> [@Grey](#): > > **Clothahump** , just how familiar ar you with Eco? You see I originally thought you one of his cretins, slobbering and stumbling across the board but I’ve reconsidered. You’re oh so close to being a moron but you just miss the mark despite all your twisted logic and poor reasoning. No, now I’m convinced your a lunatic - a moron scrambling around finding everything confirms your delusions. **Grey** , in this vast wasteland of drooling liberals, I am one of the very few rational voices left. If you will notice, the responses to my posts are very similar to watching the monkeys at the zoo flinging shit all over the place. No one cares about the content of the posts, all they do is childish namecalling. Just like you did. Fuck off. ---

I’ve been trying to parse it, but it’s giving me a terrible headache. Easy. I said: > [@](#): > > When you are dead, you don’t know that you are dead. It is difficult only for the others. It’s the same when you’re a liberal. Once you are dead and gone, you are not aware of the grief and misery your death has caused others. Same for liberals - they are unaware of the misery they cause to others. Liberals live in a utopian dreamland, full of unicorns that fart rainbows and other stupid ideas, such as the one that liberals know better than anyone else how others should live their lives. The rest of us live in the real world and have to put up with their moronic stupidity. ---

Please give me two examples of the ‘misery’ Liberals cause others. ---

All to benefit the unworthy. > > [Braveheart]MISERY!!![/Braveheart] Sadly, I read the comments on an article yesterday, can’t recall what it was about, but two comments stood out before my brain melted from the sheer HATE and I had to close the tab. 1\> “The Bible says that if you don’t work, you don’t eat”. :eek: 2\> Democrats are usurping God by arrogantly supporting the poor and needy rather than relying on GOD to take care of them. :eek::eek::eek: So if this is typical Conservative CINO belief, I can see the twisted logic by which they think we spread misery by having the temerity to help people in need. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > No one cares about the content of the posts, all they do is childish namecalling. Two points: 1. In virtually every one of your contributions to this thread it is the content of your posts that has caused the reactions. Usually you post a link with a snide comment, followed by someone pointing out that your version of what actually happened is a complete or partial misrepresentation of the facts of the matter. 2. You then ignore the substance of these posts and respond with - wait for it - childish namecalling. So when I point out that you are dishonest and hypocritical, please understand that this is a response to the content of your posts and not merely childish namecalling. I look forward to your substantive and considered reply. ---

So far this whole page, the only thing even close to a Stupid Liberal Idea is Tim Kaine mistakenly thinking that a gun was used, as was originally reported, when one wasn’t. Am I the first person to be disappointed by this thread’s lack of deliverance? Has it been mentioned before? ---

The vast majority of posts in this thread do nothing but point that out, **bobot**. It’s like **Clothy** can’t comprehend what stupid actually is. They had to take his mirror away because he keeps trying to fight his reflection. ---

Poor Clothahump, having to hear about what a bigoted, disgusting homophobe he is after saying gay people are an abomination. How _awful_ his lot in life must be, that he must be called to the mat for saying bigoted and homophobic things.
