PFT: And do tell, what does Fred imagine would qualify the left’s “damaging the constitution” taking? Maybe restoring habeas corpus and other things that Bush took away? A Supreme court decision he dislikes?
VVV: I’m not Fred, so I’m not going to bother speaking for him.

In other words, you’d really rather not say because it wouldn’t make either you or Fred look very good.

VVV: I think it is pretty clear that there are people, myself included, who are reacting to the specific ideas coming under the rubric of “the Ayers Revolution”, as the title of the thread suggests.

Well, your main bone of contention with Ayers as described in this interview is plainly not that he wanted to round up, imprison and murder lots and lots of Americans because of their politics, but that you guys feel he wanted to round up, imprison, and murder the WRONG Americans because of their politics.

VVV: Attempts to turn the country into a version of Venezuela (a country Ayers is known to admire), for example, would legitimately be resisted by any means up to and including violence.

And what would qualify as an “attempt to turn the country into a version of Venezuela? Someone else has already cited obeying UN rules and bringing back the Fairness Doctrine.

VVV: If you don’t understand that distinction, you better get yourself some history books and learn the difference because that tiger you’ve got by the tail isn’t going to stay under your control for long.

I’m quite familiar with history (and James Joyce) thank you. That’s why I’m asking you and other eager apologists for this proposed upcoming military coup specific questions.
