You are a piece of work. Trump spews all kinds of sh**t about all kinds of people, and Hillary makes ONE statement that disparages some of Trump supporters, and you reply with all this garbage.
You have earned the right to be ignored.
You could probably find Seriously? in the basket of deplorables. A case study on him and the idea of double standards would be pretty fantastic if you ask me. His ability to completely ignore Trump's own issues while screaming at the top of his lungs about Clinton's is remarkable. It doesn't even matter if they do the same thing - it's awful/corrupt/etc when Clinton does it, and completely fine / didn't even happen if Trump does it. Barely any proof required if it's a 'scandal' involving Clinton, but if the same scandal involves Trump, the highest burden of proof is required. Every detail must be confirmed and presented.
He's either a disturbingly-dedicated troll or hypocritical as hell, and I can't help but wonder how this kind of behavior translates into other aspects of his life.
I think you nailed his butt to a T.
Your level of Alinsky-like ridicule will do nothing to change my mind or shut up.
Is this like some tribal defense of a fellow conservative in need, or something else? Seriously? fit my description to a T. He had a justification, rationalization or some other excuse to disbelieve everything bad about Trump but yet when it came to Clinton, everything "stunk" to high heaven. In other words, like I said, highest burden of proof for his guy, lowest burden of proof for the opposition. This isn't exactly new or uncommon behavior for partisans either. The only difference is he, as many of them do, didn't see himself that way, because that would basically be admitting that he is extremely biased.
I don't care if Seriously? voted for Clinton or not. I was merely pointing out that he was drowning in double standards. Again, not exactly something new for a partisan, and I'm not surprised he wrote what he did (also, what does tolerance even have to do with that? am I supposed to tolerate partisan double standards for a poster who engages in political discussion?)
(didn't really want to drag up 2016 discussions again but I couldn't resist on this one)
After a rash of personal attacks from some of our fine, liberal-minded refugees from The Enlightenment, I took a trip down memory lane to see what's been historically tolerated.
So, yes, I've made my binary choice,
Well, you are choosing to destroy the lives of your own children.
Why was this guy not permabanned?
This is my reposting in one of your "Greatest Hits " threads in this forum. But why wasn't this guy banned? I read in one of the posts in that particular thread that this guy, "ag" was a MOD?!?!?!? I mean, wowsers, this guy threatens my family in a post and nothing is done. This guy came back a while ago for a bit and got a hero's welcome, but after THIS? This is a bit more than calling me a name. It's a little more than telling me to F--- Off. Indeed, it's a little more than calling me a racial or ethnic slur.
I'm not going anywhere.
And I've not violated any Forum Rules or conditions of the ToS.
I have decided, however, that I'm going to call people out, constantly, whenever they decide to go full-bore ProudModerate2 or worse on me. And he's not the worst by any means; he's a one trick pony. There are others that are even worse, but I note that no one has ever said anything to his over-the-top insults. Perhaps the lad suffers from a mere lack of discipline.
I'm not going to be called the scum of the Earth and not point out that people who consider themselves tolerant are doing it. I'm not backing down. I'm not going anywhere. And I'm going to call them, and exhort like-minded people who are grown-ups, play by rules, and have at least a modicum of intellectual honesty about themselves to do the same. Are rules ant ToS for everyone here? I don't want this, or anyplace else, to be
Animal Farm, where all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
