Only two thousand five hundred and forty seven more days, Dio.
Well, yeah, but she’s 11 years old. Wearing inane symbols is pretty much par for the course.
Ok fair enough, but I bet most of the people in this thread have posted on the DailyKos. If I complain about one thing and then Diogenes posts something contradictory as it regards another subject on the DailyKos does that make me a hypocrite for complaining about it in the first place? Basically the point being how do you know that the people saying the attacks on Palin’s children might not also be the ones saying that attacks on Malia are distasteful? I am on record on this message board as saying that all attacks on all children are distasteful whether it be Palin, Obama or Chelsea Clinton in the 90s. If someone read my saying that attacks on Malia Obama are in poor taste and some random person read it, they might say we’re all hypocrites because we thought it was ok to attack Palin’s daughters, but that’s not so, I am not a hypocrite because I spoke out about attacks on Palin’s daughters as well.
Then point out those individuals who have the same user names. But **SenorBeef **nails it on the head. This whole gotcha thing where all people are painted with the brush because they have overlapping ideology is beyond stupid.
There was virtually no dissent in the thread in question, so if it’s your position that freepers are so widely diverse in their opinions, then where was the dissent?
This is fatuous.
Ya know, I was gonna ask about that. Is the username a reflection of your deep and abiding admiration for a bloodthirsty, warmongering asshole, or just an attempt to bait DFH like myself?
I think it’s the fact that she is a nigger and has moved into an exclusive neighborhood and brought down the property values.
Another difference is that Bristol is an adult.
Yeah, I was wondering about that myself. He made a fairly nuanced and reasoned post in Great Debates and I couldn’t wrap my mind around the cognitive dissonance. It’s interesting that he took the name of one of the most detestable cold-warriors around. The human race is lucky that we had people like Albert Wohlstetter to save us from monsters like Curtis LeMay.
Another difference is that if we are referring to the comment by David Letterman, he wasn’t talking trash about Bristol.
The issue isn’t whether there’s dissent in that thread, but whether the same people posting this opinion also posted outrage at the supposed attacks on Palin’s kids (which were ridiculous accusations btw).
If everyone in that thread is of the opinion that insulting kids is fine, then there’s no hypocrisy, just douchebaggery.
It’s not my intent to defend the freepers, btw. They’re usually looney fuckwits. I just don’t generally like the “The people who X are the same people who Y” device.
I know, you should see my gut.
Er, wait…checks dictionary.com
Bastard.
LOL Beef.
I haven’t. I’ve never even read it.
A number of the posters making the derogatory and racist statements about Malia have also whined and complained about the alleged attacks on Sarah Palin’s family. No presumptions are necessary. Each poster has a history.
Yeah, he was. She’s the one who got herself pregnant by being abstinent, right?
Does the pope know about this?
They have the same user names as those who whine about imaginary attacks on Palin’s children.
As I said, I’m not just profiling a message board, I literally recognize a lot of the same user names who are outraged about alleged attacks on Palin’s family.
Okay, in that case your use of “the same people” is valid. In my experience, 95%+ of the time it’s generalizations without actually meaning “the same people”.
By all means, keep bashing the douchebaggery.
It’s public housing anyway, so that doesn’t matter.
I kid, I kid!
But the application process just to get on the waiting list is a stone-cold bitch.
Who gives a fuck?
No, really.
It’s just some faceless iterwebs assholes who don’t mean shit to me.
