Texas DA, wife killed -- 2 months after his deputy is gunned down [W:627]

Only if "relatively recently" means "before either of us were born"

I can't speak for you... but I was born over a decade before any real opposition popped up... when I was born, sodomy was a felony in every single state in the union.

blowjobs were never really political though...until Clinton anyways.



it's funny how far this stupid ass tangent went... dear lord.
 
do you understand what "universally" means?..it means there was no opposition... for centuries...all over the world.
FFS...obviously there was opposition to it, it was a means of control, ergo it was an attempt to control others, meaning others felt the opposite.

When you have such poor arguments and totally faulty logic, it is the height of absurdity to start acting as if you can teach me.

Good grief.
 
you're the one trying to define a gang hit as a politically motivated act

obviously I don't know for sure.. but this has the stink of a revenge killing to me....some folks just have to find a partisan angle to everything under the sun ( which is a right wing ball of gas) :lol:
 
LOL....if you truly have any understanding of those multi-syllable terms (which I seriously doubt) and yet you still decide to play the "which part of that platform is "right wing"?" game, it is either continuing "dick-ness" or sheer ignorance. If it is the later, I suggest Altemeyer, if it is the former, what I said previously stands.
 

i'm sure gay men were opposed.. well, because they were the target of that control.

I'm sure you were smart enough to understand that "universal" didn't mean every single individual on earth... it means the total lack of political opposition
I mean, we are talking about partisan politics here...

if you are going to spew ad homs at me, at least have the common courtesy to wrap an argument around them and pretend you are a worthy opponent.
 
you're the one trying to define a gang hit as a politically motivated act
Uh, no, I didn't but then you still haven't gotten anything about me correct, so at least you are consistent.
 
Oh...I see....people who engaged in it were not part of any political process in this undefined scenario created by you, therefore there was no "political opposition".

This game is called "moving the goal-posts" by a seasoned masterdebater.

A "win", I'm sure.
 
the article identifies the motivation as a means to stopping a criminal investigation. There seems to be zero political motivation here
Um, district attorneys prosecute, the assassination was to curtail prosecution(s). And again, I was not claiming political motivation was the motivation....we call this a straw argument.
 
Uh, no, I didn't but then you still haven't gotten anything about me correct, so at least you are consistent.

you just wrote "Your denial still doesn't change the fact that they are US domestic rw terrorists when they start assassinating Texas govt officials."

ignoring the fact that the hit was most likely based on a criminal investigation
 

Nonsense. Sodomy has been an issue since the early 1900's, at least
 
you just wrote "Your denial still doesn't change the fact that they are US domestic rw terrorists when they start assassinating Texas govt officials."

Um, you still have not shown where I made it out to be "politically motivated".

Failed straw.

Are you saying a group can only have it's political orientation discussed if and only if everything they do is political?

Failed straw.

you mean besides you writing "US domestic rw terrorists when they start assassinating Texas govt officials"?

No, I am saying you clearly insinuated political motivation above.

No, you imagined it, you have been stretching everything I have posted today to fit into your imagination.

Again, a group can have a poli-sci position and act without political motivation.
 


holy ****... I gave you 3 avenue where you could have made an argument and you STILL chose not to.

it's ok, I would have destroyed your arguments, had you provided any, in any event.


there is nothing inherently "right wing" in that platform.... it is evident that your personal bias that racism, especially of the extreme variety existing in white people, is an innate right wing trait.... that's fine, there's lots of imbeciles that believe that nonsense.


protip: the "you're stupid" schtick doesn't work with me and you'd be wise to abandon that play.

and yes, I've read The Authoritarians...and to bring his work up here is rather odd , primarily because the AB platform you presented indicates adherence to only 1 of the 3 main characteristics of right wing authoritarians....I think it's rather self evident that AB adhere to a sense of authoritarian aggression ( which speaks to the ethno-nationalism I mentioned).. it's also odd because his work does not support you argument of the group being politically right wing.
 
No, you're just determined to see something that isn't there

really, it seems to be pretty clearly insinuating political motivation. Being A) he cites political affiliation B) calls them terrorists, and C) calls the killing an assasination
 
Meanwhile, back on topic-

So how did the murders of DA's start? Was a skin head or AB thrown in prison by the DA's office? Seems very focused.

I would have thought both men would be armed and have weapons in their home. Wonder what happened...
 

you are free to provide evidence of your arguments at any time... i'll even accept an argument I can independently corroborate.

but for gods sake.. provide something of value
 
the article cited their involvement with a racketeering investigation on the AB

not too many details yet... but as i said, it has the stink of retribution.

both men were armed.. and the DA was actually expecting trouble.
that kind spells midnight assassination to me.

I guess we'll see as the details are released
 

Uh....horse...to...water...

Right-wing authoritarianism is defined by three attitudinal and behavioral clusters which correlate together:[12][13]
Authoritarian submission — a high degree of submissiveness to the authorities who are perceived to be established and legitimate in the society in which one lives.
Authoritarian aggression — a general aggressiveness directed against deviants, outgroups, and other people that are perceived to be targets according to established authorities.
Conventionalism — a high degree of adherence to the traditions and social norms that are perceived to be endorsed by society and its established authorities, and a belief that others in one's society should also be required to adhere to these norms

No, it's only clear to those who are grasping for an argument. The fact that you have to use the word insinuate proves that he didn't say it

And as far as A, B and C goes, those are called facts.
 

uhhh, the horse isn't thirsty... he already had a drink

thanks for producing information I already knew and understood though.. i guess


i've explained how the AB adhere to an authoritarian aggression mindset.... now it's your turn to explain the other two characteristics.

I'm dying to hear your argument for Authoritarian Submission and Conventionalism... this oughta be grand:lol:
