Yeah, that’s how a lib argues. Invective and dishonesty.

I explained to you already that my remarks do not imply that you should “Either submit, and agree, or shut up.” In true lib style, though, you continue to repeat that false assertion.

Following that, you attempt to slur me with a reference to “fundamentalists” (Palin-amentalists), which is a great example of point 2 in my earlier note: “A liberal trying to pass himself off as a conservative can be identified by the differences between the positions he thinks conservatives hold and those they really do.”

People over at DU may be horrified and furious at being compared to fundamentalists. Conservatives, though, have far too much perspective to be bothered by such nonsense. Not only that, in contrast to your average libtard, we actually understand what the word “fundamentalist” means.

You go on to assert that I am “so, so angry” at you for being “not so sure. [More vulgar invective redacted]”

There’s another one I need to add to my list of traits of lib debaters: Groundless accusations of this or that extreme emotion, and amateur psychoanalysis.

Anybody who wants to think that it is I who have been angered by this exchange is free to do so.

Since you apparently didn’t pay any attention the first time I posted it, here’s Thomas Sowell again: “It is amazing how many people think that they can answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them. Using this kind of reasoning, you can believe or not believe anything about anything, without having to bother to deal with facts or logic.”

“...answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them.”

Isn’t that what you’re so angrily doing? I neither respect nor trust Sarah Palin as much as you do, and dare to express that, and you type paragraph after paragraph telling me things like “A reasonable person would know that the proper response is to give honest consideration to the position I offered.” Hafta tell ya, again, that sounds like a gauntlet a Slammie Fundie might throw down. Give up. I don’t love Sarah. I’ll probably never love Sarah. You can’t lecture me into loving Sarah. You can’t bluster and accuse me into loving Sarah. Allow me to express what I feel to be reasonable reasons for my lack of Sarah-love, and leave it at that. Don’t answer my arguments and opinions by attributing bad motives to me simply because I disagree with you. (Vulgar invective redacted) it.

And if my vulgar invective that needs redacted, does yours? From your post 70: “It is hard to believe that a man won’t pussy out when you know that you would pussy out if you were in his place.” Disappointing, dsc.
