calcow:I lied about nothing. Your false accusations are disgusting.
We'll get to that a bit further down, where you challenge me for examples.
g_w:You know, I even relinked to one of those posts, before you did, showing how he was enthusiastically responding to the-now-banned-PDS-troll pissant.
calcow:I linked to them, too. Are you saying that anyone who ever agreed with pissant is a "zombie" or troll? You think they should all be banned? How about Lakeshark? Is he now a "zombie" "troll" too? You're going to live in a very lonely world if you keep this crap up.
This is a lovely strawman. Accuse the opponent of something they never did, then blame them for it. Just like Sheriff Dipstick tried to do to Palin in the wake of the Tucson shootings (which were, when all was said and done, found to be the work of a leftist who had been reported to the Sheriff's department as a threat, which should have precluded him from getting a gun -- but had the complaints quashed due to his being related to some County employees).
No, I did not say 'everyone who ever agreed with pissant' is a zombie.
Yes, I did say it about the other dude.
No, I don't think it fits Lakeshark -- he's arguing against members of the PDS brigade, so he's much less likely to be a PDS troll. Wouldn't you agree?
g_w:First you and the other dude falsely accused me of calling him pissant;
calcow:NO - I DID NOT. If you think I did, show me the quote and provide a link. (If you think I did, you need a serious reading comprehension lesson.)
Here you go, like shooting fish in a barrel.
First you (source: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2697426/posts?page=229#229):
calcow:So what? That doesn’t mean they are pissant or agree with pissant on everything.
Now the other guy (source: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2697426/posts?page=227#227):
Hey, why don’t you just settle the matter once and for all, ping the powers that be and ask them if I am Pissant. Go all out my friend.
g_w:I called him a zombie because he agreed with pissant about Duncan Hunter
calcow:Well, there you have it. Absolutely insane logic on your part.
Not insane at all. Look at pissy's posting history of choosing one conservative after another, but always trashing Sarah.
There are similarities there to the list provided by the other guy.
Not disposative, by itself.
g_w:As it is, it looks like both of you are attempting to tag-team, and failing badly.
calcow:Nobody is trying to tag team anyone. <snip>
Note, btw, the timing of those posts. Separated by six minutes. This is why I used the phrase "it looks like". Again, not disposative; but still noteworthy.
calcow:<snip> IN fact, I don't think I've ever had a dialogue with LowOil. I am sick however of people trashing good conservatives (e.g. Duncan Hunter) on FR.
Congrats. Now you know how supporters of Palin feel. Except you don't, because I haven't seen a single person banned from FR for suffering from Hunter Derangement Syndrome.
Nice false equivalency. You .
g_w:Show your own posts from the past, where you explain in detail why you like Hunter; and then show where you've attacked any other conservative GOP Prez wannabee, other than just trashing Sarah.
calcow:There are too many to post. Giuliani, McCain, Huckabee, Romney... go see for yourself. You'll have a field day, LOL.
Close, but no cigar. See where I said conservative??
Your names don't count -- though if you are opposing them on policy grounds, that's all to the good.
Cheers!
Look — I don’t know what you think you proved, but you still haven’t shown me anything I lied about. Calling me a liar was over the top and way out of line. You trying to attribute the beliefs/comments of one poster to another, solely based on their agreement on item/post is ludicrous. That is what I meant when I said L.O. is not pissant. I never alleged that you said they were the same person as you asserted (and claimed I was a liar).
As to my positions, I am all about issues. I will criticize elected officials and/or candidates based on those issues. I opposed Giuliani and McCain based on their support for cap-and-trade. When I found out Huckabee supported same, I rejected him. The list goes on.
I agree with you that none of those mentioned above are truly “conservative.” But everything is relative and some issues are more important to me than others. In the end, I don’t see enough of the potential candidates taking the positions I would like to see. When they announce, and all their positions are identified, I hope I am surprised to find someone that will represent my priorities.
