Why would this get me banned and kicked off a conservative website?
Edited on Tue Jun-21-05 11:28 PM by Mortos
Jim Traber was valliantly trying to debate some very articulate and intelligent people who have opposing views to him and I added this. It got me banned (again) in about 5 minutes. Why can't the big bad conservatives take a little tough debate?

It seems lately big jim traber is outnumbered on his own website by those who tear his ass up and he just can't take it.

See for yourself if you can stomach his bullshit.

www.jimtraber.com

My post:

There are at least half a dozen companies that can do what Halliburton is doing in Iraq. Halliburton is basically a huge temp service which hires people to do the work over there and then they provide the administrative folks who oversee it. Any large construction company could do the same thing.

Your argument, Mr. Traber, is specious but useful (by the way, stop me if any of the words I use confuse you) and has been used by the government and it's talk show puppets since this war began. It is also, unfortunately, false. But hey, repeatedly lying to the American people is a good way to win elections and make big money in the radio biz, right?

I was wondering, Jim, when you will be contacting a military recruiter to talk to your 17 year old son. Surely something as vital as defending our country against terrorists and saving the American way of life you proclaim to love is worthy of your son volunteering to take part in this great patriotic mission. Oh, wait? You are pretty well off right? Volunteering for military service is for suckers and poor folks according to people like you. Let the middle class and lower volunteer, your boy is going to college or maybe like dear old dad, he will play ball while other young men are being blown to bits. Talk about a hypocrite.

Maybe Brandon could lose a few pounds and join up (I hear they are getting desperate for volunteers). More than likely you and he will keep giving lip service to America while others give their life and limbs.

You have both become pathetic in my opinion but it keeps the paycheck coming, right?

By the way, it seems the more articulate and intelligent posters here are the ones who are not fooled by Bush's (and your) lies and call him (and you) on them. Your defenders are rarely capable of putting together a complete paragraph (just like you). Do you notice things like that or are intelligently written posts another sign of sissified wimpiness?

I have a recruiter's name and number if you need it or you can also find one on the internets.

3. Can't say that I know who Jim Traber is, but . . .
I can't imagine why he'd object to someone suggesting his boy should fight over in Iraq. Doesn't he support the troops?

6. Omg!
I just checked that site. Is that guy really a radio show host? He sure is stupid and ignorant! Repeating the same, tired, old 'liberals' are this 'liberals' are that. God it's getting so old!

I used to have fun arguing with them but now, it's just boring, it never changes, always the same, repeated and repeated, over and over. They all want to be Rush. He's bad enough, but imitations are just impossible to endure.

I would take it as a badge of honor to be banned from that site! Better still, I wouldn't waste the time signing up.

9. thinkingwoman - some things just hit too close to home for them
the carpal tunnel syndrome they suffer, the furry palms. Best to let them "tend" to themselves...

11. I didn't even know FR existed till I linked to it thru DU a
couple of years back...I got one post in, and was knocked out of there...:evilgrin:

I consider it a Badge of Honor!

High ranking RWnuts always talk about "sacrifice", it is deplorable that they sacrifice nothing, and look to gain in anything they can to enrich themselves.

Needless to say, I find them reprehensible.

The freepers lover those terms. They would have thought then you were one of them.

8. You were banned because you stood up to him.
He's the type of person who, not unlike our "President," feels intelligent and important when he's spewing his garbage to people that he knows will agree with him. With people like him, the belief must be why go to the trouble of debating an issue with merits and facts when it's so much easier to ignore the other side all together? Because when you open yourself up to debate and have someone challenge your ideas, you take the chance that you could be proven...oh, I dunno...WRONG!

Thanks for standing up to him by trying to point out his idiocy, thought I doubt it did any good. I'm not at all surprised that your response fell on deaf ears with Mr. Traber.

10. People don't like hearing the truth
Edited on Wed Jun-22-05 01:02 AM by oxbow
On some level, he must surely know his worldview doesn't fit with reality. And you weren't very polite to him either...

14. Talk about getting your ass handed to you.
Great job in taking the gloves off and really letting him have it.
