Nope, again, your abilities at accurate assessment are called into question. I called what you said not to be a touche' but rather to be a douche'... just a play on words...as a debater you should be a little more aware... and certainly should not be so overly sensitive as to take such personally...yanno? If not, probably a good time to learn if you are not too old a dog to learn the new trick or two.
And please, perhaps you are in a position to tell your children, if you have them, what to do, but refrain from that type silliness with me...
You have yet to assert, much less prove, anything of a particularly hypocritical nature with regards to Dinesh... maybe you could put a little effort into it, show a bit of evidence of what you portend is the truth rather that expecting us to just take an unsubstantiated opinion, one called already properly called into question, about him...eh?
Best of luck with all that.:2wave:

 There should be no further responses to that. The thread topic is: Dinesh D’Souza Is Charged With Using Straw Donors to Give to a CampaignNot Benghazi or the 2012 election, nor other posters. Return to the topic and only the topic. |
Oh, I am quite sure we could all be found as hypocrites in some way or another... we are all human and have failings. However, conservatives when they fall to temptation seem to take responsibility and show a bit of contriteness that most liberals don't. Take for instance the almost worshiped John Kennedy... how many affairs did this guy have? And did he step down from his position, or any of his positions? How about Bill Clinton, still vaunted as the high muckety-muck of the left... he was using his positions of power to try to force himself on women, has had many affairs and is even accused, credibly of rape and yet, and yet, do the feminist groups come down hard on him? Nooooo...so you want to talk hypocrisy? How about Ted Kennedy, drives a young lady, not his wife, off a bridge and leaves her to drown...does he report it, does he make sure he gets help, nope. How is he regarded by the left, rock star hero status...
As you are well aware, calling something BS is not debate, it is just a lazy opinion without substance... thanks for confirming for me that I am right through your positioning on the topic, yet wasting my time once again.
That debate was far better than we generally see here, with all three actually having points and establishing them with previously considered thoughts plainly showing their scaffolding ... I did not find it to be the apex of debate by any of the participants, but all three at their very worst are better than most. The fact of the matter is that Hitchens didn't use D'Souza as a pinata as another poster stated erroneously here... and while Hitchens was generally the better overall speaker and debater in whichever venue he attended, I have never seen him just absolutely vanquish DD in any engagement that I have watched.
Memory problems? I already said in at least two posts...and have explained thoroughly that I agree with the essence of what DD is saying. As per the Wikipedia article you presented as your sole reference to DD's views on the subject, DD in his book, The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and its Responsibility for 9/11, "argues that the American cultural left was in large part responsible for the Muslim anger that led to the September 11 attacks." Your facile attempt to get me to take your own silly, as well as false, view of his view was a middle school like effort as a debate tactic. Please show me where he said, as you state he says, that "Americans caused 9/11".
It's Obama's fault that he's being accused of wrongdoing.
Sometimes you can't judge a book by looking at its cover.
And you do sometimes need to read for yourself what someone has said rather than to rely on third-hand one-liners.
Then, veering into the realm of my own little fantasies, not having such visceral hatred for strangers is a great start to a better world. The partisans on all sides who suffer from schadenfreude are sick-making.
