(2,770 posts)over and over, since Obama was elected. I understand how disappointing it is when people refuse to sing along.
It's not that they don't know the words. It's just that the lyrics have a hollow, empty sound, largely due to invariably predicting doomsday scenarios that never come to fruition.
Perhaps you and Greenwald can start a sing-along elsewhere. There are lots of websites where this kind of off-key dirge appeals to the doom-and-gloom faithful - those who can't carry a tune (nor recognize the facts), but are nevertheless convinced that their screeching voices deserve to be listened to.
I thought you'd outdone yourself in the laugh-my-ass-off category by admonishing me - or anyone - to "stick with the issues, not the hyperbole". But that was before I read your latest reply:
"And I was out there at the age of nine, fighting to get all the soldiers home ..."
Seriously, dude, you need to get yourself another hobby. This one just isn't working out for you. You're already seen as ridiculous - and claiming to have "fought at the age of nine to bring the soldiers home" is just the icing on an incredibly distasteful, albeit laugh-worthy, cake.
