I concede that Trump insulted people believing Carson’s fairytale WWE belt stabbing storyline.
goodwithagun: You joined less than one month ago, so trying to pin this on any group is hysterical.
To be fair, there have been a lot of "casualties of debates"... so he could have had to make a new account.
goodwithagun: My son is on the high functioning end of ASD. His iq at six was 127. What I’m getting at is that seven and one half he’s smarter than you.
He didn't say anything at all disparaging anyone's intelligence there, he just noted that their obliviousness to the more emotional aspect of the behavior, which is exactly why it's said that the autistic "are characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts."
Is it insulting to use the characterization to describe the phenomenon? Perhaps, but the "almost like" certainly makes it clear that it's a characterization description he's making, not a pejorative or insult which, it seems, is how you took it.
My account is new because my usual commenting hang out place, ace of spades hq banned pretty much every Trump supporter. I've been on his blog since 2003 but now I'm a fascist or liberal, Hillery supporter, or whatever to Ace. It's all very weird what's happened to Conservative Web sites.
I've been reading FR on and off since 2001 or so but I think this is the first time I've done any posting.
And the CINO MSM aren’t any better.
Thanks!
Cruz was trying to politely refer to Trump’s henchman Roger Stone who is widely known as a political “r@tf*cker” (the guy who does the dirty stuff behind the scenes).
Stone’s fingerprints were all over the National Enquirer Cruz adultery story.
Exact same can be said of Cruz supporters against trump supporters - Can't say who threw the first stone but it's at least as bad in that direction.
IMHO a lot of high IQ people are somewhat autistic, it helps you concentrate.
It was still a weird, creepy thing to say. If Trump had spoken of copulating with rats no one would be trying to explain it. They would just say it disqualified him from being president, since you can’t have the leader of the free world riffing on which rats he would or wouldn’t copulate with.
Cruzablanca: “We’ll always have Wisconsin.”
The masses are in communist nations. America has “the public.”
Indeed. They have the ability to think outside the box, if you will. There are many geniuses that have been diagnosed with ASD post mortum. I believe Einstein was.
Why would you support anyone lying in any context?
“Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.” (Ephesians 4:25)
“Not only do we not understand each other, people REFUSE to even TRY and understand each other.”
Bingo! Moreover, the style of argument/rebuttal is genuinely misrepresentation, obfuscation, cherry picking, etc., rather than factual. This is truly the liberal style of debate, which is being used by so many posters here that I previously thought were credible. Not so much anymore. Can’t believe it!
