Sports radio in Boston: Schilling should run against Kerry in 08

[flashlighter]

Curt Schilling is awesome...on the mound. Off of it, he's a loud mouthed, obnoxious, fundie right wing attention whore. This is a guy who's main charity is finding a cure for ALS...but is opposed to stem cell research?

Curt, kitten, sweetheart, I love the fact that you beat the Yankees. I hate the fact that the first thing out of your mouth the day after the WS was "Vote Bush". Do not do this. You will lose, badly, and you will further tarnish the image New Englanders have of you. Don't listen to the awful sports radio guys, not even they will vote for you.

1. Yeah, let's nominate famous right-wing jocks for high political office

Worked really well with Lynn Swann, didn't it?

:eyes:

[Avalux]

21. lol - yeah, Lynn really wowed 'em with his intellect.

It's kinda sad really. My family has been die-hard Steeler fans since the 70's; Swann was one of my favorite players during those years. But vote for him for Governor? No way! My Dad (who still lives in PA) would tell me of all the stupid gaffes Swann committed during his campaign and we'd laugh hysterically. The man clearly did not have the mental capacity or knowledge to be governor. Pennsylvanians were smart enough to figure that out, let's hope those in Massachusetts are too if Schilling decides to run.

2. Glad you added this!

"Off of it, he's a loud mouthed, obnoxious, fundie right wing attention whore."

Curt Schilling sucks!!!! :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

[Ganja Ninja]

he's what turned me totally off to the bosox. i hope he runs against kerry for the senate seat in MA....kerry would fillet the rightwing douchebag.

[gratuitous]

22. "Montague"?

Is that middle name . . . French?

Yeah, Kerry, a professional politician with a campaign war chest over $15 million is really shaking in his boots about the prospect of a Schilling candidacy. I have a suggested slogan for any Schilling run, offered free of charge: "Curt Schilling: He's not Lynn Swann, so stop saying that!"

[flashlighter]

5. Actually, he's from Alaska. N/T

[Ishoutandscream2]

8. WTF?

Because he's a right-winger, he must be a Texan. Jesus!!

[sniffa]

12. WTF?

because you misread, or read what you wanted to read in that post, you just make a Leap of Logic? jesus!

[Ishoutandscream2]

26. Did I reply to you?

Let that person reply. And it's not a fucking "leap of logic." Southern and Texas bashing are more than common here. So how about letting the person respond to my post!!!

[sniffa]

31. um, how about

i respond to whoever the fuck i want.

and no where in his post did he bash texas. defensive much?

[Ishoutandscream2]

32. Read between the lines

Right winger - must be from Texas. Only someone that is totally naive would think that Texas isn't bashed and that if someone is a fundie or conservative, then he "must be from Texas." Fortunately, he replied in kind. But someone like you can't seem to mind his own business.

Apparently, you like to butt in whenever you want. And no, you can't butt in to "whoever the fuck you want." Stalking is a terrible thing, and being stalked by someone like you is something I don't need to experience.

And by the way, there is a function where you can capitalize letters. I know you folks up north are so much more intelligent than we ignorant Texans. I believe starting a sentence with a capital letter is a standard practice.

Man, being a jerk is easy. Thanks for the helpful lessons.

[sniffa]

36. no probLem on the object Lesson

it's not easy... even for someone from the educated north. :eyes:

[Ganja Ninja]

24. Actually I thought I heard somewhere ..

he made his off-season home in Texas but I wasn't sure that's why I asked.

[Ishoutandscream2]

27. Thank you

I appreciate your comment. As for the other person, butt the hell out.

[sniffa]

6. i say go for it

kerry wiLL wipe the fLoor with him.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

7. Wants a cure for ALS... but is opposed to stem cell research

I say run him.
Massachusetts is a state where science is valued- he'll get creamed.

[bigscott]

9. lifelong red sox fan here

I hate curt shilling like herpes - he is a complete asshole right wing dickweed. People in MASS are much too smart to buy the jock-turned-politician BS this idiot would represent

[TornadoTN]

33. Lifelong Sox fan here as well and he lost me during the 04 Series

When he came out during and after the World Series to proclaim at every opportunity that everyone "should get out their and vote for George W. Bush". Kind of took a little bit of sweetness off of that win, for me at least.

[flashlighter]

10. no don't!!

let me preserve what little respect for him I still have! :(

He won a world series for me, I can't totally despise him.

[Cascadian]

11. It's just like me with Steve Largent.

On the football field, he did wonders for the Seattle Seahawks in the 70's and 80's but off the field, he was a full-on rightie fundie from Oklahoma.

It amazes me how many righties are pro athletes. I guess with all that money and testosterone, it is hard to think with your brain. :eyes:

[Ignacio Upton]

35. You know, if should introduce an "Athletic Freedom Act"

To halt the right-wing bias in professional sports!...Not really, but if we follow the logic that conservatives use to go after professors, then why not do the same thing for professional athletes? Or what about cops and firefighters? Or the military? These are right-leaning professions in the same way academia and Hollywood lean to the left, in that ideology will often lead people to turn to a career that reflects their world outlook. Of course, there are exceptions (Heath Shuler...also, Kos and Olbermann are HUGE sports fans) but if we want to be stereotypical, that professional athletes more or less lean to the right as a whole.

[Jack Rabbit]

13. Is the GOP in Massachusetts that hard up for a sacrificial lamb?

[Breeze54]

15. What GOP in Massachusetts??

:rofl:

[TayTay]

20. I agree!

:rofl:

The Green/Rainbow Party fielded more people for office in '06 than the 'pubbies did.

Torkildsen is crazy, but I don't know if he is that crazy.

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. What are they at now -10% or something?

Bwahahahahahahaha.

[valerief]

14. Oh, boy, more Diebold and ESS election fraud! nt

[cboy4]

16. This is why I try not to investigate the political affiliations of the

players on my teams.

The less I know, the better.

[maveric]

17. And to balance the ticket Ron Silver will be his running mate.

To appease the Hollywood types. :sarcasm:

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Bwahahaha!

Great idea.... :rofl:

[racaulk]

19. This would be a guaranteed victory for Kerry in 2008.

Go Curt go!!! :evilgrin:

[RB TexLa]

23. He puts his foot in his mouth too much as it is

wouldn't make it through a campaign without self destructing

[frylock]

25. i can't wait to see this mullet head attempt to debate kerry..

what a maroon.

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. Go for it, Kurt. Republics here in Mass.don't know any better anyway.

[saltpoint]

30. I don't want to stand into the batter's box against Curt Schilling.

He's a real pro on that mound.

But his politics suck.

If he runs against John Kerry, John Kerry will kick his rightwing ass from here to Hong Kong.

[TornadoTN]

34. He thinks because he was the "face" to the 04' team

That he was elevated to some sort of "special" position of honor in Boston and that he can do no wrong. Somehow Curt, you haven't thought your cunning plan through to its logical conclusion. The people of Mass. actually use their brains to choose their candidates - you wouldn't stand a chance against Kerry. Period. Try your run somewhere where the people are brainwashed sheep - but even you will find that hard to find nowadays.


Curt, thanks for helping win the Series for my beloved Red Sox, but STFU and pitch a complete season.

[AX10]

37. He'll stall at 33% of the vote.

Kerry is going to be re-elected to a fifth term with a commanding mandate.
