Oh! So they were just saying stuff like “Its easy to vote in America, you just walk up to the polling place as a registered voter, and in a few hours time, you get to vote.” Going for the semantic trap door escape hatch, are you?
“Why, no, I didn’t suggest there was anything wrong with what they were saying, they were just saying is was easy to vote in America, they just happened to be saying it to illegal aliens!”
And I’m sure we can expect your victorious laughter if it ever come to pass that Democrats, Socialists or Monarchists lie to their own workers in hopes some will be fooled, voters blocked, and the party win.
From the Great Debates thread. Post number 226, as we were discussing the near impossibility of an organized voter fraud effort. Slightly different story, this time they are only “people”, not “illegal aliens”. But the implication of CASA volunteers fostering voter fraud is clear. After all, we were talking about organized voter fraud when you brought it up.
Odd that you didn’t tell us then that they were illegal aliens. Did you find out later? Or was it two entirely separate incidents, one just “people” and the other “illegal aliens”? Go to a lot of CASA functions, do you?
I used to go to a lot of CASA functions, yes. And of the number of “people” in the group, at least four were, to my personal knowledge, not currently in this country legally. This is a civil violation, not a crime. But the fact remains that I reported precisely accurately what I heard.
And you know what’s simultaneously hilarious and pathetic? For all your insinuations that I fabricated this event, if I had video of it and released it, you’d criticize me for violating their confidence and hurting their cause.
Honestly: suppose I showed you a video of this and asked you if I should make it public. What would you advise me?
Funny how all your “mistakes,” break the same way.
Actually, I know, it’s not. When you see something that validates your preconceptions, you run with it. When you see something that runs counter to your preconceptions, you investigate it thoroughly.
That’s why you hang out on a message board dedicated to fighting ignorance, right?
That’s great stuff. In my full time job, I certainly try to do that. But this isn’t my full time job – I do this for fun (as do most Dopers). And like most Dopers, I have limited time to spend on the Dope. So we spend it doing fun stuff. Fun stuff on the Dope, for me, inclues arguing with people about topics we disagree on. “fun stuff” does not include poring over the arguments of those who agree with me to find out their weak points. It’s not fun.
Maybe it’s fun for you. Or maybe you have enough time to devote to the Dope that it might as well be a full time job (note – you probably don’t… I’m pretty sure you’ve talked about your job as a lawyer). But for most of us, we’re going to do what’s fun – and in this thread, arguing with Bricker is fun. Poring over all the other side arguments is not fun. So I’m not going to do it.
Wow. For all the veneer of civility you’ve affected over the years, when the mask is off you really are just a hateful, spiteful little man, aren’t you?
I actually thought you’d been unfairly maligned by some posters at times, but the scales have fallen from my eyes.
No, but it specifies, yes? No one doubted that they were people.
You brought it up specifically as a rebuttal to my point about the impossibility of organized voter fraud. Your exact words are on display, you said that all that would have been needed was an understanding in the community to further the cause of illegal voting, and offered us this example.
It wasn’t about illegal voting? Then why did you say it? Squirm harder.
Please submit your Certificate of Telepathy for our inspection.
But that aside, yes, indeed, I am a very bad person. But I’m not the guy who said this stuff. You are.
