      No, we just want fat, bald, right-winged shock jocks in jail. BTW Rusbo, I am a leftist and a soldier and I don't want to put myself in jail.

        Be careful, if he heard you he would have to tell you you're lying about being a soldier. Otherwise his head would explode because you don't match his paradigm. Thank you by the way.

      No Rush, just people like this:

      'Oath Keepers' Leader Arrested for Child Rape; Cops Find Stolen Grenade Launcher In His House

      We first noticed Marine Sgt. Charles Dyer, aka "July4Patriot," back in March, when we ran one of the first reports on the "Oath Keepers" bloc of the Tea Party movement -- an organization devoted to recruiting military and police-force veterans into a Patriot-movement belief system predicated on a series of paranoid conspiracy theories, especially the notion that the federal government intends to begin rounding up citizens and putting them in concentration camps.

      Dyer played a prominent role in connecting the Oath Keepers to the Tea Party movement, speaking at a July 4 Tea Party rally in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. And he's been involved in organizing militia "maneuvers" in Oklahoma.

      Dyer cropped up again in the news -- this time in the police blotter for allegedly raping a 7-year-old girl:

      An ex-military man has been arrested on charges of rape of a child and forcible sodomy.

      Charles Alan Dyer, 29, of Marlow, was arrested Tuesday afternoon by Stephens County Sheriff’s deputies, said Sheriff Wayne McKinney. Dyer served in the United States Marines in Iraq.

      Oh, and guess what police found when they searched his home:

      During the search the sheriff’s deputies noted several firearms and a device believed to be a Colt M-203, 40-millimeter grenade launcher, a complaint filed in the United States District Court of Western Oklahoma by Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco Special Agent Brett Williams said.

            Any reading on racist history will show many figures in the movement(s) arrested tried and convicted of child abuse or child sex.

            My own feeling is there is something about racism and the inabliity to have a intimate sexual relationship with an adult human being.

        Especially considering the quantities involved made him chargeable as a distributor, IRONY 101. That should mean mandatory jail time, right? Because that's one of the few things Republicans actually campaign on, is being 'tough on crime'. Oops, unless it's one of our golden boys, of course. Rush's scrip drug problems are no match for the hijinks of Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, Ken Lay, Dick Cheney, Alberto Gonzalez, George W. Bush, etc. etc. etc.

        You're correct if you assert that I want criminals locked up, Rush, but most soldiers are not criminals, nor are most CEOs. I know you can't help being stupid, but you can help opening your mouth and proving it. You just don't mind looking a fool if the paycheck is big enough. Know what that makes you, right?

            Rush may have become addicted to Oxycontin when it was a "prescription pain medication," but he was ILLEGALLY obtaining a Schedule 1 controlled substance. That's a felony. Any one of us would have found our rears in jail.

        You are a very uninformed individual. Do you know the definition of fascism? Well, the un-Constitutional decision handed down by the very loose constructionists on the Supreme Court pretty much opened the door to it in this country.

        You understand, right, that this opens the door for both domestic AND foreign corporations to spend as much money as they wish to influence our government. That includes Chinese corporations, Russian Corporations, Venezuelan corporations . . . ANY CORPORATION.

        If you were truly a conservative, you would be HORRIFIED at this very, very dangerous decision.
