Whoopdedoo. > > Sadly though, all of the carefully crafted insults you can lob my way won’t make anything that I said any less true. Feel free to keep making shit up though. You can go tell your friends how devastatingly clever you are. Thank you. I’m going to have lots of fun with the internets you have turned over. Hmmm, look at the bottom, it says “Invented by Al Gore.” Not. ---

And might I offer my congratulations for going a whole post without bringing up the Iraq war. There may be hope for you yet. ---

I can’t figure out why you are obsessed with me. Running off at the mouth seems what you are best at. All that you do is cover up for Bush. Queers and steers come from Texas. W does not look like a steer. Ass a matter of fact, he looks hole. R you down with it? Damn girl, even when I’m not dishin it, I’m dishin it! ---

As I said, it’s your attitude that I find so distasteful. If you think it’s okay because you hate Bush, you’re wrong. I’m here to call you on it. I still want to know where the heck you get Bush apologist from any of my posts in this thread. Running off at the mouth (or in this case fingers)? Coming from you? Funniest damn thing I’ve read all day. ---

Coming from you? Funniest damn thing I’ve read all day. Why don’t you re-read your post then? I summarize my dislike of Bush’s policies and his poor character as hate, because that is what it is, hate as arrested anger. It appears that you think that’s bad, I can get from there to deciding that I think you are a Bush apologist. You don’t think people should hate Bush if that is how they happen to feel having thought about the matter? Is that what you are trying to say in your inarticulate way? Because that is what it seems like. I don’t owe you that any more than you owe me an allegience to my way of thinking. And I think that condemning people for “hating” Bush and his policies shows one as an apologist tool. ---

Don’t back out now. You’re so sure that I’m a Bush supporter? You prove it. Find the quote that has you so convinced. > [@](#): > > It appears that you think that’s bad, I can get from there to deciding that I think you are a Bush apologist.

And I think that condemning people for “hating” Bush and his policies shows one as an apologist tool. You keep swinging and never get any closer to the point. I’m sad for you. ☹ I don’t care if you hate Bush. It’s a very popular view these days. Loads of people hate Bush and I simply don’t have the energy to get all that upset about it. What I have a problem with (and why do I keep having to say this) is your “If you ain’t with us on everything, then you’re against us on everything” attitude. What I have a problem with is your inablility to do anything but type in speaking points from the left. What I have a problem with is that you are a knee jerk, mindless, partisan hack. Are we clear yet? Yeesh. ---

What I have a problem with is your inablility to do anything but type in speaking points from the left. What I have a problem with is that you are a knee jerk, mindless, partisan hack. Are we clear yet? Yeesh. Are you really sad for me? Or are you just a poser? I vote poser. I never said “if you aren’t with us, you are against us”, what I said was that if you defend Bush (and in your case, by attacking his attackers so very vacuously), you are a Bush apologist, a Bush, a tool. I don’t take on the burden of proof that you are a Bush supporter, that’s how you’ve mischaracterized my argument, it’s called a straw man. I’ve said you are a tool, you change that to “gee, prove I’m a card carrying Republican”. I can’t offer any evidence of that, nor do I think it likely. I know I’ve hit the mark, right dead between the eyes, because you whine so much about it. ---

So you accuse me of building a straw man (the with us/against us argument), and then say that because I defend Bush by attacking you ( 😕 ) that I am a Bush apologist and thusly against you. I’d like it on record that I have now manipulated Bob Loblaw into actually building my straw man for me. I am now a doper god. Keep on flailing Bob. You’ll get there someday.
