Rush, Rush, Rush... liberals are equivalent to murderers and rapists?

That is so, but the substance of their argument is correct, if not the spirit.

Common legal tactic. Ignore whether or not the complaint/charge/whatever is valid and build your case around a procedural error or whatever.

This is a really good post. Well done, and thanks.

I’m not really interested in dissecting the arguments of Rand Rover and Shodan. I’m not interested in dissecting the arguments of infant anal rapists. I’m not interested in dissecting the arguments of labrador jizz felching whistle dicks. I don’t care why they argue the way they do. All that matters is defeating them.

Hey, I am!

As I mentioned, it wouldn’t be possible to explain to you (absent waterboarding).

You can’t explain something to someone who isn’t listening. Stoid posted a misleading thread title, you saw the subject, and you fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. And you are prepared to fight for your knee-jerk response like grim death.

It’s like the thread about Sarah Palin explaining what a Vice-President does. Several pages of people explaining, over and over again, that what she said was quite correct and accurate. Followed by other dolts posting, with equal persistence, “NO!!! SHE’S WRONG!! SHE’S STUPID!! FUCKYOU!” Etc., etc.

Which can be amusing on a certain level, but I have to be in the right frame of mind. Maybe later, but maybe not.

Stoid is probably in a bad mood, because she lost her pornography business to the only guy in California willing to get on top of her, and her attempts at a real-life reenactment of Erin Brockovich aren’t going so well, so she started this to get some affirmation from the Usual Suspects.

Which is fine, as far as it goes. It just doesn’t go very far.

Eh, you’re just feeling bitter because she turned you down. :smiley:

Well, you’re in luck, then!

Not a chance! The woman on the phone said her name was Tiffany, she was 18, and she was waiting only for me!

And that was BEFORE she asked for my credit card number!

You people are idiots.

I’m sorry to be so blunt, but I’m kind of pissed off this morning for reasons having nothing to do with anyone here, but what the fuck.

The people screaming that Shodan and Rand Rover is wrong are idiots for not acknowledging that Rush did not, in fact, say that liberals are equivalent to rapists and murders. As they point out, he simply drew a comparison on one point: the motive, he says, of a liberal is irrelevant. He just wants liberals stopped. Similarly, the motive of a murderer or a rapist is irrelevant; he just wants them stopped.

Now, Rand Rover and Shodan are also idiots for failing to acknowledge the undeniable: Rush picked “rapists and murderers” to draw his analogy rather than, say, mimes or reality TV producers or people who talk loudly during movies or… any of a hundred different actors whose motives are ALSO irrelevant but should be stopped. He picked rapists and murderers for the obvious reason of drawing a blatant yet deniable comparison.

So much of this board consists of poorly trained, kneejerk debaters talking past one another. I’m sick of it. No, Rush did not say they’re equivalent. And yes, he picked the comparison as a snide way of placing liberals in execrable company without explicitly doing so. Yes, Rush is also an idiot.

Debate solved. Now go away, everyone, you make me sick.

Oh, that’s funny. That’s rich. Ho ho. A joke about torture. This is what passes for Republican humor?

You may have missed where RNATB actually did explain it and I accepted it. If you’d stop going on and on about how I’m just so godawful stupid and actually engage me like a fucking human being, you might find me willing to listen.

Fair enough, Bricker.

I like food processors better than mimes.

Hell, I like Shodan better than mimes.

deleted.

Wasn’t there a Tom Tomorrow strip once with that theme?

Nope. Back to Reading Comprehension 101!

Thanks, Bricker! Well done!

I liked it when Shodan was beaten by a mime for talking loudly during a movie.

Bah. A distinction without a difference. Okay, contrary to the thread title, he didn’t say that liberals were equivalent to murderers and rapists. He plainly insinuated that liberals were comparable to murderers and rapists.

An insinuation supported by a rock-solid innuendo.

The mime got away with it. The arresting officer failed to warn him he had the right to remain silent.

Shodan
