Sergarr if you think she has never seen a war she doesn't like then I ask you to read the senate speech she gave during the Iraq war vote.  There was no liking there.

If you don't like her giving an honest assessment of political reality why the fuck do you go and complain she is dishonest?

Clinton is a very honest politician. People are just bad at telling the difference between shitty politician and corruption.  You don't need to find corruption just find something else to investigate. So sadly predictable.

You've resolved one accusation. There are two others (single payer health care "never coming to pass" and gay marriage flip-flop). Am I to assume that they're true? Because if they are, then the final verdict would still remain correct.

You should work more to successfully defend the candidate-in-white.

Read my post again?

It didn't change from the last time I've read it.

So it still has the part where I talk about the single payer quote?

Jesus wept. >_<

You're not even trying to understand.

Am I though?

You gave a list of names of people who you said get treated like Clinton on these forums.  Let me list some people who weren't on that list:  Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi.  Do you think that maybe these people are a teeny, tiny more of Hillary Clinton's peer group then Trump, Farange and Putin?  But you didn't list those.  And I think the reason you didn't list them is because you realize that none of them get shit on like Clinton round these parts.  If you actually compare the treatment of Clinton to the politicians like her the difference is pretty fucking stark.

I just wish you had the goddamn balls to stand by your argument Redking.  It's not fucking subtle when you list a bunch of names who have mostly crassly exploited xenophobia for political gain (Merkel being the exception).  You can deny the exact diagnosis but it's not like it's a neutral goddamn list.  You pull shit like that and then get offended when I call you out on it.  I might use course language but I respect your argument enough to take it seriously.  You know better then this, you are old enough.  Some people are too young to remember how Al Gore "invented the internet" and was called a liar or how John Kerry "fled from combat" and was called a liar.  You know how many fishing expeditions for imaginary murder, fraud, rape and corruption they held on Bill Clinton before they finally found some bullshit that was true because he was a goddamn human.  You saw that bullshit in practice and should realize how much smoke you can create by surrounding mundane bullshit in optics to pretend it's a fire.

I'll just leave this here: http://laurencetennant.com/bonds/adhominem.html

Oh, one of the best rationalizations I've seen yet is "He knows he needs the Latino and black vote to override the massive Demonrat fraud which is coming".


mainiac: Again, you are reading intent into my words that is not there, because you want there to be something to rail against. Being angry and self-righteous is your raison d'etre. When did I EVER say or imply that Clinton is a xenophobe or a demagogue? She's like an anti-demagogue, because she lacks the charisma to be one.

People have given Obama plenty of shit on this forum, even from people who generally support him. Joe Biden is practically a comic punchline (witness all the Onion articles that depict him as a boozy, foul-mouthed skirt-chaser who deals weed to his Congressional colleagues). Reid and Pelosi aren't exactly the most popular folks either.

I listed the ones I did because they were the first ones that came to mind when I asked myself "Gee, who else besides Hillary Clinton gets hyperbolic shit talked about them for satirical/comedic purposes around here?" If we fail to make as many jokes about Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, it's because they're fucking BORING.

Jeez, it takes real concentrated effort to get this much outrage going out of nothing.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That's what happens when your favorite presidential candidate is a lizard person.

[Sergarr]

Without even mentioning it in a way that makes it easily confusable for a continuation of the previous point, yes.

OK, you won.

Okay, so you think it is in fact hyperbolic shit.  Thanks.  I'm glad we could arrive at this conclusion after only six people mocked me for saying it.

Everyone agreed that talking of Clinton's dark magic scandals is hyperbolic shit. It's just that it doesn't make sense to jump on someone for saying stuff that is so hyperbolic that it is evidently intended as sarcasm.

Evidently, mainiac spends too much time in places where hyperbolic statements are usually intended as being completely serious.

You guys realise this shit and other sniping from the background comments are far more disruptive and annoying than the actual arguing going on?

[Guardian G.I.]

And you really are basically just confirming my point, which is that it's always easier to criticize the opposition and think it's fair, as compared to your candidate, for whom being compared to gila lizards is harsh and unfair and such a terrible thing for the Nazi Party which is your opposition to do. You know, with Trump being LITERALLY FIGURATIVELY HITLER, GUYS, and all.

LITERALLY FIGURATIVELY HITLER, GUYS

Nah.
America needs someone who won't need any bad publicity and invented smear campaigns, for his reputation is as bad as it gets. America need a candidate who is literally Hitler!

So, like. Do we dig up a grave or something or is this more chronosphere nonsense? Because there seems to be a lot of the latter this cycle, so it'd fit.

E: Wait, wait. No. What we'd do is instead of a president, there'd be a committee of historians, who decide the actions of the POTUS position based on analysis of hilter's/germany's previous decision making!

I'm sure if a company can be a singular person, a small group of people can be a single president. It'd work out, somehow.
