Explain how person "A" saying what he thinks person "B" would do to person "C" constitutes an actual threat of any kind.
If I were to say "Warpedskydiver would like to shoot the president", have either you or I made a threat?

QuoteNo compairson...the Dems would scream bloody murder, the repukes just kinda sweep it under the rug. Both parties are full of crap, the dem-dummies are just bigger whiners
Ha ha - lots of right-wing whining going on right here.

It's more like the comptroller of your school saying that the "poly sci Prof would put a bullet in the presidents head if he could get away with it."
You see the inference is that the statement was actually made, and that he was speaking on behalf of Fuckup Chuck

It's all perception-opinion, which holds no value except to the person spewing the crap!
QuoteQuoteQuoteA few hours later, Controller Hevesi held a press conference to apologize for his comments.
Sen. Schumer replied that Hevesi's comments were inappropriate and uncalled for.
A pretty stupid thing to say but what should the punishment be for such statement. What would happen if a member of the GOP said Hillary or Feinstein should be killed?
There would be immediate outrage (see Trent Lott) and screams about over the top radical murdering right wing radicals. There would be calls for his immediate resignation, no apology, no matter how sincere and heartfelt would be acceptable. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Chuck Shumer would trample little old ladies as they stampeded to all available microphone to blast Bush and his hate mongering cronies. But alas, this jackass was just committing a verbal faux pas.
Do you really beleive that? Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining!

NY Politician Says Sen. Schumer Would Put Bullet in Bush's Head
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

It would sound a lot like Ann Coulter saying that someone should put rat poison in Justice Steven's creme brulee. You folks were outraged about that one right?

An accusation of a crime is not the same as advocating a crime (e.g. assassination).
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

It wasn't a "should" (advocating or encouraging an action), it was a "would" (predicting someone else's future behavior). To the best of my knowledge, predicting the future is still (a) iffy at best, and (b) not a criminal offense.

The difference is on one hand you have a political commentator tossing bombs because that's how she earns her living and on the other hand you have an elected official, a representative of the people, making an admittedly over the top statement. Ann Coulter has no political power over anyones life.
Nice try at distraction, though.

Nice that you don't hold elected officials to a higher standard of conduct than a political commentator.

I would think Ann has more "followers" than this dude, therefore can probably effect more change and maybe she should be held to a higher standard?
The funny thing is, I saw an interview with Ann on a Canadian channel in which she was just making baseless statements. When she got called on it she ended the interview and refused to reply to any further communications.
She makes a lot of noise, some seem to equate that to intelligence. Would certainly explain their behaviour.

What are you talking about?
On a side note, as long as you have been on DZ.Com, don't you think it's time you learned how to quote? If you PM me, I'll walk you through it.

If Schumer hadn't publically condemend the statement then I would have had a problem with it. Hevesi screwed up. That was a stupid thing to say and he should apologize for letting his emotions guide his tounge. Hell, fine him. Fire him. I don't care. But regarding Coulter, for whatever reason, she gets a LOT of airtime on prime time news programming in in the papers. I'd certainly call her much more influential than the NY comptroller. Actually I'd call her a loudmouthed, ignorant, hateful bigot who doesn't deserve to be given the time of day, much less a forum...but that's probably understood.

Trust me, this position is going to come back to bite you in the ass one day. Just remember you said it, OK?
