I guess it’s somewhat of a testament to the poster in question that he gets Pitted, and an AGW debate breaks out. 
Well, you forgot [del]Poland[/del] Honduras…
Well, I for one think that Sam Stone (no relation) is a patriotic Canadian. You see, Americans like me think of Canadians as generally much nicer and more polite and civilized (with that thar health care thingy) than the average American. But all the wonderful Canadians I meet assure me that this is not so, that the average Canadian is just as misinformed, stupid, meddling and rude as the average American because of this one guy in Alberta who is such a jackwad that he single-handedly brings down the national average in all those categories. I nod knowingly and say that yes, I know about Sam Stone, thank God he is persona non grate in the good ol’ US of A. He tried to move to Lompoc, California once, but the prison inmates called the imminent decline in property values to the attention of the local authorities, who put a nix on that idea. Seriously, Sam Stone is so stupid that when retarded people read the political propaganda he leaves on bathroom walls they roll their eyes and mocking mouth “durp de doo!” under their breath.
Sam Stone is such a Canadian patriot that he speaks a dialect of French known only to Scottish sailors who have retired to Nova Scotia.
When Sam Stone heard that Gore Vidal called William Buckley a fascist, Sam said: “Buckley wishes!”
When Hayak wrote his economic theory, Milton Friedman told him to dumb it down and put it only in the form of a comic book because Sam Stone wasn’t going to get the more subtle straw men and excluded middles anyway.
When Sam Stone tried to make a lunch date to meet Ayn Rand back in the 70s, Rand was heard to remark: “where are the soup kitchens when you really need them?”
After Bush II left office his first public speech was in Alberta, and Sam Stone tried to have his picture taken with Bush at the event, and Bush turned him down saying: “you must be at least as smart as Sarah Palin to be photographed with me.”
My pittings always turn into parties. No one can stay mad at me once they find out I have the best weed in the place.
Pass the Bong, I need to celebrate today’s news: 
And also:
I’ve heard of BC Bud, pass the Alberta Awesome.
Incidentally, for everyone here who hasn’t been to Alberta, it is one of the most spectacular places in the world for scenery. And the people are wonderful.
Yes.
Yes.
Cite? And cite?

I suppose opening his posts by thoroughly poisoning the well by defining the experts dishonestly gave pause. He defined people as Obama backers who were not. He lumped them as liberal which some are not. So his first step gets people a little annoyed.
I picture him surfing right wing sites all day while Fox runs in the background,as he looks for yet another argument that Obama is destroying the world. But it is clear that is what he is trying to do. He is horribly slanted and it shows. That is why his arguments will not be treated as a fair and honest debate. He makes it impossible.
The first reaction when he opens a post is"here he goes again". What kind of right wing slanted screed are we about to read this time.
Well, he’s just an excitable boy…
Come on, guys. Give up on the BS about him being Canadian and that US politics is basically none of his business. That’s just a red herring, and detracts from the real reason for this thread. Just drop it.
Oh, God. Now THAT’s worth pitting Canadians over.
I am so, so sorry. First, we inflicted Celine Dion on you. Now this. Our bad.
I’m sorry, but Zevon references belong in Cafe Society. Run along.
You know, if you’re going to get your panties in a bunch over my ‘dishonesty’, you could at least make your own post accurate.
At no time did I call any of them a liberal.
And the only incorrect things I wrote were:
-
That Mort Zuckerman wrote a speech for Obama. I don’t think this is an egregious error, because I heard the claim straight from Zuckerman’s mouth on The McLaughlin Group. John Mace pointed out that he lied about it. That’s hardly my fault. But that was just a side comment anyway. The real point is that Zuckerman was an Obama supporter. The whole thesis of the thread was “Things must be getting pretty bad if the people who actually supported Obama are writing such critical Op-Eds.” That doesn’t change if Zuckerman didn’t actually write a speech. He still supported Obama.
-
I said that all three were Obama supporters. In fact, two of them WERE Obama supporters, and the third was a supporter of Obama’s stimulus. This is not exactly a huge error. I made the mistake of assuming that the guy supported Obama in general, when In fact he had only supported a policy. But he still was willing to give Obama his support at one point. Still, an error on my part.
But you couldn’t even get that right. Instead I get characterized as being dishonest (I think you can see that these were honest errors), and then you don’t even get your own facts straight even though my post is sitting right there, easy for you to check.
Should I start calling you dishonest?
A) Coming from you, this is hilarious.
B) I work during the day.
C) I don’t read a whole lot of right-wing blogs. I occasionally (as in once every couple of days) check on National Review and Reason Magazine. I also check the Drudge Report, and sometimes Instapundit as news aggregators. Other than that, pretty much the only blogs I read are run by economists. Some left wing, some right wing, some apolitical.
D) I never watch Fox news, except for occasionally “Red Eye” if I’m up late enough. It’s a comedy show. I do watch “The Daily Show” every day, though. I’m such a partisan bitch.
E) Change ‘right wing’ to ‘left wing’, and you just described 3/4 of the participants of Great Debates.
Of course. Because, you know, people don’t agree with me. Because this board slants heavily to the left. And of course, anything I post that disagrees with what you believe in is going to be defined as a ‘partisan’ post.
That’s Dr. Krugman to you.
Remember, he’s a Doctor. With a doctorate!! He wrote a thesis and everything.
I guess I was too oblique, but I consider you the paragon of “intelligent non-liberal poster”. As opposed to my other example.
Holy fuck this is rich. Not only have you broken my irony meter you have caused it to go into runaway meltdown mode.
Congratulations.
