The Atlas Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

Gustaf's crush on J. J. is pretty inexplicable. I don't think I've ever seen him criticize him ever.

Eh...we real, sane men don't have "crushes" on strangers on the internet. That's just you.

I just never found it funny nor civilized to laugh at other peoples' disabilities. I guess a good Christian like you disagrees with that?

The joke wasn't about disabilities but rather his inexplicable streak of spamming with the price of gold and Dow closing numbers.

Allen was unnecessarily gerrymandered out of his district. Florida is going to gain seats. This is the establishment punishing West for being an outspoken TEA Partier.

Why didn't they gerrymander Debbie Wassermann Schultz out of her district?

Absurd in a different way (due to the bold) but doesn't really fit anywhere else:

people like krazen are the number one reason why I am a democrat. I am white and male but I don't identify as a "white male's white male" because I am ashamed for people like him with his unabashed ethnocentrism. I'd rather do things like skateboard or surf and play hackeysack as opposed to going to buffalo wild wings.

I can see him pull another Morman into the race. Then the GOP fractures, and a Ron Paul led conservative/evangelical party wins.

"Morman" is the icing on the cake.

To celebrate his absence I'll submit this as my pick for the single most idiotic posting ever in the history of Atlas:

Canadians can not view Hulu.

It's not the only website. There are a lot of websites that Americans can visit, that Canadians can not.

Perhaps other non-autistic canadians do not get offended, but I do. Every time I hear the word "Hulu" it gets translated in my head as "F*** you canadian, I am American, thats right you f***ing Canadian, I am American and I'm better than you cause I can watch this clip and you f***ing looser can't"

I'm just relieved I will no longer have to read the absurd nonsense he usually posted, and that above being a prime example. When I first read I was basically awestruck at the idiocy. It's not like political hackery where you can sort of understand why someone would post something that stupid, it's just inane beyond words. In real life I hope he gets whatever help he obviously really really needs.

We already have Naso for that.

Can a Presidential candidate for once use a screamo metal campaign song rather than a sappy country or pop ballad?

For implying that such a thing as "screamo metal" even exists.

Everything J. J. posts in this thread from here on: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=144974.390

Actually might as well amend to that everything J. J. says about polls in general.

It's probably not worth it to add posts from Politico or Winfield about Romney here but:

He rescues a young lady from dire consequences, next, he will rescue America from economic chaos.

The funny thing is that the character George Clooney plays in The Ides of March is probably basically identical to the real George Clooney in politics and personality.

I oppose it from the Libertarian realm (I voted from the right, because I tend to agree with the right on this issue.)

Survival of the wealthiest?

Survival of the ones who don't feel like they need to depend on a "higher power" to take care of them and essentially hold their hand from cradle to grave.

Maybe its time for the silent majority to speak.  All of the people who were bitching about Inks's decision to close this thread are, by and large, the same spammers and circle-jerkers that regularly degrade the quality of The Atlas.

LOL ... dude, why do you even post here?  A large amount of your posts are dedicated to simply reposting stuff in this thread.  Try actually engaging in poltical discussion instead of spending most of your time on the Forum Community board.  After all, this is a POLITICAL forum.

Respect your elders Inks. He's been around on this forum A LOT longer than you have.

The 2000 election was where Texas Gov. George Bush defeated Vice President Al Gore. Bush lead Gore going as far back as polls in 1997. The fact that Gore even came as close as he did was a miracle on his part.

He was making the point that Gore won the election, because he did. He was chosen by the people to be President of the United States. But because a vote in Texas or Florida counts more as long as it's a winning vote, Bush won.

Yeah, the President of Finland is decided by the popular vote, and Al Gore won the popular vote. Oh wait...this is America...not Finland...I guess that means you should zip it!

The best part of course being the poster being replied to is not really from Finland.

There is nothing wrong with seeing someone, at night, behind buildings, who appears to be a stranger and calling 911.  I'm happy my neighbors watch out for me. 

I should do a count one week of how many times a week I'd call 911 if I did this. It would be pretty close to the number of times I walked outside basically.

Well he was right about Giuliani (the second part at least).

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

So far he has won three districts, ME-02, VA-03 and my own in MN-05.

MN-05? LOL. Isn't that the only Muslim district in the whole nation?

The best part is the guy is supposedly an anti-Christian atheist.

This is getting too gross.

I. Am. Not. Voting. For. Anti-Semitic. Parties.
(Except BNP and FN, other stuff compensates it)

It's even dumber in context, when you note the "Anti-Semitic parties" he's referring to are basically Labour, Tories and the Lib Dem, meaning it reaches a kind of post-modern state of utter absurdity.

Oh yeah I misread it. It still doesn't make that much more sense though, it's like saying "I hate communists but I'll make an exception to vote for the KKE."

And a new addition:

I showed them the pictures of their two grandkids

Krazey is absolutely right here of course.  This story is in fact evidence of the liberals' firm grip on campaign finance abuse, not conservatives.  And something about gay marriage again.

Certainly liberal candidate Barack Obama was instrumental in demolishing the public campaign financing system.

Though actually everyone one of krazen's posts in that thread would qualify as well (actually I don't even need the "in that thread"...)

I've heard Mark Shields make this point.  It's debatable, but hardly absurd.

It's more the cumulation of everything krazen said in that thread. It's all even more absurd if you read it together in context.

And I get the impression krazen is the new BigSkyBob in irritance to Nathan, though at least he hasn't insulted Nathan's mother (well yet).

Remember bandit's political cartoons? Anyone have a link to that archive of brilliance?
