    It seems like the Mods don't like your condescending, jackass style of posting either.

    perhaps why you got banned a lil while back, eh 82?

    Stop right there, false premise. Rolling Stone didn't ask "How?", they tried to explain what happened to poor Dzhokhar. In case you missed it, the cover says "How a popular, promising student was failed by his family, fell into radical Islam, and became a martyr". Notice the left-wing verbiage in portraying Dzhokhar as a victim of his family, and how he "fell" into radical Islam, almost like someone would fall into an open man hole while walking down the street.

    If this had been a white supremacist right-wing militia member, Rolling Stone wouldn't have put a "rock star" image of him up on the front page and appealed to the empathy of liberals on the circumstances that led him to commit murder. Society as a whole would have condemned him completely.

    You attack the bible all the time...nothing but words written on paper.

    Don't be so hypocritical. It's unbecoming.

    Oh, but that's different somehow. There's no such thing as a double standard to progressives, because the 2nd standard can always be changed if need be.

    Can't tell if they're fringe liberals, or fellow Islamists - all of the supports I've seen look Middle Eastern. Most likely they blame his actions on "Islamic oppression", similarly to how the far-left blames any crimes committed by blacks or other minorities as just a response to "white oppression".

    Wow! When you put it THAT way it make .....absolutely no sense. What you wrote is the definition of "how", as in how did it happen. The rest of my rant holds too.

    Your response is what doesn't make sense. Your claim is that Rolling Stone was asking "how" this could have happened, when they weren't really asking at all. They have their answer... the left-wing answer. The one that paints poor Dzhokhar as a victim.

    And immediately denouncing him as a monster.

    With a focus on "how did it come to this? Why did this guy become a monster?"

    Dude, if you're going to make assertions about what the article says, read the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing article first.

    Staggering ignorance. Just incredible. "I don't understand these people or how they think and I don't think we ought to understand them or how they think!"

    Did you read the article before dissing it?

    I get that, but thinking about it some more... I'd have to say Rolling Stone, and every other publication, should think twice about using images of crazed mad men for feature covers, or even at all. It's my belief that these folks want the attention, exposure, and everything that comes with their newly acquired notoriety. It's why they choose public televised events to commit their atrocities. I expect the news to play right into that, but a Rolling Stone Cover (a publication that doesn't have to entertain that noise) is about as good as it gets as "hey, non news readers... get a load of me, in all my splendor". They've covered the President for EPV's sake (I'd rather not say God).

    All in all, don't buy it if you don't like it... but don't give these invisible losers the light they crave.

    Nah Dzhokhar said "I'm innocent" in court . Also they're accused of killing three people during drug deals but there is no evidence , just accusations .

    Begs the question - first establish that support of the bombers is a left-wing position.

    My position is liberty-centered: the magazine has the right to print it, you have the right to ignore it - so what's the problem? It's not like they celebrated his alleged crimes, heck - it's not like he's even been proven guilty by the justice system.

    Hitler covered Time. Twice. Why is this guy so much worse? He killed 3 people - alright, that's abhorrent and obviously he should be prosecuted and his guilt determined by a jury of his peers, but that doesn't mean all mention of him should be purged.

    I'd call this a reasonable complaint.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Where? Where'd it go? I didn't see it. Must've been moving pretty fast. Or maybe it's just another desert mirage?

    People still read rolling stone? Nothing like a bunch of old people talking about music that sucks. At least if they cause an outrage people may buy the magazine and feel bad for the guy who maimed all those people.

    Your response was "shut up". Not once in this thread did you lamely attempt to take me to task on anything.

    Whilst I am certain in the circles in which you run that is considered a gutting critique, if my words offend you, then you are free to not read them.

    Really? I do? Go fetch that post for us all. Go on. Back up your dishonest, petulant little post. Go show the world the example of me "attacking the bible". You can, right? You are not just making things up know to score cheap points amongst your little circle, right?

    Let's see it. Show the world that you are not simply making things up, hoping top not get called on it, praying that you can now find that post.

    And I duly congratulated you on the birth of your little strawman when you did that.

    I am quite aware you "objected" to a bunch of made up (*)(*)(*)(*), that you "objected" to nonsense I did not say, that you "objected" to a false position you assigned to me.

    A strawman. Own it. Embrace it. Cherish it. After all, you invented it in this case.

    :smile:Of course we have interest in the cause. The thing is we know what that cause is already. They hate the U.S. and its people. We are letting to many of them in now days. And this needs to be attended to until we get it straightened out.

    :roflol:And just how are you lefties going to stop the next Boston bomber when you sympathize for them so much. You need to take your blinders off for once.

    :omg:To them if they don't believe its true then it has to be totally wrong. They don't know how to look at something from both sides anymore. Ubango took that away from them.
