by the way, and this is directed towards everyone, the personal attacks lend nothing to debate. a differing opinion does not necessarily equate to a lack of intelligence, etc.

True. I agree. Geeker has a different opinion and no one is calling him dumb. GPK has a difference of a opinion and no one is calling him dumb. So does Mort and so do others.

Posting a press release by a hardcore republican governor with unsubstantiated accusations and trying to pass them off as some sort of fact is indeed dumb and adds less to the debate than the insults. We have a body of work from old timmi g that could go ten pages of dumb things.

Debate requires points supported by facts from each side. With Timmi you dont get that so I choose to have fun with him.

well, i guess timmi is a big boy and can take it. just that sometimes i feel you have to wade thru pages of muck to find anything of substance, and i find it tedious.

but i agree that this press release means nothing, which is why i asked for more. otherwise, it's just propaganda from that governor...

nope.
i'm not much of a tv watcher-until this time of year, it's all football, all the time. well, except for yesterday. i was pretty unhappy-three great games on t.v. i'd have loved to watch yesterday evening....but, duty calls. my daughter is in the band of SAU, so we trooped off to western arkansas for the evening to watch the hapless muleriders (yes, that's really their mascot) go to 0-4 vs henderson state. but the band was good.
we left just after half time, listened to the second half of lsu on the radio.

but i digress, what did the wonderful ms fey do last night?

Posted it. She did a mock of the couric interview.

You didnt miss much last night if you mean the georgia-bama game. Scare was not indicative of the route. this Bama team is really good.

yeah, i just watched it. hilarious. i know for the last few years snl hasn't been as good (but then, was it ever as good as the 'old days'?) but tina fey was always a bright spot on that show.

they have a pick em contest in the paper here, and i went with alabama-a lot of people, including my son, told me i was nuts. but i have all the games right so far, so who knows?
would love to get tix to the lsu/bama game, but i don't think it's gonna happen.

What exactly does mort believe...?


im givin mort a fat pitch to hit, can he connect? can there possibly be any substance? i say he stays within his world of inferior posters

This has been one of the cleaner campaigns imo.

What does bug me about Democrats is that they seem
to have a penchant for some sort of mental superiority
complex, and this overboard self-righteousness.

And Republicans consistently stick to the tired theme
that throwing money at something does not solve problems.
Yet they throw a billion dollars into a brand new bomber
that crashes and think nothing of it.
If the word Tax did not exist, the platform would be very stark.

You are Republicans so you are not allowed to be.
Those are the rules.
As set by Democrats.

Let me ask you, would you disagree with the assessment that Dimmy has said some really dumb things on here lately?

He has not presented us with very good sources of information
with the links. But at least he puts something up.

How about the claim that the holocaust had nothing to do with religion?

Well it had a lot to do with finding a
convenient(sp?) scapegoat in a country
that was severely ecomonically depressed.
Jews had assimilated very well into German
society and were successful. And easy targets.

I dont think Hitler invented the final solution to
punish Jews for their refusal to consider Jesus Christ
as the messiah.

What does this mean? It's a good thing that he makes ridiculous claims without providing any serious backup? "At least he puts something up"? Anybody can do what he does, but most have brains and aren't that irresponsible with their words.

It means I need to start reading his posts closer
(which I dont really) having never seen the holocaust post,
because there are people on this board who have a very
simplistic view of Jews and the Holocaust.

I just think if you are going to preach to people and act like you have it all figured out. Then maybe you should present your case a lot better. He doesn't, so he gets flack. And he gives it right back.

There can be no denying he has made some really dumb comments the last few weeks. I understand you not wanting to agree, but if you are going to insist on butting in, can you at least be honest and not skate around stuff. Say what's on your mind. Don't pussyfoot around and try and be clever. It doesn't work.

There is no attempt to be clever whatsoever.
So you disagree with my holocaust assessment.
Tell me why?

Maybe its cause my Dad was a lawyer. I see holes
in both sides. Ask me a question... I have never shirked
at giving at an opinion. And I really dont feel totally at ease
really thinking people are jerks unless I have met them.
I have met no one on this internet board.
You actually may not be a jerk at all.

I aksed you a question. It was a pretty simple quesion. You danced around and tried to be clever. It's fine.

No you really dont get it then.
What does being Jewish mean?
You tell me, were the Jews persecuted for WHAT THEY BELIEVED
or who they were? This is a very important distinction. You might
find it trivial, but it is not.

Who were the Jews in the early 30's in Germany?
What made them a target then?
Your turn, since apparently you are a holocaust expert.
