I couldn’t wrap my hand around any good reason to hate **TriPolar** for the post that infuriated OP. However > [@Is it time for the dems to fight dirty?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-it-time-for-the-dems-to-fight-dirty/815907/2): > > … And I think you mean ‘seque’ into the most recent piece of evidence, not riding a scooter into it. Or maybe not, you tell us. Even _I_ don’t resort to this level of snark unless I’m addressing a loathsome Republican; and **Mr. Cadet** isn’t that. Moreover, those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. When Urban Dictionary writes “Seque: An alternative 100% acceptable spelling of the word Segue,” _ **they’re being sarcastic.** _ ---

I don’t know about that. The Urban Dictionary sucks. ---

He couldn’t be arsed to check Politifact even when cited to him. Considering how bad at their job Politifact has been for the past decade (Maddow even had a recurring segment about it in the Obama administration), that’s not a cite that carries a lot of weight. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Now the stupid fuck is starting a thread trying to breathe life into the corpse of the “Hillary started Obama Muslim rumor”… Yeah, watching people rehash that old canard might be the saddest thing I’ve read in a long time. Just to imagine people like TriPolar going through every minute of their lives with that bile pounding around their brains… :•( ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Now the stupid fuck is starting a thread trying to breathe life into the corpse of the “Hillary started Obama Muslim rumor”. He couldn’t be arsed to check Politifact even when cited to him. Actually that thread gave us evidence that he only bothers to check cites just to see if the dumb escape hatch that he imagines is there, that one about the cite we made mentioning Birtherism. \*\*As if that was the only reason the cites were made. \*\* Of course the dumb or wilful stupidity comes by thinking that others will not check and see that the ‘being a secret Muslim’ accusation was dealt with too and anyone can see also that **Tripolar** ’s say so in that thread that “Clinton never denied that accusation” of Obama being a secret Muslim was countered in the Politifact article too: > **[The Obama Muslim Myth: The Clinton connection](https://www.politifact.com/article/2015/sep/25/obama-muslim-myth-clinton-connection/)** > > The myth that President Barack Obama is a Muslim refuses to die.

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Is the original post pointing to the correct quote? I don’t see anything pit-worthy in that. Honesty. It bugs people. Sometimes we just want to think reality is not as bad as it actually is. Like **asahi** , the OPit of this thread. He wants to feel like there is some kind of hope yet, not have someone like **TP** waltz in and point out in a supercilious tone that all his toys are broken. Because, you know, it is so much easier to get mad at each other than at what the real problems are. Those things are scary and take us out of our respective comfort zones. We can fight without fear, but can we fight without hope?
