I'm going to this thread for my web noob question: How do I make a url link out of this?
[url]
I know how to do it with <a href""></a> but not with this.

???
[url] isn't HTML, it's something used in forums as a kind of easy-to-use syntax for specifying links and images (markdown I believe is what it's called).
And I'm guessing that case, the format would be something like [url]http://www.qbn.com[/url]. But it only works in a web app designed to process that syntax.
- well that makes sense but how am I supposed to make the text and url different like <a href...> ?********

Oh sorry, it's not Markdown but rather BBCode.

And there appears to be no way to make the text different.

Clinton says "chill the f out"
Former President Bill Clinton on Tuesday waded into the debate about America’s political rhetoric in the wake of last weekend’s shootings in Arizona, saying the tone of the national conversation must change.
Speaking from Haiti on the one-year anniversary of the earthquake there, Mr. Clinton suggested that passionate political speech should not be directly blamed for the kind of violence that occurred in Tucson. But he said the angry back-and-forth of modern debate is not healthy.
“No one intends to do anything that encourages this sort of behavior,” Mr. Clinton told the British Broadcasting Corporation. But he said the political commentary should not “degenerate into demonization” because it “falls on the unhinged and the hinged alike.”

It's interesting that Clinton was such a hated figure during the time he was President and had the same kind of anger thrown at him over inconsequential shit. People called him a radical extremist, tossed around these insane conspiracies that he murdered people, and tried to impeach over nothing more than a BJ or three.
And now that it's all over, he's respected almost universally by left and right. I suspect it will be the same for Obama by the end of it all.

- that's true, because you now realize he was one of the lesser of the many current evils. Jimmy Carter perhaps?********

On July 27, 2008, a politically motivated[2][3] fatal shooting took place at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. Motivated by a desire to kill liberals and Democrats, gunman Jim David Adkisson fired a shotgun at members of the congregation during a youth performance of a musical, killing two people and wounding seven others.
Motivations
Adkisson, a former private in the United States Army from 1974 to 1977, says that he was motivated by hatred of Democrats, liberals, African Americans and homosexuals.[2][9][10] According to a sworn affidavit by one of the officers who interviewed Adkisson on July 27, 2008:[3]
“During the interview Adkisson stated that he had targeted the church because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country’s hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of major media outlets. Adkisson made statements that because he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them into office. Adkisson stated that he had held these beliefs for about the last ten years. ”
Additionally, one of Adkisson’s former wives had been a member (in the 1990s) of the church where the attack occurred.[11]
Adkisson’s manifesto[12] also cited the inability to find a job, and that his food stamps were being cut. His manifesto stated that he intended to keep shooting until police arrived and expected to be killed by police. Adkisson had a waist satchel with more ammunition, totaling 76 shells of #4 shot.
The following books were found in Adkisson’s home during a police search:[10]
Liberalism is a Mental Disorder by radio talk show host Michael Savage
Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism by talk show host Sean Hannity
The O’Reilly Factor: The Good, the Bad, and the Completely Ridiculous in American Life by television talk show host Bill O’Reilly
In his manifesto, Adkisson also included the Democratic members of the House and Senate,[12] and the 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America [12] of Bernard Goldberg in his list of wished-for targets.
