As always it’s unicorns and wizards…and I have been gone for years and didn’t even read the thread. (I like the spell check it will save me a lot of grief. Can we get grammar and logic check? I guess that would discriminate against too many…)
No, Lobo, you don’t get it. You never have, you never will. Where the fuck do you get off spouting bullshit about me being “angry and bitter”, or that “greedy people are stealing from me”? Or that my “‘way of life’ is under attack”?
The fact that every single political post you make is full of loathing, venom and hatred? Unfounded loathing venom and hatred, sure, but it’s there.
You think that the government is overtaxing you, right?
I just assumed because you’re a crazy person, and that’s the kind of stuff the freepers wail about.
I was frankly surprised by the GAO’s specificity.
[Cue Monty Python]
Tonight on ‘It’s the Mind’, we examine the phenomenon of deja poo. That strange feeling we sometimes get that we’ve heard this shit somewhere before…

In GD, on a board that actually believed in fighting ignorance, you would not be permitted to post a link to a multi–page PDF and claim it supported you. You would be required to quote relevant passages or identify page numbers.
Because this is not GD, it’s on the SDMB, and your argument supports liberals, you are free from the pressure that this tactic would create.
I am not going to accept that. If you want to use it as a cite, then do so – correctly. Otherwise, as far as I am concerned, I have read every page and none of them support you.
Can an interpreter make sure I understand the Brickhead’s utterance? It does look like English but mostly reminds me of Soviet communiqués as Roosevelt described them to Churchill: “I have decided they do not use speech for the same purposes as we do.”
and earlier
Is this the GAO report that Bricker is still talking about, more than a month after it was mentioned?? Can you imagine what even his apple-polished 4th-grade debate coach would have done to him, still whining that he was too lazy to read a 2-page report summary after 5 weeks? (Of course the Brickdiot has to call a 2-page report a “multi-page report” 
:smack: )
The guy represents himself as some expert on voter ID and refuses to read the most relevant report. His posts on the topic number in the THOUSANDS but reading the most relevant 2-page report is beneath his dignity. Wow!! In defense of Bricker, I assume his view is that the GAO is part of teh Eevul gummint, and he’s waiting for the authoritative FoxNews summary.
Of course he’ll move the goalposts after we do his homework for him – he’ll want us to connect the dots between full report and summary --but I want it on record that we were willing to spoon-feed this incontinent creature.
[QUOTE=GAO: Issues Related to State Voter Identification Laws]
GAO’s analysis suggests that the turnout decreases in Kansas and Tennessee beyond decreases in the comparison states were attributable to changes in those two states’ voter ID requirements…
GAO found that turnout was reduced by larger amounts:
• among registrants, as of 2008, between the ages of 18 and 23 than among registrants between the ages of 44 and 53;
• among registrants who had been registered less than 1 year than among registrants who had been registered 20 years or more; and
• among African-American registrants than among White, Asian-American, and Hispanic registrants.
… GAO believes its methodology was robust and valid as, among other things, GAO’s selection of treatment and comparison states controlled for factors that could significantly affect voter turnout, and GAO used three data sources it determined to be reliable …

I’ve made this summary very very short since it apparently lacks the attention span to read even 2 pages. If it wants a full 1-page summary of the 2-page summary, I give up.
Personal, sad anecdote: When I first came to SDMB five years ago, I distinctly recall reading a few Bricker posts and thinking “Wow, an intelligent conservative! I thought that was an oxymoron. … This must be a good message board for useful debate.”
I don’t know whether I just caught him on good days in 2009, or he has some intelligent neighbor who borrows his account. But since then I’ve learned that Bricker is just as pompous and hypocritical as the slimiest stupidest right-winger in the drunk tank.
But am I bovvered?
That was about the 11,000th post I’ve read saying pretty much the same thing.
Everyone figures it out eventually.
Of all the interesting things in this thread, I find it most odd that Americans are familiar with Catherine Tate. Outside of Doctor Who, anyway. Did they show her show over there?
I know Tate from Dr. Who and from the American version of the office. I wasn’t familiar with this Lauren Cooper character, but after reading her description on Wikipedia:
… it makes perfect sense that Bricker would repeatedly quote her. If anyone was like a 15 year old school girl feeling defensive and embarrassed, it would be Bricker.
Yup. BBC America. Innit though?
Are you disrespecting my family?
Does your family post here? Are they like you?
Then I probably am.
Thanks for showing your utter ignorance. Lobo, I really don’t need to put up with bullshit from someone like you who is dumber than my toenail fungus. Congratulations on being such a total asshole that you have become the first person on my ignore list.
Wait, your toenail fungus is smarter than I am? Would you mind letting it post for awhile?
If he is, then what? Pistols at dawn?
For what it’s worth, I don’t see anything in his comment specifically critical of your family - possibly it could be interpreted as a dig at your parents for raising you to turn out the way you did.
Clothahump must have a lot of toenail fungus if he’s sufficiently compiled its IQ stats to offer comparisons to various posters here. I’m guessing he hears it talking to him, offering insights from which he distills his political views.
Well, fungus and Fox.
It’s another quote to the character he’s using “Am I bovvered?” from.
Septimus, to be ruthlessly fair, he did say that he had read the report, he simply insists that his comprehension of what it says is at variance with our own. His refusal to explain further is a principled stance, defending the Pit tradition of propriety, civility, courtesy and decorum. And masturbating like a mothafuck.
We cannot truly know whether these statements are sincere without peering into his mind, a prospect as inviting as browsing Vlad the Impaler’s Facebook page.
