    I have a hard enough time understanding what many of us are trying to say on here without having to decipher SS and OC....Took me a while, but I'm guessing you mean Sharrod and ObamaCare?

    No...I don't agree. Neither do I see her phrasing here worthy of much discussion since she's not really a big player in the debate. In fact, I'd never heard of her, or her role in the government until this mess. Her opinion on health care reform, or republicans doesn't particularly interest me at all. If she really wants to discuss health care reform on clutchfans, perhaps you could reference her to the multiple threads we had on here doing just that? If she posts something of interest, I may chirp in my two bits.

    She said at one point ~"I didn't do as much as I could have..." or words to that effect. It sounds like she corrected herself pretty quickly but we don't have an indication of any timeline.

    Did her initial race-influenced decision cause those people to worry for 3 more hours or 3 days or 3 weeks? We don't know or I've never seen any indication of the existence of such a timeline.

    So I have to prove they are plants while you can just freely assert that they are died-in-the-wool teapartiers? Any comparison those guys do of Obama to Hitler or Lenin is due to their political ambition not their criminal record. That's a legitimate comparison.

    Where did I say it was justified? I said I was disappointed that she rolled over so quickly. You've been reported for name-calling.

    I have no idea who edited the video. I haven't looked into it. I called Breitbart reckless. I don't have to stoop to adolescent name-calling to feel good about my criticism.

    Once again, you've been reported. Get a grip on yourself.

    Ever watch The Daily Show? The varying correspondents (Steven Colbert, Samantha Bee and those folks) do mocking interviews and do all kind of goofy stuff to embarrass people they profile. That stuff lives on in perpetuity on YouTube. Larry Flynt targeted Republicans whom he caught in sexual escapades. I'm sure there are more but those come off the top of my head.

    not even remotely the same, but either you know that and are being your normal deliberately obtuse self (boom, i'm reported!) or you just don't get it (maybe reported?).

    Reported again. Three strikes; you're out!

    So when you are "restricted" from name-calling, you have no game?

    Please show me in my own words where I said that her getting fired was justified (I immediately called for her reinstatement so you might as well give that one up).

    You don't see your own double standard? I have to prove something un-provable but you do not? That's a good system you got there.

    Are you insane? Seriously?

    The Daily show doesn't act like it's reporting factual news. Breitbart did. Because Flynt caught Republicans in sexual escapades doesn't even relate.

    Are you going to answer my question, or will you keep pretending like the Daily Show has any kind of comparison to someone who parades his tapes as news?

    You seriously come off as somehow damaged when you go around making claims like Breitbart is justified because the daily show edits tapes and interviews for a joke. Then to run off and tattle tale like you did on someone else is just weak.

    thanks. i'm just leery of granting sainted victimhood to a woman, tho she may have been quoted out of context in another section of the speech, clearly believes her political opponents are racists.

    Well, she's got you and giddyup against her, so that's at least two people who playfully slather themselves in the muck of racism opposing her for kicks on the interwebs.

    Of course she also has Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly on her side so she's netting out at zero I guess. wah-waaah trombone noise.

    As you note no timeline exist like that but going on the word of the farmer in question he says she did a great job and stands by her.

    In that case then were the comparisons of GW Bush to Hitler legitimate since those were due to political ambition?

    Try and make that fly if you want. This is an old argument in which someone compared Obama to Hitler for their political pragmatism. That immediately got turned into a foul because it "associated" Obama with a mass murderer.

    Oh, I follow. Exactly how is it racist to compare Obama to either Hitler or Lenin? Are teapartiers not allowed to have opinions that differ from yours?

    Someone please post all those Bush/Nazi images... going all the way back to Fashcroft.... in 2002-3-4.

    The Daily Show does report factual news; it just makes fun of the newsmakers. Breitbart's purpose is different, but the claim made was that no one distorts the facts for their own purpose. Are you going to claim that TDS doesn't edit their material to make people look "worse" than they might be? I'll see if I can find a good example...

    Where did I ever say Breitbart was "justified?" I said multiple times he was reckless. I just don't see him being the criminal that you do.

    Do you really think I should just sit here and let people call me ugly names? Are you insane? :eek: Would you tolerate that?

    Can't we have Debate & Discussion without name-calling over a difference of opinion?

    BTW, swimming was just okay. It was 96 degrees; water was 86 degrees and just not very refreshing. Kids had fun. I started a Stephen King novel.

    I would like to apologize for my comments concerning this lady. I apparently jumped to conclusions just as the White House did.
