RESPONSES - The Killer & the Law, pt 1

Raymond Gardner - Dude when you broke out the spreadsheet and put these fools in their places with their own words. I had to suppress the urge to cheer out loud here at work. Some of the best Troll Handling & Maintenance™ I've seen in a good long while! 
I don't know how your blood pressure doesn't boil over dealing with RWNJs on a regular basis.
Muhammad Rasheed - They always consider me the troll.
Raymond Gardner - They also consider themselves the white-hatted heroes in the story of America too. White hats, indeed...
Raymond Gardner - They've mastered projection and cognitive dissonance so well they've fooled themselves. Almost no amount of fact or reason will convince them of anything other than what they cling to. They hate you for even trying, but that pesky Cognitive Dissonance prevents them from saying out loud to you what they really want to say about your name, ya face, ya religion, ya EVERYTHING! 
So they'll suppress the urge and then release it in a far more dangerous and passive-aggressive way, like in policy, hiring, policing, courts, etc., then say their hands are clean and its the minorities' massive character flaws and natural deficiencies that bring on the misery in their communities.
Tim Brown - Yes, a lot of this conversation has been cut out! This is unethical! Where is your integrity?
Ken Krueger - To whom it may concern: the thread above was taken from my thread and DRASTICALLY edited. Mr. Rasheed has posted this in such a way as to completely distort the conversation.In fact, I deleted the thread due to an escalating personal and insulting trend, proved in great part by sexist, racist and anti-Semitic posts by Mohammad.Sadly, this comes as an extreme disappointment, as my previous conversations with him had been productive, or so I thought.I often host threads in which I try to facilitate frank discussions of complex issues. Race is the most complex and sensitive of them all.Therefore, when Mr. Rasheed called a woman a "racist hoe", after he had already been warned, rather than eliminate only him from the discussion, I eliminated the discussion, so as not to, ironically, appear to favor the White woman he insulted.Now that I know what I'm dealing with, I can defend myself (and my speech) from further misappropriation.What a shame...I thought I was dealing with a man.
Ken Krueger - Al Bush...just wanted you to see this. I want to make sure you're not done like this.
Elizabeth Jaggie - Elizabeth Jaggie wrote - per your request Muhammad; here's the link...Holder Admits ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ Claim Was Bogus
Muhammad Rasheed - There's a lot more material added to that thread, more than the Note above can physically handle. The rest of the thread will have to be re-created in The Killer & the Law, parts 2 and 3 (and possibly a 4.)
I'm not leaving out anything. In fact, I take extensive screen captures so that anybody concerned at "heavily/drastically edited" accusations will be assured it is actually the nervous accuser who is the liar. Ken, I suggest you stand down on that accusation.
Hank Mansfield - Bullshit.
Hank Mansfield - Where are your posts antagonizing people, Muhammad?
Muhammad Rasheed - Those will probably be in the 3rd part since that stuff ended the thread.
Muhammad Rasheed - Common sense.
Hank Mansfield - And do you plan on profiting in any way?
Muhammad Rasheed - In a Facebook Note?
Muhammad Rasheed - How?
Hank Mansfield - You're some kind of cartoonist or something, I was wondering if you annoy the shit out of people to get material for your cartoons.
Muhammad Rasheed - lol
Muhammad Rasheed - Racists are inherently annoying. What you feel when you engage with me is called "cognitive dissonance." You're actually feeling the annoyance from within, slick. 
But you'll be alright. No one's going to lynch you. 
Muhammad Rasheed - I don't want my Note cluttered with your shitty music link bombs, Hank.
Hank Mansfield - Muhammad Rasheed wrote:"Racists are inherently annoying"So he's confessing to being a racist.
Muhammad Rasheed - Wait for the other parts of the Note, please. That material is in there. lol
Hank Mansfield - No, you confessed to being a racist.
Elizabeth Jaggie - Muhammad Rasheed wrote: "They always consider me the troll"...I take it that you do this often then; go race baiting on other people's posts (after befriending them) to try and get people to argue with you so that you can blog about it (after editing to your satisfaction)??? Sorry, but you were the only racist in the thread - rather ironic, huh?  I'm at least glad to know that my original assessment of you and your behavior was spot on....you've got some serious "issues", I hope you seek help.


Muhammad Rasheed - Since you and Elizabeth are here, you may as well read through some of my other Notes. Perhaps you'll recognize yourselves in some of the archetypes.
Muhammad Rasheed - Elizabeth Jaggie wrote: "...per your request Muhammad; here's the link..."
Let me assure you I never asked for any drivel from The Daily Caller. 
Elizabeth Jaggie wrote: "...I take it that you do this often then; go race baiting on other people's posts..."
I don't have to go anywhere. People proclaim their psycho claptrap right on my Newsfeed. You must be new to Facebook, hm?
Elizabeth Jaggie wrote: "(after befriending them)"
Ken reached out to me (the big dummy).
Elizabeth Jaggie wrote: "...to try and get people to argue with you so that you can blog about it..."
No challenge involved there either. You racists are inherently contentious. Are you not on my Timeline now picking a fight? I don't even remember engaging you in combat.
Elizabeth Jaggie wrote: "(after editing to your satisfaction)???"
I don't edit my opponents' wack-a-doo comments. Is this you all's way of trying to cover your ass? lol It actually reminds me of the way GOP politicians act. Cute. No, unfortunately for you, I don't edit your racist bullshit. I like to show the whole world how you actually are. Perhaps you will shove that racist bullshit back into it's [water] closet after you got so comfortable releasing it with the new black POTUS.
Elizabeth Jaggie wrote: "Sorry, but you were the only racist in the thread - rather ironic, huh?"
I've noticed long ago that racist white people always level the charge of 'racist' on any black person that dares shine the spotlight on their evil racist behaviour. And they do it promptly on cue as a weird defensive mechanism, one that actually involves altering the term's definition to a degree. I always chalk it up to your white privileged entitlement psychosis ("You're racist for pointing out my racism! How dare you, n199er!"). Currently I'm gathering data to write a definitive piece on the topic. You may continue to provide that material as you like. 
Elizabeth Jaggie wrote: "I'm at least glad to know that my original assessment of you and your behavior was spot on..."
I'm surprised you managed to actually learn how to read...
Elizabeth Jaggie wrote: "you've got some serious "issues", I hope you seek help."
You know what will help me? If you and your collective Euro-ethnic groups stop being racists. That'll help out a lot. Make that happen, please. Thanks.
Muhammad Rasheed - [makes a careful note that whenever a white woman says "case closed" she sincerely believes that the case must now be closed by virtue of her superior magic white woman powers. if a black man doesn't heed her command, she very well may shout "rape" from pure indignation]
Muhammad Rasheed - Hank, if you want me to keep your comments here, let them be more profound and of genuine substance that will add to the discussion.
Muhammad Rasheed - I'll keep your nonsense in the Note itself though, so folks will see that's how you really operate.
Hank Mansfield - Hey, you brought me here, snitch.
Muhammad Rasheed - I'm glad you're here. Now get your intellect game up. I have a higher standard than those jackass thread deleters in other parts of Facebook.
Muhammad Rasheed - WE DON'T BURN BOOKS HERE.
Muhammad Rasheed - I value a spirited debate, and real intellectual discussions. You are more than welcome to stay. 
If you want me to think ill of you, continue to post your worthless shitty music links that are only a clear distraction because you are actually afraid to engage with me.
Hank Mansfield - What is it about Metallica that you think is shitty?
Hank Mansfield - It shows racism on your part.
Muhammad Rasheed - lol No, I'm calling it shitty because I don't share your taste in music. I have white artists in my playlist.
Muhammad Rasheed – 


Muhammad Rasheed -  ;)
Smile for the camera.
Hank Mansfield - What, Air Supply ?
Muhammad Rasheed - Ugh. No.
Muhammad Rasheed - A bunch of stuff. Some Sinantra. Queen. 
Good stuff. You don't know about that. You look 12 in your profile pic.
Hank Mansfield - Cat stephens?
Muhammad Rasheed - hahahaha
Muhammad Rasheed - No.
Muhammad Rasheed - Okay, if that's all you came to talk about I have some other stuff I need to do. Check back for the other parts of our thread.
Muhammad Rasheed - (you would have to be in my Friend List to talk about that stuff. You ain't my friend)
Hank Mansfield - I really don't care, MR. The goofy is strong in you.
Muhammad Rasheed - Sinantra is goofy? 
You may go now, crazy.
Hank Mansfield - Muhammad Rasheed wrote it twice.Links to Sinantra, please.
Muhammad Rasheed - Right now I see the words "Friends with Ken Krueger" next to your name. That means you do not rate having a lighter discussion. We don't have that kind of history. Please confine your discussion topics to the actual subject that brought you here. Accuse me of more editing if you like.
Muhammad Rasheed - ***Just finished reading Ken's "To Whom It May Concern" message in its entirety***
Muhammad Rasheed - lol
Muhammad Rasheed - You are some slimy people. That's for true and for certain. 
It would seem to me that any reasonable person would assume at this point that I actually have that ENTIRE THREAD saved. I haven't had time to prepare the whole thing for the Note format as it was quite lengthy, but it IS coming. Ken seemed comfortable in that post making up lies in the false assumption that the thread was lost forever. lol
This will be his undoing. Ken you are a thread deleting jackass (the woist kind of jackass, of course) and a liar. Take a bow.
Ken Krueger - I stand down on nothing. Nor am I blocking you. What you're doing is wrong, and now you're doing it again, trying to bait decent people into anger.
This is simply wrong. And here is the truth:

Officer Darren Wilson cleared by the Justice Department

Muhammad Rasheed - I've already demonstrated that your interpretation of this is pretty funky.

Ken Krueger - One must wonder why AG Holder's comments didn't accurately
reflect his own report. It's obvious some ignorant people, people like you who continue to use racially divisive and hurtful language that tens contrary to the facts, still believe a false narrative.
So here it is Muhammad ; Holder's entire report.
After you read it, you can issue your apologies, or remain a liar: shame!

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REPORT REGARDING THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE SHOOTING DEATH OF MICHAEL BROWN BY FERGUSON, MISSOURI POLICE OFFICER DARREN WILSON

Muhammad Rasheed - Ken, I have zero respect for people who level racist charges against minorities. It's not a real argument.

Muhammad Rasheed - It's not a department of black cops who are abusing a white community in Ferguson. Please start using a measure of common sense.

Ken Krueger - I'm just a dummy.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REPORT REGARDING THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE SHOOTING DEATH OF MICHAEL BROWN BY FERGUSON, MISSOURI POLICE OFFICER DARREN WILSON

Ken Krueger - But I'm not a racist and I'm not a liar. You are either both, or are ignorant of the facts. Either way, check yourself. Or if you'd prefer, cease and desist. Consider yourself notified.

Ken Krueger - The facts, in the off chance it's ignorance:

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REPORT REGARDING THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE SHOOTING DEATH OF MICHAEL BROWN BY FERGUSON, MISSOURI POLICE OFFICER DARREN WILSON

Muhammad Rasheed - Ken, your original status regarding how you interpreted that report as filtered through the CNN article is right above you in the Note. Are you ready to explain how you came to those odd and inaccurate conclusions?

Ken Krueger - If you can show me an inaccurate conclusion, I'll address it.

Muhammad Rasheed - Go into the Note, scroll to the bottom, and read those spreadsheets I made for you that compare what you said to the article you sourced, please.

Ken Krueger - In the meantime, feel free to address the flat out wrong statements you made.
Somehow you've decided I'm the enemy. Fine. But I live less than 10 miles from Ferguson. I watched the lie and distortions coming from our government lead to violence. I saw outside activists like Al Sharpton come to town and fan flames of racial tension for fun and profit.
And it continues...I can't fault you for believing what you've been told, but my OP was intended for St. Louisians who are fed up with lies.
It's very frustrating to hear people promote a false narrative about my town.
I don't know what your motive in twisting this around and making personal slanders against people of genuine good will, but you now have every link you requested.
That Holder's words didn't reflect the content of his own department's report is curious. And inflammatory. And I'm tired of it.

Muhammad Rasheed - Ken Krueger wrote: "Somehow you've decided I'm the enemy."

lol No, I don't consider you THE enemy, just a representative of the greater ideological force that my people fight against. You're a true believer in that position.

Muhammad Rasheed - Ken Krueger wrote: "And I'm tired of it."

This has no validity to me since a black teen was slaughtered by a racist cop and your folk are celebrating it. Your fake victim stance is actually offensive.

Hank Mansfield - (yawn)

Hank Mansfield - ^^^^ Hank Mansfield wrote:

Muhammad Rasheed - Is it boring you, Hank? Is that the reason for your burning desire to make your presence known? lol

Ken Krueger - I'll try again...and then I'm done. Your bigotry seems pretty pervasive, so I'll just leave you with the FACTS and you can deny them again.
As to your charges against me, I echo Hank.
Deeds over words...I'm doing what I can to make my country a better place. And I initially reached out to you, knowing we were on different ideological planes. That's how you make things better.

This is the final word on the matter, and I suggest you either read it, or just admit it doesn't matter to you:

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REPORT REGARDING THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE SHOOTING DEATH OF MICHAEL BROWN BY FERGUSON, MISSOURI POLICE OFFICER DARREN WILSON

Muhammad Rasheed - Again, I have zero respect for charges of bigotry from your demographic. Stop killing my folks.

Ken Krueger - Here's one more thing to think about.

The Making of Ferguson with Sherrilyn Ifill and Richard Rothstein

Muhammad Rasheed - lol

Muhammad Rasheed - To support what, Ken? Are you doing your Hank impression now? What is this link suppose to support from your side of our argument (an argument that won't actually begin until you address those spreadsheets)?

Hank Mansfield - Muhammad has, without s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g it out, been using critical race theory criteria to harass people.  Critical Race Theory

Muhammad Rasheed - Hank, you're on my Timeline. How am I harassing you?

Ken Krueger - Spreadsheets? I don't need no stinking spreadsheets.
And the video is germane to the genesis of the "Fergusoning of America".
It's from the NAACP, so you can trust it.

Muhammad Rasheed - I asked Ken to provide a link to his status and was attacked for it by his cronies. How was I harassing anyone?

Hank Mansfield - Muhammad Rasheed, the investigative reporter of note, has been editing out his own comments and insults.

Ken Krueger - In fact, I think you and your reader(s) will enjoy learning where the policies that screw African Americans come from.
It's safe to say that had certain White Supremacists not come to power, the conditions that gave rise to this and other tragedies may have been fully rectified by now.
But these people and their political backers saw to that. And it continues today.
So if you're not afraid to face history, the video, co-produced by the ACLU and NAACP will open your eyes.
It did mine...pissed me off, in fact!

Here it is again, to make it easier for you to learn something:

The Making of Ferguson with Sherrilyn Ifill and Richard Rothstein

Muhammad Rasheed - Ken Krueger wrote: “Spreadsheets? I don't need no stinking spreadsheets.”

I’ll interpret that as meaning you skimmed them, and saw that your reading comprehensive is crazy, and now you don’t want to play. A man has to know his limitations. I forgive you for your foolishness.

Ken Krueger wrote: “And the video is germane to the genesis of the “Fergusoning of America.’”

Whatever. Institutional racism is germane to the genesis of the Ferguson situation.

Ken Krueger wrote: “It's from the NAACP, so you can trust it.”

The NAACP was formed to nullify the vision of Booker T. Washington, whose doctrine I follow. I do NOT trust them. Please work harder at not being an asshole. You’re making that forgiveness thing very difficult for me.

Muhammad Rasheed - Hank Mansfield wrote: "Muhammad Rasheed, the investigative reporter of note, has been editing out his own comments and insults."

uhh... I haven't even posted the other parts of the thread yet, genius. lol

Muhammad Rasheed - Ken Krueger wrote: "So if you're not afraid to face history..."

Muhammad Rasheed - I'm more than happy to discus all of that in a different thread. One that I create myself of course, so that the discussion can remain for analysis for anyone who wishes to read it.

In this Note I'm more interested in exploring why your status post was so oddly different from what was actually expressed in the source material you used.

Muhammad Rasheed - And yet you keep posting the Holder team's report as if it implies you actually read it. Your status post itself implies you have a very real reading comprehension problem.

Ken Krueger - Again with the insults; the mark of a feeble mind; cartoonish, in fact.

Muhammad Rasheed - Funny, I consider your poor reading comprehension and blatant question ducking to be traits of a feeble mind.

I guess that makes us even.

Muhammad Rasheed - You have a lot of nerve to come challenge me on my turf, Ken Krueger, when the height of your intellectual capacity is to delete a thread because you are afraid of confrontation.

Muhammad Rasheed - Get your shit together. And learn how to understand what you read.

Muhammad Rasheed - And take that thing back with you.

Hank Mansfield - I'm your new best buddy  ;)

Muhammad Rasheed - dammit...   >:(

Ken Krueger - Your little charts are amusing, if only to offer insight into your thought process.
Sadly for a man who seems to have a lot of time on his hands, you're wrong on every point of fact.
Opinions are what they are.
The DOJ has cleared Wilson...period.
The "infestation" of racism is just a teensy bit of hyperbole, but I'm on record (should you care) as saying I've very happy the FPD, from which I've received a nuisance traffic citation myself, will be reformed.
Hopefully, some African Americans will apply and join the force.
As I've also said, CNN has consistently spread false information about Ferguson and Wilson.
I guess you missed that.
As to any thread you originate, I hope you don't edit context and content like you did above.
And while I'm flattered you've become so obsessed with me, I'm going to move along now.
I can't keep wasting time trying to correct you on facts you refuse to accept.
That doesn't mean they're not facts...but I'm sure it means something.
Enjoy your weekend, Muhammad. I hope some day you'll be able to overcome this crippling bigotry, but until you do, I'll remember you as the guy who called a woman, "racist hoe" and pretends to be something other than what he is.

 Muhammad Rasheed - Ken Krueger wrote: “Your little charts are amusing, if only to offer insight into your thought process. Sadly for a man who seems to have a lot of time on his hands, you're wrong on every point of fact.”

Explain how and let’s finally get this party started. How long you continue to fear that battle is a direct reflection of your intellect and confidence in your powers.

Muhammad Rasheed - Stop pretending to be smart, while being a chicken shit. Can you not see what that projects???

Muhammad Rasheed - Krueger wrote: “Opinions are what they are. The DOJ has cleared Wilson...period.”

“Period” is your racism showing. Explain HOW it cleared him. Did it clear him because it proved without a doubt that Wilson was innocent of the crime? That’s the only way it would be a “period.”

Muhammad Rasheed - Krueger wrote: “And while I'm flattered you've become so obsessed with me…”

Your simple ass is on MY Timeline. Apparently your mental issues go quite deeper than poor reading comprehension.

Krueger wrote: “I'm going to move along now.”

You’ve said that before above.

Krueger wrote: “I can't keep wasting time trying to correct you on facts you refuse to accept.”

Copy/paste an example of you actually trying to correct me with a fact.

Krueger wrote: “That doesn't mean they're not facts...but I'm sure it means something.”

What facts are you supposed to be referring to?

Krueger wrote: “Enjoy your weekend, Muhammad.”

Alas, my weekend is now over. Fridays are my Sat/Sun.

Krueger wrote: “I hope some day you'll be able to overcome this crippling bigotry…”

lol A small hope since racist jackasses like you will continue to stoke that fire.

Krueger wrote: “…but until you do, I'll remember you as the guy who called a woman, ‘racist hoe…’”

Patience. The other parts of that thread will be coming soon and what I actually said will be available to peruse. I suggest again you stand down with that stuff to possibly assuage your embarrassment.

Krueger wrote: “…and pretends to be something other than what he is.”

I’m a Black American cartoonist. What are you supposed to be?

Obama's Critics Disagree with Obama's Decisions

Chris Suess – [shared link]  Dear Leader helping his Hommies
Richard Sherman - I would like to say that this is unbelievable, but sadly, it IS believable.
Muhammad Rasheed - Peter Brookes wrote: "The president came under fire—again—for not calling the violent extremism we’re experiencing either 'Islamic' or 'Islamist,' even though that is what the conference seemed to be mostly about." 
He's being criticized by not labelling violent extremism as Islamic. That must be Israel's complaint.
Chris Suess - no one should really be surprised, he's not gonna rat out his hommies.
Muhammad Rasheed - He's not labelling it Islamic because it's not. The critics are being slimy.
Chris Suess - the Islamic State of Iran and Syria isn't Islamic?
that's retarded.
Richard Sherman - But you can bet that Muhammad would be quick to point out that those knucklehead nut jobs that protest funerals claim to be christians and would have no problem believing it to be true.
Chris Suess - actually they are democrats
Diane J. Thalheimer - the question is, do they themselves think they are islamic?
Muhammad Rasheed - No, the actual question is if "violent extremism" is Islamic, not the state, not the state religion.
Are everyone of you also slimy, or genuinely slow of mind?
Muhammad Rasheed - What is wrong with you three?
Chris Suess - We refuse to bow to political correctness?
Muhammad Rasheed - That's a really shitty answer. 
It was a rhetorical question anyway.
Muhammad Rasheed - Richard Sherman wrote: "But you can bet that Muhammad would be quick to point out that those knucklehead nut jobs that protest funerals claim to be christians and would have no problem believing it to be true."
You would lose that bet. I know more about Christianity than you three will ever care to know about Al-Islam. I would NEVER be so stupid as to equate violent extremist actions of professed Christians with the faith itself.
Only jackasses do that. Routinely.
Diane J. Thalheimer - I am not sure why you are calling me slimy, my question was purposeful. I wasn't being coy or ignorant or any othe adjective. I wan't talking politics or theories. Does it matter what any other person thinks the terrorists are, if they themselves think they are Islamic? Truthfully, some of these "lone wolves" I do not believe are anything, just use the fact that there are Islamic terrorist as a cover to act out their evilness.
Muhammad Rasheed - Diane J. Thalheimer wrote: “I am not sure why you are calling me slimy…”
Deliberate, willful attempts to slander other people while ignoring reason and any amount of effort to understand parallel behaviors between different groups because you prefer to slander other people to make yourself feel good is fundamentally slimy behavior.   
Diane J. Thalheimer wrote: “Does it matter what any other person thinks the terrorists are, if they themselves think they are Islamic?”
It matters when folk like you are being very vocal about attacking other Muslims because of what you falsely think.  If I decided that all white Americans in past decades who did horrible things to people did so precisely because they were Christian, and the people who thought like that had the ability to influence national policy and start an international war machine, do YOU think it would matter?
 Diane J. Thalheimer wrote: “Truthfully, some of these ‘lone wolves’ I do not believe are anything, just use the fact that there are Islamic terrorist as a cover to act out their evilness.”
How is ISIS a “lone wolf” when they work as a group?  That’s the opposite of ‘lone wolf.’
Chris Suess - to willfully slander Diane and assume that she is doing it to make her self feel better is pretty cunty on your part.
Diane J. Thalheimer - I am not slandering anyone, I am not attacking anyone, I had a simple question and I wasn't trying to feel good about anything. I am not sure what a "folks like you" is unless you are lumping anyone who does not think exactly like you as a "folks like you" And I am not sure why you are so angry. My assumption is nothing. My thinking is very simple. I had no comment to make about Islam itself. My question, in more words than it is worth was simply what does it matter what anyone else thinks, if that particualr terrorists thinks they are Islamic. That doesn't mean they are true followers of Islam, it is what they choose to think. As to my "lone wolves" comment, I am not very sophisticated, I have even been called stupid, a rube, hick, redneck, etc. Simple thinking does not mean ignorant. Islam, or better yet, Islamic terrorist is a hot button in the world today, it stops all sorts of people in their tracks. My comment is exactly what I said, there are evil people out there who do evil things under the guise of Islam, or Islamic terrorists, only because it gives them the attention they crave. Tomorrow they will call themselves the catch phrase of the day, but the truth of the matter is they are just evil people committing evils acts with no true attachment to anything.
Muhammad Rasheed - Chris Suess wrote: "to willfully slander Diane and assume that she is doing it to make her self feel better is pretty cunty on your part."
It's pretty slimy for her to keep doing it, and for you to support her in doing it. 
Knock it off.
Chris Suess - Make me.
Muhammad Rasheed - Diane j. Thalheimer wrote: "That doesn't mean they are true followers of Islam, it is what they choose to think."
I wonder if Chris thinks it's "cunty" that Diane is assuming she knows what someone else thinks, or if he's going to elect to ride that hypocrisy train all the way to the station?
Muhammad Rasheed - Chris Suess wrote: "Make me."
[rolls eyes]
Muhammad Rasheed - What are you? 8?
Chris Suess - I think she is just giving them the benefit of the doubt... IE she is saying that not all followers of Islam are enemies of the world. But apparently it is OK for YOU to assume you know what people are thinking.
And apparently YOU think I am eight, and apparently my father.
I'm just letting you know that you aren't man enough to be my father. Or man enough to make me do anything.
Muhammad Rasheed - I think you aren't man enough to pursue truth or demonstrate integrity.
Muhammad Rasheed - That's the extent of my opinion on that. No need to guess.
Chris Suess - and some how that doesn't mean a fucking thing to me what you think about my integrity or my pursuit of the truth
Muhammad Rasheed - Chris Suess wrote: “I think she is just giving them the benefit of the doubt... IE she is saying that not all followers of Islam are enemies of the world. But apparently it is OK for YOU to assume you know what people are thinking.”
She typed in black & white on a public social media forum what she thinks about “islamicists.” You don’t have to make up nonsense to support her.
Chris Suess wrote: “And apparently YOU think I am eight…”
The evidence does strongly suggest this.
Chris Suess wrote: “…and apparently my father.”
You wouldn’t be allowed on the Internet at eight if I was your father.
Chris Suess wrote: “and some how that doesn't mean a fucking thing to me what you think about my integrity or my pursuit of the truth”
Since you equally demonstrate a compete hatred for integrity and truth I am unsurprised by this.
Chris Suess - you presume that you are the holy holder of the truth, which is a false assumption.
Muhammad Rasheed - Diane J. Thalheimer wrote: “I am not slandering anyone, I am not attacking anyone, I had a simple question and I wasn't trying to feel good about anything.

This stupid thread made me angry, and reading the same old nonsense. I grouped you in it because it read like you were Amening that same old nonsense with a flip question. It’s very difficult to accept comments like that at face value, in this political climate, on a thread by this poster, in a group of these particular posters, from this demographic. Ones I’ve butted heads with over similar issues many times before. 
Diane J. Thalheimer wrote: “My assumption is nothing. My thinking is very simple. I had no comment to make about Islam itself.”
Isolated by itself you would have a point. Grouped in with previous discussions over opposing ideological views, not so much. 
Diane J. Thalheimer wrote: “My question, in more words than it is worth was simply what does it matter what anyone else thinks, if that particualr terrorists thinks they are Islamic.”
When the holy book of Islam states XYZ, but this person who you claim (based on what?) performs his violent extremism precisely because he’s “Islamic,” and an innocent person is killed because of this, why wouldn’t it matter? If he was only spewing empty rhetoric on Facebook then it wouldn’t matter. While doing whatever he and his ilk do in the world, sowing mischief in the land, it matters a great deal. 
Diane J. Thalheimer wrote: “That doesn't mean they are true followers of Islam, it is what they choose to think.

People do evil things for numerous reasons, and MOST people in the world are religious in some form or fashion. Continuously linking a particular demographics’ actions to the regional religion when 1.) most of the people of that faith don’t behave that way 2.) Islam, Christianity & Judaism practitioners lived among each other in peace for many centuries at a time without incident, except for a few events that were 100% political in nature, NOT religious, comes across as incredibly slimy and a deliberate attempt to slander the faith.
Muhammad Rasheed - Chris Suess wrote: "you presume that you are the holy holder of the truth, which is a false assumption."
lol I hold truth on certain items because I can read, I don't reject the facts that support those truths because I hate black American presidents, or whatever else is the source of your own particular slime.
Chris Suess - Just because you can read, does not mean you are reading the Truth.
I don't hate the President because one of his parents was black. 
I hate his commie thoughts and how he thinks he is a king. Just like I hated Bush for his outrageous spending and other piss poor policies.

I know the religion of Islam, Chris. I know what I am allowed to do and what I am not allowed based on what God said, and what God’s prophet supported because of his basic mission. I am a scholar of the Abrahamic religion of Al-Islam, and I don’t get my understanding of the sacred text of my faith from the political talking points branded about by anti-Islam news-like programs, and their shitty affiliates, that don’t give a flying crap about the message of those texts, and don’t have a problem simply making up bullshit to punch up their ratings from their oh, so easily brain-washed fans. 
Chris Suess wrote: “I don't hate the President because one of his parents was black.”
Perhaps. I think you believe he holds certain opinions about how to perform his job precisely because of the race/ethnic group he chooses to identify with, and you hate those opinions. This amounts to much the same thing in practice. 
Chris Suess wrote: “I hate his commie thoughts and how he thinks he is a king.”
President Obama performs in his job at the limits that the job allows. He doesn’t “think he is a king,” he functions like a leader with vision committed to getting items accomplished that he promised the voters who elected him he WOULD get accomplished. He didn’t allow political and ideological opponents to stop him from doing the job he was elected to do. This is the attitude I look for and respect in everybody in every chain of command I have. 
President Obama believes that a strong middle class is the secret to a strong America, and the facts of American history support this opinion. He has fought against and attacked corporations from setting up new monopolies within existing free markets which is the opposite of “commie” thinking. 
Everything you think about this topic is wrong or twisted in a crazy angle, and I fully expect you to double down on it and believe it even more until the president is an unrecognizable monster in your eyes. 
And this makes me very angry to read.
Muhammad Rasheed - I think you think this way because you surround yourself with people that prefer to think this way, and you are afraid to look at this stuff any different. You're afraid to pursue truth, and jump back from facts that disrupt this crazy worldview you hold as if they will singe your skin.
Chris Suess - sure, you got it all figured out Muhammad...

Muhammad Rasheed - lol

No, I'm just speculating, and trying to draw you into a spirited discussion.

Muhammad Rasheed - Did it work? Are you typing your spirited response?
Richard Sherman - Damn it, Chris- you bit! Muhammad does this shit- trolls along and grabs at people's threads to start shit with them so he can post it, heavily edited, on his ridiculous wall, to show other people who are asleep, sleeping, about to fall asleep or simply unconscious, that he is a clever dude with semi-clever answers to people; a modern day Abraham Lincoln, here to free the unencumbered from their sloth, envy, greed and wrong thinking. He is the Kuwaiti/North Carolinian answer to Bill O'Reilly- pithy, bombastic and an accomplished bloviate. Don't engage him. It will make you itch for about a week.But make sure you check his wall to see that he's done this, and how much he has edited it. You'll see.
Muhammad Rasheed - Richard Sherman wrote: "...heavily edited..."
That's a lie. And you are a shitbag. Take a bow.
Muhammad Rasheed - I have plenty of old exchanges between me and Chris in my FB Note folio. Some even include his goofy brother. He's seen them. His only complaint was that it took too long to post the last few lines of a discussion because he was rushing me.
The "heavily edited" comment is your Official Slimeball Badge, Sherman.
Muhammad Rasheed - btw you are directly responsible for why I save my Internet discussions now. You had a very fun 'Righteousness' thread going, back in March '14, where a bunch of folk were answering your intriguing religious/spiritual questions from the standpoint of their faiths. I contributed as a Muslim representative, a Christian or two chimed in, and a couple of rabbis. It wasn't an argument, just a sharing of our views based on our understanding of scripture.
And the next morning it vanished.  
You know you deleted it on purpose. Naturally I think one of your friends told you to. 
Muhammad Rasheed - Ask me why I think you all had the thread deleted, Richard. 
Muhammad Rasheed - Ask me. 
Muhammad Rasheed –

Richard Sherman - As usual, I have no idea what you're talking about. Sounds like some sort of half-assed astronaut language. IF you have some posting, please post it. If not, please refrain from babbling. 
Muhammad Rasheed - OMIGOSH YOU BIT! 
Muhammad Rasheed - Curiosity killed the cat, you know? #trueStory 
Richard Sherman - Apparently, you have no thread to post, so it's just you, talking again. Later, dude. 
Muhammad Rasheed - You seem to be confused as to how typing posts on Facebook actually functions. 
I suggest you keep an eye on my upcoming response so you may feel free to counter. It's now time to build the Note. 
Richard Sherman - Make sure you edit the hell out of it. 
Muhammad Rasheed - *shrug* 
My Notes are quite public for all to see. The readership can make that determination for themselves. 
Muhammad Rasheed - Naturally I wouldn't suggest they take your word for it. That would not be wise. 
It would serve me not at all to edit the responses of my opponents and debate partners. I need to be able to go back and study the responses raw, that I may accurately analyze the mentality behind the things you all say. I need for all the world to see what you all reveal as your core beliefs on the different items of interest to me. 
Muhammad Rasheed - Richard Sherman wrote: “As usual, I have no idea what you're talking about.”  
Well, allow me to remind you. You started a thread on March 25, 2014 in which you asked the religious believers certain intermediate to advanced level questions about faith/religion in what seemed a genuine appeal to understand. As I said above, several people contributed, and it wasn’t an argument or fight at all. We were all just sharing our understanding of scripture with you in the answering. Sometimes I would respond to one of the other posters’ comments and also provide my understanding of scripture to add onto what they were saying, and occasionally to correct. I was encouraged in this by receiving several ‘Likes’ and typed responses agreeing with me, notably from the rabbis. The only pushback I ever received in that thread (one that you refer to as “the Righteousness thread”) came from you.  
I had a LOT of fun in that thread because I was literally instructing the doctors of the Law in their own scripture – and they were agreeing with me! – based purely on my understanding of what Allah said about the children of Israel in the Qur’an. Personally this was one of those moments in my life that was quite faith-confirming, and let me know in no uncertain terms that my most important spiritual decisions have been the correct ones (and why Chris’ comment above about me not holding any actual truth is comical at best).  
In the end you asked a very potent question as to why the believers didn’t need to do animal sacrifices any more when the OT was full of those mentions, and why they were done in the first place. The Christians of course proclaimed that their crucifixion event was the replacement, and why this practice was no longer required by God. I think it was one of the rabbis who said some theologians/scholars lifted it from the people with some doctrine or another, perhaps during the time of the Second Temple. I pointed out that as a Muslim, animal sacrifice is still required of me, and it is one of the mandatory rituals during the Hajj, and I MUST do this before I die. The last of God’s anointed prophet-messengers still had the believers doing it, and if I have to do it, the children of Israel DEFINITELY still have to do it. No messenger descendant of Isaac lifted that requirement from them. I then said that the Qur’an never mentions the ‘why’ behind the purpose of the blood sacrifice, and suggested that perhaps that ancient knowledge is with the rabbis present. I then signed off, looking forward to the next responses, and your next questions. I never saw that thread again. 
Someone decided to get offended, maybe because I had taken over the thread and my responses dominated it, even though it never, ever ceased being a friendly discussion with a pleasant learning environment feel. And now it’s gone. 
A pity. 
Chris Suess - could you take this circle jerk somewhere else? this has zero to do with the article.

Slimy Residue from the 'Peculiar Institution'

Notes While Observing...

1.) "Carrie is based on a composite of two girls Stephen King observed while attending grade school and high school.
'She was a very peculiar girl who came from a very peculiar family. Her mother wasn't a religious nut like the mother in Carrie; she was a game nut, a sweepstakes nut who subscribed to magazines for people who entered contests … the girl had one change of clothes for the entire school year, and all the other kids made fun of her. I have a very clear memory of the day she came to school with a new outfit she'd bought herself. She was a plain-looking country girl, but she'd changed the black skirt and white blouse – which was all anybody had ever seen her in – for a bright-colored checkered blouse with puffed sleeves and a skirt that was fashionable at the time. And everybody made worse fun of her because nobody wanted to see her change the mold.' ~Stephen King, On Writing"
Muhammad Rasheed - Because that's how people are. It's easier to be an asshole, so more people are assholes than not. The myth is that people are "good deep down," but that's not true; good and bad are opposing temptations, and neither rule by default. You have to deliberately choose one or the other. People are neutral by nature – the thinking animal. Water flows down the path with the least resistance, as do our behaviors, and it is definitely easier to be an asshole than not. That's why people can falsely link "violent extremism" to Islam, but be appalled and confused when you point out the hypocrisy that they can't see in their own practitioners who perform violent extremism.
2.) “Barbra Streisand portrays Yentl Mendel, a girl living in an Ashkenazi shtetl named Pechev in Poland in the early 20th century. Yentl's father, Rebbe Mendel, secretly instructs her in the Talmud despite the proscription of such study by women according to the custom of her community.”
Muhammad Rasheed - Notice that these writers don’t have a problem separating “custom of the community” from the tenets of religion, but you can bet that those same folk will insist that the exact same parallels in Islamic countries come from the religion itself. I’ll advise you NOT to take that bet since the described phenomenon is currently going on in another thread. It’s easier for people to be assholes and enthusiastically hold onto their pet hypocrisies.
3.) “Yentl begins with the same premise as Singer's original story. Streisand's character finds herself born into the wrong gender, a woman with the ‘soul of a man.’ Her talent, curiosity and ambition are considered strictly masculine by her society and religious tradition. Unwilling to live with the drudgery of life as a woman, Yentl leaves her home and conceals her gender to be able to pursue the scholarly occupation of a Jewish man. In doing so, Yentl inadvertently embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will defy simple definition and transcend traditional notions of gender and sexual identity.”
Muhammad Rasheed - The “with the soul of a man” item is obvious clap-trap… or it should be obvious rather. The real problem from a common sense standpoint is that's how “woman” is defined in a narrow-minded manner and society is pressured to accept that as their “normal.” It should be clear that this has nothing to do with biology in context.
4.) "Often Jewish-American immigrants who struck out on their own were unable to dedicate the amount of time and energy into text study that their ancestors had."
Muhammad Rasheed - Why? Because they physically, economically couldn't, or because they no longer wanted to?

Bullseye in Real Life

Muhammad Rasheed - [shared photo]  This is Bullseye.  He'll kill you as soon as look at you.  He's one of my very favourite villains, and this image below is scanned from the now classic Daredevil #181 issue when Frank Miller had him kill Elektra with her own sai.  

Here he is in prison doing his personal workout.  The pose blew my mind as a teenager, considering Bullseye is supposed to be a "normal human" by Marvel Comics standards.  As a fan of The Official Handbook of the MARVEL UNIVERSE series, it went a long way towards explaining exactly what Marvel writers meant when they described a character as having "the normal strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise."  In my mind, Frank Miller was the king of street-level costumed characters who demonstrated what "intensive regular exercise" could actually do, and what it was supposed to look like.  
One day, sometime in the late '90s, I had a phone conversation with an old friend in which we swapped descriptions of our favourite speculative fiction properties.  This friend happened to be a "street-level"fighter character in real life, with a background in pro wrestling, bouncing, and many years of traditional martial arts training, so I was genuinely surprised he wasn't well-versed in Frank Miller's Daredevil run.   I remember being quite pleased that I would have the pleasure of telling him about those stories to get him hooked on them, but when I told him about this particular Bullseye workout pose, he sniffed and dismissed it.  Confused, I thought I just wasn't describing it right, but no, he thought it was stupid, and said it was impossible for someone to be able to do something like that, and it proved Miller was actually a shit writer.
lol  I'll admit my feelings were hurt from this blatant insult to one of my favourite creators, and that phone conversation has never been far from any fond thoughts of these wonderful stories, much to my irritation.  
And then one day I came across THIS:

Hannibal For King
  ...and then THIS:

Street Workout World Cup Final

...and THIS:


Parkour

...and you now cannot tell me that what Bullseye performed was impossible.  There's no way these guys CAN'T do what Miller drew.   In fact, other than his fighting ability, it looks like these dudes could give the character some workout pointers!  That's what "intensive regular exercise" on the superhero level really looks like, and it is real. 
There's nothing wrong with a healthy skepticism, but a skepticism that is based only on a small-minded mentality and zero facts is worthless.  What purpose does it serve but to only attempt to make the world less magnificent than it actually is?

A Monarchy? No Thanks.

Just Ceakou  - [shared photo] HAHAHA (for the parts I did read - kinda long - FB is being a time vampire right now)

The Message in its entirety  
Muhammad Rasheed - "From the queen?"
I don't have a damn queen.  >:(
Just Ceakou - That's what's funny about it. No? 
Muhammad Rasheed - Yes, I found the idea of a powerless, puppet figurehead thinking she's going to order me around when "the colonies" have the most devastatingly, genocidal, powerful military in the world pretty funny.
Muhammad Rasheed - lol
Actually the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear mentions of "royalty/king/queen/prince/princess" was when God told the children of Israel that they didn't need a king, in response to their whining for one. He told them to just do as He commanded and they would be all right.
Consequently, I don't get all warm & fuzzy over queens. So she can go sit down somewhere (joke or not).
Muhammad Rasheed - The late Sir Henry Cooper used to rant about how he was a "royalist," and expressed disdain at our own "elected common citizen" system. So if God said "the divine right to rule" of a human was nonsense, but Cooper doubled down on his support of that nonsense...
...that sounds like he supported a form of paganism.

Dina Johnstone Brophy - Lol!

Just Ceakou - Dude, you are so deep. I appreciate that.

I posted this because this parody made me laugh.

Muhammad Rasheed - I know. I read it about a year ago and was amused. This time around it triggered the rant. lol

Just Ceakou - Believe me the support and promotion of imperialism and genocide is no laughing matter. I feel you!

Looking Back with Regret

TracieMai Marshall – [shares link]

Mike Tyson Says He Wished He Could Fight Mayweather
Efrain Aviles - everybody needs the money
Eddie Xmith - No contest.Nobody could beat Iron Mike in his prime.No Body
Muhammad Rasheed - Did you get past Holyfield and Lewis?
Then shaddap. Mayweather would've run circles around you.
Eddie Xmith - He fought neither of them in his physical and mental prime.
Muhammad Rasheed - ...and he wished he could've fought him for what? For the payday? Why doesn’t he just make more movies and hush?
Mike abandoned boxing during the peak of his popularity, and destroyed a potential excellent legacy. I don't want to hear that nonsense from him now.
Muhammad Rasheed - Eddie Xmith wrote: "He fought neither of them in his physical and mental prime." 
That's the thing: Tyson's head was his biggest weakness. He had the talent and skills and threw them away because he was unable to focus. In the end he proved that he didn't have the heart of a champion. That's why he's talking this way now, because he looks at Mayweather carefully crafting his own legacy in the sport, and he's jealous.
Muhammad Rasheed - Don't look back with regret now, Mike. Those days are gone. Look forward and do something different now. Continue to develop those relationships with Hollywood. They love you over there.

Eddie Xmith - @Muhammad... I will conceed. You are 100% correct in your account.  Tyson failed. He worn the belt but failed to be a champion.  And his greatest weakness was that of his charactor.

Violent Hatred & Angry Hate Rhetoric are Not Equal

Muhammad Rasheed – [shared link]



KKK Was Terrorizing America Decades Before Islamic State Appeared

"There are racists who equate the KKK with the Black Panthers. Show me any photos of the Panthers having a picnic and smiling while a white man is lynched, burned, castrated and beheaded. Terrorism is as American as apple pie." ~ Andre Owens

Derek Mason - Original REAL Black Panthers and the KKK are nothing aike. The New Black Panthers and KKK share the same philosophies of hate though

Muhammad Rasheed - But who did they lynch & oppress? If all these groups were just talk then we wouldn't have any problems.

Empty rhetoric means NOTHING.

Derek Mason - Oh yeah no doubt. New Panthers talk a good game, but they are about as dangerous as a militant troop of boy scouts. Had former memebrs tell me that they don't even have ammo in their guns. Just a bunch of rhetoric

Muhammad Rasheed - Exactly.

But the true racist want to act like the BP are every bit the exact same as the KKK ever was. NO white men were hanging from trees like peculiar fruit by any BP folk.

Scooter Alvarez - Reiterating:
"But who did they lynch & oppress? If all these groups were just talk then we wouldn't have any problems.  Empty rhetoric means NOTHING."

Derek Mason - No, the only damage the rhetoric the NBPP does is to the legacy and credibility of the Real BPP. I know they didn't lynch or hang anybody.

Scooter Alvarez - Huh? How is the NBPP on equal footing with an organization hundreds of years old with thousands of bodies under its belt?



Derek Mason - Who said they were on equal footing ?



Muhammad Rasheed - Derek Mason wrote: "No, the only damage the rhetoric the NBPP does is to the legacy and credibility of the Real BPP."

The new guys are no more damaging to the real BP's legacy than these Arab militants are to the legacy of Ancient Egypt. If the chronically stupid want to believe they are the same group then let them. The stupid will always be among us, Derek. No rational argument is designed for the poor of mind.

Scooter Alvarez - "The New Black Panthers and KKK share the same philosophies of hate though"

Derek Mason - Same philosophies, not activities

Scooter Alvarez - Arguing for the sake of arguing...  Night

Derek Mason - Dude you were the one who misread what I was saying, chill with that shit bro. "

Derek Mason - Bpp chairman Bobby Seale once stated a lot of his speaking tours were cancelled because people thought the BPP and NPP were the same group

Scooter Alvarez - What does that have to do with the OP?

Derek Mason - sigh, nothing " Scooter ". I have neither the time nor patience tonite.

Scooter Alvarez - Comparing the KKK with any black organization is asinine.
So what they have "similar philosophies of hate", the Klan has a background of violence that pales in comparison.

This is along the lines of telling people that all lives matter vs. black lives matter...

Muhammad Rasheed - Derek Mason wrote: "Bpp chairman Bobby Seale once stated a lot of his speaking tours were cancelled because people thought the BPP and NPP were the same group"

That means that they booked these people to come speak, but didn’t do any research into who they actually were to know the difference.

That’s stupid.

Scooter Alvarez - Why even bring up the NBPP? This isn't about them.

Derek Mason - G'day sir

Scooter Alvarez -


Derek Mason - No actually I'm quite happy. Friday night. Just got paid.

Derek Mason - I see you feeing some type of way though. Some type of way .Made you fee some type of waaaaaaay. Scooter. Say hello to Turbo and Leader -1 for me

Scooter Alvarez - I thought you left

Derek Mason - I did, but you called me back.

Scooter Alvarez - @Muhammad Rasheed… come get yo' people LOL

Erik J. Nielsen - Excellent job of pointing out the obvious, that so few people want to acknowledge. Thank you.

Muhammad Rasheed - Both of you are my people. lol

Derek Mason - I apologize . Wasn't trying to disrupt the line. I know racists are gonna think what they want to think. I was just saying how one group could mislead those already mislead by acting a way simiar to the KKK. Sorry Scooter, no beef bro.

Muhammad Rasheed - Stop calling Scooter a "bro," you reverse racist!

Muhammad Rasheed -


Dan DeLyon - No lynchings. Apparently prefer burning buildings. #Ferguson

Muhammad Rasheed - 1.) The new Black Panthers burned a building in Ferguson? Is that what you are saying?

2.) How many buildings burned in frustration equaled to one human life?

Jeremy Travis - The buildings burnt in Ferguson were set on fire by law enforcement provocateurs, that's why they were allowed to burn down completely without the firefighters being called to put them out. These people do devilish things and then point the finger at everyone... EVERYONE... else.

Mine had a bunch of white dudes in it.
Kirb Brimstone - "I WANT ONE!"

Muhammad Rasheed - Anyway, I'm going to finish this Timeline Cover for my new art page. In the meanwhile you can list the main bullet points for Ravi's thing for me. Thanks!
Muhammad Rasheed - I suspect you unfriended the 3 of us in a ferocious unfriending rage.
Kirb Brimstone - Nigga you're one shade lighter then me. You cast a whole lotta shades of black people into the dark skin category.
Kirb Brimstone - No. I don't do that.
Muhammad Rasheed - I'm speculating, of course. I can't pretend to understand the wild Floridian mind.
Kirb Brimstone - A-Rah unfriended me.
Muhammad Rasheed - No way. You gave him WAY too much material.
Kirb Brimstone - Travis (it's Travis right?) unfriended me.

For the People - The US Government Working as Intended

Muhammad Rasheed - The Libertarians famously are supposed to be for “limited government.” This is common knowledge. Classic GOP talking point doctrine is also supposed to support a “smaller, limited government.”

What does that mean exactly? It means that the government should be scaled back so that it is restricted to providing mostly its primary function: To enforce the law.

The people determine what is important to them, laws are drafted up that define those items, and the government enforces those rules. This is the heart of our successful civilization at work.

As an example, look at this “Internet Neutrality” item. It began when certain mega-corporations made an attempt to monopolize the Internet’s Free Market – a marketplace that had been working pretty well for everyone up to this point as free markets usually do – by trying to get their politician cronies to pass laws that would enable providers to determine what content became available, controlling which messages were accessed faster, etc., so they could become richer at everyone else's expense. The people said they didn’t want that at all, and the Federal Communications Commission agreed it was a major concern to protect the Internet Free Market, passing laws in the people’s behalf that would protect it from corporatist monopolies and cartels.

This action demonstrates a government that is working the way true American patriots claim they want their government to function, and what Libertarians and Republicans claim that they want. Any talk that you read or hear saying that the FCC’s ruling is a bad one (“Now they are going to take over the country! This is another step in a socialist take over! The government is secretly trying to monopolize the Internet for itself! Next they are coming for our guns!”), is coming from either your enemy, or a brainwashed slave of your enemy. There is no grey area here.
