Democratic bigotry in denouncing the "Southern Strategy"

You seem to be handling Sparky just fine on your own, plus I was away from the thread when you and he revived it anyway. FTR, I disagree with a hell of a lot of what he claimed, particularly that the GOP is “racist,” which in my book is not the same thing as willing tyo cynically pander to racists.

Really? Like what?

Your [evidentiary criteria] is bullshit, as a number of us explained back on page 1. I ain’t playing by your preferred rules, because your preferred rules are unreasonable and unattainable. But whether you like it or not, the examples I and others have provided are evidence of pandering to bigots. Your nitpicky point throughout has been that they are not conclusive proof of such pandering. Yep. So what?

I was in bed, goddammit. What the hell do you want me to do about it? IANAM.

The rectum from which a craptacular assertion of fact is pulled matters not. Whether it came from your ass or somebody else’s, it still smells pretty stinky. Get some real cites if you want to have a real discussion.

No, I have not argued at all that the Democratic examples offered have been exceptions. What I’ve been arguing is that most of them are false, vastly overblown, or simply irrelevant. The father of a former Democratic representative? Huh?

You accused me of being a liar for misstating a cite.

In that accusation you make the same type of misstatement. Do I call you a liar, or do I just assume it’s a mistake?

Then after you do that you’re not in the “mood” to “forgive” me because of my willingness to mistate facts???

Total hypocrisy.

You sit there and call me a liar, when you did the exact same thing.

Like I said. Take your-high handed hypocrisy and step off like you said you would 6-7 pages ago. That is, if you’re not a liar.

Mere hyperbole. Surely you understand?

And I cannot find the slightest bit of evidence in support of the Al Gore photography thing. Are you still standing behind the blogcite?

Understand what? Your habit of casually calling me a liar every time I make a mistake?

Twice I misstated. Twice I immediately corrected it.

In the same post where you acknowledge your identical mistake to mine, you hold my ass to the fire insisting I’m a liar because of my willingness to misstate facts.

But that itself is a lie. It happened twice. I corrected it.

You’re lying when you call me a liar. It’s blatant hypocrisy because you hold yourself to a different standard while you moralize and talk down to me.

You owe me a full retraction and apology.

I’ll apologize if you assure me of the following:

That you had no intent to deceive, mislead, or stretch the truth when you posted that “Gore reportedly told black secret service agents to stay away because he didn’t want them to be photographed with him” and that “[Gore] sat there in the company of racist jokes and did nothing about it.”

If you had no such intent, and they were honestly made assertions of fact, then I should not have called you a liar.

I mean, come on, not even your blogcite claims “repeatedly.”

Do you think I was such an idiot that I would post the cite that proves I’m wrong immediately following a deliberate lie?

If I was lying then why wouldn’t I lie now?

If you have a doubt, don’t aplogize. Go debate December.

I’m not going to play games swearing my innocence to hold to a standard you don’t hold yourself to.

Assume good faith or don’t. Stand by your accusation, or retract it and apologize.

Your answer will appear presently in another forum.

Whatever. I’m not goning to protest my innocence over casual accusations that should never have been made.

Whatever, indeed.

Why don’t you two get a room?

We did, Sparky.

He’s on your side, you know?

Anybody on yours?

Logic, Truth, Consistency, and Bob Cos.

Logic: 0
Truth: borderline
Consistency: well, that is one out of three.

Gigo:

You forgot Bob Cos. He’s been a 10. If “borderline” equals a 5, and consistency equals 10, that gives me an eight point something final score. A solid B!

That’s pretty good considering that if this is the Olympics you’re the Russian Judge.

I guess that means I win.

Ooops. 6.25 actually. A solid D.

No medal from you.

Damn Russian.

That was a FRENCH judge.

As another philosopher said: if you have to lie you need to have a good memory.

No. I meant and said RUSSIAN Judge.

as still another philosopher said: When you assume, you make an ASS out o U and Me.
