    twowls got a reaction from nab in Pastor Terry Jones Gives Two-Hour Ultimatum To New York Imam Over Ground Zero Mosque   
    Using threats and coercion for political purposes? He must have already burned the part of his dictionary that housed the word "irony."
    He looks like the separated at birth evil twin of Sully McPilotHero + sadstache. They shall meet in a fourth dimension and do battle, kill each other simultaneously, and return balance to the universe. We'll just feel a slight tremor as we're eating dinner, a glass or two rattle in the cupboard, but we'll never know how close we came.

    I'm just f*cking with you. Sorry. It's like a nervous tic. You're just so cute and soft, I want to squeeze you to bits like a plush doggy. And for you to have eternal happiness, also. That too. But mostly to squish you.

    That's right, new rule: nobody is allowed to make judgments, no matter how craven or bigoted the target. Considering and having opinions about something is the real crime. You can't even mention that you don't consider a bigoted sociopath worthy of time and attention. Which makes the only available option to both acknowledge respectfully and refrain from having negative reactions to anyone, ever.
    This would be a pretty fantastic troll if it made sense at any level, or were even humanly possible. But don't let that stop you! I'm sure, like a really bad summer song, that if we just listen to it enough, it will start to sound catchy.

    If someone burned a bible in front of that congregation, you'd see quite quickly how untrue that is.

    You are pulling a spook, as that is not the norm. The norm is over 60 million Americans live in poverty and that's using US standards of poverty. Using international first world standards, over 86 million Americans would be classed as living in poverty.
    The average household income is $44k in the United States. Over 80% of the country only has access to 14% of the wealth, the rest is held by the top 20%. With that in mind, how can you anyone say Americans are not being short-changed? The reality and stats illustrate otherwise.

    Sure Dunno. More shitty wordplay that a 5 year old could see through. About as convincing as a dog ####### sold as chocolate.
    The preacher can do what he likes, so long as its within the law. I don't really care if wants to burn the Koran, he shouldnt be rewarded with publicity for it.

    Just because you guys make sure to set up your important "points" for plausible deniability doesn't mean the motivation is invisible to people who aren't in a coma.
    Obama is middle of the road. He is waaaay too far to the right for most "Liberals." He's pretty much followed W's lead on all things hawky, or done him one "better." There's not any legitimate support for the notion that he's hellbent on turning you all into helpless cogs in a big scary commie machine, or whatever the fantasy is.
    The uproar since Obama's election is irrational, frightening, and utterly out of proportion to Obama's actual deeds. The real source of the massive histrionic overreaction is obvious and sad.
    And I wouldn't care if you all spent the rest of your lives snarling impotently about imaginary crimes, except that you are contributing from your basement fortresses to the fearmongering and the hate that is ramping up to obscene, shameful levels and successfully creating an atmosphere of violence, xenophobia, and racism.
    It's the easiest thing in the world to pretend all that hate and intolerance has nothing to do with you. But that's a lie.
    Things have gotten too real for this sh*t. Too dangerous. It was never okay, but it has become absolutely indefensible to gleefully lie, scorn, and demonize and then plead ignorance when people get hurt. Lazily hateful and sick.

    What is this, some kind of performance art? I can't tell whether you all are serious or not. The way you guys sit around looking for random, nonsensical things to jab at is really pretty bizarre and disturbing.
    The only part that upsets me is that it's not totally random. The choice to make a "point" about the "dirtiness" of an enormous mixed-race crowd celebrating the election of a black man versus the "cleanliness" of a tiny lily-white crowd gathered together to be fat and nonspecifically resentful is telling, to say the least.
    The point itself is utterly without merit, but the way you are able to inject the freshly invented "argument" into the discussion without having to justify its existence, prove it, or make it useful in any way is basically trolling on a grand scale. And you love it, and it gives you a smug thrill, and the dishonesty and intellectual laziness and ugliness of the tactic bothers you not one iota. Gross.

    I think you mean "elite" and out of touch, right? Because god forbid anybody call out stupidity or fail to recognize the legitimacy of these people's wack world view. Whatever happens, the most important thing is to pretend every voice is as meaningful and worthy of respect as every other. The average is king.
    One of the most embarrassing things about the recent political climate is this tyranny of the mediocre, this agreement that we have to prove our regular-guy cred and go to any lengths to obscure all evidence of "elitism": anything that might point to a distance between ourselves and the Average American--the average American being intellectually unengaged and chronically ignorant, poor and angry and insulated from the rest of the world.
    Love me! Elect me! I don't need no stinking book learnin! I'm just like you!!!! Please believe meeee!!!
    I'm not just like the people in that video. And as I'm not a politician, I don't have to pretend I am. The right has successfully put smart and educated people on the defensive about being smart and educated. Even blueblood legacy ivy leaguers on the right like Bush must dig holes and wear cowboy boots and remind you that they are Just Like You. Bullsh*t. But everybody understands: you must pretend you grew up with a 37-toed cat and one shoe to share around a family of 8, no chance at college and you must hunt your own dinner.
    I noticed one of the things in the list of Tea Partier principles or whatever that It's a Madhouse posted was that average people should be in political office more or something. Please no. Are we officially to the point in our collective worship of the mediocre that we are willing to sacrifice our own well-being? I demand that our office holders and leaders be the cream of the f*cking crop, the smartest, wisest, most aware and dynamic people we can get. Smart people are still capable of compassion and common sense, still capable of acting in the interests of the stupid, the ignorant, and the less advantaged, all. They just do it with fewer misspellings.

    Fantastic about the ICE thing. But what's happening is both about how he enforces the law, AND the fact that he doesn't enforce the law. AZ's routine business--important, criminals running free business--is being ignored in favor of this crusade. Not okay.

    I don't have to admit that at all. I'm hearing that every local dude from a county clerk on up has had no problem cooperating with a federal request. Only mister I Rule Thunderdome thinks differently.
    And yeah, he's been voted in! Woo! You're right; in their eyes he's doing great. There's just a small matter of basic human rights. And if you don't handle it, you'll be handled. Not up for a vote. Sorry, Arizonans. It would be killer if if we could make our states look exactly like we wanted. I'd make Louisiana wear purple all day. I think I could get Tuesdays marked as a statewide holiday. I've got lots of good ideas. Except for, you know, the Constitution and certain checks and rules and sh*t. Alas.

    Nope! The people aren't responsible for policing. They may love his spirit, but they don't handle the lawfulness part. So that's being handled now. They can elect him til the cows come home, but he'll be held accountable for his actions anyway! You prob knew that, yeah?
