So what did he do that was pit-worthy?

BAM! That was my first thought when I saw the thread title.

Then I saw who started the thread and I thought “Oh, it’s one of those moronic jackass posters we’ve accumulated lately who hates everyone and everything and yet tries to self-describe as a leftist while arguing GOP talking points”.

Well, that only shows that you rely more on right wing sources of information, you should drop them before going to accuse others of being bad just because they point at how stupid it is to call Obama polarizing. The right wing made a sport about that and it is clear that they exaggerated or misled the American people, and continue to because a \*\*real \*\*\*\*divisive \*\*and \*\*polarizing \*\*candidate has come and the media has forgotten that they should call that to people like Trump.

That is because also in this issue you take the idiotic bigoted position that the right wing media also harps about.

If the day in and day out reporting from the right wing media was about misrepresentations were all Christians are condemned by the terrorist actions of a few of them it is clear that **iiandyiiii** would be defending the Christians. You are only looking at a very unfair action by the media and the right and assume that the ones pointing at the big picture are bad people. When you double down on that you only certify that you are the one with the problem, not **iiandyiiii**.

Thing is that even the much maligned GW Bush did understand that it would be a big mistake to malign all Muslims in the war against terror. he was right. And that was the the right wing position back then. If Trump becomes president he will make this issue much worse and much difficult to deal with in the future.

There should be a rule that new dopers below a certain age should have to read the entire posting history of **Qin Shi Huangdi** before posting anywhere other than MPSIMS. That ought to do it.

We’d all be grateful if you stopped making them. Seems like an ideal solution. Just go away and hang out at 4chan.

Sure you are, pal. Just like Genghis Khan. Since you’re too fucking stupid to actually be a deliberate troll, I think you’re actually just a kind of unwitting clueless troll – just a delusional idiot and a raving hateful bigot.

You go way beyond giving them a chance. You help trolls take over threads. If I ever put you on ignore, it will be for that.
