Funny you use 'whore' because that line of work does very well at these conventions.

I was accused of making a personal attack for making fun of Rockin Robbins for saying we were going to get nuked. He, actually did say that more than once. I got a private message to stop trolling after I called him on the repeated "we get nuked if Obama wins" stuff.

Dude, whether I get a nastygram or not will have nothing to do with my political viewpoints, it will have to do with my actions. Making light of your nick is not the same as what you did with the thread that got you the nastygram. But if messing with you by messing with your nick is considered in bad taste and I get a nastygram, then I'll abide by it and do everything I can to refrain from doing it again. What you don't seem to get is that your views are not what cause you problems, it's your actions.

Careful, I noticed you always use the word dude in some form when anything gets under you skin.

Examples please? If I've developed a repeating pattern, I surely don't want to coninue it, bro.:p

I've just seen it more than once. You probably didn't notice it. We would film our debates in class and critigue body language and nuances the people themselves didn't know they did.

Because you say you've seen it doesn't make it so. It's really not important but does bring something to my attention that you probably don't realize about yourself. I asked you for an example, you give me rhetoric. It's a recurring theme. What you did in debate class is the same thing we did in debate class, but talking to you isn't a debate, it's more like a comedy that isn't funny.

No, you don't think it's funny at all do you? The walls are caving in on the republican party and I am just another example. Here in the safetly of right wing military sim world here is a military veteran gone liberal right on my doorstep!

This... can.... not.....be....

Can someone explain this vid to me? I tried to watch it, but I'm so far to the right that they all look like communists from here:p .

I agree with Mikhayl a bit, though. This video, like many others, is not objective. I may not like the Dems philosophies, but they're certainly not just a bunch of finger-waving idiots. Even the margin parties could easily be made to look like fools by the conduct of some of their members. My own party has its' share of nutcases who take an extremely conservative viewpoint to levels so extreme that we could be made to look like communists. Hardcore feminists come to mind.


All I can say, as humbly as possible, is that one might want to consider why this video is under discussion in the first place. Would time not be better spent looking for objective evidence that is gleaned from multiple sources as to how well party platforms and policies have performed in the past?


Just my thoughts......

I'll explain it easily. A bunch of right wingers took a camera to the middle of liberal land knowing a McCain/Palin sign would draw jeers. Simple enough. They then post is and say "look, liberals are MEAN".

You would get the same effect if you loaded up a bunch of Obama people and drove them into some redneck town in Texas, you would gets jeers and the same response, or worse.

Again, dodging the point. Debate or dodge, it's your choice.

Like I said, not objective. It still doesn't answer my quetion though;

I burst out laughing and turned off the video when it got to the "area intellectuals boo and jeer them as well... just as they've been taught to do". Ohhh brother, not this again

The event and the reactions are interesting. The rhetoric in the titles is twice as brainless and vapid as the reactions of the "intellectuals" on the street. The marchers I'm fine with, they exercised their right, and they stood for their position quietly and correctly avoiding response to the insults. Except for the one that made the video, of course.

The right is really used to having to hold people's hands and spell things out letter by letter in case you didn't get it. Trust me, I went thru the southern school system, I know all too well how they do this. Subtlety is lost on them.

[Biggles]

The McCain supprorters must be allowed to show their political views, and the Non-McCain supporters must be allowed to show what they think too. I don't think any laws were breaken during that march? And I'm sure that it'd be exactly the same if Obama Supporters marched in a Republican neighbourhood.

[kurtz]

In response to the original question, my thoughts; I notice that democrats lack good manners whereas republicans seem to react rather well to provocation. I also note from the titles that 'intellectual' and 'taught' are pejorative terms in the republican dictionary.
