Either you are intentionally playing dumb to cover up an idiotic point, or you are just about THE most confused FReeper I have ever come across. Go back and re-read your own freaking post. The one I replied to. I'll post it to this thread a third time, and maybe it'll finally sink in.
"Juan Williams is, and has always been, an intellectual lightweight."
So, no, I certainly did not use his position "as some kind of marker of “conservative equivalence."" I was pointing out that the man has obviously not always been a intellectual lightweight. I also concurred that Williams is openly liberal, your attempts at building a strawman argument notwithstanding. This is what I am referring to when I talk about a compulsive need to post stupidity. Its the only reason I know you exist. You made three dumb posts to FR. I called you on each of them. Then you insisted on digging yourself a deeper hole defending the indefensible.
Your intellectual dishonesty and propensity to resort to personal attacks upon people you do not agree with is completely and clearly on display.
You tried to disprove my point about Williams always having been an intellectual lightweight by saying he came out in favor of Thomas twenty years ago as if that was some miraculous and overwhelming display of his intellectual acuity, when it merely was a normal position given the ridiculous and vicious attacks by the Left and Anita Hill.
You complain about my level of intellectual ability and then you have continued to display your superior debating skills by violating one of the key tenets of FreeRepublic, that of not engaging in personal attacks, but calling me a “dumbass” and an “idiot”.
Now I see you are continuing your abusive pattern with other Freepers who just happen to disagree with you.
Perhaps this forum is just beneath you and you would be happier elsewhere, where there are more people of your obviously superior intellectual caliber, and where your unique debating style of insult and name calling can be better appreciated.
