bob is a racist

[thegreekdog]

Go to thedailyshow.com and watch the coverage of the Democratic Party National Convention. There is a segment where the reporters ask people at the DNC about tolerance and show how the people at the DNC aren't actually tolerant. I believe the words "racists" and "rednecks" are used frequently.

Yeh but apparently (according to PS et al) there are people at these conventions who also sport "once you go black youll never go back; vote obama" badges NOT as a joke (like actually think a cock joke is a valid rationale to support a presidential candidacy). So... well you know... end of the intelligence probability distribution and all that.

Now, that's only a small group of people and certainly the more intelligent Democrats would acknowledge that Republicans aren't racist just because they disagree with President Obama, but this video is absolutely not a response to a made-up issue.

No its not a made up issue; but on the flipside neither is a higher density of racist individuals on the republican side either*. To me aiming to create one unfair genrealisation in response to another unfair genralisation is like my mum always used to say about two wrongs and something about whites, wait i mean a right**.

* no I dont have any evidence to support this claim, id look for some but then realised its actually pointless since any evidence I do find from a simple google search is likely to be sourced from main stream US media and therefore will be about as neutral and informative as TPDS posts (sorry dave but it IS a good analogy). Therefore I am going to rationalise my point with a logical fallacy stating the same group of people who once upon a time were opposed to interracial marriage are likely to contain more racist individuals than the other side of the proverbial fence.

** poor attempt at humor, apologies.

Regarding your semi-parantheticals - Just as we're sure there are racists in the Republican party, I think we can also be sure there are racists in the Democrat party. I have no idea whether one party has a "higher density" than the other because I doubt there are polls that ask "are you a racist."

But, let's examine some more why you think there are more racists in the Republican party. Why do you think that if you don't have any evidence?

[Lootifer]

I retract my point. Evidence was supplied to the contrary

That and I kind of mistakenly equate conservatives with republicans, which im quickly learning is a pretty weak argument. As such my point doesnt have a lot of relevance since the clip is aimed at dem/gop debate rather than a lib/con debate.

I found the video entertaining

[Woodruff]

How many times has Natty called people a racist just for criticizing Obama? How about Juan Bottom, Pimpdave, Symmetry, and Woodruff? ......exactly

Woodruff? I'm curious Phatscotty...how many times has Woodruff called anyone a racist just for criticizing Obama? Is this just another example where I call you out on your bullshit and you pretend it never happened or will you actually pull your balls out of your purse for a change?

You're posting, and yet...

So Phatscotty, got this data yet?

Let me guess, Phatscotty...you're busily gathering all of this data, so that you can present it to us in one fell and completely devastating swoop, right? And so we should be expecting this data any minute now, right?

Because I can't imagine why else you haven't responded to it...

I think I understand now...you're simply waiting for an appropriate amount of time to pass before springing this information on us, in a whirlwind attack of such utter devastation that our claims of not having said such things all fall to dust! That must be it. Well Phatscotty, the time is now! Hie thee to the data!

Just can't substantiate your bullshit claims, eh Phatscotty? And not man enough to admit it, either.

Here it's been fully 11 days, and no quotes...still can't find them, Phatscotty?

I'm still puzzled as to how many times I've called someone a racist just for criticising Obama. I count zero, but Scotty seems to think that it's possibly-

a) too many times for him to count, assuming he can count above zero.
b) someone else's job to count for him.

I'm going for the c) explanation for his comments- that he's just slinging mud and hoping something will stick to his cheap rhetoric.

After all, it might be fun if I adopted his tactics, after all, how many times has Phatscotty posted elaborate denials of the Holocaust?

Phatscotty, since you're posting again now, perhaps you could respond to this.

[Symmetry]

The dodge king avoids, dude.

[Woodruff]

The dodge king avoids, dude.

He can't even claim I'm foed (again), since he's responding to me elsewhere.

It's kind of funny that he considers foeing a threat. Last time he did that routine on me, he said he'd put me back on foe. Which was odd, as

1) I had no idea I'd ever been on his foe list in the first place,

2) I didn't particularly care

3) He carried on reading my posts anyway

The best part is that Scotty will occasionally tell me that he's considering removing me from his foe list as if he's doing me a favour.

Phatscotty, I see that you're reading my posts again, so could you respond to this and finally support your statement? Thanks!

[Neoteny]

I was anti-foeing for a while, and then I was like, "maybe I'll give it a try." It actually made me more likely to read the post, and I had to do extra work to do it, so I went back to my original stance.

That data must be tricky to track down...

Depends on who it is. Some foes, I have given 1,000,000 chances, and I really don't have any interest in those trolls anymore. Pretending to clean up their language and temporarily giving up derailing and trolling doesn't work either.

Other foes, just need a little break...

The burden of proof lies with you here. I cant recall Natty ever calling anyone racist because they oppose Obama; and Im sure I would have seen it seeing as Obama isnt exactly mr popular on these boards.

Gosh, it only took you a freaking month to find three quotes that don't show what you claim they would show? Hell, the first one is the only one that even has a hint of being on the subject. The other two aren't even relevant. That's your evidence?

I don't know... speaking as an outside observer who really doesn't have an emotional investment in this debate, I'd say the second one in the group is pretty spot-on.
