Comments on The Lying Game

Single most coherent thing Chuck has ever written.

If “less than honest” means something, then “more than honest” must also mean something.

This is absolutely not true. "Less than 100% of the time." "Less than complete." Et cetera. I agree that McCain is lying about Obama, but you don't have to play word games to emphasize that honesty is not a question of degrees.

We have yet to dispute any claim from the Obama campaign about Palin

That is so awesome. I hope to gosh this means something to Americans.

I'm not holding my breath...

The fucking cunt has lied about saying "no thanks" to the Bridge To Nowhere 27 times so far. No one seems to be calling her on it. WHYWHYWHY???

It sucks when you agree with someone's point, but they come across as such a complete moron that it's a little embarrassing to be on the same side.

"If 'less than honest' means something, then 'more than honest' must also mean something."

I mean, is that possibly the stupidest thing ever printed in The Stranger (and that's saying something!)? I guess that if "less than certain" means something, then "more than certain" must mean something too, right? How about "less than perfect" implying "more than perfect"? Can we turn it around and say that because "temperatures greater than absolute zero" exist, therefore "temperatures less than absolute zero must exist"?

Hey, Charles, I get it that you're more of a word assembler than thinker, but come on. Wax that poetic brain a bit on the concepts of absolutes versus partials; the possibility of falling short of an absolute does not imply the possibility of exceeding the absolute.

Or just stop writing crap that even you don't understand, even if it is in a good cause.

Fnarf - ixnay on the untcay. The last thing we need is tasteless sexist slurs to distract from the actual issues. Call her a lying sack of shit, but we don't need the C-word around here, thanks.

cunty cunt cunt. cunny. cunnilingus.

the word is 2000 year old latin. let's get the fuck over it.

Aside from splitting a few semantical hairs - I actually agree with Chaz on this one.

Which for me, is saying quite a lot.

Kudos to you, sir.

I thought someone might object to cunt, but my usual "colostomy bag" was taken, by her running mate. I think cunt is a great word, and completely applicable in the circumstances. It's not sexism, mate; it's just hatred, OK?

I'm with Fnarf on this one. She is a cunt. A royal fucking cunt. We should all be screaming it from the rooftops. The people that object weren't going to vote for Obama anyway.

Charles, I finally saw Zoo and I just wanted to say it was a beautifully told story. Keep it up!

All of the Slog election coverage has convinced me that Charles Mudede is not a pretentious, self-indulgent idiot, but is in fact capable of intelligent and insightful posts on occasion.
