Is it your belief that I should just stoically have taken all that abuse and not returned it?
Of course I am being absurdly unfair here. I am making broad and unsupported attacks against liberals,conflating the actions of a few with the general policies of all, unfairly construing opposing arguments. I’ve been doing that in this thread for a couple of weeks. Why, do you imagine, might I do this?
And having done it, why admit it?
Because you’re about to come out as a deep-cover liberal?
Because you’re attempting to justify being a vomitous pustule?
The problem you are running into is, when you do this, they think you’re a dick. And when they do it, it’s because they think your’re a dick. Lose-lose for you really.
(Not advocating this position, just that I could see that happening when you started changing your posting style in this thread)
I’ve stuck up for Bricker on occasion. It’s a fruitless, thankless effort.

That does suggest I’m a liberal, yes.
Yes, that’s true, but frankly, I grew tired of taking crap and remaining calm. You saw me change posting style – what would you have recommended?
Is the irony here deliberate?
while watching the normal “I don’t agree with your morals, so that is not an argument I find compelling” switch to “Neener, neener, ID’s are required bitches!” was quite funny a few times, I doubt anyone is going to change anyone on the other “side”'s mind about this issue. Not sure what I would have done. Maybe agree to disagree? Move on to a thread discussing the new sexiest man alive?
Since we’re playing the “everything not literally true is a lie from a liar” game, this post is a lie from a liar.
Emphasis added. I was stone-cold wrong about all reports on this stemming from a single source–even though, if true, the claim would have undermined the liberal side and supported the conservative side.
“It shows the possibility of organized voter fraud.”
No, it does not. Because there is not now, nor has there been any such possibility, for reasons we discussed at great length. As a practical means to subvert an election, it is nonsense.
Which is why you abandoned that line of bullshit to latch desperately on to the absurdly abstract arithmetic of super-dooper close elections. And, as is your habit, pretended that such was your position all along.
Now as to the legality, damn near every idjit on this Board knows that conspiracy to commit an illegal act is also illegal. So, unless you’d like to eat your inference that you witnessed a volunteer encouraging illegal aliens to vote, thereby committing a crime, this statement is clearly absurd.
That leaves the option of claiming that you were simply relating an anecdote from a long and colorful life, an anecdote that had no connection whatever with the discussion of the moment. And in complete innocence, inadvertently implied nefarious plotting by CASA. Batting the big brown innocent eyes, cold puppy in the rain…
Trouble with that is, you said “It shows the possibility of organized voter fraud. That’s why I said it”.
You should have paid the two dollars. And stopped digging. But, as usual, you didn’t.
Take the high road. It’s usually the best course of action.
It could sway the result of an ultra-close election.
Don’t even try.
A conspiracy requires an agreement amongst two or more people to commit an illegal act. If I explain to you how to open a locked safe, that’s not conspiracy.
And if I explain to you how easy it is for a non-citizen to vote without getting caught, that’s not a crime either.
As I have already pointed out, I have done exactly that on these very boards.
That’s not conspiracy. Conspiracy requires an agreement.
Moron.
This thread began in 2012.
I have only very recently decided to wade in the same filth as the uberlibs here.
Prior to that, can you explain how my patiently explaining, over and over again, in the face of filthy dishonesty was the “best course of action?”
Because so far as I can tell, it wasn’t. It merely emboldened the liars, and the decent people on the left ignored the sins of their fellow travelers.
Taking the high road in this situation could be you stating your position clearly, correcting factual errors, and leaving the rest alone. Not every post requires or deserves a response.
Oh. Excuse, have to empty my drooling cup, just take a moment…Where was I? Oh!
Do we take it that you deny suggesting, inferring or insinuating that CASA volunteers were deliberately counseling illegals on how to break the law? Gonna go for the “innocent puppy” gambit?
Pull the other one, it has bells. Pull the middle one, give you a nickel.
But weren’t you saying that you were mistaken about Bricker? He has been an asshole for a long time; it’s not my fault that I caught on before you did.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but you convinced me of the legitimacy (if not the accuracy) of a number of conservative viewpoints.
I’m not sure what turning yourself into a clone of the assholes you despise is meant to accomplish, though.
ETA: Unless you’re talking about your behavior specifically in this thread, which is over 157 pages long and several years old. Anyone sane, left or right, stopped reading it ages ago.
I have no idea. Enlighten us.
I’m crossposting a link given in another thread.
Brickshit and the other Republiopaths pretend to believe that voter suppression programs are non-discriminatory because citizens, regardless of race, will receive equal treatment from officials. I’d ask the Republiopaths to either admit they’re lying or to click the above link, and repeat their claim.
If one could fully confront Brickshit in person, I imagine we’d be reminded of a scene from Chinatown:
“I’m stupid!”
(slap)
“I’m lying!”
(slap)
“I’m stupid!”
(slap)
“I’m lying!”
(slap)
“I’m stupid and I’m lying!” (breaks into sobs)
