I am a socialist, you can hardly accuse me of being right wing.
Uh? So you just happen to be the one socialist in the world who shares the same set of preposterous beliefs with the crazy right in America? I get it: You're the
Zell Miller of the non-existent American socialist movement! Calling yourself a progressive and being one are two different things.
So what you are saying is that if you ridicule people, you're really just trying to understand them? You think ridicule will help you understand other people's view points?
What I'm saying is that you and redrum are so full of shit that there's not much more to do but laugh at you. I don't ridicule people; I ridicule YOU. There are certain things in life one must to bring to the table in order for other people to take you seriously. Credibility is one of them. When redrum invents his so-called facts - 16,000 IRS agents armed and ready to take you to prison, a fake birth certificate forged by the State of Hawaii more than 40 years in advance on the possibility that one unknown black Indonesian kid may run for president some day, $1.4 million paid to mob lawyers to seal Obama's records - and you then astonishingly endorse the nonsense, it's hard not to crack a smile. Indeed, it's INCREDIBLE - that is, beyond credible belief - that you would actually commit to something so obviously wrong in public. It's as if you don't care that you seem like an utter fool. I find this behavior hard to understand! So yes I want to understand you! But when I make jokes at your expense, I'm really just trying to share the love. I mean, seriously, as Alex from LA said, this is quite an amusing thread! Sometimes people need a good laugh to get through the day and you and redrum are always kind enough to supply the joke! And that joke, I'm sorry to report, is you.
Yes of course, if someone don't happen to have the same opinion as you, they have to be either insane or on drugs.
Actually, I think the most likely scenario is exactly the one you omitted from the list of options: you're a hobo with too much time on your hands. In fact, I know you're a hobo because I saw you chatting politics with a local transvestite a few days ago while panhandling on the corner of Santa Fe and Pueyrreddon. You asked me for a peso and I told you to get a real job. The transvestite also seemed to believe that the "mystery" of Obama's "missing" birth certificate is distressing and merits further discussion on baexpats.org. But to your credit you were quick to clarify that a reasonable hobo such as yourself believes that there are more important mysteries surrounding President Obama than his obviously foreign birth. And then you went on to rave about 16,000 IRS agents pouring into Buenos Aires to take you prisoner, and how you would fight to the death to avoid giving them the peso you just asked me for. You waved your arms in the air like you were chasing off flies and then amazingly you caught one and ate it. At that point I asked you to stop groping me and ran home as fast as I could. I found the experience more than a little unnerving.
All of this is absolutely true - no less than hard, cold fact - so just try to refute it! In fact if you do try to refute the story we'll all know that you're nothing more than a pawn of the left-wing media conspiracy! Suckaaaaah!
How about you start with debating the issues Redrum brought up? I have nothing more to add because I agree with most of what he posted. Or continue being a hypocrite and accuse me of not writing factual posts.
Glad you asked. Just one example from another thread where you and redrum are doing the same crazy hobo tag-team routine: the "fact" about Obama spending $1.4 million to "seal" his records. Where did you and your fellow hobo redrum learn about it? Not one credible news source - not even Fox - corroborates this absurd claim. Prove me wrong: post the link to any serious news organization reporting this "fact." You won't because there aren't any out there. Instead you will simply vanish in silence once again, chicken shit until the next crazy thread emerges full of inflamatory claims about Obama and the US government. In any event, from what I can glean, the rumor originated with the $1.4 million Obama was awarded along with his Nobel Peace Prize (which I concede was wholly unjustified). Conspiracy theorists took this figure and needed a reason for its existence. So they invented cash payments to corrupt lawyers for "sealed records." But before believing such nonsense a reasonable hobo would want to ask: Which "records" are they talking about? School? Taxes? Health? All have been released and widely reported on. What then is exactly "sealed?" Answer: nothing. The sealed records story is complete bullshit, another product of the right-wing internet echo chamber. Your buddy redrum, when of course he's not gniredrum soboh (so watch out!), is happy to pass along any crazy-ass shit he can so long as it subverts either Obama or common sense.
And sadly you fell for it like a hobo who's just been slipped a 10 peso bill by a transvestite named Rad encouraging you to renounce your American citizenship.
Orwellian, look at yourself, man! You look like a fucking fool for defending this nonsense. People want to take you seriously, but you have to try harder! Come join the reality based community! We are open to serious criticism of Obama and other political figures; indeed we encourage it. But your contribution must possess some minimal level of credibility. And that means you can't just make shit up. Redrum obviously does not meet this standard. But there is still time for you to save yourself! Unhitch your political wagon from the team of asses that's currently pulling it! You owe it to yourself!
