The official "Mr. Moto is a clueless right-wing Republican shill" thread

Y’know, Mr. Moto, you’ve started some lame-ass “gotcha” threads in the past, but you’ve reached new zeniths of stupidity with this turkey:

Wow! Money for kids and seniors embezzled into Air America!

(If you haven’t read that thread already, please do so. Lotsa laughs for anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together)

Not only is the title misleading, not only did you dredge up a year-old incident to “make” your “point,” but when folks demonstrated how off-base your OP was, you resort to the two-fisted dodges of (a) trying to smear Air America with guilt by association, and (b) whining about being a po’ unfairly persecuted rightie on the SDMB.

But then, being a clueless right-wing Republican shill is standard procedure for Mr. Moto, who’s previously graced us with “Great” “Debates” like:

So is this what we can expect if leftists are allowed into Republican events?
(It’s great that GWB prevents ordinary folks from attending his events!)

Is Howard Dean screwing up as DNC chairman?
(The Dems aren’t as rich as the Republicans, so obviously Dean’s gotta go)

See, this is what happens when politicians go to military funerals uninvited.
(Bush ignores dead Iraq war personnel! Hooray!)
Yeah, I know, this is like pitting the sun for being hot, or water for being wet. But it’s Friday, and that Air America thread has too much Moto-branded stupidity to be addressed in a non-Pit thread, IMO…

I’m not sure that political progress will be made in America until factions of both major parties decide that they will no longer tolerate corruption — not just in their opponents’ camp, but in their own.

I have a comment that I could not find a home for in any of the other threads he’s involved in right now.

Whenever a list is made of the honest, principled conservatives on the SDMB, his name comes up. Why that happens is honestly beyond me. He is neither honest nor principled; he merely toes the party line, whatever it may be. Toady would not be too strong a word.

Wasn’t there a saying once somewhere about casting stones and being without sin?

You are hardly the person to cast stones, rjung.

Brutus, but without the amusing sense of humor.

Oh. Yeah. That’s gonna happen.

Hey, it’s the REPUBLICANS that need to stop tolerating corruption in their own midst!

I agree: Mr. Moto is hardly a shining beacon of fairness. Apropos of nothing, y’all should really listen to this new band I’ve found.

Whatever happened to Brutus?

He dedided he wasn’t getting enough abuse for his $15, so he left.

He et tu much Kool-Aid.

I believe he didn’t renew.

:dubious:

Whooooooshhhh!

You just heard of the Decemberists? They’ve got three albums out.

I’m just sayin’. I’m rarely on top of what the kiddies are listening to today, so I relish it when I’m ahead of someone. :slight_smile:

Yes, he’s conservative, and yes, he sometimes gets snarky (like that’s some kind of crime here), but I seem to recall several occasions in which Mr. Moto acknowledges that sometimes the other side can be right.

OTOH, the OP says brilliant things like,

It’s a pretty shallow tactic to attempt to hide partisanship by offering mild criticism to one side, and then accuse the other of being “evil.”

Does the word hyperbole mean anything to you?

Now, wait a minute. Didn’t you just inform me that you’re barely of drinking age? What gives, Kimosabe?

What entails “not tolerating corruption” in your own party? Voting for the other guy? Not voting?

Airman nailed this one. rjung is a one trick pony, whos single contribution to the board is to do predictable “Bush is teh evil one!” drivebys wherever he goes. He’s hardly in a position to cast a first stone at anyone.

In any case, Moto is a considerate and thoughtful poster who contributes his ideas at the SDMB. However, those ideas being conservative ones, he’s bound to get piled on and pitted from time to time. I for one and glad he’s got thick enough skin to stick around.

This, from the master debater himself…
