Journal smittyoneeach's Journal: Bollocks Beyond Belief 42

From our purported intellectual superior, who has made fun of a political figure, hammered me for "childish insults", defended his abuse of the Speaker of the House's name, and then claimed he's nothing to defend, emphasis mine:

"President Boner?" wait, had I not been assailed for "various types of childish insults" in your opening paragraph?

Boner is the closest word spell check knows to the speaker's last name. It is still far closer to his actual name than any of the long childish insults you constantly feel obliged to sling at the current presidential administration.

quite counter to the urgency of your calls for Obama to be thrown out over Benghazi (in spite of you having no evidence to support a case for such action against him for it)

There is in fact plenty of evidence for reasonable people who sanely view the facts with open eyes to conclude that grounds for impeachment exist.

That is something you take on faith, as you are clearly not of that group of people.

You put yourself in the position of defending

No. Once again, I am not defending anything.

Now, I figure that, as long as I'm paying a politician far, far too much money for him to do little more than sodomize my country's future, I should at least be allowed to call him things like "Occupy Resolute Desk", or "No-talent Rodeo Clown", or "Keystone Keynesian".
I don't even mind being chided for "various types of childish insults". This is an accurate reflection of the value of these lame little emotionally satisfying riffs.
However, what you're NOT going to see me do is defend them (why should I?), and then turn around and say I'm not defending anything. Especially when that object of the defense is a one trick pony whose sole trick is winning elections (and admittedly good trick).
This administration shall come to be viewed as almost the nadir of American History. The sad little throne sniffers wasting effort defending it are a truly sorry lot, indeed.

                    • It is a fact that I am not defending the administration

                      It is equally a fact that I have never sought extra-legal removal of any public official in general, or #OccupyResoluteDesk in particular. It is equally a fact, I'll venture, that Phil Robertson fears very little (at age 67, and as a Christian, not fretting his inevitable demise), and thus calling any utterance of his "homophobic" is probably wrong.
                      Now, I don't care either way. We can continue this sophomoric back-and-forth. While I can respect your humanity, you opinions seem a flaming raft if illiberal c

                    • I just demonstrated clearly and precisely that you are making shit up about me out of thin air. Now you skirt the matter and you try to bring up Benghazi.

                      That's fine. If you want to try to defend yourself on your quest to end the presidency early, allow me to posit a question to you again.

                      If an independent investigator were to be called up by congress (I recognize their right to do this) in the very near future, the most likely outcome - based on what we know to date - is that said investigator would

                      The closest you have offered so far to an olive branch is to just stop talking. That does not lead to an improved understanding of anything. In fact the lack of discussion is part of why our government is so utterly dysfunctional.

                      I realize that you're not terribly excited about facts there in Propagandareich, but I did literally offer an olive branch [slashdot.org] last month. You can twist it like corkscrew pasta; any less would be totally out of character for you, but there it is.

                      If you want to just let it all go, that's OK with me.

                      I can't force you to read the comments I write. I can't force you to reply to the comments I write. I can't force you to write JEs about me either. You can walk away at any time if you don't want to have a discussion.

                      If this finger-pointy business is what does it for you, then fine. I could enjoy something a little less poo-flingy, and a little more edifying. My chief point here is that, while I don't take you seriously, and don't think you're arguing in good faith the bulk of the t

                      Nobody is forcing you to read my comments to to reply to them. If you feel that is an accurate portrayal of what I write then why do you even bother replying to it? You have the freedom to ignore it.

                      No, really: if I was incapable of taking the forgiveness Christ has shown me, and transferring it to you, I wouldn't bother attempting a dialogue with you. You have, in this JE and thread, a tiny hint at what you've tried to do to me [slashdot.org]. Teasing you about the way you defended sophomoric behavior, and then claimed that you were not, is about as close as I can venture to the kind of dishonesty I've both experienced at your hand, and previously let go.

                    • the whole thing has been aught but an extended troll,

                      You really went to great lengths just to troll me? Well, I guess everyone needs a hobby. I might suggest a different one.

                      That said, the way you were flip-flopping even in your apparent admission of trolling me suggests you had more skin in the game than that, but the way you intentionally butchered my statements makes it hard to decide whether to believe anything you just said. I guess in a way that does support your claim of trolling.

                    • Look at the whole JE, now that your whole "argument clinic" shenanigans with Pudge is back in full swing.

                      You really went to great lengths just to troll me?
