Just like ten of you disingenuous, smarmy rightwing assholes on the same forum still doesn’t equal all Republicans, all mounting evidence to the contrary. So when the you reference ALL Republicans, then in fact one Republican speaks for all Republicans. When one liberal says something, he only speaks for himself. What a bunch of disingenuous horseshit… ---

> [@choie](#): > > Yeah, **Bricker** already tried that bullshit. The answer is still “no.” One person on a forum does not equal all liberals. Well of course not; we already know from another thread that a handfull of irrate Upper West Side-ers equals all liberals 😃 I have to say that it’s weird reading about stuff like this right after reading the various, “What should Republicans do now?” threads in GD. One minute I’m reading various descriptions of a theoretical Republican party that has reasonable positions and would provide a welcome counter-point to the Democrats; the next I read about the _actual_ Republican party and am reminded that lunatics and fanatics still reign. Of course, living in New York City I already knew that I wasn’t a “real American” anyway. True story; I had to turn in my “Real American” badge upon moving here from Michigan and everything. ---

> [@CircleofWillis](#): > > So when the OP references ALL Republicans, then in fact one Republican speaks for all Republicans. When one liberal says something, he only speaks for himself. What a bunch of disingenuous horseshit… Look, you ignorant asshat, do try reading for context, mmkay? My OP is talking about Republican politicians, obviously. They’re the one who are using talking points. (Although I must say you guys are doing your best to emulate them.) And can you show me where, pray, I called all Republicans unAmerican or said you don’t believe in God or hard work or achievements? And even if I _had_ said all this: _I am not an official, elected representative of my party speaking at a public event._ I understand this is a difficult concept for you to comprehend, but do try to keep up. These are actual representatives of the McCain campaign, from his running mate and his campaign workers to officials chosen by him to speak at his events, speaking as his vicar. I’m just a gal venting on a message board. The two are not remotely equivalent. If you genuinely can’t see the difference, you’re deeper in the quagmire of ignorance than you realize. ---

Personally, I hate fundamentalists. I doubt these people work particularly hard. Although many would consider them “real Americans”. Case it point (youtube and be careful, it is from English language Al-Jazerra :eek:): [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/zRqcfqiXCX0/maxresdefault.jpg "Misconceptions of Obama fuel Republican campaign") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRqcfqiXCX0) ---

> [@shy\_guy](#): > > Well of course not; we already know from another thread that a handfull of irrate Upper West Side-ers equals all liberals 😃 Ooh, I forgot about that! We’ve got them on the East Side too. I just went to a meeting of the Official Spokespeople for Godless Liberals over by Bloomies. It was cool, after plotting to overthrow the religious Real Americans we stopped off and got some lattes at the Starbucks across the street. > [@](#): > > I have to say that it’s weird reading about stuff like this right after reading the various, “What should Republicans do now?” threads in GD.

Yeah, one minute they can talk about how these fanatics don’t represent the real party, and the next they defend them and destroy the message.

Look you ignorant little fuckstain, get the blinders off your eyes and the JFK memorial dildo out of your ass and pay attention. Nowhere in your summary did you reference Republican politicians, you dumbfuck backtracking douchebag. You said .. and I motherfucking quote… “I’m sure Republicans will continue their hate-flinging, divisive ugliness, because that’s pretty much all they’ve got left”. Show me where in that sentence… or anywhere in that piece of shit OP where you stated that the fucking retard quoted only represents “Republican politicians”. Here’s a clue you dim little mongoloid, you can’t. You referred to Republicans as a whole…every. fucking. time. Here for your benefit is your quote. > [@choie](#): > > So, children, what have we learned so far from the Republicans? Of course, we already knew that Real Americans live in small towns. Now we can add to this knowledge the fact that Real Americans aren’t liberals – or at least, liberals aren’t Real Americans. Liberals also don’t work hard, and liberals don’t believe in God. Plus? Liberals _hate_ “real Americans” for doing all of the above. > > Where am I getting this from? Here’s the story. Continuing the rightwing’s vicious attack on .. well, anyone who doesn’t fit their narrow view of what is Good and Right and Real and American, a North Carolina rally for McCain on Monday opened as follows (_warning! irony overdose may result after reading the below quote!_): > > After this account was published in the Godless Commie Fake American City Observer – whoops, sorry, I mean the [New York _Observer_](http://www.observer.com/2008/politics/damn-polls-mccains-irreducibles-beg-differ) – Rep. Hayes vociferously denied having used these words. > > Later, when this story was repeated in [Politico’s The Crypt](http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/1008/GOP_Rep_Liberals_Hate_Real_Americans_That_Work_And_Achieve_And_Believe_In_God.html?showall), the blogger followed up with other reporters who were there, and sure enough, they said they heard it, too. Hayes’s spokesperson denounced the blog as irresponsible journalism. > > Alas, Hayes apparently never heard about this newfangled invention called AUDIO. (You can hear it in the link in the above paragraph; scroll down to the little audio controls at the bottom of the post.) > > Confronted by irrefutable evidence, Hayes now admits that he said it, but claims he doesn’t _remember_ saying it, and he was just trying to pump up the crowd. > > I must say that this is a good defense. Republicans are _great_ at pumping up crowds these days! Whipping up hatred and racism and even violence is just an unfortunate side effect, I guess. > > Is there any doubt that this is an intentional part of the narrative that the Republicans are trying to sell us: Small town good, big city/liberals bad?

Sarah Palin (R-AK) 10/17/08: We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) 10/17/08: What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out if they are pro-America or anti-America Nancy Pfotenhauer (R-McCain campaign) 10/18/08: I certainly agree that Northern Virginia has gone more Democratic. … But the rest of the state - real Virginia if you will - I think will be very responsive to Senator McCain’s message…Real Virginia, I take to be, this part of the state that’s more Southern in nature, if you will. Robin Hayes (R-NC) 10/20/08 : Liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God. So, the party is going down in flames and it’s response is to call people who disagree with them fake Americans? That if your fellow politicians have policy disagreements they should be investigated for being anti-American? That the majority of your fellow countrymen and women aren’t _really_ fellow countrymen and women but traitors, bums and are morally corrupt? What in the happy fuck is wrong with The Grand Old Party? Let me see if I can answer that question: They have selfish assholes like The RandBot on their side, defending the indefensible. Oh and I see CircleofJerk is in on it too. Go at it assholes, defend away! ---

If you really think that all republicans are bleating sheep then live with it. Recognition of your own ignorance is the first step to recovery. I’m not here to change your mind.

But the disingenuousness (that may not even be a word) is bullshit. At least be intelligent enough to know that, just because I don’t believe in the platform your party espouses or that I believe the best way to lead our country is not what your candidate proposes, doesn’t mean I am lockstep with every ideal that every person who purports to be a member of the party I support. The party I support has a lot of work to do and alot of cleaning up to do, so does yours. There are some real fucking nut jobs out there from both sides. I will work within my party to change the philosophy and approach, you do the same. At least, however, have the intelligence to know that not every member of my party is a Coulter or Limbaugh or.. what the fuck is the guy’s name?.. Hayes was it?. If you do however make that assumption and assume that every member of your party has a firm grasp of reality and is the single most enlightened and intelligent member of the human race with farts that smell like Rolos, well then you are retarded and need a hockey helmet. ---

Aw, **Willis** , you’ve got me all cryin’ on the inside about just how unfairly maligned you’ve been, being all associated with Republicans and everything. It’s simple. Either you’re part of the solution or part of the problem. Since you’re ready to throw a romper stomper temper tantrum with all the mean names you know because someone didn’t specify just which Republicans are douchebags, I’ll assume you are part of the problem. Why don’t you just get your binky and your blankie and go take a nap? Maybe later, at snack, you can look around to find out if the grown-ups made it all better. ---

Clue for the hard-of-thinking: **choie** meant a specific subset of Republicans. Glad I could clue you in.
