Stupid Republican idea of the day

But the lockout is because the NFL won’t meet the refs’ requests and is trying to make them back down, right? Rightwingers tend to think of unions as core group of elitists making the decisions and forcing everyone to go along with them, and that without the union those poor refs would be free to do their jobs, which is all they really want to do.

Of course, that was mostly just a bit of snarkery. For all I know the tweets were genuinely on the union’s side. Some just really don’t like government unions.

Meet the Mecklenburg County GOP website::eek:

Holy flurking schnit!!!

Has anyone told Mecklenburg County what year it is?

Tu quoque’s are lame, it was more than enough in that other thread to prove his manufactured outrage was silly. He may never come back to the thread he started but since his verbiage changed from ‘Ried’s attack’ to ‘Ried’s comment’ he’s acknowledging it.

But maybe I’m wrong and he’ll come back for more lumps.

Now * that’s* the county Mr Peabody’s coal train should have hauled away.

I am completely mystified by this comment.

BTW, I looked at the Facebook page about an hour ago, and all this shit is still up. You have to do a little hunting for it – look in the first and largest photo album.

That shit is offensive as hell, the debate tactic of ‘your side does it too!’ is weak.

And that, Congressman West, is why you were not sent to the United Nations to deliver a statement on behalf of the American people.

For some one hundred thousand innocent Iraqis, the distinction between the American Eagle and the Angel of Death is moot.

No one is saying “your side does it too!” Someone is saying, “This is what it really looks like when someone goes over the line, because your example of Reid doing so ain’t it.”

I thought it spoke for itself, perhaps I should have elucidated a bit more…

We already have a guy here for that. You know the one - goes by Elucidated or Elucidatinor or something…

Thanks for noticing. I was going to try to shoe-horn ‘polemic’ into the sentence as well, I swear…:wink:

Rmoney says Jack Nicklaus was the greatest athlete of the 20th century. Even as an avid golfer, I say, really? Jack Nicklaus better than Willie Mays, Bo Jackson, Muhammad Ali?

Or Tiger Woods, for that matter.

To be fair, at some point Sports Illustrated had called Jack Nicklaus the greatest athlete of the 20th century.

That just means SI doesn’t own a dictionary. Nicklaus is a sportsman, not an athlete.

Tiger was only a professional athlete for 4 years of the 20th century. He would have had to break the home run record while pitching 3 perfect games, led his team to the Super Bowl, won the PBA championship with a string of 300 games, led the NHL and NBA in scoring, and won an Olympic decathlon to even be in the running for Greatest Athlete of the 20th Century in just 4 years of pro effort.

they were wrong? :dubious:
