I almost had to jump down your throat for this, until I saw “not that we actually”.
BTW, how’s your collection? I’m up to 37 right now.
I had a good day at the polling stations. You just smile nice and ask people if they wouldn’t mind answering a few WHACK! Another one for the collection!
HEY! The first rule of Ear Club is: You don’t talk about Ear Club!
No thanks. You took the cake with the “sniff the sweaty nadsack” line. I cannot compete, I do not wish to, and further I applauded you for taking down the irrational (at the time) Dio.
However, let me refer you to my first post in this thread (#206):
Just say, “Yes, you’ve been wooshed.”
My second post in this thread (#207):
See? You’re still the asshole.
And I denied that where…?
I, too made out well at the polling places. I posed as an exit poller and asked people if they’d lend me their ear. 
Damn! I should have asked their party affiliation! Then I would have known to take the left ear or the right ear!
I only hope I live long enough to piss on that bastards grave. Think I can get Hilary to hold my beer for me?
Bitch will take your beer, guzzle most of it, and pass the spitty residue on to the masses.
Geez, I post a Democrat-slamming gloat post
IN A REPUBLICAN GLOAT THREAD,
and a pack of very depressed liberals want to come in and debate with Democrat doom and gloom talking points.
I couldn’t respond yesterday due to being very busy, and I don’t feel like responding to their usual crap anyways. If they think this is great debates, I’ll concede that they win and I’m now a filthy liberal. Now go away to the Democrat commiseration thread you communist- and terrorist-sympathizing sleazeballs.
Who was this Comrade December person? By the talk it sounded like a poster who got kicked out or something for being a too obnoxious conservative? He must have been effective if another conservative venting steam in the BBQ Pit gets suspected of being him/her.

You’re not a pimple on December’s ass.
Oh wow, you’re so great. I hope you decide to subscribe here at the humble SDMB. We were getting SUPER tired of directing all of our eyerolling at Brutus.
December was indeed effective. He would singlehandely smack the board lefties around, page after page in these drawn-out threads. They finally got him on a lame technicality.
The reason I say you are obviously not him is a difference in posting style. You do, however, cheese off the Obnoxious Left around here, and that is always a welcome addition, IMO, to these boards! Can’t let them turn this into another version of the DU boards…
What happened, as I recall, was that December posted a quote and either assailed or defended it. His resident enemies immediately took the opposite side, whichever it was, and defended or assailed it. He then revealed that the quote was from either Bill Clinton or Hillary, catching his opponents with their pants down, reacting like knee-jerk automatons, and going counter to one of their great heros. Well, naturally, they raised holy hell and started the mother of all pile-ons and pushed it until a mod had to do the equivalent of a mercy killing. It was a brilliant OP on his part, and the sourpusses got what they deserved. If they had relied on principle, rather than petty allegiances, they never would have fallen prey to the trick. But they accused him of trolling — basically by redefining the term to mean “person who pissed me off by out maneuvering me”. And he was banned.
Yup. That’s the way I remember it. But basically, I thnk the mods were looking for a reason to get rid of him, because he refused to back down and be cowed by the mob. I guess it never occured to anyone that maybe the problem was that they allowed a mob to form…
Gee, I dunno, guys. Wasn’t there something else, that you’re gliding over rather blithely? Something about the quotes being kinda bogus? I don’t remember it that well, not much giving a shit, but that sticks in my mental gizzard. You guys sure you got your facts straight?
Bah. It was a clever literary trick, and he made a simple grammatical mistake. A technicality.
A damned good way to put it.
Mirasawa, here’s the link:

Here’s the sort of righteous indignation he often generated. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=202886
No. It was because he was warned multiple times about trolling. I was actually someone who kind of liked December and defended him, but he violated the rules and ignored warnings. I hope we’re not going to start this martyring theme all over again.
Well, as Kwai Chang Caine once said, “to be cursed by a devil is to be truly blessed” Thanks.
I only read the first link above, and two pages of the second… but it sounds like this december person was quite the gadfly around here. The most egregious offense being that he posted too many OPs. I can understand getting banned for that. But for the limited time I’ve been here, the left-wingers are the usual mix of
1.“polite and understanding”,
2.“polite but intellectually bigoted”, and
3.“very rude”.
It’s not unexpected, it happens everywhere. In fact, I was was looking for a Democrat board with a large contingent of “number ones” as defined above, and I was directed to this board. However, "number two"s have been prevailing in Great Debates (it could be just a product of me showing up at the end of the election). And it seems the OPs in the Great Debates at the moment which are inflammatory trolling (or just amazingly ignorant) are mostly against Bush/Republicans/Conservatives.
But, this isn’t a december thread, so …
Woo hoo! Go team! This land did surely vote for us! Not the liberal we. ee. ners.
And I don’t see why Democrats feel compelled to post on this gloat thread. I’d understand if it were a Great Debate or Democrat discussion on how to win next time.

Was it Master Po who said “The butt you kick today is the ass you kiss tomorrow”?
Don’t forget, as you gloat, that if Bill Clinton could have run again, he would have buggered GeeDubya Turkish-style, and left him a $2 tip…
