I assume he’s usernamed after a mushroom because he’s such a fun guy. “Diaperheads”. Droll, very droll.
I wasn’t the one who made a claim about what their argument is. It was you, remember, who claimed:
My point was simply that this is not really the message i’ve been seeing, particularly the “not necessarily Republicans” part.
I’ll take Ahistorical Non-Sequiturs for $1000, please Alex.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to offer this as a serious argument in 2010, almost 200 years after the founding of the Democratic Party? I’m not arguing that the Party has no history of racism; it has plenty, and there is probably still no shortage of racist among certain groups of Democratic supporters. But your attempt to rebut a claim i never made by referring to something over a century old is completely asinine.
So I will ask you once again…what message have you been seeing?
How stupid would one have to be not to see that nothing has changed but the tactics? Minorities are useful as a voter base…just keep them in their place with entitlements, and a belief that white people are keeping them down, and the answer is to tax the “rich” and hand out Obama money. I salute the new breed of conservative blacks who aren’t buying into that bullshit.
I’m sure they are both very nice people.
Morella, I see that you’re new here. Welcome. Are you familiar with the phrase “strawman argument”?
Thank you.
Yes.
That’s nice. What would be nicer is if you employed a bit of reason and facts rather than broad brush strawman style talking points, particularly your claim of
Nicer…we’re trying to be nice? I thought this was a flame forum, based on some of the replies I have received, like this…
…and this…
You want me to be the only one here who is being nice, or using reason and facts? Why me?
It is your sacrifice to the jackal-headed god, Anewbies.
I don’t do sacrifices, and I don’t try to get myself banned either. It works out or it doesn’t…j’en ai rien a foutre.
You’re under no obligation to be nice in this particular forum, but when your idea of an argument about current political debates involves an invocation of the antebellum Democratic Party, you shouldn’t expect to be taken very seriously.
Similarly when you use the term diaperheads, apparently without irony.
Mostly because all that you’re doing is flaming, and making statements that reek of ignorance (I’ll go ahead and use your lovely “diaperhead” term as exhibit “a”), and this board is dedicated to fighting against it, ignorance, that is. If you do spend any time here, you’ll find that most people are nice, and they do rely on facts and reasoning to form coherent points, even here in the pit.
Have you lost your mind?
What’s so inflammatory about saying that I don’t think the Tea Party currently has a leader? Wikipedia itself says as much, stating that “The [Tea Party] movement has no central leadership but is a loose affiliation of smaller local groups.” Cite
And I’d like you to cite that I’m a 'hater", a “racist”, a “phobe” and a “thief”.
And I’d like you to cite that people who, in your opinion, “abuse the gift of speech” thereby lose their right to use it…or that it’s a “gift” in the first place, given that the ability to use it freely is a constitutionally protected right in this country.
And finally, I’d like to know how, in a rant so full of baseless accusations and baldfaced lies, you dare to accuse me of profaning honesty.
Your posts are my cite. I’m going to throw in ‘mind-numbingly stupid’ as a freebie.
I believe you just made the WTF comment of the day with that one. It may be early, but I’m calling it.
Oh shit…Dinesh D’Souza, is that you?
Long ago, but it’s not really relevant here.
Not tellin’
Already addressed (thank you tagos)
Fuck you, titwit. I never invited YOU to participate, I invited you to crawl back under the frog shit whence you were spawned and stay there where you belong. Now GIT!
I’m sure you would. But since we both know the truth of the statements, and that your calling them “baldfaced lies” is merely an attempt to save face from being called out, I have a better idea. Why don’t put your mouth to better use and suck on the south end of a northbound jackal and take what you’re given? And be careful swallowing it, I wouldn’t want your epiglottis to impede your airway resulting in your untimely demise–there’s a lot of jackals that need your help. Now, go-on! Git!
Jerk.
Let’s see, that’s 5 cites in total, at $20 per cite. Are you prepared to cough up $100? Or did you forget that you just asked people to pay you to find a cite, which you still weren’t able to find. Or did you think we wouldn’t remember?
Uh, because we’ve read your posts? And they’re full of profaning honesty.
$100 seems a bit steep, so for free I’ll offer this one.
People like you.
It’s not the overwhelming stench of the rhetoric of David Duke or the hateful violence of the KKK, but it’s the much more subtle, much more coded language of the people in the tea party. From idiocy of “diaperheads”, your flippant use of the n word, and your inane broad brushing of black people as too stupid to understand the pandering of the democratic party and that they are too lazy to work hard, get an education, and better themselves. And that’s just you in this thread. When you add in the same kind of rhetoric at Tea Party events and the numerous Tea Party guys making inane comments or carrying race baiting signs, you have a fair amount of evidence. Sure they’ve prettied it up, hid it behind codewords and broad brushing, but it’s there nonetheless. Call it prejudice, call it racism, call it conservatism, the label doesn’t matter much to me. But it most certainly is ignorant, like you.
But as Clothahump convincingly demonstrated, all those signs that said nigger were planted by left wing smear campaigns!
Why don’t you open your eyes and stop listening to the lamestream media? Huh? Huh?
I’m surprised that anyone took the term seriously, but, responding to it gave everyone else the chance to do the strawman thing and ignore the rest of what I had to say, and that’s always a good thing, isn’t it?
