“Didn’t say that, but I guess you’re wound too tight today with your anti-Palin snark to understand that.”

Throwing up Baldwin as an excuse is not right Lakeshark. Only a couple of FReepers voted for that guy, out of what, 150,000?

When you do that you deserve what I posted ;-)

You are such a drama queen, I never said you voted for him did I?

Go preach to your little band of malcontents, heck there's at least a dozen of you.

And talk about absurd, you're one of the best around for hyperbole.

That comment made sense to them or they wouldn’t have typed it and hit send. This is one of the people who are backing Palin no matter what, defending her no matter what.

Does that make one person want to join them? No, it makes people want to run from them.

Thus it is clear, these folks are destroying the very person they say they adore. Now that is a sad twisted reality to be sure.

What a shameless jerk. What where folks supposed to think, reading that comment addressed to me? You wrote it in a manner to provide plausible denial to you, but the effect was the same as if you had said I voted for him. You implied I was the type that would.

So what this reveals is that you are just a disinformation hack, startled that someone called you on something you thought you had insulated yourself against.

There’s no chance that’s going to happen when you post trash like that to me, you prick.

RE :”And I find it damned scary to realize we have people on our side who get instantly furious if you try to explain mistakes our candidates make..

Even worse is we don't really even have any candidates yet. We only have potential candidates that stick to favorable situations that tell us nothing about what they would do as president. Even when they do finally officially run they dodge any difficult questions and come up with happy smiley faced answers. Mccain was going to cut every-ones taxes(when he traditionally opposed tax cuts) , Obama would pay for everything free health care, education, bringing back jobs by taxing the rich and leaving Iraq. It was clearly nonsense yet the horse-race environment created a fog to make it look like something serious was really being debated or that they had serious positions.

If someone builds up any live person to an unrealistic hero figure they will suffer the pain of having others drawn to bring them down and they will. GWB was that larger than life hero many years ago and it didnt end pretty.

Generally, you own that title, and you're projecting fairly well. Your hyperbole is amazing.

You're such a drama queen, just back away from the keyboard and count to 10, it really might help.

For the record...

hy·per·bo·le

[hahy-pur-buh-lee]
 

–nounRhetoric.

1. obvious and intentional exaggeration.
2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”

Example: "Like voting for Chuck Baldwin."

I didn’t vote for Chuck Baldwin. You posted that comment to me. It was an example of hyperbole.

LakeShark, do you have a mental disability?

They are afraid of her. Get your noggin out of the sand. Your PDS is showing..

you are nobody..

They're not afraid of her running because they believe that she could be easily defeated.

Exactly right. It’s the reason why folks are teeing off on the whacked out variety of Palin supporters these days.

From your post 325: It just amazes me to come to this forum and see folks say, “She probably couldn’t do any worse than Obama, and would probably be better than Bush.”

A great example of hyperbole, you make it sound like that's a common attitude, and I'm betting you can't find many posts that say that out of the tens of thousands, heck I'm not even sure you can find one.

But that's typical of your rhetoric. Pure unadulterated hyperbole.

The post (your post) I was commenting on said this: ...and stupefyingly ignorant

You inferred I said that about you, and have been going off on your drama queen idiocy ever since.

I find it damned scary to realize we have people on our side who get instantly furious if you try to explain mistakes our candidates make.

I find that scary as well. Partisanship is fine until it turns you into a moron. I've seen it countless times amongst people of all political stripes.

I pride myself on being fair and reasonable. I can be against Obama politically all day long and not believe that he's a muslim or homosexual. I can oppose his entire administration (and I do) without caring about his wife's fashion sense or the size of her rear end.

You left out drama queen, in this post, you know the one where you try to frame me as a practitioner of hyperbole.

Well you’re still using phrases like...

pure unadultrated hyperbole (even though you are the only one proven to be guilty of it)
drama queen (even though you are acting the part of one here)
rhetoric (even though I’ve directly addressed people’s comments on this thread)

So stupefyingly ignorant doesn’t seem all that far off to me.

Once again, do you have a mental illness? You sure don’t seem to understand what your posts look like to others.

You didn't answer my example of your hyperbole, and it's obvious you can't.

But I'm not surprised.

You also need to understand what I was commenting on with my Baldwin comment, which was your post, it had nothing to do with your vote. I have no idea who you voted for.

You could have taken care of that comment a whole lot differently, yes?

I don’t really feel the need to respond to your thin or non-existent charges on point. Other people here recognize you for what you are.

You aren’t capable of arguing on the point, so you utilize charges of using hyperbole, or acting like a drama queen, or using worthless rhetoric.

You post stuff on the forum to tarnish others because you can’t defend the indefensible. You use hyperbole to charge others with it. And when called on all this, you just continue to trash the person who recognizes you for what you are.

You are by design, necessity, or blind ignorance a disinformation specialist. You do anything you can to move people off the point that your infatuation is misguided. You insult them, you post lies about them, or you call them names so that they will not continue to point out what a flawed whack-job you are, and that your candidate has made some serious miscalculations.

You’re not surprised... as if I care. You’re not surprised because you don’t really care as long as you can keep people fighting with you, rather than pointing out what you and your candidate have done, and continue to do.

Palin continues to back one of the worst Republicans of the last fifty years. You continue to trash folks who call her on it. Nobody is being fooled by your disrespect for wholesome values and Conservatism.

Now, call me Drama Queen and continue to emply hyperbole to charge me with using it. After all FakeSnark, that’s all you’ve got.

I gave a specific example of your hyperbole, and you can't answer.

I've been awaiting your examples.

All I hear is *crickets*

Oh, BTW, this is what Sarah Palin seems to think makes a guy like John McCain worthy of her support against a solid Conservative.

And, I should point out that you are a person who evidently agress with her.  You defend her here regularly.

So I guess you two make a pretty good team.  One of you supports the biggest RINO most of us have ever seen, and the other defends her for doing it against all comers.

Yep, the biggest threat you've been able to spot on this thread, is me.  A person who won't sit still for Palin's and your behavior on Conservative matters.

It is interesting, who in your mind seems to be the biggest threat to Conservatism.  Me.  Of course McCain and his lackey Palin aren't.  Nah, that just doesn't compute for you.  You spend your time taking me on, but can't work up so much as a five word sentence to condemn what McCain or Palin are up to.

She has television spots running in Arizona on a regular basis showering complementary phrases on the man that has done this.  And you spend your time taking on people like me here.
