Nobody ever accused them of being smart.
What goes up must come down...
A bullet fired in the air during a Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony came down and struck a participant in the head, critically injuring him, authorities said.About 10 people, including two children, had gathered for the ceremony. The man who was being initiated was blindfolded, tied with a noose to a tree and shot with paintball guns as Freeman fired a pistol in the air to provide the sound of real gunfire, Sheriff Fred Phillips said.
Replies: 18 people speak up

If there's one thing I hate more than racists it's stupid racists. Seriously, how dumb can you get? Tennessee, eh? Anyone wanna bet me who they voted for in 2000? Come on, I'll give you odds.

Geoffrey,
Sorry, dude, you lost that bet.
Aristophanes,
I believe that cretin was injured, not killed. If that bullet hit him on the head it's probably a very minor injury.

I lost? Who did he vote for, then?
Posted by Geoffrey @ 11/24/2003 08:29 PM NY
What's the matter Geoffrey? Can't tell the difference between "he" and "they"?

You know a person realizes they have no argument, but out of hatred is forced to open their cockhole, when his only argument with you is your choice of pronouns.

Oh come on Geoffrey, admit it. As much as it mgiht be stereotyping and 'pointing with mittens', who do you think a large percentage of KKK members like the fellow in the article voted for?
Answering like a smartass and saying Nader, then accusing the other person of having no argument is a good case of the pot calling the kettle black. No way anyone in the KKK votes for Nader. That's just rediculous. I am willing to bet you a hefty sum of money that at least 95% of KKK members that even bothered to vote pulled the lever for Bush.
And no, I'm not saying Bush is KKK, so don't go simplifying what I said that way. I'm saying that the message crafted by Karl Rove in certain areas was meant to appeal to certain demographics (calling things that aren't quotas, quotas, etc).

Don't "oh come on" me. It was an absolutely rediculous comment made to imply Bush attracts whackos. An article about a moron, who is probably a moron aside from the fact that he's in the KKK, who get's shot in the head has absolutely nothing to do with Bush. Nothing. Zero. Nada. Zip.
But, if you go through and read the initial comments from the same group of commenters, they always tie it back to Bush.
Editor posts about a huge snowstorm, some idiot will post about how Bush wishes it were cocaine.
Editor posts about cows falling on his lawn, some idiot will say it's better than the bombs Bush drops on Iraq.
The obsession is laughable. You can't have a discussion about ANYTHING without tying it to Bush or the GOP.
Yes, the KKK is full of idiots. Yes, they are fanatics. How do they vote? I don't have a clue. I personally think the majority of the main party candidates wouldn't be their first choice. There's probably some fanatical nobody they vote for. The KKK moron on Stern said he doesn't vote. Maybe none of them do.

You got a link to that cows falling on the lawn story? Now that's news!

Enough of this!
Can't we all agree this event was ironic and beautiful and leave it at that?

Geoffrey, remember this? "Tennessee, eh? Anyone wanna bet me who they voted for in 2000?" As Rush Limbaugh is so fond of saying, and, much like you, disregarding, "Words mean things." It's common knowledge that Tennessee went to Bush, as the media kept reminding us how Gore lost his home state. You're gonna try to pull off a clumsy bait-and-switch and then blithely imply that I'm caught up in pronouns and thus "have no argument"? Well, I suppose that's the best you can do you. Do us all (but especially yourself) a favor, though, and don't delude yourself about having a chance of debating me.
Incidentally, that part about me responding "out of hatred" was priceless comedy for reasons you'll never figure out on your own.
Maddog. . . sorry! =P

And another thing-- cut the crap. The KKK more than likely votes overwhelmingly Republican. After all, they (the KKK) (also the Republicans) do have an extreme rightwing conservative agenda. Would you like to take this opportunity to pretend that the KKK is voting for the Democrats?
Posted by conceptninja @ 11/25/2003 12:59 PM NY
Would either of you care to show me some factual information that would cause me to believe that the KKK "votes overwhelmingly Republican" or that they are responsible for Gore (who, I might add, had me as a member of his steering comittee) getting his ass kicked in his home state?
I'll wait patiently, fairly safe in my assumption that you are yapping out your cockhole.
Posted by Geoffrey @ 11/25/2003 01:56 PM NY
i think the fact that gore was a conservative masquerading as a democrat, and the fact that he had no personality, or ideas of his own, along with the fact that he is married to that fat stupid bitch tipper, were the reasons that he lost his home state. i dont think that we can rightly blame the fact that the KKK votes republican for his loss (although you do have to admit that abortion clinic bombers, skinheads, the klan, and every other kind of degenerate right wing thugs do vote overwhelmingly republican. they used to vote dixicrat, but all the dixicrats are republicans too now, any that havent gone extinct yet that is)
Posted by justin @ 11/25/2003 02:29 PM NY
yes, and ELF, ALF, and every other king of degenerate left wing thugs do vote overwhelmingly Democrat.
Both sides have their share of nutcases. Only someone without a shred of intelligence would site them as representative of the party, though.

C'mon, give the troll a break!
You'd feel pretty dumb if it was your smarter brother that got killed in a way that would bring shame to your family for genereations to come...
