Funny you mentioned that.
Could you please provide a summary of what he's saying?  Because I admit I kindof glazed over after about 4 minutes of him "not" blaming the moderator.

Just out of curiosity, if the Tea Party actual was the racist, bigoted, sexist, astroturf movement some claim to be, and they hold a march to demonstrate 1+1=2, are they wrong?

And if the Free Food Party consisted only of a picture-perfect mix of ages, genders, ethnicities and creeds all united by an altruistic desire to give free food to the hungry, but they hold that 1+1=3, are they right?

God help this forum if we need Vector to answer these questions.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Well, the answer you are looking for is no. (Edit, whoops missed that)

But the real answer is in the form of a question.

If the tea party said that if the Tea Party actual was the racist, bigoted, sexist, astroturf movement some claim to be, and they hold a march to demonstrate 1+1=2, are they right about every thing else?

And if the Free Food Party consisted only of a picture-perfect mix of ages, genders, ethnicities and creeds all united by an altruistic desire to give free food to the hungry, but they hold that 1+1=3, are they wrong about everything else?

Bluh bluh bluh people are too dumb to understand what you mean so you need to emoticon? That ether means you are bad at expressing your ideas or you are being condescending.

I'm just going to say no to both and let you get on with whatever you're trying to say.  :P

They would be correct that 1+1=2. If racism, bigotry, sexism, etc., are wrong, then they would also be wrong if they are also those things.

Fortunately until that happens you only have to deal with a Valkyrie like me.

Give it a rest, both of you.

The astroturf thing doesn't really matter.  It's just really, really annoying when people go on and on about it being a grassroots movement as if it validates their movement when it isn't even that.

"Racist, bigoted, sexist" could be a much bigger issue, considering that you should judge a group on what it is, rather than what it says it is.

No examples are needed to be made(mostly because the only power I have is locking the topic.) I'm merely keeping the thread going from going to hell, so please get back on track, everyone.
