Bumping the thread just to clarify that Bricker is a Pretentious Blowhard as well as a Jackass Extraordinaire.

And, talking to him is like talking to … well, a **Brick wall**.

In a recent thread he sobered up long enough to pull out the usual Right-wing whine:  
“Some of you rationalists often behave despicably just as us hypocrite assholes do.”

I challenged him to give an example:

> [@When does political speech become sedition?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/when-does-political-speech-become-sedition/623043/31):
>
> So let’s make a fair comparison then.
> 
> Show us a comment by a Democratic Congressman that is as insolent toward GWB as Congressman Coffman’s was toward Obama. Or a verbal apology as asinine as that in the video which Shodan has trouble understanding (or dares not to view).

No response from the jackass of course. Never mind, he’s knows his target audience has a very short attention span so he’ll be back in a few days making the same unsubstantiated charges.
