as my man, the True Fisher, has said: "Dude, I've seen many more useless pieces of crap around. it's the internet. My question to you is what would make it an appropriate thread and why? Nothing we do here is that important ultimately and makes even a modicum of difference with respect to the tragedy."
basso, have some decency while you still can afford it....leave this site and never come back. Maybe people here will one day forgive and forget this thread.
no photo opp, in a classy move, the president and quietly slipped into Walter Reed yesterday to comfort the wounded and the victims' families. oops! current president. Basso, as usual, you are as factually challenged as you are classless. I would join in the chorus saying that this represents your new low, but we both know that's not true.
Glad to hear that this is all just a game to you, how classy. You sure showed them/him/sam/whothe****ever you're in a pissing match with. Real people are hurting right now, basso, but I'll be sure and pass along your thoughts. It will, I'm sure, be a great condolence, reading these words from such a self-described patriot as yourself. A good friend of mine's co-worker is now without a husband, and their daughter without a father, and I'm sorry, but this **** from you is about the most uncalled for thing I've seen on here.
man, it's been a while since i last checked out this part of the site, i've been on this site for years now, and because i know most people around here have some level of intelligence, i'm going to have faith in my fellow clutchfans members and just go ahead and think this dude is all alone in his crazya** world, and most of us are decend people here.
basso, I don't understand. I don't even have the heart to post a walrus picture. you've become really kinda twisted lately.
And meltdown hasn't? I'll agree with basso, but realize bj's blown a leak, as well. Police your own. Quit giving your side's looneys a free pass.
When the lurkers and GARM-goers start commenting on how terrible a thread is, you know it has to be bad... I think B-Bob put it best.
...sorry, didn't know it was my responsibility to be the D&D police head. But I guess in future, now that I know, I will strive to always post a picture when people go apes*** crazy.
You are dangerously obsessed with me. My crime was I deleted you from my facebook and subsequently said what everybody else was thinking: your constant cries for attention on this board make you look foolish. Your response? You said I would probably defend a pedophile. Not only does that make no sense, but it is way the **** loonier than anything I've ever said here. Your posts since I deleted you from my facebook have been the saddest stuff I've ever seen here. You've always acted like an ass here, but I've seriously come to feel sorry for you. Regarding basso, there's nothing unusual in his behavior in this thread. He's always posted this way because he's an incredibly dickish troll. I'm sorry people were (rightly) offended by his latest dick move (not nearly as bad as some past ones, btw), but it is kind of nice not to be the only one complaining about it for once.
i assume you feel the same level of opprobrium for Obama? [rquoter]Participants also said Obama had referred to this week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in which 13 people were killed. His remarks put in perspective that the hardships soldiers endure for the country are "what sacrifice really is," as opposed to "casting a vote that might lose an election for you," said Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J.[/rquoter]
it's not just me who think Obama has been bloodless. [rquoter]During the election campaign, Barack Obama's cool detachment was a winning quality, the "No Drama Obama" a welcome contrast with the "Mr Angry" John McCain, never mind the hot-headed "I'm the decider" President George W Bush. A year into his presidency, however, Mr Obama seems a curiously bloodless president. If he experiences passion, he seldom shows it. It is often anyone's guess as to whether an event or issue truly moves him. He has spent more than two months considering a troop increase but do we know how he really feels about the Afghan war? In a sign that the Obama honeymoon truly is over, I began to hear this week the first stirrings of a wistfulness about Mr Bush. "I never thought I'd hear myself say it," one Democrat told me. "But Obama makes you feel that at least with Bush you knew where he was on something." When Mr Bush's Republicans were defeated in the 2006 mid-term elections, it was the President himself who stepped up and declared that his party had received "a thumpin'". The Democratic defeats on Tuesday were not on anything like the same scale but Mr Obama acted as if nothing at all had happened. Mr Obama had campaigned for Jon Corzine, New Jersey's Democratic governor, five times, twice just last Sunday. But when Mr Corzine lost by four points in a state Mr Obama won by 15 last year - a 19-point swing to Republicans - White House aides just shrugged. In Virginia, which Mr Obama won by six points last year, prompting Democrats to declare an historic political realignment in the state, the Democratic candidate went down by 17 points in the biggest landslide since 1961 - a 23-point swing to the Grand Old Party. It took Senator Mark Warner of Virginia to admit that his party "got walloped". For three days, Mr Obama maintained a studied silence about the results while his aides blamed them on local factors that had nothing to do with the President. And to think that it was Mr Bush who was always accused of being "in denial". More serious perhaps was Mr Obama's strange disconnectedness over the Fort Hood massacre of 13 soldiers by an Army major and devout Muslim who opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, had praised suicide bombing and shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he opened fire. Maybe Mr Obama had been reading the American press, much of which somehow contrived to present the atrocity as a result of combat stress due to soldiers going on repeated war deployments (though Major Nadal Hasan had not been on any) and therefore, no doubt, Mr Bush's fault. When the television networks cut to the President, viewers listened to him spend more than two surreal minutes talking to a gathering of Native Americans about their "extraordinary" and "extremely productive" conference, pausing to give a cheery "shout out" to a man named Dr Joe Medicine Crow. Only then did he briefly and mechanically address what had happened in Texas. On Friday, when most of the basic facts were available, Mr Obama tried again. It was scarcely any better. He began by offering "an update on the tragedy that took place" - as if it was an earthquake and not a terrorist attack from an enemy within - and ended with a promise for more "updates in the coming days and weeks". Completely missing was the eloquence that Mr Obama employs when talking about himself. Absent too was any sense that the President empathised with the families and comrades of those murdered. It was a reminder that for the past 16 years Americans have had two Presidents who would often extemporise and express emotion. President Bill Clinton could certainly "feel your pain" while Mr Bush sometimes struggled to hold back tears. Mr Obama is more like President George Bush Snr, who famously communicated his concern for people by blurting out: "Message - I care." The White House argues that Mr Obama was not on the ballot last week and there is therefore no need to fret. The problem with this complacency is that voters were angry about the state of the economy, which Mr Obama can't keep blaming on his predecessor. With unemployment now above 10 per cent, Mr Obama needs to show Americans that he can relate to what they're going through, and take responsibility. It could do him good to show he has a bit of fire in his belly. Perhaps he might make a decision or two based on gut instinct and deep conviction. In other words, maybe he should try being a bit more like Mr Bush.[/rquoter]
basso is so scared of an Obama presidency that it is unhinged him this much. He shames the memory of those soldiers who lost their lives or were hurt in this tragedy, by using and manipulating their pain, loss and suffering to try and score political points on a message board. How pathetic is life for someone that they would remove all reason and decency from their existence. To claim it's just a message board so it doesn't matter is only ironic. If it doesn't matter then why flush your dignity and decency down the drain? It's also ironic because basso is trying to paint the President of the United States as someone who doesn't care about the loss of life but only making political points. While it's certainly not true of the President based on any evidence we've seen, that same criticism is most definitely true of basso.
LOL! I'm sad? Funny. You've become Vinsanity. Here's the deal BJ. You are an admitted troll. You have no life. You've already realized this and have a problem getting called out for it. And now I'm off to join the real world. You should try it. You know? Outside? Troll.
basso, I really don't expect you to have the slightest understanding of what makes someone a loser or not. But if you go on a message board and make disparaging comments about someone's girlfriend's physical appearance, that makes you a loser, and doesn't reflect poorly on the person the comment was aimed at. Why don't you stick to manipulating the deaths, pain, and suffering of our armed forces which is something you seem to understand?
