WhiteHouse wants you to snitch....

attend meeting != yell down the opposition

Also given the republican's propaganda arm is a hell of a lot more effective than the democrats, these townhalls give the representatives an avenue to respond to these concerns. However that doesn't work if the RNC makes sure to shut that down with thugs.

First off it's rather rich seeing neocons care about personal privacy. Second of all, it's obvious this project exists so they can adjust their message based on word-of-mouth lies, not to send the ACORN BROWNSHIRT FASCISTS out to get you.

""?I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you?re not patriotic. And we should stand up and say we are Americans, and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!? lol, Hillary a few years back

Start any more PFI threads against people you disagree with lately? What a Pussy!!

Send any more raging PM's and then block the users so they can't respond? Yeah, that's pretty big of you :roll: . I'm sorry... who's being a pussy? (again with the personal attacks?)

I have no problem with people disagreeing with me. In fact, it's why I'm here. There are plenty of boards out there with members who share my ideas, but that's not interesting or educating. My problem is with people who resort to repeated personal attacks and man-crushes (stalking from thread to thread to continue the personal attacks) whenever someone disagrees with them.

If you really want to get into strict definitions of pussy, I'd certainly say your actions qualify. My PFI thread was merely an attempt to eliminate the interference you run here from day to day while people try to have a conversation. If you can grow up, put a man-sized shirt over your shoulders, and respect the people who take the time to deliver to you the facts YOU'VE requested from them without personally insulting them because you've painted yourself into a corner, then you and I have no problem. Believe it or not, it's ok for two people to disagree. You should learn this. You should accept this. You should also abandon your personal attacks as a means of countering your opponents' presentation of facts and well thought out arguments. In all absolute seriousness, it only serves as to make you look foolish. Those personal attacks don't carry any other weight. Why you think they do is completely beyond me.

Oh, and since you did ask me a question via PM but prevented me from answering it, I'll do so here:

Who the fuck do you think you are? I can't believe you would start a thread in PFI just because you can't handle me. What a puss you (and blanghorst) turned out to be.

Been getting tips from Craig? Let's see... who am I... I'm someone who's tired of seeing great topics go down the tubes because your bitter pissed-at-life attitude infects and derails every thread you touch? Yeah, that about sums it up. So sorry to have hurt your feelings to such an extent that you felt you needed to sucker punch your opponents via PM. Classy move .

edit - I had some personal attacks of my own in the original posting, mostly stemming as a reaction to the prepubescent/raging nature of your PM, but I've removed them. You should try it sometime. A little dose of good karma sounds like it would do you some good.

Bump, so this administration gets put in it's place.

Tell your friends, talk to people, attend the town hall meetings that they now want to do via phone instead of in person. Fight this shit. Tell them we will not stand for this.

I'm thrilled that the American people are finally standing up to the sleezy politicians and are more concerned about fixing our dysfunctional health care system without simultaneously destroying our country.

fixed.

 

[cubby1223]

Seriously, though, the Democrats keep pulling shit like this, and then wonder why Glenn Beck's ratings keep rising?

Problem: many American citizens do not trust the government
Solution: let's show the public that we do not trust you either

:roll:

It's part of the same story, "progressives" believe the rest of America is genuinely stupid and unfit to make decisions for themselves.

Yea, those crazy fucks, demanding that congress actually read the bills that they push through.

So you support people shouting down politicians and other citizens that they disagree with? I'll be expecting you to be supporting Code Pink's efforts (or at least their tactics) from this point forward.

What I want to know is...where were all of these concerned teabagging republicans clamoring for privacy and civil rights when wiretapping programs and clandestine spying programs were tapping and collecting people's communications?

you guys are so full of shit.

I support shouting you down. If you cannot figure this out for yourself, then that's your problem, not ours. Same goes for OrByte. It's been repeated to no end by many on this forum, you just chose to ignore it.

 

[Patranus]

I wonder what kind of shit storm there would have been if this was even mentioned by Bush.

Class if a funny thing. Bush acknowledged the people who protested him in a recent interview and said that is what makes this country so great.

Well then you support acting like a thug to try to get what you want instead of winning on the merit of your argument. Considering I've never seen you string an actual argument together, this isn't a real shock.

I'm not sure how to even respond to that, it's too funny :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Welcome to AT P&N? Whenever I've made an argument, it's usually rebutted with name-calling from the resident extremists - racist, bigot, puppet of "the rich". It's just not worth the effort. It's an internet forum, no one ever takes any one else seriously on either side of the political fence, no matter how well prepared their argument is.

I don't make arguments targeted to the other person, so much as I make a comments directed towards the silent onlooker. I trust they are smarter and more open minded than anyone who actually posts in this forum (again, commenting on those on both sides of the aisle).

It's going quite well. Would you like to subscribe to my newsletter? My next edition compares someone shouting from a chair at a town-hall meeting with activists blocking city traffic, attempting take-over of government offices, disrupting national conventions, throwing paint on officials, preventing congressional testimonies, and the like.

Ahhh, so your newsletter deals with what public events, many of them political, that you deem are permissible to disrupt with political activity.

Sounds like a magazine attempting to draw distinctions based upon predetermined desirable partisan outcomes to me. If it's free I'll take a copy though, maybe there are some coupons.

Damn skippy. If I let your flawed reasonings slip by even just once, then the terrorists win

You don't support America-hating terrorists, do you?



P.S. you're putting words in my mouth I never said, just like you did with JD50. If you consider that a basis for starting constructive discussion... there really is no hope for you

You take a conclusion, then conjure up one possible reasoning, and present it as fact. It's flawed reasoning, and impossible to argue against just because of its very nature.

Why would I attempt to have constructive discussion with someone who has explicitly stated he is not interested in it? I'm just enjoying making fun of you.

 

[cubby1223]

You conspicuously avoided disputing my claim that you support America-hating terrorists

Whatever floats your boat.

Oh please, you know exactly what he means by that. You aren't dumb, but you're playing dumb. In the rare chance you legitimately think he's talking about aiming his points at a ghost, allow me to elaborate: he structures his responses as if the reader were an unbiased party, rather than the person who is personally attacking him for not being a liberal. Still, I think you know this...
