Thanks, Limbaugh! Thanks, Coulter!

That's pretty disgusting. However, the writer of that story needs to check his terms:

The campaign manager of Arkansas Democratic congressional candidate Ken Aden arrived home last night to find his child's pet cat murdered on the front porch with the word "LIBERAL" scrawled across its lifeless body.

I do not think that word means what he thinks it means. Let's check the dictionary, shall we?

mur·der (mûr d r) n. 1. The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.

That's the legal definition, if you scrolled down a bit you'd have gotten to 5. "to kill or slaughter inhumanly or barbarously. "

and that fits here. And since you are a stickler for precise terms, If someone did that to my cat, who I love dearly, I would very likely commit several homicides once I found those responsible which I would attempt to plead down to manslaughter owing to my diminished capacity, caused by overwhelming rage and grief.

yeah, that makes it totally all right to kill the kid's cat. Whew, I feel better.

"You are either with us or you are against us."

This attitude is absolutely destructive as the 'us' and 'them' keep getting changed to reflect a smaller and smaller group of people who are so very afraid of everything. They are mentally backing themselves into a corner and will strike out as they perceive themselves to have nowhere else to go.

Sad. There is no logical reason for it.

You might want to unbunch those panties, because I'm pretty sure I didn't say or imply any goddamn thing even close to that. In fact, I'm pretty sure the first thing I mentioned was how disgusting the whole thing was, which of course it is.

Doesn't change the fact that the writer applied a human term to a non-human (much in the same way that fundie nutballs talk about "murdering" an embryo or a zygote), and words have meanings that should be respected.

Isolated incident, overzealous redneck.

Another reason for the FEMA Re-Education Camps^TM

Kind of a socialist thing for the conservative murderers to do, just distributing free cats like that.

Katzenacht?

Hey, don't forget a killing perpetrated during the commission of a felony crime.

farking subhuman filth.

Outrageous Muff: Teabaggers really have a hard time writing the letter B on things don't they.

I'm the only one that found that hilarious? Really?

That almost makes up for the picture.

lets get this out of the way first - someone who wanted to see just how inventive I can get with a car battery, some jumper cables and a bag of road salt could get an invitation to that party by killing one of my cats.

that said - this comes under the heading of terroristic threats, at least in my book. I'd see about getting the feds involved, and then make sure they coordinate with the local cops until whatever whacko did this is in a jail cell.

If that liberal pussy had supported stronger defense and hadn't instead relied on a central authority for everything, none of this would have happened.

Anyway, I agree.

there are oh so many uses for road salt.

in before one of our friendly neighborhood shills comes in here to claim that this was done by a liberal plant.

That is absolutely disgusting. I hope they catch who did this (and they probably will, because anyone who would do something so horrible and senseless is the sort to brag about it).

I really wouldn't feel bad if someone gave them the same treatment as they did to an innocent cat.

(Also: remember the correlation between killing animals and eventually killing people...)

Now I'm curious. Just how inventive can you get with a car battery, some jumper cables and a bag of road salt?

Weaver95: that said - this comes under the heading of terroristic threats, at least in my book. I'd see about getting the feds involved, and then make sure they coordinate with the local cops until whatever whacko did this is in a jail cell.

Meh. I don't have high hopes that the locals would work this case very hard.

I can think of a couple uses offhand.
And i may have dogs, not cats, but my sentiment is the same.

RELIGION OF PEACE.

False flag. The cat did it to itself.

This was obviously the work of a Liberal plant. Conservatives do not harbor violent tendencies. Only Liberals do. Study after study has proven as much.

That'd make three bat-shiat crazy people in one courtroom...who'da thunk it.

Anybody know if they rounded up the Huckabee kids for questioning?
