I always knew the guy was a vicious, oppressing, capitalist oppressor stomping the necks of the oppressed under the iron boot-heel of oppression. Hey, lookit me - four invocations of the same word in a single sentence! I could be a scriptwriter for The Motorcycle Diaries II - Decomposing In Bolivia. Sign me up, Bob. I work for cash, just like your gardeners.

I looooove this approach! I am a big-time believer in using the liberals’ methods against them. Whenever I get into an environmental discussion with someone, I am quick to point out that environmentalism=religion. Now I have some more ammo: environmentalism=racism. Time for us to change the paradigm.

Just wait until they find out what “cap and trade” is and what it will mean to them! Yes enviromentalist’s are against the poor they think the earth and them are more imprtant than you nd your family. That world has too many people so a few less of all of us is a good thing in enviromentalist’s minds.

Good points -- Obama plans to offset “cap and trade” impacts on the poor with more government handouts/welfare. It all makes sense ... to the Marxist/socialist mind.

Robert WHO?

Global Warming and Environmentalism is a religion. They have a leader, like a pope and carbon offsets are like indulgences that the Vatican gave. No offense to Catholics, but that is what it reminds me of. Many of these global warming fanatics are people who are devoid of spirituality and have an empty life.

Well gees, they are so fanatically about it.

Man I like Roy and Niger Innis!

...racist MSNBC sure doesn't.

[Rennes Templar]

The way you wrote it sounds like sarcasm in defense of him.

[eleni121]

Thank you to CORE and MR Innis!

We need more activists like Innis that’s for sure.

Is Redford THAT Stupid?.. or an opportunist?..

How about both.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well in writing. It depends on tone of voice as well as facial expression. Deadpan tone with a roll of the eyes is a sure sign of sarcasm.

In reading what someone has written it's best to take what is written at face value unless someone uses the /<sarcasm tag. It is why it was invented and it's use means you don't have to have the ability to read someones mind to know what their intentions are.

Beginning a sentence with “Yeah” and ending with “hehe” certainly would lend one toward a literary interpretation of sarcasm, or at least a tone of non-seriousness.

“Beginning a sentence with “Yeah” and ending with “hehe” certainly would lend one toward a literary interpretation of sarcasm, or at least a tone of non-seriousness.”

The tone intended was one of glee. Again, unless there is a sarcasm tag attached to the post, you would be better off taking posts at face value. Unless you are a mind reader off course, which in your case is obviously not a factor.
