A suggestion for anti-Clark posters
When discussing Clark and the military and his views on the role of the military and geopolitical policy, may I suggest reading a copy of "Winning Modern Wars". It will save you and your credibility when posting some of the things you post. That way, you'll know when you look foolish or not on some of these issues to Clark people.

14. Calling someone
as an 'asshole' is equally enlightening.

4. Applicable to all campaigns

12. I dunno
there are relative assholes (i.e., you disagree with me, therefore you are an asshole) and there are absolute assholes (i.e., your behavior degrades the human race no matter if you are wit me or agin' me).

Now, on to the various percentages of each for each campaign...

(missing fifteen minutes of tape)

Hope no one is offended.

XO,
Alan

6. I am neutral on the Clark issue but i think

The second poster is the one looking like an asshole IMHO. The first poster was just suggesting you read something before jumping to conclusion.
Of cource you can slam my response and convince everyone else.

9. ?
How the hell was he actling like an a-hole? He was simply pointing out that you should bother educating yourself about the man instead of succumbing to ad-hominem politically motivated attacks against him.

This is the reason why will will lose, everybody is so hell bent on promoting their candidate by attacking other candidates that it is resulting in a muddled, disjointed message to the rest of the country.

11. Yikes! And they're off and running
bloom takes an early lead with an 'asshole' label...it's meegbear coming up on the outside with an 'inyoface'...and Bleacher7's rhetorical diss takes the lead into the backstretch...

:silly:

16. I'm locking this
Please review the rules for posting a new topic in GD.

Also, a general statement, you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

Thanks

Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

1. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include profanity, excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation. Inflammatory rhetoric should also be avoided.

3. If you post an article or other published content which is from a conservative source or which expresses a traditionally conservative viewpoint, you must state your opinion about the piece and/or the issues it raises.

4. If you wish to start a vanity thread (ie: a discussion thread in which the sole purpose is to share your personal opinion) you must state your opinion in a non-inflammatory manner which respects differences in opinion and facilitates actual discussion.

5. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.
