I think people are oddly overvaluing this avoidance behavior. I think some kind of acknowledgement of wrongness would be more impressive than just being an ass in a different way.
It might lead to some kind of learning and thence to not being constantly wrong.
I don’t know. I guess I’d give Adaher a bit of a pass here. His post humorously harkens back to his being wrong about the presidential election and then disappearing for a few months, so it is an acknowledgment of wrongness. Its humor doesn’t negate it, at least in my opinion.
Yeah! Props to Adaher for polluting the board with his fabricated controversy threads and his idiotic conservative takes on current events. Great Debates has never been more worthwhile!
Maybe the first time. Repeating the joke seems like an acknowledgement that he wants to hang around without recognizing that he is wrong.
I mean, it’s fine with me if he doesn’t want to change. His stupidity is fucking hilarious. I just wouldn’t be patting him on the back for it myself
OK, this was good.
Indeed.
New porn classic: Lara does Benghazi!
Come on, you were thinking it too.
All right, but you should have been!
Not to poop on anyone’s Lara Logan parade, she sure is pretty, but I feel sympathetic to her in a weird kid-gloves kind of way. She was gang raped while covering the uprising in Egypt.
I realize she has healed, and is back in front of the cameras, but …I don’t know.
It’s not a stigma, and maybe it’s my hangup, but I just feel much sympathy for her.
Sorry for the interruption, don’t mind me…
Every public figure is at least two people: the public figure and the human being. This is not a condition generally forced upon the unwilling, but one that is strived for and struggled for. No doubt easier if you are smoking hot, I have no way of knowing.
I have no doubt that if she should rescind her restraining order, I would offer what human support and sympathy she might wish. Nonetheless, I would counsel that human being that her public persona offers aid and sympathy for the Forces of Darkness, and she should find something better to do.
That’s a pretty low hurdle for me. I also like riding a bicycle without a seat more than I like Bricker.
Good show, adaher. Rather than backtrack and try desperately for ways to parse words that make it seem like you’re still right, you eat your crow with a sense of humor.
He’s not eating crow- just running away. He’ll be pushing the same bullshit next week if not this afternoon.
As long as he’s willing to own up [del]if[/del] when he turns out to be wrong, good for him.
Yeah, that’s more than most do, righty or lefty.
And even to this day, they aren’t one bit grateful! Some people…
Just to prove there’s no horse too dead to beat when adaher is involved, McClatchy News Service is now pointing out even more substantive problems with the 60 Minutes report: Link.
The other issues raised include:
It’s a fairly lengthy article, but there seem to be more pretty substantive embellishments in the 60 Minutes piece just coming to light.
Jesus Marimba! I already thought it was pretty bad, but apparently I set my sights waaay too low!
Really? I’ve seen Bricker admit to being wrong much more often than adaher. And better yet, Bricker is much less likely in general to argue from demonstrable false evidence.
I mean, if you’re sole criteria is “Which poster is easier to humiliate in a debate,” sure, adaher is your man, but that’s a pretty soft standard.
