32. No one has ever said that any of that is mutually exclusive
Edited on Sat Aug-14-10 12:46 PM by MrScorpio
As both the Teabaggers and we liberal elitist types commonly share many qualities like eating, breathing, digestion and autonomic nervous system functions. Of course, that passage you've quoted can be considered in the same category, can it not?

But you've seemed to have completely ignored both the paragraph preceding and several following the "You've always worked hard, raised a family, put a roof over their heads, drank beers with your buddies, hunted in season, watched the game on Saturday, went to church on Sunday, paid your taxes, saved up for your retirement and lived a generally productive, albeit non-descript, life." statement in your poorly worded retort.

By performing this semantic sleight of hand, you've based your ad hominem attack on perilously shaky ground, because you've chosen to ignore those caveats which have specifically defined who can classified as a god-damned idiot or not.

Frankly, if you're going to attempt to debate me with such an obvious lack of forbearance and ability for critical thought, my friend, it would behoove you add an appropriate smilie or some such thing. That way you can camouflage your apparent contempt for this forum with a disguise of sarcastic discourse and continue posting until that contempt becomes too much for you to bear.

And really, calling me "thoughtless"... Projecting much?
