Is this name calling? Compare to closed thread

That's entirely different. Neocons calling anyone to the left of Ann Coulter names is fair game. But calling neocons names is strictly verbotten.

 

I agree with Stev0 - we have to protect the minorities on the board, after all...

Silly Pinto. Everybody knows the 'pubs don't have to adhere to the rules they make.

That's because I spelled it correctly first. I was being "quoted".

 

I'm gonna need a link. And a gavel.

 

Reminds me of the 2004 presidential debates when Bush sneeringly referred to Massachusetts (Kerry's home state) as 'Taxachussetts', then let out his little Beavis and Butthead 'heh-heh' laugh at how clever he was. Yeah, that's how I want the POTUS to act.

I have no doubt his legions of followers ate it up in the same way I'm sure they ate up all the people at the 2004 RNC convention wearing little bandages with purple hearts on them. And yet, even with these types of very public, very juvenile displays by Bush and his most ardent supporters, many people still voted for him and he still won in 2004.

 

Hear hear.

Not Tony's fault if some dish it out and can't take it, by the way.

He and Evan do a marvelous job. Have you looked at how many members Priuschat has? 24,472 as of this afternoon. No possible way to read everything - that's what the "Report" button is FOR,

Though I do personally tend to use it for Spam, etc, not for being called a brain dead liberal, probably because it just doesn't bother me much. Actually, it tends to lend weight to my arguments in a debate when an opponent is reduced to name calling.

 

Hey, I'm missing my own party!!

All I did was connect the dots. Someone said the dems were running the dead chihuahua. I looked at the news and Hillary is in the lead, I was assuming that you were calling Hillary the dead chihuahua. :lol:

Maybe we need two FHOP's... FHOP for civilized disagreement and FHOP Unlimited where a moron can be called a moron and Hillary can be a Chihuahua.

 

Why are we concerned about public figures being called names? Aren't they fair game? Fellow participants in the forums should be polite with each other, and name calling against an individual participant should be out of bounds, but certainly not being able to bash political figures!

And that is better than what you called Newt Gingrich?

"Pot", meet "kettle".

The pay might suck, but at least the job is thankless.

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TonyPSchaefer @ Jul 26 2007, 08:05 PM) [snapback]485806[/snapback]</div>

And when you do step in, it's because you are forced by some trouble maker like Pinto Girl.

Umm.... tha'ts exactly the sort of personal attack that got us into this. Let's not continue making Tony's highly paid job harder, shall we?

We really should get down to formal login names too. Who are we to call her "Pinto Girl"?

Does she look like the pinto bean, or the horse or what? I'm sure it's an innocent name one way or the other, but maybe it's a racial slur...

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mad Hatter @ Jul , 11:47 AM)</div>

It was a joke.

Fair enough - and I'm a dumb nice person.

Oh wait - that's name calling - but I did it with a smile... :blink:

Don't hold your breath.
It's just another in a long string of unsubstantiated (link-less), liberal drivel.

Tee-Hee. Too bad neocons aren't smart enough to do a search.

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Stev0 @ Jul 28 2007, 07:16 AM) [snapback]486654[/snapback]</div>

You do realize now . . . you have just called darelldd a neocon. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yep, the shotgun approach works well for you Steve-oh!

Darelldd also didn't care to go hunt down what is nothing more than a "mommmeeeeee, he said ______" quote.

If it were something so egregious that it deserved its own thread in order to "talk about it," why haven't the moderators closed down the offending string or reprimanded FiftyOneMPG for his "dead chihuahua" remark?

This is nothing more than a continuation of the liberal game plan of try-to-bash-conservatives-at-every-conceivable-opportunity.

Would you people like some cheese with that whine?
