his statement that they are accusing Obama of causing the riots is BS and he has admitted it random thoughts Send a noteboard - 16/08/2011 07:46:46 PM
not simply overstated. I am not arguing about which side is right and which side is wrong. What a I am objecting to is Joel's rhetorical tactic of making over the top unsupportable statement and people pretending that is just what both sides do. Joel keeps saying it even after he admitted it wasn't true. I highly doubt you would be so tolerate and understanding if there was someone on the right making these statements. Instead what we get is "lets pretend like Joel is rational because we don't like the people he is making shit up about" "well both sides are wrong so lets play nice with the man saying you are spitting on the graves of dead school children".

It can only be called a plan if you ever, honestly plan on following through with it. Jacob - 16/08/2011 06:52:32 PM 236 Views
Oh, I fully intend to follow through with it. Joel - 16/08/2011 06:58:05 PM 236 Views
Prove it then. *NM* Jacob - 16/08/2011 07:00:17 PM 153 Views
Time will tell, eh? Joel - 16/08/2011 07:03:59 PM 180 Views

The distinction between "he caused it there" and "he WILL cause it here" is practically nonexistent. Joel - 16/08/2011 07:01:03 PM 215 Views
Joel just continue to admit you are full of shit and defend your BS at the same time *NM* random thoughts - 16/08/2011 07:16:20 PM 179 Views
Again, the difference between "s/he WILL cause this" and "s/he DID cause" is merely tense. Joel - 16/08/2011 08:04:55 PM 219 Views

I wasn't aware of Reid making that comment to students, and agree it was disrespectful. Joel - 16/08/2011 08:08:53 PM 193 Views

Joel, do you really not believe you use inflammatory rhetoric? *NM* Isaac - 16/08/2011 07:26:37 PM 164 Views
Emotional, yes, but I try hard to avoid anything that could even LOOSELY SUGGEST violence. Joel - 16/08/2011 07:36:36 PM 211 Views
Well try harder, or at least stop complaining about other people doing what you do non-stop Isaac - 16/08/2011 08:13:05 PM 194 Views
