Now I see the important issue: the Democratic convention’s backdrop scenery. I got it. Columns are unamerican. Therefore vote for….

… wait a minute. I wouldn’t have fallen for this arrant nonsese as a kid. Much less as a concerned citizen suffering from 8 years of George Bush But,hey. Republicans, keep pushing the temple thing with all your energy. It could work!

He never disappoints.

Oh so you’re Fafaroo now? I didn’t know.

You’re so right, Jay. You didn’t call me names. You called someone else names. So my charge that you “can’t go three rounds without going to name-calling” is way, waaaaay off base.

I bow to the master!

Oh so you’re Fafaroo now? I didn’t know.

Yeah, that’s because I said politicians and radio talk show hosts should be held to the same standards when it comes to their public discourse.

Uh, you repeated what I said. I know this is your position and its dumb.

You attacked Byrd but cut Rush Limbaugh slack

Another Fafaroo lie. You see Quaker, THIS is why I call people like Fafaroo jackasses. Because they couldn’t debate honestly if their lives depended upon it.

Interestingly, you repeated the same hackneyed move in this very thread: Well, McCain only ran that celebrity for a day and left it at that (as if the ad didn’t have any impact at all on how the MSM and the right wing blogosphere have been characterizing Obama ever since) so McCain clearly isn’t as bad as Obama

Here we go with the “as bad” nonsense. It would be nice if just for once, you could write things using a little bit of intellectual honesty. Neither of the ads were “bad.” I compared in the context of who is trying to get more political mileage out of them? Is that even up for a discussion? Cripes. LEARN. TO. READ. FOR. CONTENT. PLEASE.

I’ll also just note that you are leaving out another part of that conversation, the part about John McCain calling the New York Republican Party and Bush supporters in 2000 a bunch of Stalinists. I wonder why you left that part out and focused, yet again, on the impropriety of Democrats?

I didn’t leave that out because I already gave my view on it. I’m talking about you being nothing but a suck-ass for Democrats. That’s what you are dude. Sorry.

I heard on NPR this morning that he took the time to speak with an envoy from Georgia last night before the speech. The envoy said he was impressed and that if he were Barack, he wouldn’t have talked to him.

You Eeyores need to seriously think about shutting your cake holes for a while. It’s embarrassing.

Well, to be fair, it probably would’ve done that on its own anyhow.

He was Governor of one of the largest states in the union for 6 years before running for President.

No, he does not.

Obama has had infinitely more experience in national politics than Bush. Deal with it. Also, name one accomplishment Bush made while governor (besides killing those retarded people).

That’s terrific. If Obama were running for a game show host that would be great. Unfortunately, his “charASma” (old reference to a David Lee Roth video) gets in the way of things like, oh…calling upon the UN Security Council to pass a resolution to call for an end to the violence in Georgia. When Russia has veto power on the UNSC.

Please, Jay. 6 of the last 7 presidential election have been decided by the candidates’ charisma.

Bring it, Sparky. I say you can’t go three rounds without going to name-calling.

Not.

Jay at 11:19 –

Guess what jackass?

He never disappoints.

Oaky, I’ll admit it. George W. Bush should speak English, and use complete sentences.

Making sense? Too high a standard. I’ll let him slide on that one.

Well, what day is it?

and practically ran it into the ground.

Putting aside that that’s all bullshit, he does have one thing that the Republican nominee doesn’t seem to have: A plan to turn this ship around and a way to pay for it all.

What do you got? A rich POW with a pocketful of lobbyists.

Jay’s upset because he’s the king of OW troll scolds and he’s getting called on it. Jay, “Give it a rest ok?”

Yeah, that’s because I said politicians and radio talk show hosts should be held to the same standards when it comes to their public discourse. You attacked Byrd but cut Rush Limbaugh slack because, you know, he doesn’t have any influence or anything. You wanna hold Byrd to a high standard of speech, fine. Do the same for Limbaugh and Hannity and other hacks. If you can’t do that, just shut the fuck up about it.

Interestingly, you repeated the same hackneyed move in this very thread: Well, McCain only ran that celebrity for a day and left it at that (as if the ad didn’t have any impact at all on how the MSM and the right wing blogosphere have been characterizing Obama ever since) so McCain clearly isn’t as bad as Obama and the Democrats who exploited poor John McCain’s houses gaffe for like, you know, two days.

I’ll also just note that you are leaving out another part of that conversation, the part about John McCain calling the New York Republican Party and Bush supporters in 2000 a bunch of Stalinists. I wonder why you left that part out and focused, yet again, on the impropriety of Democrats?

Conservatives didn’t say that either! I mean, you guys are like the kid from The Sixth Sense with the crap you see.

Of course, now that we’ve all seen the stage set and know it looked nothing like a “greek temple” can we expect you to now scold all those conservatives who made such a ridiculously big deal out of it.

Guess what jackass? I already thought they DID make a big deal out of it. It didn’t matter if he gave his speech with some columns in the background or the latest issue of Playboy. It’s what he said that was important to me.

And, Jay, I don’t have a problem criticizing Democrats when Democrats do stupid things.

I’m sure you don’t. The fact is, you NEVER HAVE and you run around telling everybody else what bad little boys they are. You’re like the kid who gets picked to be class monitor and happily tattles on everybody else when the teacher comes back.

But I also don’t go around pretending I’m some how above the political fray because of my “principles.” That’s your attitude in a nutshell.

Please. I never pretend to be above the political fray. My ideology is pretty wide open and I will call out conservatives when they deserve to be called out.

The first time I see you criticize a Democrat will be the first time.

What is it with conservatives and projection? You’re first comment in this thread ends: “Give it a rest ok?” Give what a rest? Oh yeah, Oliver used the phrase “un-American” instead of “not traditionally American” in describing what conservatives think of Obama’s stage set.

If that isn’t a world class moronic scold, I don’t what is.

Of course, now that we’ve all seen the stage set and know it looked nothing like a “greek temple” can we expect you to now scold all those conservatives who made such a ridiculously big deal out of it.

And, Jay, I don’t have a problem criticizing Democrats when Democrats do stupid things. But I also don’t go around pretending I’m some how above the political fray because of my “principles.” That’s your attitude in a nutshell.

Actually, Oliver can attest to the fact that I’ve been critical of Republicans during my years of commenting here.

Like I said however, you act the Comment Section Scold, but the fact is, when have you been critical of Democrats while posting comments here? When have you ever applied the same standards to Democrats that you do Republicans. When?

If your intention is to do nothing but play the scold, then be my guest. It’s boring, but apparently you enjoy it.

Jay, since I know it’s impossible for you to actually apply the same standards to Republicans that you apply to Democrats, I’d settle for you just shutting the fuck up entirely. Especially, if you plan to continue with your main, if not your sole, purpose for commenting on Oliver’s blog is to rail against liberal hypocrisy. It’s kind of like, you know, hypocritical.
