Castor Troy, the ultimate liberal freedom fighter

The bomb Castor Troy planted was to go off in the LA Convention center when 3 Supreme Court Justices would be present giving speeches. If this movie was set in modern times (which would have been 1997), Bill Clinton would have been president, and he would have been able to nominate 3 new liberalish judges to the supreme court. This would have meant a liberal majority in the supreme court, which would have lasted for decades following, which means that progress in the United States would have accelerated in a ton of areas including gay rights.

Violence and terrorism are common tactics of the left.

Yeah, all those right-wing dictatorships in Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East were totally nice guys who brought their citizens love, compassion, unicorns, and rainbows.

And, of course, Timothy McVeigh was a well-known lefty, as were all those friendly liberals in the KKK.

Actually, I don't think violence and terrorism are confined to just one place on the spectrum.

Funny how you left out Bill Ayers, President Obama's best friend.

You mean that guy that lead a group that never killed anyone except one of their own fighting against something (the federal draft) that was so despised for mindlessly taking the lives of young American men that it knows longer exists?

[–] The_Ultimate_Hippo 9 years ago

So because he never succeeded in killing anyone that makes him innocent? If I rape your wife, beat her head in with a lead pipe and leave her to die but she ends up living does that mean that I'm innocent???

I'm glad to know where you stand, you support terrorism. You do realize the guy bombed the Pentagon.

You know if you disagree with the draft that's one thing, blowing sh!t up is hardly the way to go about it. I disagree with Obamacare and pretty much everything the man has done but you don't see me turning into a terrorist.

[–] jdcopyboy 9 years ago

Yes. Exactly my point. The reason they didn't kill anyone was because they specifically targeted buildings that had no people in them. And they were doing it to protest the fact that govt was taking lives of their own citizens, so they ended up saving lives in the process when the very unpopular draft ended. You really can't say that of any of the conservatives listed above. There is huge difference because this comment just erased your one example of a liberal terrorist while history has a cavalcade of right wing ones.

[–] The_Ultimate_Hippo 9 years ago

So if you disagree with what the government is doing you should bomb the Pentagon??? So if I went and started bombing government buildings because I don't like Obamacare would you still maintain your position on terrorism?

I need to alert the FBI and have them start monitoring you because you clearly support terrorism.

Face it Bill Ayers was a terrorist and no one ever investigated Obama's relationship with him like they should have. The left really doesn't seem to mind terrorism, I mean terrorists threaten a woman for drawing cartoons of Mohammad and the left attacks the woman instead of the terrorists threatening to kill people.

LOL. They know each other. Do they play golf, have holiday dinners together? Is that a "best friend?" Are you talking about the Weather Underground, which bombed EMPTY buildings 50 years ago?

Great example.

He started his political career with Bill Ayers. Oh so by your logic if the building is empty its OK to bomb it? Awesome, there are some houses being built near where I am, I'm going to get some TNT and have some fun. Seriously though Ayers was a terrorist and no one ever bothered to question Obama's connection to him.

Yep because It is liberals who literally bomb Abortion Clinics every year.. Oh and the most evil government in the world (Nazi's) was a LEFT wing government... Wait that's completely the opposite of facts.. Fascism is a far right wing system of government and you people literally commit terrorist acts in the name of your "beliefs" on a regular basis...

Your statement sounds pretty moronic when it is the Republicans who actually wanted to go in and defeat terrorism and the Democrats undermined that effort every step of the way. Not to mention that the Democrats support open boarders and sanctuary cities which not only would make it easier for terrorists to enter but there actually are illegal immigrants who are killing and raping innocent civilians.

Plus I am waiting to hear your evidence or source that proves that the majority of people on the right bomb abortion clinics. I personally don't remember ever bombing an abortion clinic, maybe I did it when I was sleep walking.

Yeah democrats fought THE IRAQ WAR which even republicans now admit was a mistake.. How was that fighting terrorism? I don't remember Saddam Hussein invading our country once.. We declared war on his country TWICE... He had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.... Also where is this evidence that it is republicans bombing these clinics? Well liberals support abortion, so why would they bomb them? That is blatantly moronic.. You sir are willingly ignorant, and a useful idiot to the GOP propaganda machine.
That is not an insult, useful idiot is a term Lenin used to describe the people who would buy into propaganda even though it was against their better needs...

[–] The_Ultimate_Hippo 8 years ago

And now the Democrats have pulled us out of the Middle East and what did we get in return....ISIS! Great job Dems, good call.

As for the abortion clinics I am guessing you don't have any evidence to support your radical claims, I kind of figured you wouldn't, and by the way lets just be honest and call "abortion clinics" what they really are...baby murder.

YEp we have a soul at conception even though our sex isn't formed neither are our brains, what we know makes us all we are.. But some dumbass book put together by Romans, and written by men who wanted to control others including women says they do, so they obviously do, even though science has proven they don't... Also just google abortion clinic bombing, you will see it happens a lot.

Cute how violent right-wingers love to say Liberals are violent. It's called projection.

Make a spreadsheet of violent Liberal action and violent right-wing action. I'll wait.

Just look at the Trump rallies, the left is infiltrating them and wrecking havoc just to disrupt. I'm fine with it though the more the left disrupts Trump rallies the better it makes Trump look and it makes the left look more like terrorists.

I think there is enough in there that already covers that. Paranoid delusions come to mind. I think it is basically impossible for anyone to not have at least one mental problem according to DSM

Uh maybe I've been living under a rock but I don't remember Donald Trump ever blowing any buildings up, I do remember Bill Ayers blowing buildings up. Please educate me.
