Guess that is why no one showed up at my house.

I was actually hoping they would. I was hoping for a minority to show up so I could give them a history lesson about Ms. Sanger and a few quotes from her.

But that’s just me. :-)

One of those “Organizing for America” O-bots showed up at a community yard sale in Williamsburg, VA Saturday. I don’t think she had any takers, though (thank God).

I think that is why the thread is slow thus far. If the quote was in the headline, this one would be off the chart.

Lots of pings, but not alot of traffic thus far.

Should I re-post this article with the quote?

I live in rural West Tennessee. We have Republicans, Dixiecrats and African-Americans who talk like peckerwoods. In the cities, of course, it is more polarized.

Thanks. Actually, my question was more a rant directed at the Birmingham News. I am amazed they didn’t put that in the headline. Imagine a conservative grassroots group saying something like that.

How about this headline: Obama volunteer: Fight Will Come 'When We Have an Army' ?

I thought about using that quote in the title of the article I posted, but Free Republic guidelines suggest including the original title when posting. Do you think a duplicate thread should be started with the “We’re not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army” quote as the headline and a link back to this original thread would be useful? Would the moderator pull it?

Rather than starting a new thread, maybe the mods will modify the title of it. If Drudge does link it, it will take off with a second thread.

That sounds good. Can somebody contact a mod? I don’t know how.

I see why you did it this way. It would be rather lengthy with the quote too.

I would suggest this belongs in “Breaking News”

I think the “later” is critical to the statement.

I would be happy for the thread to be edited in some way to highlight the controversial comment made in the article, and also to add it to “Breaking News.”

I’m wondering if the army is the “volunteer” army? The one they are trying to legislate.

I’d like to see them back that up. I’m not afraid to die for my country.

I believe that’s the WHOLE/PRIMARY point of this “canvassing for support” - making a list of dissenters.

Yep.

Take their picture, demand their name, address, phone number and email address before saying anything else to them. Then say nothing. Then follow them to tell your neighbors to do the same.
