First there was the “lefties are only accusing Palin of being inexperienced because they’re sexist” bullshit.
Then there was the “Obama wants your kindergartners to learn how to fuck” bullshit.
And now in these very forums there is the Obama ridicules McCain for his disability" bullshit, claiming --in what appears to be all seriousness – that McCain is too disabled to use a computer and not that he has no fucking clue how to, as he has freely admitted.
That thread being in Great Debates causes me to limit my own real outrage to a soft little “disingenuous moron” crack. So what the hell, not that I’m back to the ol’ board, why not utilize it to its full worth.
St. Cad and Monty, you are both fucking stupid. No, you’re not stupid … you’re assholes.
You are duplicitous little fuckers willing to find this phony outrage over something you goddamned well know is bullshit, but fucked if you’re not sticking to your guns with arguments as well thought out as …
I said it in that thread. Saying someone who can handwrite and fly an airplane cannot type on a keyboard is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who is not mentally retarded.
In any case, the reason why he can’t button up his fly is totally irrelevant. Ok, so the guy was in Vietnam. We get it. But when you need a plumber to fix the faucet you want the guy who is qualified to do it not the guy who can’t do it but is going to tell you the reason he can’t do it is because he’'s a war hero. Ok, so give the man a fucking medal and call a real plumber!
I haven’t heard so much bullshit since the day after the senior prom when everyone was telling everyone who did who.
I like Obama, but I admit I am enjoying seeing the Democrats squirm.
A month ago they were in the White House, now they’re peeing in their pants and frothing at the mouth. In fact, some of the liberal members on this board show definate signs of rabies.
All because a little nobody from Alaska got called up for McCain’s veep slot.
Ah, c’mon, I’m sure you can think of a few megadumb past examples. Don’t hold back. Don’t be… niggardly.
How many people actually thought John Kerry was dissing the military when he made his “stuck in Iraq” quip? I know a lot of people said they thought that, but I bet they didn’t, really.
Different argument … and I don’t really want to hijack my own thread … but I don’t think the liberals here, or anywhere, were freaking out because of her being chosen. In fact, most were cackling with glee.
I think the conservatives have – through shit like phony outrage – managed to deflect actual concerns about both her experience and the issues to … “Ooooh, you’re scared of her.” This has put liberals on a this pseudo-defensive.
It’s pure Rovian spin if you ask me. Not saying the little fucker doesn’t know what he’s doing, but he’s still a cock-knob for pulling it.
I’ve also noted that the “you’re getting defensive/upset/rabid” is a standard tactic of both sides. I can see why - it’s an attack that needs no strength nor bravery nor facts to stage.
I very much disagree, I think it is running ahead of schedule, and has a higher level of really head shaking stupidity involved for the outside observers. But I am further off than you, perhaps you’re inured, like one of those frogs in hot water.
[*nb: this covers both parties although it does seem at present in the past 2 weeks the Republican party is really working hard to get ahead on the truly idiotic faux outrage for political gain, roll over and play whiny victim politics angle. I personally expect Center Left team however to catch up in the 2nd half, and around November the whole thing to go to “I’m more faux outraged than you” penalty kicks" shootout. *]
Here this last item is spot on (well I don’t know about Kerry, can’t recall that at all, no matter).
I can’t quite get the party political types that pretend to get all outraged about whatever. Now take this board, I’m just reading in the Great Debates [sic] Sam Stone go on about how’s he’s outraged or some such about the Qs asked of the Alaskan, and he can’t remember a politico being grilled on FP like that… ever, or something.
Now, on the face of it that’s just bollocks. Doesn’t one just lose a bit of self-respect even typing out such ridiculous hyperbole (unless of course he’s just an idiot, but that doesn’t seem to be the case).
Gotta agree with you: Aiming spitballs at McCain regarding the degradation of his fine motor skills as a result of his involuntary incarceration in North Vietnam’s finest facilities is beyond the Pale.
What bothers me more is that (according to Wiki) he somehow managed to find himself in three “incidents” (which included two crashes and a powerline entanglement) yet still got combat carrier qualifications.
I’m sure his stellar training run had nothing to do with getting shot down, but he’s been riding on those coattails of incompetence for coming on 40 years now.
See? SEE? That fucking Canuck called Obama a NIGGER!
dropzone, manufacturing phony outrage since 1968.
However, the lies from the McCain camp have been so far beyond the pale they are clear in another country. McCain and Palin should be ashamed that their good names are being used like they are, but they are not. I guess that means they deserve none of my respect because they are (wait for it) evil.
Sorry, Pubs, but that’s the word that comes up when I do my math.
The real outrage is the fact Sen. Obama didn’t fire the fucking idiot who thought it was wise to further alienate 21% of the population that doesn’t email, or use the web.
You have to be computer literate to be cool? As I said before this ad made me sad, it isn’t his finest hour. He went from change, to same ol’ shit different politician.
