Genuinely, I admire him for his dedication to the kids he teaches self-defense. I agree with him on almost NOTHING politically or socially, but that I’ll gladly pat him on the back for. ---

Dude, do you even know the origin of my nick? You should learn it. But since you have issues, I’ll educate you. Clothahump is a character in the Spellsinger novel series by Alan Dean Foster. He is the Aged Turtle Wizard, the smartest creature alive. And that’s why my nick is so appropriate here, because I am surrounded by mouth-breathing retards with room temperature IQs, whose first resort is to post bullshit like yours rather than argue issues with me. ---

Well there you go - something nice about Clothahump. Can we not do that again? It makes me feel all icky, like watching a crippled retard fellate themselves. ---

I’ve tried arguing issues with you many times, but unfortunately you don’t seem too interested. You seem to go straight to “insult the libs” when any of your assertions are challenged, from my memory. ---

Which explains your severe hatred of anything you percieve as liberal. You went casting for a engineer to help save your world and instead, due to political correctness, you got a wannabe rock singer who worked as a “sanitation engineer” and you’re still bitter at how easily you were fooled. It also exposed the fact that you were not the world’s most powerful wizard but rather a somewhat senile shadow of your former self. ---

Seriously? _You_ dump some moronic link to Breitbart about something Obama didn’t actually do and then show up three days later to say “nuh uh” to somebody who points out what really happened. You’ve never posted _anything_ substantive to this board on political topics. ---

Instead of spell components in your plastron-drawers, you’ve got Sean Hannity up your ass. Very similar, really. ---

And that’s why my nick is so appropriate here, because I am surrounded by mouth-breathing retards with room temperature IQs, whose first resort is to post bullshit like yours rather than argue issues with me. So…your nick is appropriate because you’re old and slow? If you’re so smart/better than us “mouthbreathers,” how about demonstrating it on occasion? How about putting some independent thought into something, rather than regurgitate ideas and analyses that would cause Alex Jones to call you “out there?” For instance, this thread. You started it off of a faulty premise, were shown that your reasoning was suspect, stuck your fingers in your ears and started saying “la la la la la” at the top of your lungs to avoid having to hear that you might actually be mistaken about something. Since then, all you’ve done is drive-by insults and chickenfucking. I’m still waiting on you to post something, ANYTHING, of substance that justifies this thread. ---

The Clinton campaign’s tone-deaf attempt to woo Latino voters with a list of reasons why their candidate is “just like your _abuela_” seems to have backfired nastily, but it did give rise to the excellent hashtag [“hispandering.”](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clintons-team-thinks-shes-just-like-your-abuela-twitter-disagrees_567988d7e4b0b958f6582047) ---

Agreed, definitely over the line. WaPo should know better. Or should act better, anyway. No half-measure of condemnation here! I express outrage! OK, that’s one. I’m gonna mark this down. And I threw in the outrage so next time friend **Bricker** demands I defend myself from accusations of never condemning slimy political actions favorable to my side, I can reply with a bold _neener - neener_. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-liberal-idea-of-the-day/579086.md?page=215) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-liberal-idea-of-the-day/579086.md?page=217)
