So My father was at Woodstock and witnessed this whole thing go down, used to talk about it all the time…Abbie Hoffman jumped up on stage during The WHO’s set, grabbed the mic and started blabbering his nonsence.   Pete Townshend was having nothing of it and “assisted”  that rotten brain off the stage.  Can’t wait to show him this pic….old school Cancelling was much more effective …Rock n Roll!!! 

this picture is not real.

Ha, believe what you are told to believe…..I can see how the pic might be altered, but none the less Unlce Pete was having nothin of it and punted that putz off the stage in true Rock n roll fashion…

Let me tell you something about Abbie Hoffman, Linda.  If it were not for people like Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bill Zimmerman, and many, many others, I could easily have been drafted into a war that historically is known to have been unjustified and shameful- the war in Vietnam.  That war was ended in large part because of the efforts of these activists and it ended literally days before I was set to be drafted into the arms services (I was not drafted and chose later to serve my country in my own ways including working as a teacher and later doing volunteer work in our community).  Admittedly, as activist Zimmerman put it, "Abbie was a whirling dervish, spewing a constant stream of ideas, some brilliant, some ridiculous..."  Yes, Hoffman was a colorful character and an occasionally somewhat misguided character, but although not all of his ideas were exactly sound, his influence did help lead to the end of that tragic war and led to America becoming a better place.

I hope this helps you to have a more clear understanding of this part of history and if not, to perhaps become a bit more respectful in your posts, or at the very least to become a little more restrained in your unfounded and impetuous criticisms.

I always pay attention to your Posts Brain since you are reasonably and Kind….But on your reponce to my post I will refer to my father who was actually in Vietnam and injured.   I obviously was brought up differently then most on here. That school of hard knocks upbringing has served me and our family very very well.. Mahalo

I’m going to post here that I think I’m being cancelled because my posts were removed from gun violence thread which is closed for review.   Let’s see, I’ve been called a pc of shit, some kind of brain remark, been accused that all of us jerk each other off, and skippy (which is derogatory) but my post and even Jose’s, which said nothing bad, is removed and theirs remain.  

Can I be cancelled for complaining? 

You can be cancelled for making personal comments.

No, really?  Well I take it very personal that you called me a pc of shit.  Someone flagged it.  Some can give it but just can’t take it.  

I should’ve  flagged you both.  

I didn't make a personal comment directly calling you a piece of shit. I made a comment with a blanket statement over a whole group of people just as this message board is full of the same thing calling Republicans every name in the book. 

I took it personally.  You can’t tell me how I took the statement.  If I voted for Biden I was a piece of shit, that’s exactly what you said.  Now I am going to flag it because you’re so afraid I will.  Dish it out but can’t take it.  

I'm not afraid you'll flag it. Please do and while you're at it, go through and flag every derogatory negative statement made about those that voted for Trump and Republicans in general. This message board is dedicated to hating the right.

Please explain and attempt to convince us that “hate” the right, and/or repubs, why we should like them, or at least tolerate them. What is it about repubs and the right that we should respect? What policies of theirs (you used the wrong ‘there’ in a previous post after criticizing someone for misspelling Brietbart, kinda ironic) could we possibly support that addresses any of the current challenges. I’ll ask you to pick 5 and explain why we should consider them (Obama care passed 13 years ago and we’re still waiting for the repub plan to replace it). Please, give us the reasons to love the right. We’re a patient bunch.

How is this not a hateful statement?

"Please explain and attempt to convince us that “hate” the right, and/or repubs, why we should like them, or at least tolerate them."

Hate is on both sides of the aisle but it hurts those that let politics run their lives. Whether you are right or left, that's not the most important detail of your life unless you make it that way. 

If you and I met in person, you would not know I was more Republican than Democrat. I own a business and offer my services to everyone, left or right, whether I disagree with them or not. When a known Democrat walks into my store, I don't question why I should tolerate them. They are a human being and are allowed to believe what they want. I don't let politics control how I feel about someone. I'm also smart enough to know that if either party had full power, we'd all be in trouble. It takes all kinds to make the world go around whether you want to admit that or not.

Do you know of a Brandon Crime family supporter who refused service to a gay person? Nope.
Wedding cakes or webpage design, for example? Nope.
Did the right wing SCOTUS not say it was okay for that to happen? Why would a gay person want someone who doesn't agree with their life decisions to make their wedding cake/web page? That doesn't make sense. Wedding cake, web page designer, these are all artistic skills. If an artist isn't inspired, you probably don't want their services because they could be half assed. Artists need to be inspired and if what you do doesn't inspire them, find an artist who is inspired.
 Are you okay with that decision, as in if you change your mind about who you might serve, drag queens, say, or someone based on their gender identity, would you like to be able to do that? I'm ok with that decision but that doesn't change the fact that I personally would never deny someone service for those reasons.   
Are you okay with Roe being overturned? Yes. It should be a state by state issue like other laws.
 And all the shenanigans that lead up to it with the SCOTUS appointees lying in their senate confirmation hearings? Sorry that the Republicans outsmarted the Democrats.....

"You're okay with that decision." See? There's the difference. You're okay with legalized discrimination. That makes it difficult for me to respect or like you and the party you support. In fact, I'd rather not like to meet you. And I'm sorry Jack Mack and the Heart Attacks outsmarted the POOTWH deplorable family.

It should be the gay persons decision as to whether the artist is "inspired" and if they give shitty service, I'm sure they'll get poor reviews on Yelp. But they don't get the opportunity to get shitty service and you're fine with that. What a philosophy to live by.

What services or who you might want to deny service to?

As an aside, how would you describe repubs and their current values? Honest? God fearing? Real American values?

It should not be a gay persons decision if an artist is inspired by them. 

I've already answered that I wouldn't deny service to anyone, even you. That's the difference. I can tolerate you but you can't tolerate me because you think you're better than me. What a philosophy to live by. You don't know me. You don't know the good that I've done in this world.
