White liberal wearing a monkey mask throwing egg at a black conservative. Nothing to see here. There is that liberal tolerance I'm always hearing about.

Just imagine a black democratic governor candidate with the same attacker.

It’s the top story in the world for several days…it would be the most talked about story in the country for multiple weeks and would dominate print media and social media. Hashtags, marches, etc

This isn’t right no matter who is running.

Today’s media is the enemy of the people period. Liberals cowardness to ignore the story is predictable as ever

Might have?

The link has a PDF. Doubt anyone will read it. But what the hell. It's written towards giving me secular arguments to share with others.

Key part about life begging at conception:

At the moment when a human sperm penetrates a human ovum, or egg, generally in the upper portion of the Fallopian Tube, a new entity comes into existence. “Zygote” is the name of the first cell formed at conception, the earliest developmental stage of the human embryo, followed by the “Morula” and “Blastocyst” stages.

Is it human? Is it alive? Is it just a cell or is it an actual organism, a “being?” These are logical questions.

The zygote is composed of human DNA and other human molecules, so its nature is undeniably human and not some other species.This DNA includes a complete “design,” guiding not only early development but even hereditary attributes that will appear in childhood and adulthood, from hair, sex, and eye color to personality traits.

It is also quite clear that the earliest human embryo is biologically alive. It fulfills the four criteria needed to establish biological life: metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction. Finally, is the human zygote merely a new kind of cell or is it a human organism; that is, a human being? Scientists define an organism as a
complex structure of interdependent elements constituted to carry on the activities of life by separately-functioning but mutually dependent organs.

The human zygote meets this definition with ease. Once formed, it initiates a complex sequence of events to ready it for continued development and growth: The zygote acts immediately and decisively to initiate a program of development that will, if uninterrupted by accident, disease, or external intervention, proceed seamlessly through formation of the definitive body, birth, childhood, adolescence, maturity, and aging,
ending with death. This coordinated behavior is the very hallmark of an organism.

By contrast, while a mere collection of human cells may carry on the activities of cellular life, it will not exhibit coordinated interactions directed towards a higher level of organization.

My note - All this being said on both sides, I'm sure not 1 person here has changed their mind 1% on either side. Standard Warpath political argument procedure. Go Tampa![/quote]

First I love how you put actual scientific terms of development stages in quotations. That made me laugh.

I think you know where I stand on a woman's right to choose. I do share your opinion that an embryo, even if it is pretty much a mass of undifferentiated cells is living, it is biological after all. Personally I find abortion to be heinous and I feel sorry for anyone that has made or has to make that decision it cannot be easy.

To me I just don't see how restricting it resolves the issue. We have one of the highest abortion rates of all developed countries and this is despite other countries having far less restrictive abortion laws. To me it is a healthcare issue we have such shitty access to family planning and birth control in this country that there are developing countries with far better reproductive infrastructure than we do (I'm looking at you Thailand). If we really want to have a significant decrease in abortion that is what we would be addressing, but we don't and thus here we are.

That is a label given to us by conservatives. I have never said I am tolerant and I am certainly not tolerant of stupidity (not referring to you btw). Regardless of who stupidity is voting for.

I would like to take credit for that. But I just copied and pasted from the PDF.

Another thing to add to your points, the adoption process is ridiculous both in time and money to get approved. That's another process (much like legal immigration) that needs to be streamlined. It would be helpful if people that were pregnant could be put face to face with future parents that would want to adopt your baby before any decisions are made.

I'm all for spending all resources available (not including making laws against it) on ways to reduce the number of abortions in this country. I can't think of a more worthy cause to spend resources on.

You're all over the place with this. First with imaginary scenarios and ending with blaming all of us for ignoring the story?

Oh god the humanity! Won't the egg-throwing ever stop! Where do we draw the line? I haven't seen such sick indifference to human life since Saw 4!

;) Happy now?

I think the main point of this is the hypocrisy of the media and other institutions. If Elder had been a Dem there would have been stories plastered all over the Media (it would have been a major topic for the Sunday shows) and almost certainly the woman would have been charged with a hate crime by California or even the US AG. The message delivered by the left here is it actually is ok to be racist as long as you target the right people.

That's a big conclusion to make based off whose (our?) indifference to some dumbass lady throwing an egg at a politician.

Maybe we would speak up more about what a terrible act it was if it would make a difference. But it won't, next event where a dem does some dumb shit you guys are still going to jump all over it like we approve of it even if we don't.

Two can play this game too.

"Nutjob conservative shoots couple, killing one, because they endorsed Biden."

Based off the lack of outcry from conservatives everywhere I have come to the conclusion conservatives endorse this man's actions.
