Strawman Thread

[Grumps]

The spectacle of some people showing more outrage against teachers than against the Wall Strett wizards and bankers who brought the world economy to its knees, is really depressing.

You know, it's no so much opebo that I have a problem with...it's the fact that the majority of the Left on this site worships the sick, arrogant chickenhawk.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

This thread is ridiculous. How many times are the two different fiscal cycles (with drastically different account balances) going to get conflated and mixed up before it is pounded into the thick skulls of our liberal friends, who are busy trying to pretend as if the progressive lala land of Wisconsin was in perfect condition financially until Scott "Hosni Hitler Mussolini" Walker got his groper nasties on the budget?

A tax credit for employement is an unnecessary tax cut for big business now? I thought unemployment was a big problem that Boehner was ignoring to handle abortion or Healthcare or whatever the latest complaint is from Pelosi? Is unemployment not a big issue now? Didn't Obama pass similar such tax credits in his various "jobs" bills? Measures which he will be damned sure to take credit for helping to turn the economy around.

OK so what does that make the ratio of stupid signs in relation to teabagger stupid signs? 1:1000?

Wait, what? This has to be one of them, right? It's an extremely inappropriate and inaccurate sign. Who else would could possibly be responsible for it? I know that the Left, after lecturing America about the need to tone down the nasty rhetoric, would never stoop this low. Ever.

I can't understand why Phil is so angry all the time. He's a well-off white American male. The world belongs to him. He should enjoy it.

Well, aside from the above being a Strawman... 

No, I'm not angry. Aside from failing to understand my intellectual superiority, the most common misinterpretation regarding my posts centers around my tone. I'm very rarely "angry" when posting. The irony here is that others take my posts/tone way more seriously than they think I am. Quite amusing!

And, for the record, I'm not "well off" in a wealthy sense. I'm pretty standard middle class.

Wait, Toomey won?

Well, it is a relief that lack of self confidence is not one of Phil's character flaws.

So, when are they going to pass a bill permitting handguns in kindergartens?

When kindergartners have the legal right to carry, like most college students do.

You mean they haven't??
And nobody has yet talked about this obvious infringement of the Second Amendment and unprecedented attack on liberty?
 

and excessive hyperbole

HP (Not Irish)

Your point?

You obviously have never met one of those "OMG EVIL BRITISH IMPERIALISTS OMG IRA FREEDOM FIGHTERS OMG 26+6=1" Irish-American morons (who frequently have never even been to Ireland.) Look at how much of those idiots donated to NORAID and the IRA and how many still brag about it today. I have no doubt plenty of these nationalistic pieces of sh!t regard Gaddafi as a freedom fighter for all the funding he gave to the IRA.

And of course I am not saying this applies to all Irish-Americans, but it most certainly applies to far more than one would hope. I've noticed more sane Irish-Americans tend to be as irritated by these type of dipsh!ts as I am.

For the record, it was Broun's office who contacted the Secret Service about the guy.

Watch as the hacks either ignore this fact or come up with another justification for their hackery.

I'm not an expert but if he failed to report it wouldn't that be like failing to report a crime?
The article says that threatening the President is a punishable offense, so it's not like Broun had much of a choice about reporting it.

Of course he wouldn't have if he had a choice.  He's a Republican after all, so he wouldn't have any regrets, especially when the president is a darkie.

Predicted response from those with red avatars:

False equivalence.  Hintz a leftist Democrat, and unlike Republicans, leftists don't have a history of violence.   So he didn't really mean dead.  Unlike Sarah Palin, who wants to kill everyone with bulls-eye graphics.

Unions don't have a history of violence either, so suggesting someone who votes against the unions is "f***king dead" is harmless.  If it were evil, violent management, it would be a true threat.

Hintz is a FF for getting more than just a massage from his massage therapists.

Damn whitey keeping the browns out.....

Dario Castillo, 23, and Ramon Zuniga, 29

nevermind

This is so hilarious it almost shouldn't count.

Another exercise for you: Please argue why you support North Korea over South Korea.

[Vasall des Midas]

That person should probably post straight into this thread.

Didn't that guy also claim Al wasn't familiar with coal miner strikes?

In that same post!

Yeah, yeah, I'm a classist asshat that should be thankful he has a job.  Everyone on the dole deserves it and nobody ever wants to be there.  I'm the asshole.  The guy who went to liberal arts school on daddy's dime (or student loans) is the real victim here.  His handlers told him that college wasn't to help you get a job, it was to make you a more rounded person and you should go to school for what you love, not for what will help you put food on your table.  It's not his fault his handlers were deluded apes.  The guy too good to flip burgers or pour coffee (but not so good he can't take handouts from others) is the victim because he can't make a middle class income doing dissertations on Engles.  (I'd mention the lack of middle class unskilled labor jobs and the people who want those jobs, but I don't think we have any of those people here....at least those guys were willing to work....and willing to strike if they didn't get their 15 min break every 30 minutes too)

awww, I thought you had forgotten about me.  Glad to have you back on board.  (you also missed a few more in that thread, but whatever...we all have our biases)

Nobody's stopping you from pointing them out.

He can't possibly believe this, can he?

I find it bizarre that "Jews" whom renounces Judaism for atheism, and eat pork are considered to have a stronger "Jewish identity" than folks whom marginally embrace Judaism, adhere to some dietary restrictions, but, celebrate the secular holiday of Christmas.

Don't you DARE call him--or anyone on this Forum--an anti-semite! They only "differ with Middle-Eastern policy, you see.....

[Χahar]

It is good for businesses, bad for a society.

Bad for whose society? I'm quite sure the people who get the outsourced jobs in the other country are quite glad to have the opportunity.

But those people are poor and brown, John. No proper left-winger would care about them.

[Χahar]

Clearly drugs had no part in the crime and cause no harm to anybody at all anywhere.
