The 2016 Republican National Convention

I was rather hoping to place your statements in their proper context, that's all. Thank you for obliging, 2000.

Here we are once again having another thread get high jacked by a couple posters that can't seem to handle any post I make, and thus demand everything I say be backed up with facts, while ignoring others who post the same type of message.. just one these posters agree with.

Your posts are the only ones calling Obama and Clinton socialists, so they absolutely are not the same type of message as what anyone else is posting.

 

 

 

Are you being serious? Me saying "those two are about a socialist as they come" is not the same as what dudeguyy said above? Let me guess, you are a democrat?

 

EDIT: let me also say, I have no problem with what dudeguyy said.. it is the hypocrisy, that is the point.

I have no problem showing you your hypocrisy, your welcome.

Dudeguyy stated that Trump is mongering fear and has no regard for the truth, easily verifiable facts if you listen to any of his speeches. You are calling people socialists when mountains of evidence clearly show they are not socialists.

 

Go ahead and call me a democrat if you need to, if that's what has to be done in order for you to confirm any of my statements as false. I am not registered with any political party, and really hate the two-party system, but can definitively state that I won't be voting republican anytime soon if f'ing Trump is what's on the ballot.

Come on my friend. It's not hard to get along and be welcomed in here. All you really have to do is be respectful, be willing to listen, and be willing to back up claims with proof or good evidence. Not all of us do all of these all the time, but you seem to hardly be able to ever hit any of them.

 

 

There's a saying that gets used quite a bit around here and it's true. When you've got a problem with some, it is what it is, but when you've got a problem with everyone, you're the problem.

Did you forget this part of his statement?

 

 

Also disappointing is their complete disregard for any type of objective fact. I'm not shocked, because it's a known fact that the factions of the right we're dealing with here (Trump, Newt, Pence, Tea Partiers) have made hay using intellectual dishonesty in the past, but it's still disappointing. Being able to back up what you say should still matter, right?

 

attacking those who agree with Trump...

 

EDIT: again, I don't care that this poster said it, just defending myself... again.

 

EDIT 2: Who will you be voting for, or leaning towards? Myself, I will be voting for Gary, not Trump!

I didn't start this but here we are again others blaming me.. I made a statement about Hillary and here comes zoogs, like I insulted his mother.

 

That's ok, if you want to blame me go ahead. I was just replying back in kind, but yeah, my fault.

 

EDIT: and it is only a couple posters who come after me post after post... not everyone. Someone has been actually giving my posts a +1, shocker sometimes +2. I have an excellent rating on this site.

You made a statement, and yet you don't want to be called out if it happens to be ridiculous?

I made that post to illustrate context -- that it was a statement coming from someone with your particular standards of accuracy and rigorousness of evidence.

If this had been the first, or second, or third, or fourth time, I might've patiently asked you to provide even a supporting argument for your many hysterical claims. That would have been a logical sort of response from you, at some point in this back and forth. But, unfortunately, such an exercise would probably be futile. I don't know, man -- you're welcome to it, as always.

Funny thing about you calling me out.. You calling me out using false facts.. I never called Obama or anyone else a communist. it seems you once again ignore those pesky facts when it fits your agenda (oops I used that word).

 

 

but hey, if it makes you feel better go after every post I make, I am ok with it.

[huskerfan2000]

Can I put a mod on ignore? I will have to try that.

Don't let your head get too big just because bnil or 84 give you a +1... there are no -1s

 

Are you really down to arguing semantics now? You know communist and socialist are used as colloquial terms for extremely left leaning persons.

Don't kid yourself too much - everyone has an "excellent" rating. It's a meaningless word.

how do you know they are doing that? Am I allowed to question your statement for accuracy?

 

Anyway, didn't someone in this thread say they are not the same thing? I could have swore I say that in here.. I will look.

 

EDIT: I can't find it now.. maybe it was a different thread.

Read! Comprehend!

 

Yes, they do mean different things. If you're going to speak technically then you need to make the distinction, hence why I said "colloquially".
