Comments on Addendum: Please Do Not Vote For Cynthia McKinney

Iowa City is populated exclusively by retards.

This is what they understand: A vote for McCain in 2008 is a vote for Hillary in 2012.

No, a vote for McCain is a vote for an anti-choice anti-middle-class pro-Hundred-Years_Triple-War US Supreme Court, @2.

Has anyone explained to these Hilluddites that if their efforts have the intended effect of contributing to a Democrat loss in the general election, that Senator Clinton will become a political pariah of truly *cosmic* proportions?...

And it will have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not she condones their pre-school behavior... (at least, openly... *wink, wink*)

All the cool kids emphasize their IMPORTANT POINTS with bold.

We will re-defeat nObama in November!!

"often emphasizing important POINTS with CAPS TO MAKE SURE you can read them."

How is this any different than the incessant bolding of random words or phrases in Slog posts by contributors?

Just sayin'.

We will re-defeat nObama in November!!

How many people belong to this group? Two?

@6 - no we don't, elenchos.

@7 and @9 - So, make the rest of the country suffer because you didn't get your way? How very mature.

Yes, Mr. Ryan S. Jackson. I hear and I obey. I will now NOT vote for Ms. Cynthia McKinney. Please advise if any updates.

P.S. Thank you for information indicating that at least 1e-7% of Americans are stoopid and post things on the internets.

Splitting, whereby people with very primitive defenses can only think and act in simplistic "for us or against us" polarities, is a frequent feature of borderline personality disorder. About a third of the clients in mental health clinics have this Axis 2 disorder. Sufferers of this disorder tend to have many interpersonal difficulties because to these borderline individuals, people they meet are all good until they reveal themselves to have a flaw. Then the people are perceived as all bad. Having had this disillusionment, people with this disorder often, hold a grudge and never really forgive. by the same token these people cannot tolerate criticism, because if the criticism is true then they feel they must be all bad as well.

I wonder what percentage of bloggers and self styled political activists have this disorder.

15. I would say 95 percent of Internet users exhibit these traits.

@13,

Try harder.

Thanks.

Regarding your previous post on Cynthia McKinney, it's not a bad start, Ryan, if your goal is to work for Fox news.

You have to always push the masses further to the right by selecting the most progressive political figures and making them appear crazy. Carefully select images and soundbites that plant this message in the minds of the viewers. Make sure to grossly exaggerate and place out of context anything that supports your view.

For instance, when McKinney tried to sidestep a metal detector (as congress is legally allowed to do) and is stopped and felt up by a police officer, make it sound like she "punches people who get in her way".

When she questions an official conspiracy story and calls for a more thorough investigation of 9/11, just say she thinks "you'll find Dick Cheney at the bottom of 9/11".

When she makes the personal observation "Gore's 'Negro Tolerance Level' has never been too high." in response to a lawsuit filed on behalf of 250 black Secret Service Agents who alleged that they have been systematically discriminated against and a report that a quota was placed on the number of black Secret Service officers who would protect Vice President Gore, just say she "believes that Al Gore has a deep-seated hatred for the black race."

If you ever consider becoming a real journalist you might consider actually reading the sources of rumors you post about and perhaps expanding your sources beyond mainstream corporate American media such as the NYT and "Slate". Perhaps balance it out with foreign and independant sources for different points of views which can help you be a little more objective and intelligent in your own reporting.

@17:
Eat shit for breakfast.

Too late for that advice, #18.

@18 and 19
Why? Obviously, you both have been doing that for awhile and it just seems to come back out:)
