Why do Republican's and Neocons think it is OK..?

(marshall matt dillon) to contact someone' personal email and make threats against them, their company and their families livelyhood? This centered around me Questioning whether or not it is acceptable for Halliburton to be doing business with Iran, because Iran is our enemy.
Like I had stated in my reply email, I did not put my uniform on everyday and go to War, and neither did my father and grandfathers, so that I could be told what to say by NAZI Gustapo and Communist Party Enforcers. Now its gone beyond the President, we can't even question US corporations who do business with our enemy. So that is what you think this country is about? You can have an opinion as long as its exactly like Mine? It is too bad though, I have welcomed emails from some Republicans and conservatives who differ in opinions from me. They Support the war and Love President Bush, and I have enjoyed the open intelligent discourse.

If you have received threats to your personal email via YA, you should contact site administration immediately with full details.

The political debate of the discussion is irrelevant. It is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE for anyone to make threats against you, your family or your business, whatever you think and whatever they think.

It's also illegal in most places. If the threats were serious or violent, I suggest you contact the police, too.

I'm sorry this has happened to you. Good luck.

It is a transcript by 60 minutes the same organization that brought you the Bush Air Guard letter. THey have a vendetta against the Bush administration so I place zero credibility to their reporting. I'd like to see where CBS' stockholdings go. No doubt if someone probed you'd find out that they have ties to Iran too.

Republicans and corporations are not the problem as much as liberals like to claim. Democrats didn't b.itch about the corporations' stocks making them rich during Clinton's administration.

I agree, it is sick. We have a Vice-President in this country who condoned the selling of nuclear technology to the declared "axis of evil" through an offshore subsidiary while he was CEO of Halliburton. How is this possible?

Ya, the world is run by corporations, not voters. I don't care who gets elected, large corporate donors run the political agendas.

What to do? Endorse Watchdog operations .... it is the only way to keep tabs on these criminals.

Why do some voters choose to ignore and defend this b.s.? Perhaps they are emotionally "stuck" ... it hurts to have your paradigm busted? I don't care who the leader is ... if he commits a serious crime against the security of this country, then he should not be leading ... and seriously, let's get legal caps on corporate campaign donations - they are completely out of control and currently these companies have "carte blanche" to manipulate our politics.

Welcome to "New World Order"!

I would like to add that I have heard about this kind of threats, and I am not sure if it was made only by "Republicans" or by "Democrats" as well.

Why do you assume that this one person speaks for all Republicans or Neo-Cons ?

Is it necessary to try and lump half the population together?

Do you really believe that ALL Republicans hold the same beliefs ?

If so, your education is sadly lacking.

Unfortunately, Y!A seems to be filled with underage or socially underdeveloped trolls whose only goal is divisiveness. I received the following (quoted text) from DownsizeDC this morning that I feel expresses it quite well. I agree with you and with it. I spent 21 years in the U.S. Army, and not so our government could exercise unrestricted control over the people.

"Subject: Repealing the Patriot Act

Our call to repeal the Patriot Act generated hate mail. In between the many curse words employed by some of the angry mailers, their basic arguments reduced to this . . .

The burden of proof lies with us, not the government. If the government says it needs new powers in order to protect us, then we must grant those powers.

Take this argument to its logical conclusion and there is no basis for retaining a democratic republic of constitutionally limited powers. The government merely needs to make claims and we must accept them.

We do not like this argument or its logical consequences, so we take the opposite approach.

Government has a monopoly of the use of force. This is a supreme power, and a dangerous one. Therefore, this monopoly must be controlled and limited. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights is one way to do this. DISTRUST of government in the minds of citizens is another.

The politicians running the government routinely ignore constitutional limits. Therefore, an inherent and consistent distrust of government, on the part of the people, is indispensable.

The burden of proof must ALWAYS rest on the government's shoulders.

Critical thinking, even distrust, should be the automatic response of every citizen to every government request to remove or reduce legal limits on its powers."

I suppose you would like to eliminate the first amendment for those who disagree with you.

Listen I try hard not to respond to idiots who use terms like neocon or libcrap, but I read some of your stuff and thought maybe you do not get it. If you will stop using words like that, make your points, because we all know this is about YOU, not about asking questions, but thats okay, go ahead.

Your position is clearly anti-america, you do not allow dissent of your position but yet for those of your ilk you are allowed to say and do what you want in terms of dissent. You are a hypocrite and this whiny note shows it clearly

Also I suspect your politics lean a little left of liberal and most likely you would be best labeled socialist with communist leanings. You are also quite apparent.

SO enjoy dim.

It's normal procedure with supply side economics and Republican corporations like Halliburton, Kellogg, Brown, and Root (KBR), and the Bechtel corporation. You are correct with what you have stated, and this administration still uses the Bechtel corporation after they delivered weapons to the Iranians with the Iran Contra ordeal. You can check any of these facts that are publicly available. Just pop in F-14 Tom Cats, and the Iranian Air Force and see what comes up.

Welcome to the world of the Left. We conservatives do not believe in the tactics taken against you, for we may dislike what you say, but also do not think you are evil or a bad person, but rather quite misguided.
I suggest you try saying something that the Left does not like in any of the blogs and see what happens. You will think that what you experienced via this incident pale in comparison to the Anger and hatred of the loony Left.

The Left has little but hatred to espouse, with little intellectual backing to that hatred. Hatred for hatred's sake, you might say.

I like to say I am a conservative not a Republican. Threats come from people who are threatened by what you have to say. We need more people to question the business practices of large corporations in a venue other than yahoo. Write your congressman, write your senators, stand up in front of a crowd. It is time to change the way things are done and the change must come from within. I am starting something soon. Please e-mail me your thoughts on what needs to be changed at ctwrevolution@yahoo.com

I am sure that you and your ideas are just so incredibly threatening to them that they need to resort to those types of things. I am sure that you are very important and your lone voice is making them quiver in their boots. Get real. They could give a sh** what you think. They own us all anyway, no matter what some guy in nowhereville thinks.
