Yeah, um, talking about *drowning* your political opponents in a bathtub *does* make you unfit for the Senate--so does shouting **** like it's a new chew toy.
(There is also.
literally, nothing negative said about WoW or gamers in general because WoW isn't the point--her statements are.)
The site is
here.
I do realize that when people are hyper-partisans--left or right--it's going to make absolutely *no* difference what is said because, like Colleen, they want to deflect from the issue at hand and what better way than claiming your opponent is maligning millions of people, right?
(I'm also certain, given the day and age, that 99% of the people bemoaning this
didn't actually check the original source for the story because it's just too good to fact check.)
The site
clearly says that she (as a WoW player)
has no ability to distinguish the real world from the online gaming world.
Also, I really think that this following statement she made, is REALLY outrageous, violent and crude!!!
How dare she miss playing with her friends?!?!? >: (
Right, got it: fantasizing about drowning your political opponents is acceptable behavior as long as you also say something innocuous.
(Amazing how you can't even bring yourself to condemn the things that *ARE* ridiculous/lunatic behavior from anyone, let alone a senate candidate. But of course that's the case,
you're exactly the hyper-partisan type to which I was referring.)
But keep on spinning! (And people wonder why independents like me are so very sick of the political process when partisans can't even call out the bad behavior of those they relate to.)
Dude, I'm Swedish and couldn't care less about any of your senates... And also, I don't have a clue if she's left or right or up or down...
Your behaviour on the other hand is very hostile, jumping to conclusions, and go to personal attacks at first sight. Maybe
you are the hyper-partisan you are referring?
That quote that I posted, was posted on the site you linked. That site say clearly in the top of the page, and I quote:
"In Colleen’s online fantasy world, she gets away with crude, vicious and violent comments like the ones below.", and that innocent quote is listed below said text, among with others just as innocent. They do mean that this is a crude, vicious and violent comment. That's what they say. Litterally. since ALL of the quotes listed there are examples of the crude vicious and violent comments.
Yes, I agree that she's said some bad things as well. But it IS on a gaming forum, where she talks some (very little) politics.. and the other violent statements is that she likes to stab enemies with her orc rouge.. Now, here is where the ones hosting this site are morons. THEY can't see the difference of stabbing someone in a game, and killing people in real life. It's a fucking game, what do you expect?
Also, her "fantasizing about drowning" a political opponent, was a response to where said opponent were, in your fancy way of expressing it: "Fantasizing about drowning the government" wouldn't that make an unfit senate candidate as well? Should I have to point out that said post also is 7 years and one month old?
Sure it's put blunt. but posting some oppinions in discussions on a gaming forum, about politics, about finding the word Cunt funny, and just talking about killing your enemies in a game, seven years ago... I hardly find that as something making anyone unfit to run for senate.
Again, I don't care about your politics on such a low level. It doesn't really affect me, who runs for senate and what not. The situation on the hand, I care about.
