Felt Like Coldcoking a Repuke Today

This racist redneck fool got me so infuriated today I wanted to coldkok him.

In line at Post Office politics somehow got takled about.

This fool says " Jimmy Carter with a tans' days are numbered"

I felt rage build up inside of me so bad I wanted to just lay this guy out, I must be losing my mind, I was invisioniong of
watching this smiling moron hit the floor like a sack of potatoes. I was sitting there thinking "I'm fantasizing about knocking the shyt
out of some right wing moron, I'm actually invisioning the outcome as if I'm serious about it..

I need an outlet....besides alcohol....lol.

that's so funny.

Seriously, though, dear OP, it's cold cocking, I believe. But not being much into violent movies, I could be wrong.

I can understand your aggravation, but at my age, I just say I'm not going to let any republican get my BP up.

Here's a line you can use. Just chuckle and say, "How did you get to be so old and still be so naive?"

Like maybe a computer program on Democratic Underground woudl automatically knock out the word "cock"

Look, you have the right to your opinion.

One thing that has always made my blood boil is the assumption that I'm just another white guy racist and strangers
can start badmouthing blacks, liberals and any other group and I"m supposed to go right along with it.

I'm not in the mood for your post pinboy....don't like the story ????

I've always felt that test subjects even randomly chosen from the available pool that sign up only because they are to be paid are self-selecting, and any responses given under those circumstances skew the data received in one direction or another.

I signed up for some bone marrow study at a medical college.

Got $50 for a bone marrow sample.

Holy hand grenades.... Nobody told me they were going to take it out of my pelvis with a spare piece of oil rig equipment.

Felt like I'd been kicked by a horse for three days.

Still... Fifty bucks...

Sure, it's outrageous.

Describing it doesn't require images of wanting to "just lay this guy out" and "watching this smiling moron hit the floor like a sack of potatoes" and "knocking the shyt out of some right wing moron"--and describing those fantasies with such pleasure.

That's just a macho-posturing glorification--and justification--of violence, even if you're only suggesting it as your fantasy.

Including those loving details of the fantasy violence is a dead giveaway, just for a heads-up.

And I can assure you that new folks are always welcome to join in the chaos.

Might I suggest to you that there is something of an unfortunate tendency for folks to raise an eyebrow when someone walks in the door and starts taking swings at folks whom we have known and loved for quite some time.

Now, I say that is unfortunate, because it does tend maybe to make some folks a little shy at first.

But you would be surprised to find out that we sometimes have people sign up, say outrageous things, and then show up on other sites pretending to be shocked at something that was posted on DU.

For example, I'm sure there are folks here who get all sorts of high blood pressure moments, but I would suspect that having detailed violent fantasies about others around them, is pretty rare around here. It does, on the other hand, appear common among people who seem to have the inclination to express their political views using violence.

...from a new poster who's not content to say that some things make him mad, he goes into detail on the violence he would like to inflict on his enemies--in a political discussion.

It's worth remembering, too, how wingnuts love to register on Liberal websites to goad members there into extreme statements.

all in his office are conservatives, but him. They usually do tone it down when he walks in a room but there is one secretary (think
Victoria Jackson) that never knows when to stop. After Romneys acceptance...she said "look I don't want to talk politics with you, but" and he said "then don't. I'd vote for a dead dog before I'd vote for a Republican" gaped mouths all round....lol
