The rhetorical technique is called "praising with faint damns" (a twist on the original).
It's fun to see you sputtering on angrily for paragraphs on end. Especially enlightening was this one:
I don't have a degree. I barely got out of high school before I went to work full time after working jobs since I was nine.
So why all the eagerness to take the side of someone making fun of COD for taking 12 years to get a degree? One would *think* you'd identify with her and admire her spunk and 'stick-to-it-iveness'. It's a nice contrast to the overly polished, Harvard-educated TOTUS, isn't it? And to Chris Coons, who has a Yale degree?
Or are you afraid someone from the left, or a RINO, with advanced degrees will look down on you, so you jump all over COD to deflect fire?
Why not START by own your accomplishments, which would gain the respect of everyone worth listening to: it used to be that people would brag about getting their degree from the "school of hard knocks."
And it is just that which excites so many conservatives about Palin and O'Donnell -- they are not elitists like Kerry, the Clintons, the Kennedys -- hell, almost the entire Dem ruling class -- and represent the best of American individualism, having LIVED and STRUGGLED to their current position, without having Daddy's connections or an Ivy League degree to open the way.
It's about what being HONEST about her past says about her, and why, after Barney Frank's lack of experience led to the disaster we're in, we would let someone who can't even take care of her own finances go to Washington to represent people in the greatest deliberative body in the world.
You mean like owning up to having dabbled with an Ouija board (which might discourage many of her Christian base)?
And the difference with Christine and Barney Frank is, Christine struggled, she didn't cheat and steal with other people's money, and then hide behind the press (and her own skirts, as the flaming queer Frank did "his" skirts) to keep it from coming out. She only messed up her own finances, which makes her that much more sensitive to being careful with others' money, including our descendants'.
So why pick on Christine?
Cheers!
Can’t have these little women getting above themselves...
You can't understand simple sentences, you should lay off the fancy stuff. My comment was not even about O'Donnell, it was a comment on how people don't like hearing facts that are inconvenient. He stated a fact, not a lie. If you don't think it matters, how can you claim it was an insult?

As you send a reply just as long.
You're not very good at this.

After telling you I don't care about degrees, why are you saying I should identify with O'Donnell because she has a degree? Learn to read.
Who was I saying would be angry about the poster bringing up a fact--O'Donnell? No. People like you, who freak out over simple facts.
I don't identify with O'Donnell because I'm not a conservative who doesn't pay her bills and then lies about it.
I don't identify with O'Donnell because I've never claimed to be a conservative and then sued a conservative non-profit for $6.9 million over 'mental anguish'. (Oops, there's another fact--I'm a hater.)
Or are you afraid someone from the left, or a RINO, with advanced degrees will look down on you, so you jump all over COD to deflect fire?
You watch too much Oprah. First you say I should identify with O'Donnell because she took a long time to get a degree, now you've switched to saying I'm attacking her because I want a degree. That's Oprah psychology, stop it, you're awful at it. Talk about deflection--you lied, you got caught, now you're like a trapped rat thinking, ok, gotta find another way out of my lie...I know, I'll accuse him of some psychobabble I heard on the tube!
Fail.

You really have to stop the silly TV psyche crap and simply READ--what part of "My multi-degreed boss regularly consults me" suggests I am somehow ashamed of my hard-won education?
And it is just that which excites so many conservatives about Palin and O'Donnell -- they are not elitists like Kerry, the Clintons, the Kennedys
Not being a Kennedy isn't enough. I don't care if O'Donnell or anyone else was born with nothing or was born with billions, character tells. Lying and suing for "mental anguish over being demoted because of my gender" is no different from anyone else who's trying to get a big payday they don't deserve--please tell me how that is being conservative? And then hiding behind the "I'm you!" crap--no, you're not me, I don't sue for millions over "mental anguish" when I dont' get a job.
You mean like owning up to having dabbled with an Ouija board (which might discourage many of her Christian base)?
When did I bring that up? What does that have to do with what I DID bring up--her inability to manage her finances while wanting to be in the body that controls our economy?
And the difference with Christine and Barney Frank is, Christine struggled, she didn't cheat and steal with other people's money, and then hide behind the press (and her own skirts,
So that $6.9 mil was her money?
She only messed up her own finances, which makes her that much more sensitive to being careful with others' money, including our descendants'.
LOL OK, so let's go round up all the biggest chapter 11 cases we can find.
I guess you'll have your car fixed not by someone who does excellent work, but by someone who's caused someone's brakes to fail, because he's that much more sensitive to what happens when he screws up?
When we twist our values to support someone on "our" side, we're screwing ourselves.
So why pick on Christine?
You keep saying that. I've not picked on her unless she's beyond criticism for her record, and if she is, what's she doing trying to become a senator?
She's either a sensitive little girl who is being picked on, or worthy of being one of only 100 senators.
Would you let her handle your finances?
I wouldn't.
Nice backing off your previous BS, btw, but your lies are still there for all to see, as are your flailing attempts here.
Cheers!
Save the cheers, just stop lying about me.
