Heads Up, Hitler-Was-a-Leftist Revisionists!

Jun 05, 2010 15:59

Because one of your boosters, Glenn Beck, just accidentally stuck his foot clean through Godwin's Law and cut himself badly in the process.

Glenn Beck, 6/5/10:

- this is a book, The Red Network, this came in from 1936. People, McCarthy was absolutely right. Now he may not have, he may have used bad tactics, but he was absolutely right. This is a ( Read more... )

You: one of your boosters ...
Steve: you leftists just cant imagine why ...

You: Well, hey,
Steve: aw hell yeah!!!

It was easy to compare as your post and his are next to each other.

Either you're increasingly sounding like Steve, or Steve is increasingly sounding like you (or most probably, both). There are deeper conclusions that could be made but I'll abstain from expanding on that. :-P

Which is the sock account?

Re: Ying of the Yang mahnmut June 6 2010, 07:17:05 UTC

Steve.

Re: Ying of the Yang htpcl June 6 2010, 08:20:17 UTC

This means that they're both moving toward each other, i.e. toward the middle. Which isn't a bad thing I suppose.

Re: Ying of the Yang paft June 6 2010, 15:46:22 UTC

So using the second person plural in a post puts me on a par with Steve? Why?

Re: Ying of the Yang htpcl June 6 2010, 17:06:11 UTC

If you haven't figured out why until now, I guess nothing/no-one can help you.

Re: Ying of the Yang paft June 6 2010, 17:14:42 UTC

You've deliberately insulted me, htpcl. Be enough of a mensch to stand by your words and explain them.

Re: Ying of the Yang htpcl June 6 2010, 17:32:35 UTC

How have I insulted you and what word am I expected to stand by ( ... )

Re: Ying of the Yang paft June 6 2010, 22:23:20 UTC

What "extremist" views do you imagine I hold?

Re: Ying of the Yang enders_shadow June 7 2010, 02:02:03 UTC

You do seem to have a habit of blowing things out of proportion; the first post I recall by you was about "states rights" being code words for racism.

Which is analogous to Beck saying "social justice" is code for socialism/communism.

While socialists *do* believe in social justice and racists would like to see states rights (so that they can be racist in their states) they aren't identical and there are non-racists who believe in states rights like there are non socialists who believe in social justice.

You aren't wrong (IMO) about your points, but you say them in exceedingly black-and-white terms leaving no grey and little room for those you view as wrong to be decent people.

Having said all this--fuck Glen Beck and his absurd bullshit.

Re: Ying of the Yang paft June 7 2010, 02:55:37 UTC

Sorry, but yes, most of the time "states rights" is code word for some form of discrimination. The fact that not every invocation of states rights involves racism or religious intolerance or homophobia does not change this.

Re: Ying of the Yang gunslnger June 7 2010, 22:46:46 UTC

And the point goes over your head once again.

Re: Ying of the Yang htpcl June 7 2010, 07:02:17 UTC

I think many people here agree that you're doing a subtle hooking of your political opponents, then saying you're innocent. I'm not even talking of you picking up a controversial story and turning it into a huge problem, trying to portray it as if it's the beginning of a crisis - that's your right ( ... )

"I was certainly owed an apology for what happened two months ago -- and am still owed one -- but I neither wanted nor expected one from you."

Example? Prove it.

See how easy it is?

Re: Ying of the Yang paft June 12 2010, 18:50:15 UTC

To back up something posted onto an internet forum? Yes, it is easy, if what you've posted is actually based on fact.

For example, the behavior that consider inappropriate enough to have warranted an apology can be found here:

http://community.livejournal.com/talk_politics/507867.html?thread=36375771#t36375771

The fact that I never blamed you for what I complained about in the above thread can be found here:

http://community.livejournal.com/talk_politics/509447.html?thread=36669191#t36669191

Now, given that you are listed on this board as a moderator, I would really like to an answer to my question about what you are characterizing as a "tantrum." Are you saying that my complaining about someone posting an obscene reply to me qualifies as a "tantrum?" Do you consider my complaint in that case to have been unreasonable?
