Pretty bold talk...
... for a guy who's flirted with successionists in the fairly recent past.

My favourite part of the article (both for how far out on the limb Perry is taking himself AND for the delicious irony of who said it):
Quote:

Karl Rove, a longtime adviser to Mr. Bush went on Fox News to declare, “You don’t accuse the chairman of the Federal Reserve of being a traitor to his country, of being guilty of treason and suggesting that we treat him pretty ugly in Texas.”

Fortunately, conservatives don't post every bit of rhetoric that comes out of Obama's teleprompter, or the forum would be full of such threads.

That's right, they raise them in other threads about the conservatives.

Audacious riposte or not, it is true.

True or untrue, your point is, what? That conservatives mention rhetoric? Sure we do, we just don't usually make it the foundation of a thread. It's rather thin gruel, when unaccompanied by some actual policy that's connected to it.

Some people are SO sensitive.
I mean, it isn't as if he likened anyone as a hostage taker or terrorist.
If anyone did that our delicate friends would really pitch a fit!!

My point is that your instantaneous diversion from the subject (Perry's statements) is empty & vacuous. That you don't start threads on the subject in no way means you stay away from it - you simply try to use it as a diversion from subject matter you don't wish to discuss (or see discussed).
If you didn't want to discuss Perry's statements - you could have simply avoided responding to the subject; instead you try to make out as if conservatives are somehow better for not discussing Obama's rhetoric.... by changing the subject to Obama's rhetoric

Gee, I think that Perry's statements were VERY statesmanlike - just the kind of thing you want to hear from the President of the U.S.
