tee hee hee...

Nate Silver is a man of very small stature, a thin and effeminate man with a soft-sounding voice that sounds almost exactly like the “Mr. New Castrati” voice used by Rush Limbaugh on his program. In fact, Silver could easily be the poster child for the New Castrati in both image and sound. Nate Silver, like most liberal and leftist celebrities and favorites, might be of average intelligence but is surely not the genius he’s made out to be. His political analyses are average at best and his projections, at least this year, are extremely biased in favor of the Democrats.

Size envy, intelligence envy, voice envy, personal envy... the list just goes on and on.

And buddy, I hate to break it to you: Nate Silver is hung like a horse.

insulting physical appearance is automatically ignored by me. It takes a lot more brain power to actually criticize someone based on ideological or political bases rather than to simply call them effeminate and small. Essentially, he's calling Nate a "girly man," which automatically makes me tune out anything else this guy has to say.

If you're going to criticize an opponent and want me to actually listen to your argument, leave out the physical appearance digs.

10. Silver is a data analyst, he's a numbers guy, period

He make few if any claims about the underlying policies, he just looks at the available data and reads the meanings and trends as they are currently presented. As PBO's numbers dropped after the first debate, the RW couldn't be happier with him. Now that the numbers, not Nate's opinion, have move back to the President, they are trying to vilify him.

As noted if you can't argue on facts, his numbers are clearly reported, you are reduced to ad hominid attacks to demonize.

he wanted to make a powerful criticism, he should attack his methodology or numbers, but obviously he can't, so he goes for the schoolyard "nanny nanny boo boo, you're ugly and look like a girl" pot shot. Bravo. LOL.

But I knew this guy was worthless crap when I read the first paragraph of his little screed.

A real dickhead and as we used to say in England a right berk (Cockney rhyming slang).
