Misunderestimating The Furor Over Hurricane Harriet

Here's two more classic howlers from that crowd we've frequently witnessed for your list:

6. You're a longtime "sleeper" DU troll.

7. You're "stalking" me.

Think of the kittens!

If it had been false, I would.

FR is the largest conservative forum on the web, and therefore has the most accurate cross-section of conservative thought. If not FR, which other web forums do you believe represent conservative opinion better?

None of them do. Most conservatives don't post on the internet. They go to work, raise kids, go to PTA, and use the web to order books from Amazon.com.

That's why, it seems to me, most conservatives will support Bush's pick of Harriett Miers. They don't get into Supreme Court arcana, and they would never dream of making a judgement on a person before that person has had a chance to make her case.

[Verginius Rufus]

The doctrine of papal infallibility only covers pronouncements made ex cathedra on matters of faith or morals, not Supreme Court nominations...so even if President Bush had asked Pope Benedict XVI for advice and had followed his recommendation, the choice would not have infallibly correct.

Were 40% in the undecided category for Roberts?

The 26% "NO" should be a red flag. It is to anybody in the party who is honestly reviewing the scene.

[jmc813]

Ridiculous; go to ANY conservative gathering and 80 percent of the people have never even heard of FR.

Fair point, but that does not mean that we do not have a good sampling of conservative thought here. Can you think of any web forum that has a better cross-section of modern American conservative thought?

[rbmillerjr]

"go to ANY conservative gathering and 80 percent of the people have never even heard of FR."

Your comment reminds me of the media elite dumbfounding after the Reagan landslide. "But, I've never met anybody who voted for Reagan.

You should reassess your circles.

[Howlin]

There's surely a good sampling, but it's not represenatative, as the far right wing is much more prominent here than in the actual party.

Can you think of any web forum that has a better cross-section of modern American conservative thought?

Absolutely not; that's why "sleepers" come here to distrupt all the time!

[tumblindice]

Rainy days and Mondays, and conservative kindred souls
slanging back and forth, well, they always get me down.

Nothing to see here, let's move along.

[Howlin]

I don't need to reassess them; I know people from the White House to the local level; they are NOT anywhere near as "mouth frothing" as we are.

[mosquitobite]

You might want to look up Clifton 9th circuit before you continue to spread simply what the MSM wants you to believe.

[jaime1959]

> The official "Cult of Bush" mascot...the Howler Monkey! <

LMAO!!

[dakine]

Who in the White House?

[AlguyA]

"The real GOP wins elections, something most of you pitchforkers can't say."

Not always. In fact, in '92 it lost, BIG TIME after just four years of GW's father. It appears GW is returning to form. 2006 and 2008 could get real ugly real fast.

[AndyJackson]

oh my goodness. Now the best argument to support Miers is that FR is not representative of the collective conservative will. I will leave it to the social scientists to check out those statistics. I could not care less about collective statistics. My opposition is based on my thorough review of her notoriously empty record and not the statements of any other representative or non-representative individual.

Trashing inside the fence opposition or trying to move the fence is not going to help this argument one little bit.

[sinkspur]

You might want to look up Clifton 9th circuit

You do it for me. I have no idea who "Clifton" is.

[AndyJackson]

The problem is everyone wanting to count the 40% in the yes category to show that those who have questions should be marginalized.

[Howlin]

Because the unappeasables sat home or voted for Ross Perot.

[mosquitobite]

[Howlin]

As if I'm going to name names. Not Bush though.
