Wow...that is really a compliment. I appreciate it. I enjoy your posts as well. At this point, the only thing I can say is that we need to turn off the requirement of having to spread rep around before repping the same poster twice.
this post amuses me greatly, the first recorded example of what shall henceforth be known and the "**** You!!! Double Standard." let us recap, shall we? i post an amusing article that sparks a modestly substantive, and completely civil, discussion on one aspect of health care reform. Below are Batman's posts leading up to the first of his "**** You's": My "goading?" now we move into **** You prime time, with this illuminating observation, note the complete lack of "prodding and subtle insults" on Batman's part and me, digging into "some really ugly places:" that's it, and you can follow the rest from post 77. the result? Batman gets mildly admonished, in the most understanding of fashions, for "flying off the handle," and i'm chastised for pointing out what any unbiased reader can see is nothing but a string of provocations throughout the entire thread. Let us compare and contrast with an earlier thread, from about a year ago: to which i replied: and was summarily banned for over a month: "Posting “**** you” will do it every time." or so i was told. now however, we see that is not the case. Liberals can serially harass conservatives, in the most vulgar of language, and nothing will happen. Those of us who don't vote democratic have long suspected that there's a liberal bias on this board- we just never expected to see it so blatantly acknowledged.
It's been pointed out multiple times before, but I'll do it again anyway. The comment above is both a lie and an insult that is more offensive than a thousand "**** yous" and "assholes".
This whiny rant is another deliciously embarrassing moment in your posting career, which as we know, you take very srsly. Are you going to take your smoking gun evidence of liberal bias to the International Court of Basketball BBS Political Sub-Forum Neutrality (the ICBBBSPSFN, for short..)? You really should. It's your duty!
Your entire post is a joke. All of your threads are a joke. You come in here and expect people to take you seriously when all you do is copy/paste some articles that fit your agenda and then complain when people snap back at you? As to your response to Jeff along with your references to what Batman said, you try to plead innocent by only referring to this thread. I have seen you accuse him of making fun of special needs children, etc on many occasions. As far as this board having a liberal bias... Where are the "liberal" threads that rival yours? Let's look at your last 10 threads: 1. Socialized Legal System 2. Van Jones: Channeling his Inner Batman (personal stab at BJ) 3. Dems on Gay Rights... (Dems not living up to promises) 4. Schilling for the "Kennedy" Seat 5. Astroturf Now (Holder to Appoint Prosecutor to Investigate CIA Terror Interrogations.) 6. Heard any new Chappaquiddick jokes? (Stab at Kennedy after he died) 7. Save our Foreskins 8. Rathergate bombshell: W volunteered to go to Vietnam (Still defending the old administration) 9. Obama: Capps and Charades 10. Pimping Grandma (stab at Obama's deceased grandmother) Sifting through the past 4 pages (the span of your last 10 threads) lets find some "liberal" material... 1. Pastor: Hope Obama Dies (calling out the crazies) 2. Parents don't want kids to listen to Obama's Speech (calling out the crazies... Baylorbear09 obliges) 3. Bill Moyers speaks truth to power 4. US sees profit from TARP 5. Kyl: I don't think a single republican will support Health Care 6. Bush et. al.'s Legal Guidance on Acceptable Torture 7. GOP looking for great white hope 8. Krugman: Does Obama have the balls to take on right wingers Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but, by yourself, you have more "conservative leaning threads" than everybody combined on the liberal spectrum. You also have, while it may be funny to yourself, worded your threads in a way that may offend some. The only person that might even rival you on the other side is glynch. For the most part, the D&D consists of your conservative, anti-Obama, anti-Dem spam where you post any blog/op-ed/video you can find that you agree with. I honestly think that a good majority of people that argue with you on here are not as liberal as you might think. In fact, they are fed up with your polarized views to the point of where they post Walrus pictures, etc. instead of even arguing back because it's a waste of time. You are going to continue your crap threads and we're going to continue calling you out... YOU LOSE... good day sir.
Don't get all worked up Franchise2001. That is a lot of effort there. Purely demonstrative of hate, disvision, and intolerance...Van Jones would be proud. Just call him an ***hole and save yourself a lot of trouble... WWVJD?
Let me add ROXRAN... There is a lot of sarcasm in my posts towards you, with my knowledge of your support of gun rights, etc... I do think that VJ was wayyyy too extreme in his past and out of line with his comments. Resigning was the correct move and I'm glad he will be out of the spotlight. However, he is not "one of the enemy" as you say. None of us are enemies. I might be pro-choice, pro-gay marriage along with some socially liberal views, but I know the large majority of us are flexible when it comes to putting together policies that work to getting our country back on track.
gifford67 got it right. "**** you" is mild compared to repeated lies about me wanting babies to die, wanting American soldiers to die and hating special needs kids. You are a serial liar/slanderer and a dick, basso. And, apart from other trolls like Trader George, there isn't a single person here who disagrees. Are you addicted to negative attention or what?
I understand that Franchise2001. we are having fun. no ill-will towards you. I'm not saying people who disagree with me on certain things are 'enemies' because I see good things and bad things on both political sides that I embrace or not...I regret that term. Van Jones is a person and citizen of the U.S. and I respect that, and also agree completely on your stance about him and I respect you for saying this. I genuinely like President Obama, and I want him to succeed. (Because that will mean the country will benefit)
You've never even tried to deny being guilty of what Jeff rightly accused you of. Show me one link proving that I: (a) want babies to die (b) want soldiers to die, or (c) hate special needs kids. You can't. Those are lies and they are slanderous lies. And they are worse by far than calling someone a troll or telling them to **** off. So **** off.
you've made countless posts of the "Poor Twig" variety, and wanting Bush to fail in Iraq, as Jeff says, pushing right up to the line, and then screaming indignantly "that's not what i meant." your intent is quite clear.
I have never said I wanted Bush to fail in Iraq, not once. And I have never said I wanted soldiers or babies to die or anything like it (in fact, I'm as pro-life as I am pro-choice and as pro-soldier as I am anti-war). You've never provided proof of your assertions because it doesn't exist. I started the "poor Twig" stuff AFTER you started accusing me of hating special needs kids. You know this is true because rimbaud laid it all out for you. Again, you've never even tried to prove your lies about this are true because it's impossible. I'm done wasting time with you now.
