Err... Rove said he *wasn't* in the reality based community Recursion May 2015 #47

Yes, Rove did indeed use the mindf*ing phrase. delrem May 2015 #49

He mockingly called progressives and moderates "the reality based community" Recursion May 2015 #50

Actually, Rove *defined* a so-called "reality based community", delrem May 2015 #51

No, I even linked Suskind's article above. Rove said he *wasn't* in the reality based community Recursion May 2015 #52

OK. We're at a wall. delrem May 2015 #53

Read the ****ing quote. I posted it for you. Recursion May 2015 #54

However, you are no longer responding to what I've written. delrem May 2015 #57

I don't question Rove's definition because it's correct Recursion May 2015 #58

Well there you go. You accept Rove's definition of political reality. delrem May 2015 #59

You don't think solutions emerge from the observation of reality? You think Rove is right? Recursion May 2015 #60

Sorry. I don't accept Rove's definition. That's a fucking no-brainer. nt delrem May 2015 #62

Umm... you don't believe in studying reality to come up with solutions? You're like Karl Rove? Recursion May 2015 #63

OK. You're WAY into Rove-speak. I've got that. delrem May 2015 #64

OK, fine, how would you define "reality-based community"? Recursion May 2015 #65

I told you, I reject the phrase. delrem May 2015 #69

Look at how my conversation has gone. delrem May 2015 #61

Well, when you ally yourself with Rove like you are on a Democratic board Recursion May 2015 #66

What you say about me is a lie, pure and simple. delrem May 2015 #67

You're the one who doesn't want to be in what Rove called "the reality based community" Recursion May 2015 #68

All I know is the quote came from Rove. It sure wasn't an endearment. Autumn May 2015 #70

I likewise don't like the idea that the object of a discussion is to "change the opponent's mind". delrem Jun 2015 #73
