Open your history books class, flip past all the "whitey is bad" BS, and get to the parts where different peoples throughout history have been disarmed, then slaughtered. Then remind me again just how smart you are...

      <![CDATA[@ 173, two quick things. First, it's rude to get in the middle of a conversation to which you weren't a party to begin with. Second, I stopped reading as soon as I saw "Saulinsky," which I quickly realized was your impaired way of saying "Saul Alinsky." The only people who go on blogs bringing up accusations of that are well trained right wing blog bots, today's equivalent of the sheep from "Animal Farm." If you were bleating that in my presence I'd have a hard time ignoring you, but given that this is a blog, I can just skip right past your stuff and ignore it, free from any worry that I might have missed something stimulating or otherwise worth reading.<br />
<br />
Have fun trolling Slog. You'll eventually either wear out and leave us alone, or post something stupid that gets your account closed. Until then, I'll skip past your handle every time I see it.

      <![CDATA[@ 174, it is ALWAYS alright to call out dishonest people for the shit stained motherfuckers that the are. It is NEVER wrong to do so.<br />
<br />
You have chosen to be regarded as such. This is because you ignored what I said and projected something I did NOT say, in order to make a response that you WANTED to say. You wanted to make me a hardcore gun control freak (I'm not - I don't think Dan is on the right path at all), so you decided that to put words into my mouth so I could fit the role you wanted me to play.<br />
<br />
Well, fuck you. Fuck you for being a dishonest little shit. Fuck you for resisting my righteous judgment of your disingenuous bullshit. Fuck you for disguising your true colors. 5280 may be hated by many on Slog, but I think he's awesome for being exactly who he is and not fucking around pretending to be something he is not. Also, he's a fine drinking companion. God only knows how insufferable you must be in person.<br />
<br />
And, hey, f.u.? I suspect you're going to jump in because you just can't help yourself. I wonder now if "randoma" isn't your sock puppet, given the personal way you took offense to my remarks addressed to that handle, and the way "randoma" is happy to let you fight "his" battles, AND the fact that "randoma" just pulled your copy and paste stunt. That's pathetic.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm done with "randoma," as well as this thread. (If I don't read it, did you ever write it?)

      <![CDATA[@105: You praise the original Federalists, who you call "[t]rue liberal[s]" like yourself, and then rail against the "statists" who you say stole the appellation. Federalist and statist mean nearly the same thing in practice. Hello?<br />
@149: Actually, gametes (egg and sperm) do contain the entire human genome (apart from some differences between X and Y). Their DNA differs from that of somatic cells in that it is haploid rather than diploid. I'm actually trained in biology; I know these things.<br />
And as for your assertion that egg or sperm alone cannot create viable progeny, I advise you to look up "parthenogenesis". We humans don't do it, but many other animals do.<br />

If you want evidence backing up the claims that others have made, feel free to ask me. I am a scientist; evidence is my stock-in-trade. And I don't say this lightly, but I feel confident that I am a smarter and wiser man than you.

And the debate methods that you describe @173 as being such a waste are all you've been employing this entire thread. Though to be fair, you've also been displaying a plethora of other juvenile behaviors and debate tactics too. This illustrates <i>yet another way</i> in which you are revealing yourself to be a hypocrite.

    Your methods are classic Saulinsky. Saw a train load full of such types at the U. Arrogant, rude, focused on personalizing the debate in order to detract from addressing concrete issues. If you disagree with or dislike the points presented you attack the person, not the issue. You make sweeping claims, and then announce them as incontrovertable fact, not subject to debate. What a waste. So, calling a fascist pig a fascist pig may be equally rude and arrogant, however, I invite anyone with the time, energy and interest to evaluate Mr. Fascist Pigs remarks throughout this thread with an eye to objectivly demonstrating any errors I might of made with respect to my perspective on Mr. Fascist Pig. BTW, not interested in any reply Mr Fascist Pig may make as the standard of debate he have set is not worthy of further personal attention.
