Bull hockey!!!

ā€œA Pueblo County commission candidate said an article posted on
Facebook saying the Newtown shootings were a hoax said his
remarks were misunderstood.ā€

Yet at the same time he says ā€œā€¦he didn’t do a good job
Wednesday during a debate where he defended posting
the articleā€ [emphasis mine].

This is another GOP non apology as in ā€œI’m sorry if I offended
anyone.ā€ He apologized ā€œfor hurting those affectedā€¦ā€

I won’t believe he means it until he swears on the Bible that he
does truly believe it happened.

Misunderstood? I don’t think so. Ready said very clearly that the killings never happened and questioned them because of one parents emotional changes when entering a meeting about the tragedy. These words are very clear to me and I haven’t misunderstood them.
The man is delusional and should not be allowed near any position of responsibility.
I saw his remarks and he very CLEARLY SAID THE KILLINGS DID NOT HAPPEN.
I have a hard time being tolerant of idiots like this.

In the style of another esteemed poster’s snarky and parody filled style. I’m speaking of the poster known as theghostofeustacetilly

Bullshit! You say it, you own it!

Who knew the batsh*t demographic is entitled to a ā€œdiscussionā€ about anything.

Nice to see an obdurate Gooper cave and with such cravenness.

The Denver Post article says that Tom Ready’s response to the criticism of his remarks was ā€œWhere’s freedom of speech?ā€

I see different versions of this response all the time. Apparently some folks think that ā€œfreedom of speechā€ means that they have the freedom to say things but other people don’t have the freedom to respond to them.

Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way.

Sorry, but I don’t believe him.
And now he is also a known liar, no misunderstanding.

Plus what we have been learning about the Denver Post rag, is they are not politically neutral…the opinion editor, I can’t think of his name right now, is pretty much spouting and protecting the gop while squashing anything anti-gop…the Post is not a good paper to rely on for news and politics…they are more hit and miss than anything…no wonder why it is for sale…

Sicko bastards have no business running for office OR owning a gun. What an offensive, addle-pated lout. Coloradans deserve better.

My remarks were ā€œmisunderstoodā€.
I only meant to raise money off of the lunatics, not get caught doing it!

Misunderstood my patooty. I saw that video. He said there was evidence the parents were putting on an act and that people should look into that. He’s only apologizing because it’s hurting him politically.

First off, Hi bwak, long time : )
Next, you are very right, these guys have some sort of sickness that numbs them to life. Putting politics ahead of the real people that politics are for becomes all consuming it seems.
I’m a Coloradan and I got involved in this politics thing because I could no longer keep quiet and realized that I had to speak up in order to get better reps and government., that we all deserve.

This particular jerk should have eggs tossed at him, got any suggestions ; )

You get the tar, I’ll provide feathers. :wink:
