Torricelli on Michael Vick and the Eagles (Look Who's Moralizing)
Politicker NJ.com ^ | Aug 20, 2009 | Robert Torricelli

Posted on 09/26/2009 5:43:19 AM PDT by Titus-Maximus

When did we become such an unforgiving people? Former U.S. Sen. Robert Torricelli says he'll root for any team that plays the Eagles, now that Michael Vick is on their roster.

The decision of who to support in this year's NFL match ups just got easier. I'm for anybody who plays against the Eagles.

Michael Vick is joining the team. The same man who just left a federal jail on felony counts involving the torturing and death of animals is about to reenter center stage. That's quite a message about the state of our culture and the role that NFL wants to play in our lives.

Homicide detectives sometimes track animal abuse because it's often the first act of mass murders. The same sociopathic behavior that takes pleasure in the suffering of an animal will migrate to the pleasure gained by harming a person. It's the same complete indifference to life. The killing of a helpless animal is not only unlawful but an act of depravity and sickness.

Think about Michael Vick. He trained dogs to maul and maim each other until death. When he was disappointed in them, he hung them by the neck. Their teeth were forcefully removed without anesthesia. Their torture became a means of his entertainment.

The talking heads on television describes him as a victim of "political correctness" and we're "denying him his right to make a living". What a sick society.

Let the Eagles make their choice. You should make yours. Watch every company that advertises during Eagles games and refuse to buy their products. Decent people should have no part in this charade. Sportsmanship used to involve more than athletic prowess. A sportsman was a person of character and a role model. It seems that the NFL has traded the notion of representing the best to allow the participation of the worst.

Now for the corrupt reaching up out of the 9th circle of hell to point out who is corrupt.

Hey Torricelli - STFU, because you are immoral and we don't want to hear you moralizing. Isn't there enough hypocrisy coming out of the NJ Democratic party? Why don't you talk about that, add in a confessional and maybe we will start to believe you.

Every Democrat in New Jersey, please turn yourself in to the nearest police station.

In retrospect the corruption that “The Torch” went on vacation for is child’s play compared to the corruption under the Corzine regime.

Robert Torricelli will say his corruption was just about money and he don’t kill any pets.

Not surprising - even rat scumbags like Torricelli like dogs.

Torricelli and Vic are birds of a feather.

Confucius also say:

“Man who run too fast through airport turnstile always going to Bangkok”

and:

“Girl who ride bicycle upside down have crack up”

Seriously, the same “forgiving “ people who make excuses for Vick were the same ones who went after:

Rush Limbaugh (NFL Today)
John Rocker
Al Campanis
Jimmy the Greek

They all had the same right to “make a living” as Dogboy, AKA Ron Mexico

I guess Michael Vick didn’t send the suits and the fountain to Torricelli. What’s a poor gangster to do? (I mean Torricelli.)

Seems some people have more compassion towards children rapists than Micheal Vick.
