I'm not gonna re-read it, but I believe this thread is the explanation/start.

Clod has it right...don't know what actual thread it started in. mtp hit a thread that started shortly after...but not where it started. I remember Ali asking "why would it fill in the word haggis?" and it all just kind of fell into place.

I can't find that link, but I love that haggis has lasted.

Long Live Haggis!

I have a picture of haggis around here somewhere...my husband ordered it at a Scottish restaurant we have in Fort Collins. It was actually quite good.

I agree. They left off a lot of shit that fuckers trying to slide by us. I guess they ran out of space.

Roger Ebert comments on "The anger of the festering fringe".

Quote:

Obama is a Muslim. Obama was born in Kenya. Obama was a terrorist. Obama will destroy Medicare. Obama will kill your grandmother. Obama is a racist. Obama wants atheism taught in the schools. Obama wants us to pay for the health care of illegal immigrants.

These beliefs are held by various segments of our population. They are absurd. Any intelligent person can see they are absurd. It is not my purpose here to debate them, because such debates are futile. With the zealous True Believers there is no debating. They feed upon loops within loops of paranoid surmises, inventions which are passed along as fact.

Ah, there's the rub...

lol - and there are just as many of those on the "other side" who believe he is the virtual messiah who will heal all trouble in our world. They are all equally nuts. Having a rational conversation with either group is pointless.

Shawnee123 · 10-08-2009, 10:39 AM

I think it's your side who says the "other" side has deemed him a messiah. If you say you like the guy, and hope this works out for the best of our country, you get "YOU ARE a nutty crazy person who thinks he's the second coming blah blah blah..."

Agreed. And that's a real problem. These posts of "why hasn't he fixed all the problems of the world in nine months" are ridiculous.

And counterproductive. Of course, that means nothing when weighed against the possibility of a smug "I told you so."

Don't let the extremists get you down Shaw. They simply get the most attention because they increase ratings.
There are so many more people who are actually rational and simply have differing ideas or philosophies.

Shawnee123 · 10-08-2009, 11:20 AM

Heh, I don't let them get me down. I just look at them, say 'pffft what a stupid dumbass', and go about my business.

I've never been under the delusion that I wasn't always surrounded by a lot of morons.
