massive rebuttal
tl;dr

Wh-what
grah
That thread! Not this one! That one!
Also Luke.


Also, Hitler linked TVTropes.

I cross-posted as soon as I saw your message.  You'll get no more Cuba talk from me on this thread, I promise!

It's too bad tea parties are equivalent to the bar meetings that hitler held.

That attitude is all too typical of Obama supporters, I'm afraid.  Unable to justify the financial incompetence of your own favored politicians you compare your opponents to Nazis when all they're asking is that you stop spending their childrens' and grandchildrens' money.  How sad.

That's... literally the exact opposite of the past decade of political history.  Bush ran the debt from Clinton's little budget surplus to over 10 Trillion, the Republican congress rubber-stamped the whole thing, and the Democrats were called baby-killers and soldier-haters and terrorist-lovers when they called them out on it.

Welcome to the minority.  It's a lot of fun.

When in doubt, resort to the good old strawman fallacy! It's hard to imagine debate without such liberal (no pun intended) deployment of the tactic.

Hey, Obama supporters may be tax-n-spend big gummt baby killing surrender monkeys, but 24% of them didn't believe that Bush was the Antichrist.*

*that was the figure. I checked it out again. The figure who believed Obama was doing things similar to Hitler was in the 30's, I've already forgotten. Quoted on Fresh Air With Terry Gross by Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Y'know I would be so sure about that.  In all fairness, I do remember an awful lot of "Bush with hitler mustache" and "Bush with devil shadow" websites.  Tht said, Democrats don't go for the religious hyperbole quite as readily and often...

Welcome to government politics, we make as much sense as Non-Euclidean Geometry.

Oh, and inb4 lolamerica posts.

Non-Euclidean Geometry makes perfect sense if you're not n idiot. MATH RAGE!

yeah, that's totally true. I was specifically referring to the belief that Obama is the antichrist tho. The other one was something I'd quoted earlier but didn't have a number to go with it

In other news, there needs to be a new gold standard for pure evil since Hitler is totally played out. Thing is, if you go far back enough in history, the only difference between Hitler and your standard iron-age leader is that Hitler went really far out of his way to kill certain people. Man, the human race has come a long way.

I think that sometimes, at any rate

[Cheddarius]

Aaargh what
All Obama/spending/etc.-related posts should be in the Cuba thing too, okay?

[Luke_Prowler]

I would like to see Stalin used more often

On Topic: It's near impossible to find someone in a political group, or any kind of group really, who is actually unbiased, because they have this Sports Team mentality, but at least sports teams are more civilized after the game is over.

[Zironic]

I am not an Obama supporter, however, When a young Tea partian tells me all arabs are terrorists and deserve to die, and that God should be the real president of the United States, I form my own opinion.

[Cheddarius]

That's great. Please form your own opinion in the other thread, please.

[Zironic]

How can you start a topic about Obama's healthcare without a huge expectation of it falling into an argument about party politics?

[Forumsdwarf]

When in doubt, resort to the good old strawman fallacy!

It was irony.  A bit too dry, maybe?

[Cheddarius]

It wasn't about Obama's healthcare at all, it was about a logical fallacy. Plus, any arguing could just as easily be diverted to the thread made specifically for that purpose. I fail to see how taking two or three seconds to click a link and post in a different thread is so difficult. Graargh.

Anyway, I posted in the first post not to do that, so... that should work?

[RedWarrior0]

Nazis disliked smoking. Smoke stuff, goddamit!
