Some of the guys here do not want to have discussions in good faith. Immediately, anyone who disagrees is a pinhead or a communist or a redneck. A good example of this, in the Shut Down Gitmo thread… somebody said the opposition to Gitmo was all due to people who “Blame America First”.
The person who said that is simply not interested in an honest discussion.
When you start off assuming that the person that you are talking to “hates America” right off the bat, then you can’t possibly have an honest discussion.[/quote]
Weren’t you the one that tried to bring the Swift Boat Vets into the discussion of James Webb?
Your every posting lately looks like it came from the Democratic Underground and has strayed wildly off topic just so you could insult Bush.

So what? What’s your point?
That I must hate America, if I don’t like Bush? That I blame America first? You’re just proving my point.
The term ‘swift boat’ is now part of the common vocabulary… it means attacking and disrespecting a veteran’s service record… and I’ll bet dollars to donuts that somebody does try to swift boat Webb during his upcoming race. Hell the right wing tried to swift boat Senator Murtha just a few weeks ago, and Murtha spent 30 years in the Marines, including time as a drill instructor.
Here’s an editorial that James Webb wrote about the swift boating of Murtha:
James Webb: Targeting of vets will hurt the GOP
The administration’s failure to support veterans goes beyond smearing of political opponents.

Cool.
My point is that we can’t have an honest dialogue because guys like you think Liberals hate America. So you can’t just disagree with people, you have to lower the discussion and change the subject by opining that you are talking to a “bad person”.

What “guys like me” are you talking about? People that enjoy inteligent discussion of issues?
I think you have me confused with someone that goes on pointless rants.
If you’re ever stuck and looking for a cheap laugh, just discuss getting an itchy ass in a public place. For some reason, nothing is funnier than an itchy anus.
what movie is that from? I know i’ve heard it before put i can’t remeber where.
I believe that a Mr Homer J Simpson may have actually first said this line. I cant remember which episode though.[/quote]
it’s from the simpsons, when skinner and crabapple hook up in the janitors closet. the story changes from person to person, ending with the edition of purple monkey dishwasher to the story. i thought it might be fitting givin the context of the thread:)
