SnyderShrugged Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You didn't even come close to refuting 95 percent of what I said in my post, but you are so hilarously partisan that you don't even realize it. On top of that, you use as your sole source "Canada Free Press." What, WorldNetDaily and the PostandEmail weren't talking about this yet? On top of that, the feeble point you are trying to make doesn't demonstrate a thing about White House control over this event rather than University of Arizona control, as the Politifact link fully demonstrates. Even now you won't let it go. Amazing. ---------- Post added January-14th-2011 at 11:21 AM ---------- Obviously an elitist and an enemy of Real Americans. LOL, there you go with the source stuff again. Just teasing ya man, but it is becoming very noticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 LOL, there you go with the source stuff again. Just teasing ya man, but it is becoming very noticable. Perhaps that is because I never try to support anything I say with a link to the "SparticusCommunistYouthLeague" blog. Neither does anyone else on this board who is liberal or moderate. Certain rightwingers feel perfectly free to use the most hilariously partisan websites, and try to get us to argue the biased nonsense on there as though it were "fact." I've gotten sick of it, and yes, I'm calling people on it lately. It skews and cheapens the discussion on this board and presents a false reality that we don't have to accept unless we want to.

brandymac27 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Why does it really matter who came up with the theme? People were killed and seriously injured. If anything, this should teach us that the blame game gets us nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 LMAO! OK man, I see where you are at now. (Oh Lord, is he serious?) Yes I am serious. When normal people on here link to an editorial (left or right), we all understand that it is an editorial and discuss it that way, as opinion. I'm talking about people who present "facts" from WorldNetDaily, or CanadaFreePress, or PostandEmail, or NewsMax, or Redstate, or FreeRepublic, or Hotair, or Townhall. That is what I call out. If people start linking to DailyKos or DemocraticUnderground for facts, I'll call that out too. But no one here does that. If it bugs you, skip my post.

That you seen this as proof of anything that occurred last weekend is nothing short of bizarre. aREDSKIN, the Malkin moron, the Canadian "journalist," and other flamers are asserting that because some random [edit NOT an xxxObama campaign stafferxxx] blogger on an open Obama community site used the phrase "together we thrive" in a blog 3 years ago, that is evidence that White House staffers secretly orchestrated and organized the Tucson event. Edit: It wasn't even an Obama staffer. It was a guy from Garland Texas (John Berry IV) who registered on the web site mybarakobama.com and made 3 posts, including one that had the "together we thrive" phrase. So aREDSKIN, keep digging to smear the Tucson event, but kindly STFU about this dead end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one post you say one side does it only, then in another you sate that both left and right do it, and now you are back to one side only? Confusing! Just to clarify. Everyone links to editorials supporting their side on an issue. That is fine. Some people link to partisan websites and pretend that they are linking to objective news reports. To "facts." That is not fine. And please understand, I am not saying that everyone on the right side does this. It is only a few people. The hacks. Because they are so deep in the echo chamber that what is written on WorldNetDaily really is their version of unbiased news. Leftists do this too, of course. If we still had CrazyHorse1 or Chomerics on here, we might be getting this from them. But right now, we don't. Am I clear now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooka Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 A In the meantime, maybe this will put things in perspective:I was present at the memorial in Tucson and as a Tucson native I can tell you that we are a very tight- knit community and in no way were our intentions to be disrespectful. Thanks for posting that.You guys all have to understand what kind of community Tucson is. These type of tragedies do not happen there. The people of Tucson are adamant about that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Obama Speech Praised By...Glenn Beck?Of all people, Glenn Beck called Barack Obama's speech Wednesday at the Arizona memorial "the best speech he has ever given." But predictably that momentary respite from his years long smear campaign against the President ended in the same breath. He criticized Obama for not saying those things "on Day 1." Then he said "thank you Mr. President, for becoming the president of the United States of America last night.” Smear campaign or pointing out the facts? Obama couldn't say that on day 1 because he had to wait for concrete proof there was or was not evidence the mass murderer was a tea party member or follower of Sarah Palin before going with speech option # 3.
