FYI... They clarified that to: "McChrystal prepared to resign." Basically he'd be willing to resign if asked but he hasn't submitted a resignation.
I'd be ok with that. Of course, you're the one who gave the 90-10 number. I'm still thinking it's 50-50, which is all the more reason not to do it.
Are you being serious? You quoted a post where I said they weren't equivalent and you are arguing with me and telling me they are not the same....
The same logic applies. Comparing apples to oranges is fine if you're talking about getting fruit in your diet.
There are three errors in the reasoning provided in this part of your post that are why I don't buy the 90-10 split. But if that's your reasoning...
Earlier in the thread I would have said 25%-75% (with 75% being Saddam or "something not specifically bigoted"). After our conversation I'd say...
It is not "clearly not to invoke the dictator Saddam". Just because people don't associate Obama with Saddam generally doesn't mean they aren't...
This response really doesn't make sense given my stance. I'm not sure where the misunderstanding is. I'm not arguing anything about republicans...
I don't understand how that is really applicable when his name is Hussein. The people using it didn't pick the name. They would do the same thing...
Uh, exactly. (Didn't I just say this? :)) It's an example of a white politician whose name is made fun of that has nothing to do with his race....
It's only tangentially related to race/ethnicity in that Obama is black and the name sounds Muslim. The burden is still on you to provide evidence...
Same reason you're doing it now?
I'd imagine it is b. Although I would take out the "relative of" as that has the same problem of assuming the point is to mark Obama as an...
But it doesn't matter whether it is based on racism or not, the original complaint stands. Why should we take the thread or the OP seriously if he...
Sure, it's related to race here. But that doesn't mean it's racism. In my mind, it's far more likely that they find humor in the fact that the...
Well, not to burst your bubble but I think you have entirely missed the point of the majority of the criticism of the middle name usage. And while...
I've said it before but I think it bears repeating. I really don't believe there is any real evidence that the type of behavior exemplified by the...
So? That's an honest question, what does that have to do with what I posted?
Just a reminder... Rasmussen has shown a roughly 6 point house effect in polling this year (source) which doesn't mean they're wrong but does mean...
I agree. For me that's the "yes" option above.
