    That "fail" photo is a fail itself. Anyone who's ever driven a car knows they don't paint the arrows right in the intersection, they precede the intersection. Those arrows obviously refer to an intersection off to the right of what's shown in the photo.

    Nice of Denny Crane to provide that oh-so-typical example of right-wing media manipulation.

    You've read and heard Palin's rhetoric (for example) and haven't killed anyone either.

    The point being that if rhetoric is going to influence a guy like this, it'd be the Mein Kampf, which is far far far worse than anything in the realm of our mainstream political speech, or the Manifesto.

    Nope. They point left, and point at the guard rail.

    FAIL, like the left wingers trying to make something of political speech.

    What's the difference, Ed? What MIXUM posted was less inflammatory than the falsehood, followed by a smear, that MARIS posted. I didn't agree with the MIXUM banning, but since that is the precedent, is consistency too much to ask of my board lords?

    That's an incredibly lame argument, Denny. Didn't you ever drive that Chevette? Or did you just crash it a lot when you obeyed signs literally? Here's another fail for you. This sign says you have to drive up in the air. FAIL!

    Would it really hurt to put one police officer or whatever as security over an entire event?

    I remember I had to go to court for a traffic ticket, and there were two security guards there just to defend the judge/etc. I don't see why we can't at least assign a patrol officer to the event.

    Nice of you to smear the entire military with a falsehood, LIAR.

    You argue beyond the FAIL over silliness.

    Here's an even better picture.

    isn't there a clear difference between having a target on a state/area vs a crosshairs on an individual? To me it's sort of like the differentiation we make here between insulting a group you disagree with and insulting a particular poster. I'm much less likely to take it personal if someone is painting Blazer fans or Americans with a broad brush of insults as opposed to if someone specifically calls me out

    with all the debate here over how harmless vs dangerous inciting political rhetoric is, here's an election cycle blast from the past where the Secret Service weighs in

    Both sides use ignorant rhetoric.
