Cripes, Daniel, if this is the sort of thing you object to when you call me intellectually dishonest, remind me to dismiss it out of hand the next time you make the charge.
Stop conflating claims.
DtC explicitly asked for an instance of some regular calling Republicans racists, which is exactly what I provided. If you are asking for instances of DtC calling anything that even hints at opposition to gay marriage bigotry, I am sure that can be provided. Although instances of his calling Kerry the Democrat a bigot for opposing gay marriage seem to be few and far between.
You’re damn right he’s a “sissy and a hypocrite”. He’s a sissy because he started this lame-ass Pitting of me because his feelings were hurt. And why? Because I disbelieved one of the most hysterically dishonest Bush-haters on the SDMB when he claimed he was entirely controlled by fair-mindedness. He’s a hypocrite because he has blatantly, repeatedly lied thru his teeth about what he has said he thinks.
He’s also a sissy because of the glaring discrepancy between the level of invective he habitually employs against others, and the tender-hearted sensitivity he expects in return. He can post shit about how he wants Reagan’s corpse to be dug up and sodomized, and then starts a whiney-assed Pitting because I refuse to take his claims of impartiality at face value. He’s also a hypocrite because he has never said word one about attacks from the Left that are just as biased and dishonest as anything coming from the Right.
What, you want more cites? Read practically anything lissener or spectrum or Homebrew or Demostyles or rjung have ever posted on Ashcroft or gay marriage or Republicans in general.
“Important lessons” my hairy ass. Same shit as always.
Somebody needs more fiber in his diet. I didn’t accuse you of intellectual dishonesty above; although you’re sometimes prone to it, I don’t think you were, above.
And did you notice where I said he overreached? Hmm? I recognized that you provided what he asked for; I think he was asking for the wrong thing.
Neither I nor Dio is asking for that. I am perfectly comfortable calling anyone who objects to equal marriage rights for mixed-race couples a racist; I am perfectly comfortable calling anyone who objects to equal marriage rights for same sex couples a homophobe. Nobody has denied that this is a common position: Dio was denying that it’s a common SDMB position to paint all Republicans as racists. The thread you quoted provided an exception by which the rule was proved: when someone DID come in with that claim, everyone told him he was full of shit.
Not my problem you’re not good at learning.
Daniel
I, for one, think that you are a lying, bigotted fool. I believe I’ve told you that before. I don’t equate you in any way with honest Republicans like, say, SimonX or AirmanDoors.
Yes, you found one regular who called Republicans racists (a thread I’d never read before, btw) and that regular was repudiated by everyone else in the thread. That hardly supported your broad claim about Republicans being consistently lablelled as racists by the liberals on the board and it certainly didn’t include me.
Yep. Opposition to gay marriage is bigotry. And I specifically said that anti-gay bigotry is the on;y kind of biogotry I have accused Bush (or a few conservative posters) of.
Kerry supports civil unions. To me that’s virtually the same thing. Bush does not. I understand the political necessity of changing the words sometime. If Bush were to support civil unions, I would not call him a bigot.
The problem being that “honest”, in this context and coming from you, doesn’t mean anything more than “will not vote for Bush”.
We’ve seen, in this thread and elsewhere, DtC engage in lying and bigotry. But he hates Bush with the requisite passion, and therefore you consider him honest. Left Hand of Dorkness is trying hard to resolve the inherent contradictions of saying “I am not accusing you of dishonesty, although you often are”, which is ridiculous. But, again, he hates Bush, is therefore A-OK in your book. As I said, same stupid (dishonest, hypocritical, contemptible, etc.) shit as always.
