If you don’t know who I’m talking about, go over to GD. He’s all over it.
It isn’t his circular arguments or his irritating habit of making a claim and backing it up with, “all of recorded human history demonstrates whatever I just said”. It isn’t his slightly creepy signature line. It isn’t the fact that he makes assumptions which nobody else finds even slightly likely and expects them to be accepted as fact.

this. He (or she, possibly, but we’ll go with he) double-spaces every single goddamn line. I’m not grading your work, dipshit. I’m not printing it and making notes. I’m just trying to scroll down the fucking page without wearing out my trackball. Stop it. Post like a normal person- resist the enter key.
The_Broken_Column is the first person I’ve met who officially qualifies as “dumber than a sack of hammers.” I don’t even know how dumb a sack of hammers is, but it has to be smarter than this guy!
Too bad the [size] tag doesn’t work on the ‘rolleyes’ smilie.
I liked the abortionists = nazi allegation.
I’m pro-life but I respect pro-choicers who don’t believe fetus = person. dutchboy208, I think you’re getting your panties in a wad for no good reason.
I don’t understand what the problem is.
Everyone knows this. If you need some sources, I might go find some later.
I think The_Broken_Column will be around for a long time.
I do.
I like the one where he says liberals are hypocrites because they want the freedom to do whatever they want but they don’t want anyone infringing on their freedoms.
Is there a legitimate point anywhere, or is it something like this:
“Those capitalists are hypocritical, they want the money they make, but they don’t want anyone to steal it from them!”
That’s about the best I can come up with.
The best I could come up with is that he meant “liberals want the freedom to do whatever they want, but don’t want anyone else to have the freedom to do whatever they want because it might infringe their own freedom.”
Mind you, in college I was the designated “stoned to stoned” translator.
One friend would say something, another would look blank, I’d repeat the statement word for word, and the second guy would say “Ooooooh, yeah. Now it makes sense.”
That’s an insult to hammers. It truly is. I’d say “More useless than a box of hair” but a talented wigmaker could probably make something out of a box of hair. “Not as sharp as a bag of wet mice” might work. Oh wait, I got it!
