Obama - The Jihadist Candidate
"PC" wrote in message ... wrote in message m... Your claims are laughably transparent. i can see my house from here! Whether intended or not, there's a double entendre buried somewhere in there. I believe that you are referring to a misquote attributed to Sarah Palin, not John McCain, and it had more to do with being able to see Russia from her kitchen. I believe it was only Tina Fey that actually delivered that quote. In any event my claim was that all the Usenet posts I have read in the NGs I frequent have been smears on Obama, not McCain. I have to amend that statement. I do now recall a well-known conspiracy theory aficionado who posted some nonsense about McCain accidentally killing a fellow pilot by doing a "hot start" or something similar. The post was very quickly and efficiently debunked as nonsense. These numerous anti-Obama posts are nonsense as well but tend to appeal to a base common denominator type of ugliness that coincidentally (or not) has been the same type of ugliness displayed at recent McCain rallies. To ignore the correlation between the recent tone at his rallies and the sudden frequency of these Obama smears is to willfully ignore a very large elephant in the room. IMO. Speaking of double entendres, ahem. Elephants indeed. I don't frequent political blogs, preferring to follow the debunking through the non-partisan www.politifact.com fact-checking site. However, like you, the vast majority of the dozens of inaccurate screeds that I've seen were directed at Obama. He's a closet Muslim, he and his wife hate whites and America, he wasn't born in the U.S., equating his acquaintance with people with subscribing to their beliefs, on and on almost beyond belief. On the other side of the ledger I can recall one making the rounds that was directed at McCain's wife's drug addiction, which was overblown rather than inaccurate, and then there was... um... ah... |

What are you people going to do when a similar piece of posted crap slamming McCain finds its way in here? Switch your vote? *********** The best posting to date in this thread. PC and Gogu already had their minds made up and went through a charade of being influenced by a single post. Says perhaps all that is necessary about their political IQ. Chas. Edw. As I said, childish insults and lies will not make your arguments more credible! Because: 1) I am *not* a US citizen, so personally I don't care who will win the elections! How very provincial. You might want to reconsider. And I shouldn't have to explain to you why. It looks that the only provincial here it's you. English obviously isn't your native tongue, so I'll let that one slide. Democrat or Republican the new tenant of the White House, the US foreign policy changes a little, so I don't care who will be the next US president. If you are referring to the fact that US president's actions influence the international economy (and not only) this is true but I repeat that I couldn't care less if good or bad times are to come, I am the same secure in both cases. -I don't care if I pay fuel 1,20 euros per liter or 2,20 or even 3,30. -I don't care about the price falling of the houses, as I don't intend to sell what I own; I am renting them and have a stable income. And in the US I own just/only one apartment in Ridgefield Park N.J and again, I don't intend to sell it. -I don't care if the stock market is going down, because I have mainly bank stocks and because I don't need to sell them. Sooner or later they will return to their previous value(s). -I don't care if the purchasing capability of the average Joe is diminishing because I am not in the retail business, what my business "sells" is always in demand even if with small fluctuations. For all the above reasons, I don't care if the next US president will be a Democrat or a Republican. You may say I am selfish but I am only frank. I'm very impressed. That's one of the most ignorant posts I've ever seen. As for the rest, I repeat, feel well soon in my killfile. Coward. |

To ignore the correlation between the recent tone at his rallies and the sudden frequency of these Obama smears is to willfully ignore a very large elephant in the room. IMO. ********* You must read different newsgroups than I do. Or don't read, more likely. The only recent postings on Collector Universe, for example, attacked McCain and his supporters Was it a difference in political opinion aimed at his policies and views, or was it ad hominem and conspiracy theory like the anti-Obama screed that started this thread? and the thread was quickly taken down by the moderator. Interestingly enough there have been no anti- Obama postings but, if there are, I hope they are taken down just as quickly. So you don't get this junk in political e-mails from friends, family, co-workers and spammers? That's where I get most of it, not in newsgroups. As to the rallies I find that both have contingents equally nasty. The recent very crude attacks on Palin at a major Obama rally, which Obama refused to condemn, show this very nicely. Got a cite to fully document your characterization? I'd like to investigate that, along with any examples you have of anti-McCain screeds on the order of what's been going around about Obama. Other than an overblown item about his wife's drug addiction, I seem to have missed those. (And by anti-McCain screeds I don't mean characterizations of his political views, I mean the mean-spirited and blatantly misleading ad hominem that started this thread.) I thank you for the correlation. The anti-McCain remarks I have seen posted on the internet are then, according to your reasoning, clearly tied to the Obama rallies and by his direct orders. I would never have guessed this until your post and in point of fact do not believe it. For someone who (accurately) accused me of jumping to a conclusion about the content of your posts, you have a remarkable facility for reading things into others' posts that aren't there, like mine and PC's. Some may make the mistake of assuming that the Obama slurs are being perpetrated "with the knowledge of, and at the orders of" McCain; but anyone familiar with how these things work knows that this is both unlikely and unnecessary for either candidate. No informed observer seriously believes that all the numerous anti-Obama ad hominem screeds running around the Internet are the work of McCain campaign operatives. Likewise for anti-McCain ad hominem screeds (if they exist - I have yet to see one) being the work of Obama campaign operatives. If Obama operatives are in fact doing that, they've done a ****-poor job judging from the number of anti-McCain ad hominem screeds I've seen compared to the voluminous anti-Obama ad hominem. BTW, your accusation by way of bogus forced logic reveals that you are not quite the impartial observer you would have others believe. Neither am I - no one can be 100% impartial in politics - but I'm not the one trying to give the impression that both camps are equally guilty here. I give credit to McCain for the times that he has tried to dampen the Obama ad hominem, but then, he has a lot more to put dampers on than Obama. |

You ought to read the material more carefully. I see no point in further discussion with someone who distorts what has been said and then attacks on that basis. And, just for the record, if I were moderator of this group the OP would have been dropped at once along with all other political remarks concerning the 2008 election. If the posting was historical in nature and actually reflected a political slant to the coinage, then it would perhaps be of value. Chas. Edw. |

You ought to read the material more carefully. I see no point in further discussion with someone who distorts what has been said and then attacks on that basis. 1. What did I distort and then attack? 2. You just distorted PC's statement again. He did not say that the Obama screeds were the result of McCain campaign operatives or his direct orders. Therefore you cannot use that as the basis for making a logical jump in the opposite direction and say that anti-McCain remarks are "according to (PC's) reasoning, clearly tied to the Obama rallies and by his direct orders." If your premise (a false characterization of PC's statement) is false, your logical conclusion fails, as it did for you here. 3. So you're running away from a request for examples of anti-McCain ad hominem screeds after you've implied that they exist in abundance? If so then good riddance. Put up some examples of anti-McCain ad hominem screeds or shut up. And, just for the record, if I were moderator of this group the OP would have been dropped at once along with all other political remarks concerning the 2008 election. If the posting was historical in nature and actually reflected a political slant to the coinage, then it would perhaps be of value. If you truly believed that, you wouldn't have responded at all to such an "off topic" topic. Your hypocrisy is showing through in just about every post now. |
