Good question, the reason is it goes to the character of a potential presidential candidate. Not to mention some dedicated personnel were killed because of the indifference

Dan8267 says

Bend over and I'll do more.

So you are a homosexual then?

What does that matter to you? Are you a bigot?

indigenous says

yea all the Republican stuff is important... (sarcasm)

Sarcasm is not a counter-argument.

indigenous says

What percentage of the Democrats think there is global warming?

Irrelevant. Climate change or global warming is a scientific fact. Science is not a democracy. There is truth and there are falsehoods. Which is which is not determined by a popularity contest.

At this point, with the mountainous evidence of climate change with many independent lines of verification, anyone who claims to doubt the reality and severity of man-made climate change is a liar, an idiot, or willfully ignorant. Of course, these three things are not mutually exclusive.

indigenous says

Facts are somebody did something. Polls are not facts they are opinions.

It is a fact that Reagan gave weapons to terrorists. It is a fact that the republicans had no objection to this, nonetheless outrage like they pretend to have at Obama wording a speech "incorrectly".

Also, polls reveal facts about people's positions. It is a fact that 4 out of 10 republicans referred to Benghazi as the worst scandal in American history. This fact is important as it demonstrates how bat-shit crazy the republicans are. Just because you don't like a fact doesn't make it not a fact.

indigenous says

We are talking about Benghazi not Reagan, Bush, Nixon they are irrelevant.

We are talking about the insincerity of republican motives in trying to create a false scandal around Benghazi, the inaccuracy of the so-called facts the republicans present, and the utter hypocrisy of their actions.

So yes, revealing that Reagan gave arms to the terrorists is most certainly relevant. Just because you don't like that I've shown Reagan, not Obama, to be the one guilty of treason of the highest degree does not make that fact irrelevant or republicans any less hypocrites for deifying Reagan while condemning Obama for some utter bullshit about supporting the terrorists which could not be further from the truth.

You republicans are so bat-shit crazy when it comes to Obama and so utterly divorced from any resemblance of reality that I, someone who has called for Obama to be tried for crimes against humanity, have to defend him in order to defend the truth. You're accusations against him are so ludicrous that either you are utterly insane or completely and blatantly racist. Again, these two things are not mutually exclusive.

indigenous says

The rest of the stuff is trivial.

The video in the OP is about FACTS.

Bill Maher is NOT it is a fucking comedy show.

Once again, you have failed to even attempt to address a single point Maher made, and in failing so have revealed that you are incapable of making any counter-arguments. This is not surprising because you lack both the truth, which is the easier ground to defend, and the intelligence to make any coherent argument.

I see from your last sentence above that merely creating a complete, intelligible sentence is a stretch for your intellect.

Call it Crazy says

You keep posting the Bill Maher videos.... Like he has ANY relevancy to anything...

So, who's the dumb ass now??

The person who's only argument against Maher is that he's funny and therefore must not be correct. That is in no way a valid counter-argument. At best, you are occupying the second lowest level of the argument pyramid and that is a losing position.

To all those listening to this thread, I have a question. Is the average republican as utterly stupid as those posting on this thread, or are these republicans on Patrick.net particularly stupid?

I remember Obama and the Democrats saying that this was caused by a public protest against some video on the internet. That excuse was bullshit then, and it's still bullshit now.

Dan8267 says

What does that matter to you? Are you a bigot?

Why are you ashamed of your homosexuality?

Dan8267 says

Dan8267 says

Neither, there was some question as to my sanity but after coming to this site I am in good shape... I don't have a racist bone in my body. No one is entitled to anything ceptin if you ask a liberal.

Dan8267 says

making any counter-arguments.

Sarcasm does not work well with logic, it sort of like a wish which does not apply to logic. By virtue of this Bill Maher cannot be consider anything more than entertainment.

Dan8267 says

Is the average republican as utterly stupid as those posting on this thread, or are these republicans on Patrick.net particularly stupid?

indigenous says

Ah yes, you have already run out of arguments.

Indigenous: Government spending is 1 trillion dollars per year in waste, that is hurting our economy. Cut it.
CP: If you cut a trillion from government spending, the economy will contract at least 7%.
Indigenous: No it wouldn't there was 4 trillion in stimulus spending, that didn't increase the economy 4 trillion.
CP: Government spending is a component of economic output by definition. And yes, the economy increased by more than $4 trillion, so the money supply growth did grow the economy.
Indigenous: No it isn't because of malinvestment.
CP: That isn't the definition of malinvestment, nor is your f35 example malinvestment.
Indigenous: Yeah true, but still malinvestment.

I have run out of arguments? You agreed with me, but just restated malinvestment as your argument again. I refuted your central point (the top of the pyramid), you agreed, then just restated.

That is not a new argument. I have nothing to respond to.

You did not refute anything, another case of fact by decree?

The economy is as jacked up as the 1930s.

You blindly say it has grown the economy without anything to indicate cause, just that it grew.

thunderlips11 says

Isn't it amazing? And they pretend that this dude's capture seems awfully coincidental...because Hillary might be running for office. That makes more sense to them than their whole "sweep our lying bluster under the rug because we know the stupid voters will forget our massive lies/errors".

FortWayne says

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/khattala-benghazi-video-new-york-times

Of course, if the perpetrator says that was his motivation, it must be because the Administration MADE HIM SAY SO! Right?

It's early yet, so I won't claim that to be the case. But how do I already know what the wingnuts will say if it is proven to be true?

FortWayne says

I remember Obama and the Democrats saying that this was caused by a public protest against some video on the internet.

The thought that was the case; they were wrong. That doesn't mean they were conspiring to cover anything up. It was a reasonable mistake and it wasn't a final answer, just what they suspected at the time before they had time to investigate the issue thoroughly.

It's not like they made a clusterfuck of a mistake by confusing which country has WMDs because they got a letter wrong: Iran/Iraq, what's the difference?

Call it Crazy says

He's NOT funny....

Irrelevant. Maher's facts are correct.

Dan8267 says

To all those listening to this thread,

WAKE UP DUDE... There's NO audio on this site... people have to READ the thread...

Now we really know what your issue is..... Go ahead, put your ear to your screen.... Can you hear me typing????

Are you truly that fucking stupid or are you just feigning it?

Dan8267 says

The thought that was the case; they were wrong. That doesn't mean they were conspiring to cover anything up.

Sure they are...

Oh ok so then it is ok, for sure tell that to the families involved it wasn't as bad as the mistakes Bush made.

indigenous says

Dan8267 says

What does that matter to you? Are you a bigot?

Why are you ashamed of your homosexuality?

That's a pretty lame and juvenile passive-aggressive attack.

It would be like asking you if you are getting help for your pedophilic behavior.

You are implying multiple things that are false, but lack the intestinal fortitude to come out and make the accusations clearly. In other words, you are a liar and a coward.

indigenous says

Dan8267 says

Sarcasm is not a counter-argument.

It indicates that it is trivial

It indicates that you have nothing intelligent to contribute to the discussion.

If your opponent's arguments are weak, then it should be trivially easy to demonstrate that they are, just as I am right now demonstrating how obviously wrong you are.

Evidence plus sarcasm may make a point, but sarcasm without any evidence or reasoning does not.

indigenous says

Just answer the question.

I did. I don't know what percentage of Democrat voters or constituents acknowledge man-made climate change and it is irrelevant because
1. Science is not a democracy and the truth is not determined by a popularity vote.
2. It is not the Democratic Party that is killing Americans and endangering our national security by allowing pollution and climate change and by blocking solutions to these problems.

So go ahead and try to twist the truth into some perverted form. I'm ready to make you look like an ass when you do.

indigenous says

Dan8267 says

t is a fact that Reagan gave weapons to terrorists

Irrelevant

Bull-fucking-shit. If Obama gave weapons to Islamic terrorists, you and the entire Republican Party would be calling for his immediate execution as a traitor. You are hypocrites and you are liars who rewrite history for your own perverted purposes.

indigenous says

Dan8267 says

Is the average republican as utterly stupid as those posting on this thread, or are these republicans on Patrick.net particularly stupid?

And this once again is called projecting.

Honey, it's not projecting when it's based on empirical evidence. You use the term "projecting" as "I can't think of any reason why you're wrong, so I'll make shit up."

Example: The math teacher said that the square root of two is irrational, but he's just projecting.

SoftShell says

I can assure you that it is impossible that anyone would enjoy sex with indigenous.

See that part where you used ellipses? That's where you're suppose to put the evidence.

indigenous says

Oh ok so then it is ok, for sure tell that to the families involved it wasn't as bad as the mistakes Bush made.

Gladly. Not knowing the cause of the Benghazi attack five hours after the attack isn't as bad as causing the deaths of a million innocent people including young children. Had they never made the mistake of thinking that the anti-Mohammad film was the instigating factor, it would not have changed anything at all. It certainly would not have brought the dead back to life.

However, had Bush not lied about Iraq to start a war this child would not be dead.

Nor would many others

Line up the bodies of the children, the thousands of children — the infants, the toddlers, the schoolkids — whose bodies were torn to pieces, burned alive or riddled with bullets during the American invasion and occupation of Iraq. Line them up in the desert sand, walk past them, mile after mile, all those twisted corpses, those scraps of torn flesh and seeping viscera, those blank faces, those staring eyes fixed forever on nothingness.

This is the reality of what happened in Iraq; there is no other reality…

You are a fucking asshole for even attempting to equate the two.

Dan8267 says

That's a pretty lame and juvenile passive-aggressive attack.

It was in response to you trying to assert yourself as the alpha.
IOW don't flatter yourself.

Dan8267 says

Evidence plus sarcasm may make a point, but sarcasm without any evidence or reasoning does not.

Catch me up, I'm not going to try and piece together what you are talking about

Dan8267 says

Just answer the question.

What was the question

Dan8267 says

Bull-fucking-shit. If Obama gave weapons to Islamic terrorists, you and the entire Republican Party would be calling for his immediate execution as a traitor.

He did through fast and furious. Regarding which Eric Holder became the first member of a cabinet to be held in contempt of congress.

But it is irrelevant in that both were wrong, although North was convicted and punished for the crime.

Dan8267 says

Honey, it's not projecting when it's based on empirical evidence. You use the term "projecting" as "I can't think of any reason why you're wrong, so I'll make shit up."

Example: The math teacher said that the square root of two is irrational, but he's just projecting.

Nope it is just a fact, that much of what is said is not a fact rather name calling. E.G. you calling me honey.

"Psychological projection is the act or technique of defending oneself against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in oneself, while attributing them to others"

Math is just an a priori fact it is not projecting.

Call it Crazy says

Here Dan, this might help you with the definition of "listening":

1lis·ten

verb \ˈli-sən\

: to pay attention to someone or something in order to hear what is being said, sung, played, etc.

—used to tell a person to listen to what you are saying

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/listen

figure of speech
noun, plural figures of speech. Rhetoric .
any expressive use of language, as a metaphor, simile, personification, or antithesis, in which words are used in other than their literal sense, or in other than their ordinary locutions, in order to suggest a picture or image or for other special effect.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/figure+of+speech

I also suggest a new word, Benghaziphilia, meaning
Deliberate misinterpretation for the purpose of avoiding the truth.

Example usage: Indigenous's Benghaziphillia caused him to think that Patrick.net had a built-in screen reader after Dan mentioned people listening to a thread.

Dan8267 says

Boy are you grasping for Straws to suggest that Obama was responsible for Fast and Furious but Reagan was not for Iran Contra. Does the level of ridiculousness have no bearing on which lies you pick to say? You really should start factoring in ridiculousness into those decisions.

If you take that as a proposition, you must not have ever received real interest.

indigenous says

Indignant means feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what is perceived as unfair treatment. I'm showing annoyance at stupidity and deception. It has nothing to do with me and everything to do with you.

And as for how so, Obama has less connection to the execution of Fast and Furious than Chris Christie had to the execution of Bridgeghazi!

Dan8267 says

And as for how so, Obama has less connection to the execution of Fast and Furious than Chris Christie had to the execution of Bridgeghazi!

And yet his AG is found in contempt of congress (1st in history), he must take plausible deniability to a new level.

This made me laugh:

Keep grasping at those straws.

Eric Holder should be in prison having been found guilty of Contempt of Congress for withholding evidence in a criminal investigation. But that has nothing to do with Obama.

It has a lot to do with Bush and you damn republicans though. Because of Bush and other republicans there is no chance that Eric Holder or any other executive officer will ever be punished for crimes because of the real Bush doctrine, the one that goes, executive privilege trumps the law.

You're upset that Holder walked away scott-free after thumbing his noise at Congress? Blame republicans. I would have thrown his ass in prison the moment he refuse to comply with the subpoena for evidence.

We liberals believe in rule of law. You conservatives believe in suspending laws when they don't suit your agenda.

indigenous says

I'd personally blow the president if we could have the awesome economy we had during the Clinton years, and all of business would thank me for it.

If blow jobs for the president keep the economy going smoothly, there should a strategic reserve of fat chicks who like to suck cock.

Whatever I'm not going to defend Bush either.

But wouldn't you rather eat Bush than Hillbilly?

The deal is that the laws/rules have to be clear and enforced otherwise no one gives a shit about following them and those that do give a shit are cowed by not knowing what to do.

Dan8267 says
