#1 They said that if Bushitler was elected, people would be persecuted for their political beliefs. Apparently, it is true. I love the bit at the end about "such a thing as too much tolerance".

#2 Ten bucks say these gallery owner's political positions helped make us dependent on the people who funded 9/11 for our oil and gas.

#3 I think that guys is going to blow his brains out if Obama doesn't win.
Although, I don't know where he'd ever find a gun in Tiburon.

#4 Blow his brains out? He'd better have a laser scope on that pistol when he inserts it into this mouth ...

#5 Pardon me, but this guy needs a Size-10 cluebat right between the eyes - WE ARE NOT YOUR FUCKING ENEMY, YOU FUCKING IDIOT! We are your fellow citizens and countrymen. We are your brothers, fathers, mothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents. We're your boss, your employee, your customer, your sales rep, your accountant, your secretary, that guy or woman or who sits in the cubicle beside you or across the aisle from you. We're the people in the cars driving on the highway around you to and from work or sitting in that same stop n' go traffic with you.

We're your kids, your kid's teachers, your gardener, your golf buddy, your doctor, your lawyer, the girl or guy across the counter selling you that soda and bag of chips. We're the soldier fighting in Iraq, the seaman on duty on a carrier in the Persian Gulf, the weekend warrior in the National Guard, the security guard at the shopping mall, the policeman cruising through your neighborhood keeping you safe. We're your church pastor or one of the parishioners sitting around you on Sunday morning.

We are all around you and we are everywhere in all walks of life and in all professions. We do not wear our politics on our sleeve and will not wear any symbol we do not desire to. We carry guns, support gun control, choose life, or think that a woman's body and soul are hers to do with what she will. We support the President and our troops and we believe that the President is a few donuts short of a baker's dozen and that the war is a colossal mistake and a huge waste of money. We are rich, we are poor, and we are middle class, and everything else in between.

We spend money in stores where we see something we like to buy and we don't worry about what that shopkeeper's politics might be. We talk with our friends and family and we let them know what we think about situations and other people. We drink, we smoke, we abstain, we laugh, we cry, and we do all the things that you do and are everything that you could ever imagine being.

We are your countrymen and fellow citizens. WE ARE NOT YOUR FUCKING ENEMY, YOU FUCKING IDIOT! Don't make us your enemy because, like I pointed out above, we are everywhere and we have guns. You wouldn't like the result.

#6 These lunatics have blood on their hands, and more to come.

Forgot about the blood of the million and quarter Cambodians on yours and your kind.

The 'lunatics' won't have real blood on their hands till you do your stupid Ft. Sumter [circa 2008+] trick.

#7 Ten bucks says it wasn't his gallery; he was just the clerk.

#8 Folks, there are a lot of things to notice in this piece. One I'd like to point out is that the incidence of the F word is much, much higher on these moonbat blogs than it is here in Rantburg. Also, a lot of the times when it is used here at Rantburg it is altered or partially self-censored with asterisks or other special characters by the posters so as to at least water it down a bit. Now, I admit that I have used this word from time to time in my life. But I don't allow it's use in my home and I feel a tiny twinge of conscience when I use it in other places. I also feel slightly threatened when I hear it in public places because I'm afraid someone with such blatant disregard for what polite society thinks might be so antisocial as to become violent. So, congratulations Rantburgers. By this measure you are less antisocial, more tolerant, more civil, more polite and just plain nicer to be around than Democrats.

Excellent! (Not just that paragraph, but the whole comment--but that paragraph gave me a laugh.)

#10 I live in Tiburon. I have no idea if I've ever been in this gallery. Doubt it. But I might make a point of it now, just to tell the owner/clerk what a jerk they are.

#11 Funny, if true.

#12 I think this guy is great at advertising!

I suspect that he made up this entire event just so he could be a hero for The Cause and hopefully generate some sympathetic buzz for himself.

The dialog sounds absolutely fake. The client supposedly said, "Sarah Palin is our only hope for salvation" which sounds like something that a moonbat would imagine a conservative to say in an imaginary exchange.

And then after tough boy kicks them out - the $1200 bowl (snicker) is just SOOOO beautiful that the husband begged to buy it anyway. Yeah right. Sure.

Smart guy. I have no doubt that the moonbats will flock to his store to show their solidarity and support.

#13 Fiction, though not very good fiction.

#14 Sorry, but socialists are your enemy.

#15 Who knows? It may be fact, based upon fiction. What if a fellow traveler accidentally bumped the bowl, and it landed on the floor and it became highly disorganized? What would the owner do? Would he resort to the F-word? Would he call the Po-Leese? What if the customer used all the fellow traveler buzzwords, would he/she/it/them get a pass?

So many questions, so few working neurons.....it's a zen thang.

#16 Bright Pebbles, My fellow countrymen and citizens are not my enemy until they show themselves to be by taking up arms against me. We may disagree on any number of things and I may dislike them intensely, but until they take up arms against me I will not consider them my enemy.

That doesn't mean I trust them in all things, however, and I will keep my own arms close at hand when dealing (or not dealing) with some of them.

I just prefer to think that my fellow countrymen and citizens deserve the benefit of doubt until they prove otherwise.
