You do realize that there's a difference between someone with a great gift to gab, and a leader don't you?

What a douche bag, ONLY he's allowed to Wag the dog.

Fear or Comedy "What's the Difference?" his political noise every night at 8:00pm and 11:00pm is no less of a hindered of democracy.

He talks about Fear, then he scares the crowd calling anyone that's not a Liberal "Racist, and Fear mongers"

Pot meet kettle.

TPB,

Your opinion is noted, and I disagree with it, but you're probably not a douchebag or Hitler.

nope "he" didn't .... but, the sanctioning folks that bussed in the crowd, and the bought/paid for crowd, sure did .. ALOT.

The root of Jon's speech is very interesting I think.

Ellsberg relating on how he was exposed to Gandhi's philosophy of resistance was recently eye-opening to me:

"I come from a culture in which there is no concept of enemy."

And:

"In Gandhi's teaching, no human should be regarded or treated as being "an enemy," in the sense of someone you have a right to destroy, or to hate, or to regard as alien, from whom you cannot learn, for whom you can feel no understanding or concern. These are simply not appropriate attitudes toward another human being. No one should be regarded as being--in his or her essence or permanently--evil or as utterly antagonistic. No people should be seen as being evil persons, as if they were without good in them, a different, less human order of being, as if one could learn nothing from them or as if they were unchangeable, even if what there were doing in the moment was harmful and terrible, indeed evil and needed to be opposed. Thus the whole notion of enemy was both unneeded and dangerously misleading."

There is important wisdom there. Everyone has their reasons for being as they are.

Gandhi!?!? Get a freaking grip, he's selling Axe shower Gel.

And I'm the Dope smoker?

NO I'm definitely a douche-bag and I it was proven to me Saturday night, where I noticed I was the oldest person in the place, besides "The Band". I think that's the definition of Douche bag hell...

Stewart's "we can have animus and not be enemies"

was what I was referring to above.

I'm sure somebody can't resist some wordplay right about now.
