it wasn’t him deriding southerners as somehow loose cannons or redneck brawlers or something. Sure.

Try to call my mother a b*tch to my face and we’ll see about that. But bring an ice pack, because you’re going to need it.

People can call me anything they like, but they’d better keep my family out of it.

I offer this for those who say Bishop didn’t hit him hard, in reality, Bishop “cleaned his clock” with a blow square to the chin.

On a pretty popular local radio talk show this AM, Bishop came on and admitted that he was wrong but that the slur to Bishop’s mother just took hold of him. He also described how he had to admonish his own son for expressing how proud he was of his dad, saying that while he stands behind what he did, it was the wrong place and wrong time for such an action. He also mentioned that he’s waiting for an apology from Barron before he offers one himself.

Those not from the south, like AP, who like to bash on us or poke fun, remember that we still take personal honor very seriously. Call me a SOB to my face and I’ll deliver a right hook to your face, I may be arrested for it, I may be sued and lose, but I’ll still do it, without hesitation.

Bishop guaranteed his spot in the Alabama Senate for as long as he wants it by proving to his constituents that he’s simply not going to take sh*t.

Barron is not well liked in most of Alabama and most here are cheering Bishop even while the yankees are jeering the south.

I have to say though, I do like the look of all the glass houses non-Southerners live in as they stand on their porch throwing rocks at us.

Sounds like Democrats have been unhinged for a long time….

Bradky on June 8, 2007 at 1:05 PM

You’re joking right? You have yet to say anything of relevance in order to have someone prove your point. The difference between accusing Bush of lying, calling him a mass murderer, and calling him an idiot and someone accusing Bill Clinton of lying, being an adulterer, and covering up Flight 800 is huge. The evidence for the accusations against Clinton is overwhelming. The evidence for the accusations is non-existent. (this is merely an example)

If someone were to refer to me as an idiot, which has happened from time to time, and I informed them of my status as a college student this would tend to refute their claim. If I referred to the same person as an idiot (which I wouldn’t bother) and they informed me of their GED, and job at the local McDonalds this would be evidence in favor of my claim.

If I accuse a democrat such as Harry Reid of being a traitor, and in so doing produce the definition of a traitor, and give an example, I am not making false accusations, I am proving my accusation to be true, which makes it no longer an accusation, but just plain truth.

This is the difference between Conservatives and Liberals, I have never met a single Liberal that could provide evidence to support their views in regards to Bush. They merely have searing hatred toward him, and that’s more than enough for them.

Oh, I don’t know. Seemed ok to me for an older guy. I think he handled it just about right.

I’m fairly certain there have been more.

Oh yea, have you forgot about Preston Brooks?

And he was a Southerner too.

Over 3 hours from my challenge to you, and still no facts, but a lot of insults. Other bloggers may start to believe that you don’t have any substance, better get to work on backing up your assertion…I gave you a couple of names, where are yours?
I would say 1/2 hour more would make it 4 hours, plenty of time to Google your retort. What? You couldn’t find any?…what a surprise, the liberals are the antagonists, the facists, the ones that insult and not give facts. Oh yeah, you will not stoop to such petty “strawman” tactics, even with no facts, you know the “truth”, you can feel the truth, it is in your little bleeding heart. Those, those conservatives are eeviiil people, and they aren’t nice…they use facts, that’s not fair…they are racists, dictators, murderers, and poo poo heads.

Capitalist Infidel on June 8, 2007 at 2:27 PM

Hold on, I thought conservatives are the bigots….

Either way, I’d clean a man’s clock for insulting my mother. There are just some lines you don’t cross.

Bradky on June 8, 2007 at 1:05 PM

I’ve noticed by comparing posts here and on dKos that liberals seem much much more adept at insulting people than conservatives.

I’d be interested to find out if it’s genetic or learned. I would have to bet that it’s learned, through years of practice. I mean, how could it be any other way? The liberal platform is so full of wishful thinking and half-truths that they only way you could promote it is through character assassination of your opposition.

Oh, wait…

The Burr-Hamilton duel

Spoken like a Jihad supporting, flag burning Liberal.

“Someone” usually is a traitorous, lying, evil Liberal to receive a response like that. Hening on June 8, 2007 at 12:57 PM

Thanks for proving my point.

On the morning of February 15, 1798, pandemonium broke out on the floor of the United States House of Representatives. Without warning, Federalist Representative Roger Griswold of Connecticut strode across the chambers to where his colleague Matthew Lyon was sitting preoccupied with some correspondence. Cursing him as a “scoundrel,” Griswold pounded the Vermont Republican’s head and shoulders with a thick, hickory walking stick. Federalist Representative George Thacher of Massachusetts witnessed and later recalled the attack:

I’m fairly certain there have been more.

Actually it is in the hip rotation. If he rotates his right hip in the direction of the punch while at the same time delivering the punch with his right hand, bicuspids will depart from the mouth.

You mean like this?

I suppose republicans who insisted on calling someone a traitor, liar or evil might learn to be a lot more soft spoken as well.
