I'll play along.

You called me a rapist? You MUST be a rapist yourself!

See why your argument is ridiculously flawed now?

To be honest, he's a photographer. He doesn't really make art in the classical sense of the word. He captures specific moments and that is what is considered the art. He doesn't literally exhibit blood and semen in an art gallery. He takes a picture of it that is meant to capture reaction. I'd understand far more if people were disgusted by him literally grabbing a jar of piss sticking a cross in it and that being shown at a museum. However, that's not the case. They're photographs meant to make people think. Not the literal objects being sold at galleries.

Oh sorry, that's what I meant, that he takes pictures of the objects in blood, semen and urine, supposedly.

Yes. It seems that every morning, when I turn on the news, and see new protests in the ME, supposedly about an idiotic film which offended them, I understand why they were ruled by dictators for so long.

Is that because it's your experience that dictators promote protests or do you think they are venting a desire to protest that was stifled for so long?

Oh, I didn't read that properly. My bad. Election season. Ya know? Also, drug free for what seems like years now.

No, it's because people who have great difficulty controlling their base impulses need a strong authority figure.

Ok, but you claimed Obama was a Muslim. He's not, but so what if he was? Are you suggesting he is an extremist? :confused:

no I am not, he has not shown himself to be an extremist in any fashion about anything.

So then what's the point of bringing up that he's a Muslim? :)

Does the Christian right also believe the White House should comment on every movie released? Let's face it, I've heard right wingers claim the last "Cars" movie had anti-business and Republican overtones.

I missed that one (plenty other movies which did receive strange criticisms like that though), but I just thought that people thought Cars 2 was something to complain about because it sucked.

Where? Show us? If there's no problem with him being a Muslim why even bring it up? :)

My issue personally is far less with the Obama administration and far more with those who suggested free speech should be abridged, thus my comment.

I don't expect Obama to come out and say anything about this, because I didn't particularly feel there should've been a need or purpose to say anything about the movie in the first place and there'd be even LESS of a reason to say anything about this.

It was a battle that was waged 20 years ago, anyway.

It was an aspect of the discussion that a poster wished to discuss. That is why we are here in DP to discuss various aspects of issues. It appears that has been discussed to a reasonable conclusion.

What aspect? The false claim that Obama is a Muslim? Hmm, red herring is red herring I guess.

If he is a Muslim, it must have sucked being stuck in Rev. Wright's church for that many damn years, eh?

They want to have it both ways. They want to say Obama is a Muslim and he's a Black Liberation Theologist. They want to claim he's a socialist but somehow also giving his capitalist buddies good deals.

Yeah, that's conspiracy theories for ya. After a while the only thing that matters is shifting the spooky plot around, pretending like it makes sense. The only thing missing with these darn things is some good ol' fashioned heresy accusations like the Romans, Catholics, the French, and the Protestants used to pull out...like, hmm...pissing on the crucifix (wink wink), cursing the Lord's name, engaging in homosexual orgies, and eating babies. Have to have each of those to make it stick, ya know?

The great thing about DP is that we, as posters, can raise issues and other posters who may have both the knowledge and ability to respectfully enlighten us about various facts without the need to browbeat, castigate and attempt to shame. In any case this seems to be a closed issue as a great deal of information has been communicated in a such a way as to truly inform without inflaming a situation.

Oh save the preaching for somebody who cares. The thread has absolutely nothing to do with Muslims, Obama or even Obama being a Muslim. So either she was trolling or throwing out bull**** red herrings she wasn't planning on defending. Which is it?

Your statement has the same effect as if you told me to "shut up". I do not respond to disrespectful behavior.



Enjoy the rest of you time in this thread...

You can play victim all you want when you don't want to answer with any honesty. Good thing she never came back to defend any of her claims. Considering that and Mya's thanking of your posts, birds of a feather. :shrug:
