    Posts 465 & 466 in this thread have the links - the Dems were just as rabid about taking their "blue states" and seceding from "JesusLand" when GWB won reelection, they seem to forget their hypocrisy in mocking the "red states" who are making the same idiotic statements today.
    Actually your 2 links are reports on the same story--Lawrence O'Donnell on McLaughlin. The one quotes Bob Beckel saying he thinks the south should secede.

    You don't see this as false equivalency?

    Yet another who ignores the hypocrisy.

    Are you that much of an Obama-ite that you cannot see that the OP started a thread to mock the right in their secession promotions, yet the left did the exact same thing in 2004 and you want to ignore it?

    Wow, just wow.

    The left did exactly the same thing? Petitions? Enlighten me. You linked to 2 reports of the one reporter saying the same thing. So not to put too fine a point on it, that would be promotion--singular, not promotions.

    Perhaps my threshold of "exactly" is a wee bit higher than yours? Yeah, that's the ticket.

    Yeah, you're right, no one on the left thought it was a good idea to secede when George Bush was reelected, we all imagined it.



    Jeez, the hypocrisy is bordering in lunacy!

    and this is an absolute lie....not surprised.....I lived in a blue state and there was zero talk of wanting to secede...how about you provide some proof of your assertion.....

    the links you think support your lie are spoken by 2 political commentators who have absolutely ZERO to do with any decision making process....

    not even an honest try...just more of the bovine excrement you manufacture every day,,,,

    Find me one state today - one - that is trying to secede.

    Just one.

    Just as it was in 2004, the only people talking about seceding are a few wack nuts - back then it was wack nut Dems, today it is wack nut Repubs.

    There is no difference.

    No state has asked to secede today. Not one.

    You are trying to ignore the obvious comparison - a group of upset losers in 2004 bandied about the idea of secession, the EXACT same thing that is happening now.

    To not recognize it or to brush it aside because of the link I chose (if I found 100 other links that PROVE there were Dems talking about it, would that suffice your little brain?) is just fear of admitting your hypocrisy.

    The facts - there were sore losers in the Democrat Party in 2004 who spoke about the idea of secession, and there were sore losers in the Republican Party in 2012 who did the same thing.

    Take of your Obama-ite glasses and open your eyes.

    Of course. Lawrence ODonnell and Bob Beckel.

    You need a link, or are you too high to type tonight?

    On November 5, 2004, MSNBC's O' Donnell appeared on a panel hosted by the McLaughlin Group and said a "serious discussion on secession" would begin shortly after President Bush's re-election and last for 20 years.

    This segment was filmed just three days after the 2004 Presidential Elections.

    Beg to differ. And gaining speed....

    ....and the best part....wait for it....LOL....

    "Texas is not only leading with signatures, it is the only state whose governor has actually pondered the idea of seceding from the United States of America."

    Don't mess with Texas. Lots of nut-jobs in Texas. Let 'em join Mexico! Gives new meaning to tex-mex food.

    Your father laid his life on the line to earn that GI Bill.

    That part about your father is the only part of your post that I believe, anyway, and in order for it to matter that you think that I fail, I would have to care, and I don't.

    Lest we forget there was also an outcry by the left to abolish the electoral college after the 2000 election results. And I am still waiting for Cher, Barbra Streisand and Alec Baldwin to leave the country as they promised they would if George W. Bush ever got elected.

    You also need him to send his service records to you so that you can comb through them to verify that this is true.

    Nobody ever lies on the internet. Slapshot told me that so I know that it must be true.

    This is precious, apparently the Texas secession is "picking up steam."

    http://www.alan.com/2012/11/24/texas...icks-up-steam/
    Enough Texans have signed a petition to secede that the White House must issue a response.

    Larry Scott Kilgore, a perennial Republican candidate from Arlington, a Dallas suburb, said he was running for governor in 2014 and would legally change his name to Larry Secede Kilgore, with Secede in capital letters. As his Web page, secedekilgore.com, puts it: “Secession! All other issues can be dealt with later.”
    I managed to watch the whole thing. A warning to anyone else who attempts this feat, it starts with "Howdy y'all" and still manages to get dumber from there.

    Quite frankly, an independent Texas would be a third world country within a week.

    Very interesting. The libtards are perfectly happy with 12 million illegal aliens living in these states, many who are enjoying government benefits courtesy of taxpaying citizens, and yet they want to eject about a hundred thousand legal Texas residents for signing the petition? Sounds like some people in Austin really want to live in old Mexico, pure and simple.

    Bye Texas. I doubt you'll be missed very much.
