Oooweee! Getting a little testy, are we, Impy? Did a few of my teensy arrows land too close to the mark?
Im not an Ann-attacker CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC
Hey, if the shoe fits..... Let's look at what you did say: "Maybe shes a rat plant" and you criticized her 9/13/01 column as being indefensible, and you derided her fans, of whom I am one, with "I dont care for cults of personality where the worshipee can do no wrong in the followers eyes," and so on.
Verdict: You're (still) guilty as charged.
Serious writers should think before they write ridiculous things
So, you're saying you're not a serious writer? Well at least here's SOMEthing we both agree on.
I was pinged to this thread and gave my damn option which a lot of people...
And what damn option might that be, pray tell? (And do you have any options that are less damnable?)
And when you came into the thread, you 100% supported Pubicus, the same freeper who went on a rant about about some awful, vicious, (and imaginary) "attack" Ann launched against Jindal. So I have no sympathy for you getting your undies all twisted into a wad at the fact I lumped you in with Pube.
Im not on a mission to slander your girlfriend.
Well that's good, because I'm not on a mission to slander your boyfriend Bobby.
YOU CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC seem to an Ann Sycophant however feeling the need to defend her to the death.
Still having trouble parsing your English, but I think I get the general jist ... "Ann Sycophant".
"Sycophant: a person who tries to please someone in order to gain a personal advantage". Well, since I've never met and likely will never meet Ann, it appears your attempt to find a derogatory synonym for "Ann fan" has missed the target by a mile. Better luck next time. (Hold on a minute .... did you think I'm trying to please YOU? Say, you're not one of those S&M types, are you?)
The remarks werent verbal she WROTE them in her column.
Aha! I can see you think this is your Perry Mason Moment here, where the collective jaws of the judge, jury and prosecution all drop to the floor at your brilliant, game-changing, revelation. So now we can formulate Impy's Law:
Although people can say things in the heat of the moment, it is impossible to write things down in the heat of the moment.
So with Ann's closest friend's corpse still smoldering, with images of the first known hijackers (all middle-eastern-origin Muslims) coupled with videos of Palestinians wildly dancing and celebrating her friend's death all first appearing on the tube just as she is writing her column, we can still authoritatively conclude that any claims of Ann reacting "in the heat of the moment" can be easily banished by applying your ironclad law. Why, she wrote those words, for pity's sake!! How could they then be considered "in the heat of the moment"?
Why, yes, of course we all see your point now! We might spot Ann, oh, let's say, 5 seconds .... oh let's be generous! - allow her 10 seconds immediately after Barbara's murder and the images of joyous celebration appearing, in which to react in any way she chooses (but only verbally).
But after 10 seconds, we should fully expect her to have calmed down, to have put her friend's death behind her, to take in stride the Palestinian's Die Infidels! Party Video and relegate it to distant dim memories, to be getting on with her life once more, to be enjoying the rainbows and beautiful sunsets, to once again be stopping to smell the roses, etc etc etc.
Seen in this light, ie it being the written instead of spoken word, there is no way we can apply "heat of the moment" to try and empathize with her indefensible comment about invading countries in response to vicious attacks on our own country (like we did to Japan, Germany, Afghanistan), or killing their leaders (like Tojo, Goering, Saddam), or converting them to Christianity (like 1000's of missionaries tried in post-war Japan, but fell far short of what they'd hoped for).
And again unless Im wrong she never later said that she doesnt in fact believe we should go on the final crusade.
Straw Dog Alert! Did she ever call for a "final crusade"? No. Was she talking about Muslim countries other than those harboring, aiding and abetting the murderers of 9/11? No. Did she ever repeat this statement? Ever? No. Does the lack of an official retraction prove she still strongly supports her eight-year-old statement? No way.
That particular remark was not helpful to advancing conservative thought.
Au contraire. It's you and the originator of this thread whose constant attacks on Republicans who don't measure up to your standards at any given moment, who are "not helpful to advancing conservative thought".
And BTW, I noticed in an earlier post, you commented: All corrupt or evil rulers in the Mid East or anywhere deserve to die (or least rot in prison) in my option.
(There you go with your options again!) Regarding this comment of yours, I'd like to point out that: "You wrote that down and had time to think about it and as far as I know you've never retracted it."
(And if that gives you any dejavooish feelings, you might want to reread your post #225).
Lots more of your post I wanted to get to, but it's getting late..... So I'll finish with one last thought:
From years of participation in online political discussion groups, I believe I recognize the overall category you belong to, Impy. You are the type of forum poster who gazes down upon the list of thread titles at the high level view, in the exact same way that a pigeon gazes down upon a park full of statues that have just been cleaned. A pulse of excitment beats in your breast at the thought of so many opportunities! : To choose the first target from among many tempting ones, to swoop in quickly and proudly leave your little dropping for all to see, then to quickly fly off to the next target and the next, and the next, never staying too long, so as to spread your droppings as far afield as possible.
(Of course, this thread doesn't qualify for Soiled Statue Status. It was a Poop Pile from the start.)
“From years of participation in online political discussion groups, I believe I recognize the overall category you belong to, Impy.”
I recognize your category FRiend, the d-bag who talks out of his behind.
Cya round.
