Wow, that was soooo funny. Your best yet! You’re a comedic GENIUS!!! and I haven’t seen shit you’ve ever posted that was interesting. And I can say plenty of nice things about many posters who I debate against often. You ain’t one of them, son.
I just Googled “Democrat thuggery” and “Coakley”, and guess which right wing “News” blogs used the same term that magellan01 supposedly came up with?
Cut and paste much?
Don’t be so sad. People really like you here. I’d doubt more than 85% of the regular posters think you’re a fucking moron.
I’m thinking you don’t understand how a mirror works, just because you see a huffing, beetle-browed retard in the mirror doesn’t mean I’ll see one.
Again, you don’t know how to debate. You know how to troll around poisoning wells. It’s obvious that you don’t know how to think rationally, at least for anyone who has seen you post in a same sex marriage thread.
If it makes you feel better to think I was handed a memo from the Evil Powers, so be it. I didn’t, but why should that even matter? The incident happened. Newspapers reported on it. I asked a question. Are your powers of thought really so touchy that the mere coupling of the words democrat and thuggery throw the synapses out of whack?
Toughen up, princess. And how about answering the question in the OP? Cause you ain’t answering it and you ain’t modding. You’re just making you and your protective throng look lamer and lamer.
I don’t really give a shit about your thread title; the point is you’re completely filled with dicks if you’re going to pretend that your OP wasn’t a partisan snipe. Your OP also referenced “this other democrat thug.” It’s almost as if you’re not concerned with specific behaviors of offending individuals, and have some sort of focus on democrat thuggery or some such.
In answer to your question, I think this Meehan fellow should be given a prize. These types of stalking “reporters” are annoying as shit, and are deserving of more than a harmless shove.
Yeah, I guess the whole rabble rousing tone of the OP can just be ignored, right?
The fucking asshole here is the Magellan, who was clearly starting shit. It isn’t like he didn’t know exactly what was going to happen with this thread. It was obviously intended to start a fight.
The short answer here is some jackass did something wrong. “Democrats” shouldn’t be vilified for it. But then again, it is in the right wing retard playbook to go right for the bullshit.
ivan astikov left or didn’t feel like answering, but how is Coakley being stalked? She’s a candidate for the Senate and she’s taking questions from reporters in front of a freaking fundraiser. I’d think that’s pretty fucking public. I guess the guy asked for it by taking a few steps in her direction after she ducked his question. The nerve of him for not giving up instantly, right?
Sorry to disappoint you, princess, I don’t visit freerepublic. I saw it on Drudge, which took me to the Boston Herald article, and then The Weekly Standard.
But this is surprising. One would think that a moderator on a debate board would know that blaming the messenger is a flavor of the ad hominem fallacy. and know enough to avoid fallacious arguments. You’re making the moderators on the board I like like like jackasses, please stop it. Yes, your actions should reflect solely on you, but you taint the entire modship with your Lobohan level of debate.
Oh I think he’s much more reasonable than I am. You, however, don’t even understand what a debate is. You’re a shill, an empty-suit that blankly and unthinkingly scans the newsfeed for something, anything that supports your prime directive, “Dems Bad!”
Your face might as well be a video screen that displays the Drudge Report for all the thought you put into your arguments.
Yet, people have engaged me in debate for probably a hundred pages on that subject alone. You say I’m a troll. Another poster tried to pit me in that vein once (was it you or just someone as stupid as you?) and it was pretty unanimous by those who joined in on the pitting that that claim was wrong. Next you say that I don’t know how to think rationally. Really? How do I think then? What non-rational thinking process do I use? How do I drive a car, use a computer, get people to pay me quite a bit of money to guide their businesses? How did I learn to fly an airplane? Through what non-rationale thinkiing process do I to score well enough on moderated IQ tests to qualify for clubs beyond Mensa? What processes did I use to get maximum scores on tests for Officer Training school?
Please, this is very interesting…I was always under the impression that thinking rationally was what allowed those things to happen. But heck, I even find those two words redundant, so you must have some other grasp of them. Please, by all means, would you mind sharing? Otherwise I might be tempted to think (rationally) that you are just a full of shit blowhard that might be the most blindly partisan poster in these boards.
Well what I saw was a shaky, dark video that only showed a few seconds of the entire incident, so I’ll admit I’m assuming here, but these assumptions are based on O’Reilly-Factor-style power-stalking these reporters often do, as if they’re trying to snap a photograph of Brangelina. You think this guy just picked a random person asking questions to shove? Even newsbusters took a break from blowing Dick Cheney to describe the events as such:
*McCormack wrote after Coakley finished her answer he followed her and asked her why health care industry lobbyists were supporting her at the fund-raiser. He said she did not reply.
As he continued to walk down the street, he said a man who appeared to be associated with Coakley’s campaign pushed him into a free-standing metal rail.*
He asked her a question, she didn’t answer, he followed her, she didn’t answer, he continued to follow her, then someone got in his face. Good. I would love to see a video of the entire thing, from the initial counter to the end, instead of this poorly snipped controversy-starter.
I’m not going to defend reporters who do ridiculous things like camping out on people’s lawns to find out if they cheated on their spouse or something like that, but I don’t think this guy was doing anything extreme. But I admit it’s not clear how far he’d followed her entourage before he was stopped or how far they were going.
Not exactly, he began to follow her then someone (obstensibly Meehan) pushed him into a railing. After he got up and tried to follow her, then someone (Meehan) got in his face.
