I can "figger" out what you did here too:

I can "figger" out what you did there. It's called a straw man argument. That's where one counters an inaccurate representation or an especially weak piece of an opponent's argument, then pretends to have refuted the opponent's entire argument. Tab obviously did not mean you leap to defend the RNC and BushCo in literally every thread where they are challenged. That's an absurd interpretation of his argument. Nonetheless, that's what you attacked, finding a few recent threads in which you had not yet posted. So what? There are weeks when you are fairly quiet, even entirely absent, and other weeks where it seems you do nothing but post 24 hours per day.
Finger swings mightily and misses yet again. How typical of him.
First, empty huffing and puffing. It has nothing to do with the point, but creates the illusion of a response.
Erm, what I was demonstrating to Tab (formerly Tabb) was that I don't jump to Bush's defense in all,
Yep, that's what I said ...
or even most threads that bash Bush,
Oops. nope. you didn't do that at all. You offered absolutely zilch to address what you do in most threads, just a trivially small sample from the past week.
which is, of course, what a true "Bush apologist" would do.
Nope, that's another phony argument. That might be what a true Bush apologist
with unlimited time and a high threshold for boredom would do. It is not a requirement for being a Bush apologist, however, no matter how you badly you need to redefine the term.
Naturally I don't expect the wild-eyed ones in here to recognize that. They're too wrapped up in their own magnificance and moral righteousness to recognize any such thing and you don't disappoint in that respect.
And there's your usual ad hom, more empty huffing and puffing.
The real point remains that the great majority of your posts have been defending either the RNC, or the Bush administration (before the RNC started distancing itself from BushCo). If you can refute that, showing that you have put a remotely similar level of energy into supporting positions contrary to the RNC's, you might have a valid argument. Until then, you will continue to be seen as a loyal water boy for the RNC. Like I tell my kids, if you don't like the consequences of your actions, change your actions. It's really that simple.
The real point remains that you are so deluded by your BDS that you can't see straight. Like I said before, anyone that doesn't bash Bush silly looks like an apologist to people like you. Fortunately those kinds of tools don't completely monopolize this forum and cooler heads prevail. May you choose to join those cooler heads one day. Until then you're just another BDS-filled tool.
Yet another empty ad hom to distract from the fact you failed to address the point. Again. You can flap and squawk in feigned indignation all you want, it doesn't change the truth of what I said. The great majority of your posts have been defending either the RNC, or the Bush administration (before the RNC started distancing itself from BushCo). Until you can refute that, showing you have put a remotely similar level of energy into supporting positions contrary to the RNC's, you will continue to be seen as a loyal water boy for the RNC.
That is the reality, and there's nothing any of us can do to change it. That falls solely to you. If your vanity demands that you keep posting duhversions and empty personal attacks, so be it. The rest of us can merely shake our heads and point at the odd little man, muttering self-deluded nonsense to himself in the corner.
Anyway, that's enough from me. Swatting you around used to be entertaining, like a cat playing with a mouse, but my time is finite and you're too predictable and tiresome. Your replies are always the same, endless duhversions, denials, and personal attacks, but 100% substance free. Toodles.
