While I'm sure you would absolutely LOVE it if I did ban you, I'm not going to. You can find someone else to feed your massive martyr complex.

My problems come with your being able to dish it out, but not take it in a thread titled "Have some fun in here". You can make your self satisfied "Republicans are Nazis" posts, but you get your panties into a massive bunch when someone makes a post that you disagree with.

Chance absolutely NAILED you in this post.

Ban is criticized for not taking it all in fun, after others post cartoons that are purportedly represent inaccurate information. If any one of us are at a party, and someone tells a blatantly racist joke (a form of misinformation) and others laugh, should we also laugh for fear of not taking it all in fun?

I disagree with Ban equating the Republican party with fascism, for that it is no more accurate than the (many) who equate the Democratic party with socialism. However, (borrowing from Chance's definition of fascism), America does have ultranationalists and racists within its borders and one wonders what (if any) change in circumstances would lead to a sudden growth in extreme right-wing movements more akin to fascism. Europe has had to deal with similar movements (e.g. skinheads) for years.
