Whatever dude....you are plain and simply wrong. I think you guys love to play the "They're calling us racist" martyr card a bit much.
Yes....I am saying that the average Republican voter these days is ignorant.....is uneducated.......extremist in their views and is white. I don't think I am wrong in that. Most studies show that the less educated you are the more likely you are to be Republican. Does that mean all Republicans are dumb, ignorant and uneducated.....no.....I'm not saying that.
What I AM saying is that the "CFA Appreciation day" was born and bred and promoted by right-wing media.....so would I be incorrect in the assumption that the vast majority of those turning out are those who listen to the right-wing media? Again...I don't think so.
And those who turned out by and large were there...not to express appreciation for the first Amendment...they were there because they supported CFA CEO anti-gay statements and they wanted to show their support for his extremist views.
Those extremist views and other extreme positions of the GOP have aliented many people from the party, including all but a small percentage of people of color. This was reflected in the photos were were posted on a right-wing site (not a left-leaning one trying to make them look bad).
This says nothing about "Racism" and says everything about "Extremism". So if you want to continue to perpetuate that I am calling them "racist"....go right ahead....place your martyr card, but do so knowing that you are being completely dishonest...but hey that's your first amendment right....so be it.
No, not "whatever dude." You see, each and every one of us members have a post history, and having a basic knowledge of someone else's post history allows us to, perhaps, know if someone is incredibly partisan. Even after having your snarky insinuations called out and trampled on, you don't acknowledge the way you negatively hinted at their character. If there was ever an example of bigotry, it'd be looking at some people and judging the whole based on the few, and even when it comes to the few you don't even know them. So no, don't "whatever dude" me.
And who exactly do you mean by "you guys"? Do you even know who you're conversing with? That err aside, let's look at some more. You're actually going to accuse "us guys" of playing the "They're calling us Racist" martyr card? No, that is wrong. If anything those people who dislike being called racists are responding to certain other people who routinely like to accuse others of racism. You want to fix this problem? I'd say people ought to not race-bait. Stop racebaiting and in turn there will be less instances of people being offended by fabricated bull****.
This is truly fascinating. Your snarky insinuations were just shot up, and now you're saying you think the "average Republican voter" is ignorant, uneducated, extremist in their views and, GASP, white. Do you understand how ridiculously ignorant and offensive that seems, disneydude? But then again maybe you're opening up, taking responsibility for your partisan insinuations, and acknowledging just how narrow-sighted your views of the political right truly are. In fact it's a bit refreshing. Oh, and it doesn't matter if you think you're wrong. If you're wrong you're wrong.
Oh my, you're stating that,
wait for it, most studies link a lack of education to being a Republican? What is this, the Twilight Zone, where everything is backwards and closets have dimensions to other worlds attached to them? No, that's bogus; show us those exact studies. The way you word your posts is incredibly disingenuous. You want to pretend that you don't mean "all" Republicans, yet here you are trumpeting that the average Republican voter is stupid, and that "studies" show that less intelligence = republicanism. Look, I come here to debate, instead of being mildly amused by cut-rate comedy shows. Your whole argument is a partisan farce. Not only is it a farce, but it's a fart that's offensive to the senses.
If we thought that weren't enough, you, disneydude, are also insinuating that "CFA Appreciation day" was "born and bred and promoted by right-wing media." You mean like how the violent OWS was raised by the left-wing media? :roll: The problem, dd, is you, in that your arguments are incredibly obtuse and narrow. If you don't like an action, blame it on the right-wing media. Hell, it's not like the other half of America is angry about Rahm's comments and the Chick-fil-A issue itself. NO, of course not, it must be that the evil Reich-wing news is behind this.
As history has shown you are wrong yet again, and your arguments are as convoluted as ever. No, dd, this
is about the 1st Amendment, and the right to hold an opinion without being pressured/bullied by the government and politicians. It's primarily about the right to hold an opinion without being bullied by the government. And yeah, I'm sure there are also quite a few Traditional Christians who are sick and tired of being lambasted and smeared by the hyper-partisan and narrow-sighted partisans like you. And you know what? Good for them. Have them sock it to these smarmy whiners who cry about tolerance and open-mindedness, only to turn into disgusting and malicious assholes when confronting their ideological opponents. Good for them who exercise their rights peaceably in support of Chick-fil-A.
You, dd, are not one to ever talk about extremism here. You do not know what extremism is, because, as we come full circle, your post history has repeatedly shown how extremist you yourself have been in the political colosseum. So hell no, I'm going to dismiss your pinings about extremism when you are exactly the kind of person who dabbles in the "extremism" you condemn.
