kelpdiver 2 #26 May 20, 2014 rhaig and we move on to the next step in the formulaic Kallend method of internet argument. Take the omission of response to something (anything) and use it as evidence of reading comprehension problems. uh, you guys are causing the progression here. First Boomer for making a misguided comment on how "another" refers to a single person, and then you for an insipid attempt to call Kallend a grammar troll. Why not stick to the actual subject? Right...because the attempt to say that this latest person isn't a trend of Tea Party idiots wasn't working out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #27 May 20, 2014 jgoose71 In truth what happened to the tea party is they kind of disbanded. The mainstream media did everything in there power to label them as "racist, extremists, terrorists, fringe far right religious zealots" and to an extent they succeeded. And I'm sure you'll also claim that the MAINSTREAM MEDIA caused America to stick that a genius Sarah Palin was a lightweight. It couldn't have possibly been that they saw her for what she is. You overstate the influence of the media and understate the ability of the people to see bullshit. If the MM was so all powerful, how the hell did Shrub beat Bore? And then get reelected? Quote So a lot of people, realizing that splitting the Republican party in half would give the Democrats an unchallenged majority for the foreseeable future, and decided to get back in the fold and try to hold the republicans accountable to the basic idea of fiscal responsibility (the basic idea that started the tea party). The GOP split itself in half in reaction to its terrible losses in 2008. It didn't take anyone else to make this happen. The party cratered, and deservedly so for its performance. Quote The tea party that you see now are really a bunch of hold outs. They may not be the most well spoken bunch, but to continue to label them falsely because you can't understand their point of view is wrong. if it walks like a fucktwit, and sounds like one...instead of one Ross Perot, it's a big bunch of em.

kallend 2,136 #28 May 20, 2014 rhaig******spelling and grammar trolls.... the weakest sort of internet argument. Secondary but indicative. The self-contradictory content was the really ignorant part. I guess you missed that though. and we move on to the next step in the formulaic Kallend method of internet argument. Take the omission of response to something (anything) and use it as evidence of reading comprehension problems. (careful with that word "ignorant". it'll get you banned unless the mods agree with you, then all the rules don't apply) Since when was it against forum rules to call some third party who displays a poorly spelled, self contradictory poster "ignorant"? Here are some more of your buddies who parade their ignorance for all to see: mugsysrapsheet.com/4blog/misspelled_tea-party_sign_02.jpg mugsysrapsheet.com/4blog/misspelled_tea-party_sign_01.jpg assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.15322.1313671353!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/gallery_1200/gal-teabonics-14-jpg.jpg i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/065/266/Teabonics-thumb-400x252-1266.jpg?1281632927 ...

Calling someone "ignorant" is against forum rules. Calling part of the content of someone's post "ignorant" is not. So whenever someone insults Obama or Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi, it violates forum rules? I guess we'll be missing a few right wingers if that is enforced. Your sticky at the top of the forum states: "there is no rule prohibiting attacks against groups or non-DZ.commers". Was the individual carrying the poster in the picture** a DZ.commer? ** picture in question was this one: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-FCS-xwHjt8Q/TksRz3PW4CI/AAAAAAAAATo/aR9LEeQ57bU/s1600/medicare-keep-your-hands-off-my-medicare.jpg And that is what I called "ignorant"....
