Fucking hell!
I thought it would at least be more… subtle than that.
There’s no coded language there. No dog whistle politics happened there.
Even lee Atwater would say, ‘Dude. Dial it down a notch.’
Great graphic!
I heard that was Shelby Steele’s cousin.
Geez, better this guy was a Democrat and former grand leader in the KKK, surely then his racist leanings (which includes using the n-word on national TV as recent as 2 years ago) would not only get a pass, but he’d easily get re-elected over and over again.
Don’t we all just love liberals and their double standards.
The thing I like about the current crop of cons and rethugs is that they are oft times honest about just how nuts/racist they are.
I can respect these guys I know who I’m dealing with.
On to the original post this guy is a total nut burger. And needs to get more national air time.
He needs to get booked on Rush ASAP!
Not only is he Uncle Ruckus, but he reminds me of the Dave Chapelle character of the blind black guy who thought he was white.
Geez, better this guy was a Democrat
Look over there!
Let’s start the pot right now. How long before left refers to this guy as a “leader” within the GOP and conservative community?
Jay – much like how Ward Churchill was trotted out as Chief of the Democratic Politburo?
Jay Caruso: “Let’s start the pot right now. How long before left refers to this guy as a ‘leader’ within the GOP and conservative community?”
Sure. You go first. Come up with a concrete prediction and I’ll do the same. Then we will see who is right.
You forgot the part in The Christian Science Monitor article that said:
“The Mississippi Republican Party is not supporting Lambus. GOP
Chairman Brad White said Lambus’ message doesn’t reflect “the
values that we represent.”"
I’m sure it was a simple oversight on your part, right?
Joaquin: “I’m sure it was a simple oversight on your part, right?”
Lee Atwater: “You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you. Backfires.”
It’s not that he’s not a Republican, it’s just he’s using a playbook that 50 years old.
wow, lots of right-wingers out today. did they just now find the site, Oliver? huh. success, i suppose…. on the other hand, ugh.
Did Mr. Aaron say “ugh”?
Poor baby.
How long before left refers to this guy as a “leader” within the GOP and conservative community?
I’ll refer to him as a “leader” if and only if I watch elected Republican officials bend over backwards to apologize if they ever said anything about Lambus that might be critical. You have my word on that, Jay.
Speaking of leadership, did anybody catch John McCain’s rousing defense of his daughter in the face of Laura Ingraham’s “plus-size model” comments? You know, the defense that began and ended with McCain saying, essentially, “Fathers and daughters sometimes disagree on things?”
I dare any talking head, Republican or Democrat, to try showing such bullying disrespect to Sasha or Malia Obama. Barack, I’m sure, would have something less milquetoast to say to the pile of protoplasm that remained after Michelle was through with them.
Lee Atwater: “You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you. Backfires.“– Southern Strategy
You just can’t help yourself, can you, SS?
You just can’t help yourself, can you, SS?
Why should he? The modern Republican party, the party of Rush Limbaugh, keeps on employing the Southern Strategy. It’s still important to point out that unfortunate fact.
Me: “Lee Atwater: “You start out in 1954 by saying, ‘Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you. Backfires.’”
Dennis the Bigot: “You just can’t help yourself, can you, SS?”
Two points…
1.) You don’t think it is relevant here?
2.) If you don’t like me pointing out your party is racist, then change your party. Hell, change yourself, cause you fit right in with your anti-Semitism.
Your party is racist. YOU are racist. And I’m not going to stop pointing that out just because you are crying about it.
And if you think crying about it is winning you points, guess again. All it does is make you look like an even biggest racist asshole.
From a previous thread…

I’m separating this point so you might actually answer it…
Dennis the Bigot, why didn’t you mention Jon Stewart’s brother was a banker the first time you brought up his name?
This question is still unanswered.
We all know Dennis is incapable of answering simple questions he knows will embarrass him. He will respond by ignoring the simple question, changing the subject, or basking in a sea of whiny defensiveness.
Dennis is…
The Nathan Thurm of the blogosphere. Only less effectual.

What. An. Asshole.
Doesn’t he know that the only acceptable lynch mobs today are the ones ACORN is driving around, pointing out the homes of AIG executives? The ones Stephen Colbert is offering to pitchfork?
Re: Strowbridge: I’m thinking of opening a betting pool. Does he have the Atwater quote memorized, bookmarked, saved for cutting and pasting, or hotkeyed?
I’m betting on the third one. He’s too lazy to re-type it every time, bookmarking would be risky, and hotkeying would run the risk of inserting it where it might not be appropriate, so I suspect it’s saved as a text file on his computer.
On second thought, the hotkeying might be correct, too. Apparently, to him, it’s always relevant, so the possibility of an accidental deployment isn’t really a problem.
J.
The ones Stephen Colbert is offering to pitchfork?
(Psst. Dude, Stephen Colbert is a parody.)
Re: Strowbridge: I’m thinking of opening a betting pool. Does he have the Atwater quote memorized, bookmarked, saved for cutting and pasting, or hotkeyed?
As long as the modern Republican party, the party of Rush Limbaugh (et al), continues with its wildly unfortunate pattern of racism, then hopefully Mr. Strowbridge and other decent people will continue to push back.
Jay Tea: Doesn’t he know that the only acceptable lynch mobs today are the ones ACORN is driving around
And you chide CSS for being one-note?
Jay Tea: The ones Stephen Colbert is offering to pitchfork?
If you take anything Colbert says seriously you have a weak grasp of what’s real.
Jay Tea: I’m betting on the third one. He’s too lazy to re-type it every time, bookmarking would be risky, and hotkeying would run the risk of inserting it where it might not be appropriate, so I suspect it’s saved as a text file on his computer.
You have some objection to a person making sure they provide an accurate quote? Interesting.
Objection, Sean? Not in the least. Just curious as to his methodology.
I have a bunch of quotes I keep in mind, but I don’t use them as much. Robert Heinlein is a great source, especially TANSTAAFL. Einstein’s definition of insanity is another. P. J. O’Rourke is a nigh-endless fount of great lines, and there’s always Winston Churchill.
Strowbridge, though, is a Johnny One-Note. That makes it a lot simpler for him.
J.
As long as the modern Republican party, the party of Rush Limbaugh (et al), continues with its wildly unfortunate pattern of racism, then hopefully Mr. Strowbridge and other decent people will continue to push back. Mister ed
Push back against who, Mister ed? He’s preaching to the choir here except for the few conservatives who show up, and none of them are buying what you two are trying way too hard to sell.
Joaquin: You forgot the part in The Christian Science Monitor article that said:
“The Mississippi Republican Party is not supporting Lambus. GOP
Chairman Brad White said Lambus’ message doesn’t reflect “the
values that we represent.”"
Except he merely linked to an entire article. I know you desperately want to project Oliver being misleading but he is only requiring you actually read the article. Nice try though Sparky:)
Push back against who, Mister ed?
Against the racist modern Republican party, and its agents and defenders (i.e., you). I thought that was obvious.
And it’s “whom,” Dennis. As the blogosphere’s Nathan Thurm (albeit less effectual), I figured you would know that.
We all know Dennis is incapable of answering simple questions he knows will embarrass him. He will respond by ignoring the simple question, changing the subject, or basking in a sea of whiny defensiveness.
Looks like Mr. Thurm…er…Dennis delivered the trifecta. He could have been more defensive though. Nice job, Dennis. It’s not for nothing that your are the Nathan Thurm of the blogosphere. Only less effectual.
Care to answer the question now:
Why didn’t you mention Jon Stewart’s brother was a banker the first time you brought up his name?
MrGreyGhost, Byrd has apologized for his Klan years. He also apologized for using the n word on TV (which, by the way, happened eight years ago, not two). Has this idiot apologized for his pro-lynching comments?
Against the racist modern Republican party, and its agents and defenders (i.e., you). I thought that was obvious. Mister ed
You’re not reaching a whole lot of Republicans here, Mister ed. Nor a lot of its agents and defenders. I mean, do you think repeating it to the few of those who show up here will change anyone’s mind? If you do, what do you suppose is the magic number? 500? 600? A thousand?
You don’t do it to convince anyone save yourself.
Ignoring the question yet again. The blogosphere’s less effectual Nathan Thurm is indeed a wonder to behold.
He even believes, apparently, that we decent reality-based people only push back against racist assholes here and nowhere else.
Let’s see if Dennis can answer the simple question this time:
Oh Dennis: Why didn’t you mention Jon Stewart’s brother was a banker the first time you brought up his name>
(I’m guessing he doesn’t answer, changes the subject, and/or gets all defensive. Let’s watch.)
Ed: “(I’m guessing he doesn’t answer, changes the subject, and/or gets all defensive. Let’s watch.)”
Calls you a stalker, I mean calls us stalkers, then refers to you as Aqualung and me Southern Strategy.
Your questions are endless, tiresome and repetitive, Mister ed. Answers are only met with more questions from you. It’s like you’re on an endless quest for a conclusion you’ve already reached and will never change your mind about.
I did bring up Stewart’s banker brother using his birth name in that thread. If I was anti-Semitic, surely you and Southern Strategy and anyone else could find at least one example of my even mentioning anything to do with Jews or Israel in a derogatory manner. You could go through the archives all night and all day tomorrow and you won’t find one. If I was anti-Semitic, you’d know it.
You couldn’t find one example of racism from me either, ridiculously obsessed as you are about it.
I did bring up Stewart’s banker brother using his birth name in that thread.
Yes, but I’m pretty sure the question was
It’s the bold part that’s critical to the question (but I’m guessing you knew that).
You couldn’t find one example of racism from me either, ridiculously obsessed as you are about it.
Ah, but you are certainly eager to defend racist assholes, notably Rush Limbaugh. That’s pretty despicable too.
So Dennis, the blogosphere’s less effectual Nathan Thurm, why didn’t you mention Jon Stewart’s brother was a banker the first time you brought up his name?
(I don’t think we’ll get an answer this time either.)
why didn’t you mention Jon Stewart’s brother was a banker the first time you brought up his name? OC-D ed
I state his full birth name in passing, with no reason given at all as to why until idiots started accusing me of anti-Semitism. His banker brother still using his birth name wasn’t the only reason. I had seen it printed in full in several other places, one of which I linked to, none of them in any kind of derogatory manner, so I was a bit surprised at the accusation. I said his name about as casually as Strowbridge calls Jay Tea and Jay by their full names even though they never use their full names here.
Now, as to this question you think is so indicting, since you and Southern Strategy were asking so many questions on that thread that day, why didn’t either of you ask me that same question then?
I state his full birth name in passing
Yeah, I remember this from last year, when Republicans kept going on about Barack HUSSEIN Obama and then saying “What? It’s his name! I have no ulterior motives whatsoever in saying that his name is Barack HUSSEIN Obama! Look at my innocent kitten eyes. Blink, blink. Hussein.”
Look at my innocent kitten eyes. Blink, blink. Hussein.
This!
Dennis the Bigot: “Your questions are endless, tiresome and repetitive, Mister ed. Answers are only met with more questions from you.”
How would you know? Have you given a straightforward answer?
“I state his full birth name in passing, with no reason given at all as to why…”
We know this part, dipshit. We want to know why you decided to use his full name.
“I said his name about as casually as Strowbridge calls Jay Tea and Jay by their full names even though they never use their full names here.”
I use they names because there’s two of them, and I’ve mixed them up in the past. There’s absolutely no way I could be making an ethnic slur against either of them by using their names, because I don’t know what ethnicity they are.
But thanks for trying to change the subject, again.
“Now, as to this question you think is so indicting, since you and Southern Strategy were asking so many questions on that thread that day, why didn’t either of you ask me that same question then?”
Maybe because you were changing your story so often that we didn’t have time to question any one of them on the specifics.
You actually claimed you called him that because, “…he changed it and won’t say why.”
So, your excuses so far have been… (in no particular order)
1.) It’s his name.
2.) You saw it in print.
3.) He changed it and didn’t say why.
4.) He doesn’t like it and you wanted to bug him.
5.) His brother is a banker.
6.) To bug Ed.
And I might have missed some. Since then, you’ve seemed to settle on the, ‘His brother is a banker’ excuse, which is why you we are questioning you on it now.
(By the way, I did question that excuse then.
“His brother? You called him by his birth name because of his brother?
This is either incredible subtle, or fucking lie.”)
So…
Why didn’t you mention Jon Stewart’s brother was a banker the first time you brought up his name?
If that was really the reason, you should be able to answer this. On the other hand, if the situation is as we suspect, that his is an Ad Hoc excuse, there will be no explanation.
Failure to give an explanation is evidence we are correct.
Rush Limbaugh is a racist asshole, and he is the leader of the Republican Party.
Shit like this doesn’t surprise anybody any longer.
Jaim says: “Rush Limbaugh is a racist asshole…”
Not everyone agrees with you here. Dennis is still uncommitted.
I use they names because there’s two of them, and I’ve mixed them up in the past. There’s absolutely no way I could be making an ethnic slur against either of them by using their names, because I don’t know what ethnicity they are. — Southern Strategy
You say Jay Tea and Jay’s full names to piss them off. I said Jon Stewart’s full name to piss you and Mister ed off. No difference. Seeing as how you and ed fail to come up with any other even remotely Semitic references by me, anti- or otherwise, and you’ve both posted at least twenty times each on this topic, I’d have to say as far as what I did it was Mission Accomplished.
It is just simply not anti-Semitic to say Jon Stewart’s birth name. Sorry, guys, no matter how hard you try, that’s just the way it is.
Please, though, by all means, keep trying.
Me: “I use they names because there’s two of them, and I’ve mixed them up in the past. There’s absolutely no way I could be making an ethnic slur against either of them by using their names, because I don’t know what ethnicity they are.”
Dennis the Bigot: “You say Jay Tea and Jay’s full names to piss them off.”
Does it? I don’t recall ever seeing them complain. Not once.
“I said Jon Stewart’s full name to piss you and Mister ed off.”
Really? Why would it piss us off? Why would using his full name piss us off? If his name was John Stewart Smith would it piss us off? Have you ever said Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. when talking about the Vice President. And why come up with four or five other excuses?
Nope. It doesn’t make sense.
“No difference.”
No difference? There are two people here with similar enough names that I’ve confused them in the past. Are there two Jon Stewarts we talk about on a regular basis? No. So I guess there is a difference.
“It is just simply not anti-Semitic to say Jon Stewart’s birth name.”
Actually, it’s the only explanation that fits all of the facts.
You brought up his birth name because is sounded Jewish.
You brought up his birth name because you are anti-Semitic.
And it is not just Ed and I who think so, so you can’t deflect on this one.
“Please, though, by all means, keep trying.”
We are not the ones trying to make you sound anti-Semitic. We are just quoting you, which makes you sound anti-Semitic.
None of your Ad Hoc excuses make sense.
You latest one seems to be, ‘I wanted to sound like an anti-Semite to piss you guys off.’
You wanted to sound like a racist asshole as a way of trolling.
Nope. Not buying it.
And even if it were half true, it would be evidence of your bigotry. You would find it acceptable to use anti-Semitism for your entertainment.
Nope. None of it makes sense when looking at the whole picture.
Jay Tea: Objection, Sean? Not in the least. Just curious as to his methodology.
WTF difference does his methodology make? Do you really think that the way in which someone types in their argument is something worth discussing? Why not, oh, maybe actually debate the point being made instead of going of on completely irrelevant distractions?
Jay Tea: I have a bunch of quotes I keep in mind, but I don’t use them as much. Robert Heinlein is a great source, especially TANSTAAFL. Einstein’s definition of insanity is another.
By which standard EVERYone here is insane.
Jay Tea: Strowbridge, though, is a Johnny One-Note.
Says Mr ACORN TelePromptr. OK, I guess you have twice as many notes.
If I was anti-Semitic, you’d know it.
Then I appreciate your restraint.
So, your excuses so far have been… (in no particular order)
1.) It’s his name.
2.) You saw it in print.
3.) He changed it and didn’t say why.
4.) He doesn’t like it and you wanted to bug him.
5.) His brother is a banker.
6.) To bug Ed.
And I might have missed some. Since then, you’ve seemed to settle on the, ‘His brother is a banker’ excuse, which is why you we are questioning you on it now.
The unseen no. 7 would be “He’s a big Jewy Jew. And his brother is a big Jewy Jew Banker.”
Admit it, Denny, so we can move on with our lives.
And it is not just Ed and I who think so, so you can’t deflect on this one.
Indeed. Struck a chord with me straight away.
Nope. None of it makes sense when looking at the whole picture. Southern Strategy
There is no whole picture here. Just you imagining something that isn’t there. A compulsive desire to prove a hunch you have that has no basis in fact and which you have no context nor other instances to support that hunch. All you can do is ask more questions and repeat the allegation.
The scientific methodology you were trained in is failing you and it pisses you off.
The scientific methodology you were trained in is failing you and it pisses you off.
Maybe he should apply some of the tenets of the Laffer Curve. Dumbass.
About the most prominant trolls here:
1. Dennis knows what the “Southern Stratagy is and what it’s effects. He is definitely racist and intellectually dishonest.
Dennis also knows all of Lee Atwater’s quotes.
2. Joaquin is just a racist fool with a brainpan only big enough to hold a pea but he’s fun (and easy) to mock.
3. Jay (Weak) Tea is a “schizo-blogger” going from progressive blog to blog under assumed identities just to incite.
I applaud you guys for continually putting troll regulars in their place by out gunning them in intellect and knowledge.
It’s fun to watch. Thank you.
Indeed. Struck a chord with me straight away. Duros62
Oh, really, Duros? Go back and read the whole thread. You asked if it was meant to be a Jewish joke and I said no, that that was his real name. You said nothing more about it until much later, sticking to the topic of the thread instead, and even then it appeared to be little of an issue.
—-
From the thread that day:
Me: “Stewart jokes about the name change often. It
Me: “Nope. None of it makes sense when looking at the whole picture.”
Dennis the Bigot: “There is no whole picture here.”
There’s always a whole picture. You don’t look at one only part of the equation and ignore the rest. You look at everything. You look for patterns. You look for the explanation that is consistent will all of the facts.
And yes, that is scientific.
And the only explanation that fits will all of the facts is… You are anti-Semitic and you brought up Jon Stewart’s birth name to emphasize he was Jewish.
“The scientific methodology you were trained in is failing you and it pisses you off.”
You’ve been shown to be the racist asshole that you are, and it is pissing you off.
How else can you explain the list of previous excuses?
And, ‘I was trying to make myself look anti-Semitic to piss you off!’ is not a valid excuse.
Dennis knows what the “Southern Stratagy is and what it’s effects. He is definitely racist and intellectually dishonest.
Dennis also knows all of Lee Atwater’s quotes. Jack J.
You know that how?
You seem to think Strowbridge’s constantly arguing a point for which he has no basis of fact nor examples is a sustitute for intellect and knowledge. You laud him because you don’t even have the ability to do the former.
You’re just glad someone else is there taking the fall instead of it being you.
Oh, really, Duros? Go back and read the whole thread. You asked if it was meant to be a Jewish joke and I said no, that that was his real name.
But I saw it for what it was, Dennis, regardless of whether I made a big deal out of it.
Nice thing about discussions on the Interwebs, you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to.
So, what, it’s my fault you made an anti-semitic reference?
Duros: “Indeed. Struck a chord with me straight away.”
Dennis says: “Oh, really, Duros? Go back and read the whole thread. You asked if it was meant to be a Jewish joke…”
So he asked right away… and this is evidence that…?
Dennis the Bigot: “You seem to think Strowbridge’s constantly arguing a point for which he has no basis of fact…”
You really think the Southern Strategy has no basis in fact?
Are you really that stupid? Or are you just so completely racist that you no longer recognize it.
The latter makes the most sense, by the way.
You’ve been shown to be the racist asshole that you are, and it is pissing you off. Southern Strategy
You see, I have not been shown to be racist. Nor anti-Semitic. You don’t have one example of either. If I was either of those, surely you could come up with them, even if you had to make it up.
You can’t because there aren’t any.
And that frustrates you to the point that you just can’t let it go.
Obsessive. Compulsive. Disorder.
A very bad case of it.
Accept defeat Strowbridge or keep humiliating yourself. Your call. Either way is perfectly fine by me.
Right back atcha, champ.
Nice thing about discussions on the Interwebs, you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. Duros62
You were quite verbose that day, Duros. You were preoccupied in a futile attempt to find quotes of mine from before that somehow indicated I was blaming Obama 100% for the whole market decline.
Most of my prior post from above here got truncated.
Here is what you said much later in that thread that day:
Me: “Stewart jokes about the name change often. It
I consider the matter closed Denny, Not sure what you’re on about.
Perhaps I was more distracted in smacking down your argument that you never once blamed Obama for the stock market decline when in fact you have been since November 5th.
But no, I will concede the point that you never blamed him ENTIRELY for the WHOLE decline.
Just most of it.
Duros- this keeps getting lopped off. I said this to you:
Stewart jokes about the name change often. It’s not anti-Semitic to call him that.
You responded:
“Perhaps not, but you do seem to use people’s names and/or blog ID to try and belittle or demean.
Which makes you look mean.“–Duros62
Mean? Maybe. Not anti-Semitic. As I said above, Strowbridge does the exact same thing. The point is, you weren’t so concerned about it being anti-Semitic then, but for some reason you pretend now that it struck a chord with you.
Btw, I called you Duracell once and you said ‘Good one’.
But no, I will concede the point that you never blamed him ENTIRELY for the WHOLE decline.
Just most of it.
The measures he was taking and the way the market was reacting was quite unsettling then. It was freaking everyone out. It was like there was no bottom and it seemed as if TOTUS was conveying a message of complete indifference.
As I said above, Strowbridge does the exact same thing.
He does it to differentiate b/t the two Jays, as he has said. Before you showed up here, it was an issue.
Btw, I called you Duracell once and you said ‘Good one’.
And it was. Sometimes you hit gold.
It was like there was no bottom and it seemed as if TOTUS was conveying a message of complete indifference.
That was not the message you were conveying. I don’t know what TOTUS is, but I’m sure it’s pithy.
The measures he was taking and the way the market was reacting was quite unsettling then. It was freaking everyone out. It was like there was no bottom and it seemed as if TOTUS was conveying a message of complete indifference.
(1) And how are you feeling now, Chicken Little?
(2) Is the “T” for Treasurer? (Serious, no snark.)
Okay, Treasurer of the United States. That makes sense.
However, I don’t think it is the job of the treasurer to cheerlead.
(1) And how are you feeling now, Chicken Little?
A little better. Lotta wood to chop though. I was expecting this dead cat bounce a while ago. Still tons of cash on the sidelines.
(2) Is the “T” for Treasurer? (Serious, no snark.)
TOTUS. (/snark)
Oh! How funny! TOTUS! Ha! Ha! I have never heard this joke before! I find this joke original and amusing! I want to hear it again and again for months and months! I don’t ever want to hear another joke ever, for surely all other jokes will pale in comparison to this TOTUS joke! Ha!
Nope, I was right the first time.
Pithy.
And weak-ass shit.
Pithy.
That’s code for your approval, Duros. I picked up on that right away. It struck a chord.
Me: “You’ve been shown to be the racist asshole that you are, and it is pissing you off.”
Dennis the Bigot: “You see, I have not been shown to be racist. Nor anti-Semitic.”
Yes. Yes you have.
To use a page from your playbook… Why isn’t anyone defending you?
“Obsessive. Compulsive. Disorder.”
You make an ass out of yourself, repeatedly, and I point out that fact, repeatedly.
I guess you could call that OCD. If you don’t know the definition of OCD.
It’s not an obsession to ask the same question as many times as it takes to get a real answer.
Dennis the Bigot: “You were preoccupied in a futile attempt to find quotes of mine from before that somehow indicated I was blaming Obama 100% for the whole market decline.”
I explained that one, you moron.
They never said you blamed Obama for the entire drop-off.
You are just illiterate.
Yes. Yes you have. Southern Strategy
No. No I haven’t. Not one.
Ever.
Find one or STFU. Or keep mindlessly posting, whichever suits you.
It’s not an obsession to ask the same question as many times as it takes to get a real answer.
That’s not true. You have a severe case of OCD. Once you’ve made up your mind there is no end to the questions and no answer that will suffice. Classic OCD, my friend.
I suspect this is not news to you. For your sake I hope not.
I explained that one, you moron.
They never said you blamed Obama for the entire drop-off.
You are just illiterate. Southern Strategy
Yes they did. You are the moron. You’re the same idiot who said Freddie and Fannie had nothing whatsoever to do with houses being flipped.
Fact: Your knowledge of things financial is based entirely on your viewings of Wall Street and Rollover.
That’s code for your approval, Duros.
Pithy =/= “Wicked Pissah!”
Once you’ve made up your mind there is no end to the questions and no answer that will suffice.
But you never answered it directly.
They never said you blamed Obama for the entire drop-off.
You are just illiterate. Southern Strategy
Yes they did.
No, not exactly. Someone else made a general statement to that effect. You got all huffy and red-faced about “THAT’S A DAMN LIE! TAKE IT BACK!”
You then said you never made any remarks blaming Obama for the drop in the stock market, which I think I proved you did. Then you backtracked and said you never blamed him for the ENTIRE drop in the stock market.
Except when you did. On November 5th.
Dennis, the blogosphere’s less effectual Nathan Thrum says,
No. No I haven’t. Not one.
Ah, but you might have noticed that Dennis, TBLENT, sure is quick to defend undeniably racist assholes, notably Rush Limbaugh. That’s pretty douchey.
Me: “Yes. Yes you have.”
Dennis the Bigot: “No. No I haven’t. Not one.”
You keep repeating this claim. Almost like you are obsessed with it. Or perhaps you feel compelled to say it over and over again.
Dennis the Bigot: “Once you’ve made up your mind there is no end to the questions and no answer that will suffice. Classic OCD, my friend.”
Ummm… No, no that’s not OCD. Granted, it wasn’t my major in University, but I know enough psychology to tell you that what you described is not OCD.
On a side note, you can’t refuse to answer a question in a comprehensive way and then complain when people repeat the question. Well, you can. You just can’t expect people to think you’ve made some witty comeback when you accuse them of OCD / Stalking / etc.
Me: “I explained that one, you moron.
They never said you blamed Obama for the entire drop-off.
You are just illiterate.”
Dennis: “Yes they did.”
No they didn’t. They never claimed you said Obama was responsible for the DOW falling from 14,000 to under 7000.
I don’t even think they understand that you think that’s what they said.
Their claim is that you blamed Obama for the drop in the DOW from the time he took office till it bottomed out. And their quotes show this to be true. You did blame Obama for the drop in the DOW.
Now… and I want you to read this carefully… here is your chance to prove all this OCD bullshit isn’t projection.
This argument is based almost entirely on miscommunication. No one is claiming that you are blaming Obama for the drop in the DOW from its peak at 14,000 to under 7000. All you need to do is say, ‘It certainly sounded like they did.’ and the argument ends. It is your fault, but at least it ends.
Dennis the Bigot: “You’re the same idiot who said Freddie and Fannie had nothing whatsoever to do with houses being flipped.”
I can’t remember if it was you, Jay Caruso, or J.G.Thayer who I had that argument with in the beginning. However, in the end, the person I was arguing with said Freddie Mae was responsible because they helped people buy low priced homes (there is a limit on the price of a home Fannie Mac will insure) which therefore increased the prices of all home. In that case, ALL economic transactions helped create the housing bubble, because all economics transactions are linked. You buying a DVD helped someone stay employed, which means someone bought a home they wouldn’t otherwise buy.
Perhaps saying they had nothing to do with it was too strong of language; however, they were not the primary cause, nor even a secondary cause.
Dennis the Bigot: “No. No I haven’t. Not one.”
Ed: “Ah, but you might have noticed that Dennis, TBLENT, sure is quick to defend undeniably racist assholes, notably Rush Limbaugh. That’s pretty douchey.”
He’s not racist! He just defends racists on the internet.
It all makes sense now.

This is the case. I apologize if I misrepresented your semantically precise statement.

You could apply the same description to the ACLU. They’ve defended the KKK.

I’m pretty sure the ACLU still say the KKK are racist. They don’t pretend they are being misquoted.
