Unbelievable. The thread title was no more incendiary than many in GD. I laid out the facts as they are now available, specifically asked what others thought she be done and offered my opinion.
::shrug:: The SDMB moderation—as expected.
Where did I say or imply that this should reflect on Coakley in any way?
The OP only raised one point of debate: what should happen to Mr. Meehan.
ETA: magellan, you’re quite right. you did not specifically make that connection.
So, it’s either never vote for a Dem again or make believe this didn’t happen. You just created an excluded middle that reaches infinity. Congratulations.
What I mean, though, it’s possible to say, “The Democrats did something wrong” without jumping automatically to, “and therefore you should vote Republican.”
Right, because on the Straight Dope everyone is very careful to stick to the OP’s topics of debate. And actually, the OP only raised the one point of debate, what should happen to Mr. Meehan. He didn’t ask what should happen to the campaign at all.
How about finding out what did happen before labeling it “Democrat thuggery”?
Either your reading comprehension or counting is off. I was asking about what should happen to Meehan. Feel free to point to the other point you claim I was making.
Hm. Link works for me now. Without sound it seems rather innocuous, and without seeing what the reporter was doing before he was impeded, I don’t see how you can reach any conclusion at all about Meehan’s behavior.
What was the reporter holding up?
See edit.
I’m not wearing the mod hat at the moment, so I’ll tell you this is bullshit.
What’s the title of this thread?
Boo-fucking-hoo you unthinking partisan robot.
Of course!:smack: Because no one ever creates a thread title based on the information available at the time. But I guess it’s hard to type and circle the wagons at the same time. Yee-hah!!!
I got your back.
I fully plan on voting for many many Dems in the future AND I believe this happened (even though I can’t click the links right now … see, I’m taking your word for it).
Now what? Seriously, what would you expect an honorable Democrat to do and/or say?
Accuse First-Find Out Later.
So how’s that working out for you so far?
Oh really, Mr. Mod Hat off. That why don’t you explain how what I wrote is bullshit.
You should look at it again. There is no mention of Coakley you dumb fuck. It has to do with an aid to a Boston democrat, does it not, you dumb-dumb? If I wanted to ask about the effect on Coakley I would have. I didn’t because I don’t see it as having anything to do with her. Some over-zealous aide pushes a reporter then impedes his progress…I don’t see how she’s to blame for that. How she handles this now, yes. But the incident, she’s in the clear.
Nice try though. :rolleyes:
Ha. As expected, the man without a mirror, Lobohan, enters a thread to call a conservative poster names. What other surprises might this day hold?!!!
Thank you. I think it’s quite comical that people are in a tizzy about a question I didn’t raise. And some of them are calling ME partisan? Like I said, comical.
You certainly said or implied that this should reflect on Democrats in any way. The entire party! That’s much better.
The guys a fucking thug. Period. Even IF he wasn’t the one who pushed him, he’s using his size to impede the reporter. But as it stands now, it appears that he IS the one who did the pushing. Guess you’d like to defend the other thug I cited, too, huh, Trail Boss?
Yee-fucking–hah!!!
Nothing partisan about “Democrat thuggery”-nosiree!
