  I received an E-mail from the Admin for several complaints about my abusive and threatening post to Buster.  I was wrong and also I was weak in allowing myself to be angered to that point by someone who is obviously trying to do exactly that.  While Buster does piss me off a great deal with his half truths, slanders and shadow racists posts, it is not his right wing views that set me off.  My God, I live in East Tenn and worked in EMS for nearly 10 years, I have heard it all.  What set me off to the point of suggesting violence ( I asked if Buster would still refer to my femine side if I slapped the Sh@# out of him), was his referal to Ted Kennnedy as "the Tumor".
  Ted Kennedy is dying in front of his family, his children, his orphaned nephews and nieces of a brain tumor.  To me, that statement by Buster is way out of line and beyond human decency.   Yes, I know, Ted Kennedy is guilty of vehicular homicide.  Yes, I know, he is a liberal.  He also lost ALL 3 of his older brothers to violence in service of this country.  Can anyone here imagine that.  ALL three.  He also lost his older sister and nephew in a plane crashes.  This man has seen more tragedy than any of us, at least I hope.  I know that it took me several years to feel near normal after I lost my roomate and close friend on the river.  I can't imagine one brother, or 3  He is also known by both sides of the political spectrum to be maybe the kindest, most caring Senator in Washington.  He actually is a perfect example of the liberal stereotype, using his emotional, caring side over his logical side.  An arguable fault in a politician, but the trait that I value in a human.
To be honest, I have never been a great fan of the man.  But I certainly don't wish him or his family anymore pain and suffering.  Most likely, he will die within a year or so.  Towards the end, he will be miserable and his appearance will be nearly unbearrable for those who care for him.  My father's younger brother died at 35 from the same tumor 30 years ago, with my little brother having his name now.  At 72, my dad can't speak of it without breaking down. 
While I know you really enjoy trying to get responses from others with your rumors and false assessments of history, I will never again respond to your threads.  While I truly have no use for you as a person, or at least the persona you display on here, I would never wish the kind of pain or suffering on you or your family that you seem to enjoy so much in those who disagree with your politics.  Best I could say for you is I would still throw a rope for you, but I wouldn't chase any of your shit.
