    Sarcasm is not a word you're familiar with, non?

    Look, I'm not the one smearing an entire ideology because I have an issue with a few people, you seem to regard every right-winger as some sort of delusional fool. I've tried being civil with you, but all I get is you engaging in Pilger-esque demonisation with no attempt at reasonable dialogue. It's people like you who create the myth that left-wingers are arrogant, can't admit anything that contradicts their world view and engages in cheap tactics like aversion, strawmen, associating the worst with the mainstream and so on. On top of this, you've yet to provide an answer to a question I've repeatedly asked.

    VIDEO 1: The was crowd cheering the line "that is what freedom is all about, people taking risks and accepting responsibility for that". You crossing a road is taking a risk, why should other people be expected to foot the bill for your choice and your risk? If I decide not to wear a helmet when I ride a bike, I fall and split my head, should other people have to pay for my idiocy? It's different in circumstances outside one's immediate control, but when it comes to choice, we classical liberals feel the individual takes responsibility for their actions.

    I bet you didn't even watch the video, you just saw the title, it fits with your skewed views, and posted it.

    VIDEO 2: So a few bad apples can ruin the whole barrel? Can I have all left-wingers arressted for what Mao did during his reign? I agree with the host, whether or not you believe execution is a valid punishment, it's wrong to applaud when people have been killed/ executed.

    Video 3: OMG! THREE, MAYBE TWO PEOPLE BOO'ED OBVIOUSLY ALL RIGHT-WINGERS, REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES ARE HOMOPHOBIC!!

    Please, when engaging in mud-slinging campaigns, at least use material that actually looks like everyone is a savage rather than just a few people.

    You are the one taking this out of context to make an extremist point, not I. The plutocrats of this society have made medical treatment an impossibility for anyone not wealthy and then turn around and claim anyone who can't afford insanely over-priced insurance (that even if you have is taken from you when you try to use it) is lazy and not worth preserving anyway. It's just one of the many little indirect ways you try to make out anyone not from the aristocracy as a worthless animal unfit to live in the first place.

    It wasn't a few and none of the candidates, all of whom presume to be the leaders of the nation and are supported as such by the Republican establishment--said a damn word about what had just happened, did they? So which is it: Are they in unanimous agreement or are they moral cowards who go along with anything, however evil, if it will get them what they want.

    EDIT: If you are ever in Florida or Texas, go to a prison on a day when someone is being executed (It's very common so timing should not be an issue) and observe what takes place out in the parking lot.

    For you to claim that homophobia is not rife in the Republican community is absurd on its face. And the points above about the candidates silence apply here as well.

    And why not? They have an army of minions to do their talking for them on message boards. People who are in constant defense mode and who clearly have agendas of posting a certain number of anti-Obama or anti-Democrat posts or threads each week. Just enough to think they are doing something, but not enough to think they look obvious.

    Thank the stars we don't have that here. You know, some strange little cabal of mental midgets who would go all out to defend something like this, by arguing that it isn't representative of all conservatives or Republicans, while many of their posts would make the same assertions about liberals or Democrats.

    Clearly, no human is this stupid. I submit then that Mdm. Bachmann must be some closely related primate who has undergone a mutation giving her (albeit limited) powers of speech. The rhesus monkey, as one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, seems an excellent place to start in attempting to divine just what sort of creature she is. I am, of course, open to other suggestions. She may well be some sort of reptile…



    Now if you're like me, you don't wanted a lower primate holding high office in this country and so I invite you all to join me in demanding that congress "person" Michelle Bachmann submit to a DNA test so that we can be certain of her species affiliation. Rhesus monkies don't even come from this beautiful, glorious country--which makes her an illegal alien as well!

    A rather amusing OP. Thankyou for the read. I tried to rep you, but apparently I need to spread it around first.

    Yes, and the Jews rule the world. So, what exactly was that piece of legislation that Obama passed?

    If YOU say so. No evasion here...
    What evasion? you made a poor claim, I refuted it. Deal with it.

    It wasn't a few and none of the candidates, all of whom presume to be the leaders of the nation and are supported as such by the Republican establishment--said a damn word about what had just happened, did they? So which is it: Are they in unanimous agreement or are they moral cowards who go along with anything, however evil, if it will get them what they want.
    If you are a Presidential candidate, are you going to tell your supporters to shut the up and learn some manners? no, because you then lose their support. Obviously it's their choice about whether or not they wish to court these people. And if they wish to seek their support or trash it over one event, so be it. How many times have you seen a politician or public figure berate the audience? So, why is this popularity contest only noteworthy when a Rep' Presidential candidate does it?

    Also, I'm amused how you think this Youtube vid' somehow makes all right-wingers bad.

    For you to claim that homophobia is not rife in the Republican community is absurd on its face. And the points above about the candidates silence apply here as well.
    Ok, so apparently if one is a member of this party, which takes on many shapes and variants, or is a follower of libertarianism (since they are in the GOP) this automatically makes them gay-haters?

    I brought up several other points as well, and you are ignoring them still. You keep SAYING I made no other points just to try and get a casual reader to THINK I must not have. It's a form of character assassination. Go back and look and you will find SEVERAL specific complaints I made about the Republican party and their attitude about public education. Or just say, again, that I never did--really doesn't matter to me.

    WTF? Are you trying to insinuate I made such a claim without outright saying so? Perhaps in order to be able to deny it should you be called out for it? This remark was straight-up sick in the head...

    Quote Originally Posted by Malzahar View Post

    He passed a half-assed pro-insurance company law that doesn't in any meaningful way address the problem and those same insurance companies are throwing a fit about it anyway because: 1) they want NO regulation of their behavior, and 2) they can try to shift the "perceived" center of the debate to the far-right. An old tactic: Say something over and over and people will start to think it's true.

    Making an unsubstantiated claim about me is not refuting anything, it's trying to slip-in assumptions about my character that you think will make your position seem more tenable then it actually is.

    First: Yes, if you have the slightest human decency you will call-out evil when it is right in front of you. While I am no Obama fan, I will point out that when he was running for office and speaking to a congragation in a black church he called them out on their homophobia and received a very chilling reception for it. It was one of the things that won him so much support in the gay community in fact.

    Second: While I am no fan of the democrats, please give me an example from the last few decades of when a democrat has been guilty of an equivalent moral omission. Happy hunting...

    It is a physical record of an event, where it is posted makes no difference one way or the other. The fact that you now try to belittle the recording based on where it came from--as opposed to addressing what was shown on it--indicates a lack of honesty to put it politely.

    If you belong to a group that constantly uses hatred of gays, or minorities, or whatever, to bolster their standing with bigots and win their support, never calling them out on it--then yes, you share in the guilt for it, even if you yourself don't really believe it. In fact that is, in many ways, even worse.

    Rich according to a democrat means you don't live pay check (welfare check) to pay check (welfare check). Rich to me means you don't have to work and will still be able to live an extravagant lifestyle.

    I'm pretty sure I answered all points, unless I suspected they were strawmen. If you feel this is an unsatisfactory response, show me the points I missed.

    <sigh> yes AJ, that's why I put a ridiculous statement under a slash out line.


    He passed a half-assed pro-insurance company law that doesn't in any meaningful way address the problem and those same insurance companies are throwing a fit about it anyway because: 1) they want NO regulation of their behavior, and 2) they can try to shift the "perceived" center of the debate to the far-right. An old tactic: Say something over and over and people will start to think it's true.
    A start is better than nothing, non? It's not my preferred way of fixing the problem, but that's another thread. Anyway, you're slipping from the point you raised.

    Making an unsubstantiated claim about me is not refuting anything, it's trying to slip-in assumptions about my character that you think will make your position seem more tenable then it actually is.
    Sorry? lolwhut?

    True, but you evidently don't know that it's suicide to attack your die-hard supporters if you're a public figure. Anyway, the gay community is more likely to support the Democrats rather than the Republicans, so appealing to the gay community at the expense of one's base is a silly move for a Republican like Perry or Santorum. What worked for Obama in that circumstance may not work for another politician from another party in another circumstance. How you are failing to grasp that, politically, it is easier for the candidate to ignore the crassness of the few instead of alienating a section of their supporters for no political benefit, I don't quite get.



    It is a physical record of an event, where it is posted makes no difference one way or the other. The fact that you now try to belittle the recording based on where it came from--as opposed to addressing what was shown on it--indicates a lack of honesty to put it politely.
    I don't care for it's source, my point is that one clip showing a few nuts is apparently evidence to burn the entire right on your stake. I never belittled Youtube, perhaps this is just another diversionary AJ tactic at work here. Surely you'd never do that.



    If you belong to a group that constantly uses hatred of gays, or minorities, or whatever, to bolster their standing with bigots and win their support, never calling them out on it--then yes, you share in the guilt for it, even if you yourself don't really believe it. In fact that is, in many ways, even worse.
    This is the Republican Party we are talking about, not the ing KKK. Some people oppose immigration of illegals for economic or legal reasons, and I've mentioned the various views rightists may have of gays above. Naturally, when a party has a policy, extremists will come out to play, just like how some... interesting characters may support the Democrat party. Or is it the fault of the Party that it doesn't crush dissenting views from being spoken?

    Two things to this point:

    First off, it’s satire and that makes it okay. But don’t take MY word for it, Sarah Palin says so too:






    Secondly, to quote your beloved Glen Beck: "I'm just asking a question--Is it wrong to ask a question?"

    It’s not clear to me she's a homo sapien, but then I have standards. I thought you right-wingers hated political correctness* anyway, and if you were so concerned then why wait until page 4 to bring this point up? It sort of comes across like you're reaching for straws.

    In any event, she is a hateful, ignorant, bigot and deserves to be mocked. As to your vehement condemnations, I think it should be pretty clear by now that your approval caries little weight with me.



    *political correctness: The McCarthyism of the Left” I have heard you guys call it, although you also maintain that Joe McCarthy was a hero so that sort of doesn’t make sense but when has that ever mattered, right?

    Is this for real? She's ignorant? She has all the traits of a homo sapien. Hateful? You called her a monkey? You demoted her to a lesser species. How was I reaching for straws. I clearly destroyed your question. You're reaching for straws by resorting by such a ridiculous ad homoniem. Jesus Christ is this what the left is made of? Holy these people are in power? I'm frigging speechless.

    AJStoner is rather partisan and his views are .. interesting, interesting as in they sound like a page straight from Democratic Underground. He routinely uses strawmen, diversions and other silly fallacies while accusing me of using the same tactics. I like to see myself as a clear-headed guy; I never generalise, I always try and see why other people have different views, but people like AJ are simply too hardcore to have any meaningful dialogue.

    I guess this was all obvious when he made this thread.

    Define rich then.

    Mr. Jones, I have never used blanket terms or absolutes when talking about the left. Never. I have also never posted a video with a jackass from the left making a dick of themselves and then said "LOOK, EVIDENCE THAT ALL LEFTIES ARE EVIL ERS"

    Also, are you saying anti-Obama/ Democrat/ left wing threads aren't allowed but anti Republican/ right wing threads are allowed? Interesting.

    BTW, that video I have already addressed, go and see post number 82 where I explained the flaw in using that Youtube video as an attack piece. Or does >4 people fully represent a political party?

    Ok I have a confession to make, I can no longer live this lie.

    I'm not a 40 something year old gamer, with multiple biology degrees and a doctorate. I'm not an atheist. I don't have two kids or a hot wife that is a competitive runner.

    No, its all a lie. I'm actually 23 years old and work for Evangelicals Vilifying Innocent Liberals. E.V.I.L. for short.

    E.V.I.L. was founded back in 2006 to combat the growing awareness of the American public to the failings of religious conservatism. We knew we could no longer attempt to stifle the debate for the vibrant blossoming of liberal politics which would sweep this nation in a wave of prosperity and enlightenment. This could not be allowed. Young internet posters, barely out of college, without a penny to their name or accomplishment under their belt beyond feeling entitled were using their vast powers of education to cut swaths in our former voter base, uneducated red neck hicks and soccer moms.

    By posting obfuscating posts about the vibrant and world changing policies of Barack Hussein Obama we hope to confuse the voter in the name of Jesus Christ our true Lord and Savior. This recession would have been over 2nd quarter of 2008 but for our instruction to our mindless flock to not spend beyond the essentials and to lay off as many workers as possible in their businesses. This allows us to claim the stimulus package did nothing, when in reality, it was an incredible and bold move which would have put the US on a path to complete economic supremacy for centuries to come.

    Today I was instructed by my superiors to post about how Obama doesn't understand the difference between weather and climate change in relation to Texas this year but I broke. Its obvious the world is hurting and only someone like Obama can save us, not just the US but ALL of us.

    I can no longer live this lie, I have been discovered, I feel ashamed. The truth has set me free.

    (for the really slow)

    "Every idea is an incitement. It offers itself for belief and if believed it is acted on unless some other belief outweighs it or some failure of energy stifles the movement at its birth. The only difference between the expression of an opinion and an incitement in the narrower sense is the speaker's enthusiasm for the result. Eloquence may set fire to reason." -Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

    This is just an inane bashing thread that actually brings the Mudpit down (I know, I did not think such a thing possible either).

    No, its all a lie. I'm actually 23 years old and work for Evangelicals Vilifying Innocent Liberals. E.V.I.L. for short.

    E.V.I.L. was founded back in 2006 to combat the growing awareness of the American public to the failings of religious conservatism. We knew we could no longer attempt to stifle the debate for the vibrant blossoming of liberal politics which would sweep this nation in a wave of prosperity and enlightenment. This could not be allowed. Young internet posters, barely out of college, without a penny to their name or accomplishment under their belt beyond feeling entitled were using their vast powers of education to cut swaths in our former voter base, uneducated red neck hicks and soccer moms.

    By posting obfuscating posts about the vibrant and world changing policies of Barack Hussein Obama we hope to confuse the voter in the name of Jesus Christ our true Lord and Savior. This recession would have been over 2nd quarter of 2008 but for our instruction to our mindless flock to not spend beyond the essentials and to lay off as many workers as possible in their businesses. This allows us to claim the stimulus package did nothing, when in reality, it was an incredible and bold move which would have put the US on a path to complete economic supremacy for centuries to come.

    Today I was instructed by my superiors to post about how Obama doesn't understand the difference between weather and climate change in relation to Texas this year but I broke. Its obvious the world is hurting and only someone like Obama can save us, not just the US but ALL of us.

    I can no longer live this lie, I have been discovered, I feel ashamed. The truth has set me free.

    (for the really slow)

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    I'm foreign, but can I join E.V.I.L? I' really need to channel my undying hatred for enlightenment and prosperity.
