1. I've seen two topics from you tonight

Both vaguely-worded, non-specific rants against...nothing much. Having a bad day?

4. Nope, just irritated by the constant regurgitation against candidates...

based on MSM spin...

"CNN reported that Obama turned away

rather than shake Hillary Clinton's hand. Such a gentleman."

I was watching Obama the WHOLE TIME and he did NOT deliberately avoid Hillary.

I've just had it with the fucking bullshit, and excuse my use of choice language, but there are no other words that express what I'm feeling.

10. Interestingly enough, I made a topic on that very issue. :)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4256192

And it was quite deliberate.

14. Interestingly enough, I don't agree in the slightest.

And since I don't make it a practice of arguing with fools...

17. And I usually don't bother with trolls

which is pretty much what you've been doing so far.

21. Better?

Perhaps I was a bit accusatory, but that doesn't mean I perceive your take on the issue as anything but ridiculous . :evilgrin:

9. So which is it you don't like, the fact that I use language

you don't approve of, or that I am annonymous to you?

Both of which can be remedied, but by different means.

6. If they had said Hillary refused to shake Obama's hand

you would have believed it.

13. And you make that statement from what knowledge of me?

I do not believe bullshit when it is so obviously Bullshit. While I don't agree with Hillary's politics, I know that she has respect for her fellow Candidates, as does Barack Obama.

15. Well, I thought you deserved a little dissing

for calling people stupid.

I don't believe or disbelieve the report. I'll wait to see it for myself and decide.

8. It appears only to be Bullshit if it anyway reflects negatively

on Sen. Obama. If the msm is critical of Sen. Clinton or her husband it is eagerly lapped up by the more ardent Obama supporters.

Each side is guilty of this.

Just as each side is guilty of tearing dowm revered Democratic icons if they dare endorse the opposing candidate.

All of it is childish bullshit.

11. The MSM is trustworthy if they're criticizing my opponent or someone I don't like

not so much if they're criticizing someone I like and support.

It's kinda self-serving.

16. Making assumptions, are we?

I look with my own eyes. Spin is shit, and I don't buy it no matter who "they're criticizing".

19. I'm just saying what I've seen some people do sometimes

I've seen people pull out right wing sources to attack a Dem and insist that "even a broken clock is right twice a day."

No assumptions, just seems that some people will take any source that agrees with them.

12. People who don't like Obama anyway need a made up reason to call him names.

It's so lovely to come on DU and see a Democratic candidate called sexist, pig and asshole over something that probably didn't happen the way CNN said it did.
