The GOP is not a trainwreck, the GOP is not a trainwreck, the GOP is not...

The GOP is not a trainwreck, the GOP is not a trainwreck, the GOP is not...

Via Salon:

The latest Steele gaffe, you might have heard by now, involves the war in Afghanistan. In an amateur video posted on YouTube, the RNC chairman calls it "a war of Obama's choosing" and "not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in." (Apparently, Steele wasn't paying attention to the news back in, say, October 2001.) He also says that history has shown that "the one thing you don't do is engage in a land war in Afghanistan."

And now Kristol has posted a plea at the Weekly Standard for Steele to step down:

Perfectly normal. Perfectly healthy. They meant to do that. Really.

Honestly: it's not like this was an off the cuff comment. This was a fairly length statement that doesn't much leeway to say it's being misinterpreted. And it's well off message.

Naturally. Ohhhh yeah. I forgot. The GOP has nothing to do with the conservative movement.

Some GOP are conservative, but not all conservatives are GOP.  Failure to understand that basic logical truth demonstrates a fundamental flaw in understanding logic.

those people are smart?

Those people?  Hmm, seems to me the illiterate literati have told me that is a racial code word phrase.  What is your definition of "those people"?

Dan, it appears your witch-hunt from our first encounter has found it's witch... staring back at you in the bathroom mirror each morning.

I told you what may pass for "common" in Chicago may not fly here. Our back and forth is one thing (my skin is thick and your personality type in not new to me) but disparaging people you fundamentally disagree with in such a rude manner, is quite another. Whatever redeeming qualities you might have, this attitude will haunt them here at JU. Unless you are just "mocking" the other commenter's here for your amusement, you probably would find more like-minded folks over on DU, the Huffington Post, or the Daily Kos that can "appreciate" your demeanor better.

Typical idiot response, mock someone at something that doesn't interest them much. LOL Do you typically show off your minimal intelligence publicly in this manner? Maybe you should try reading/researching a little yourself Dan, instead of assuming, or don't they teach that at the burger joint? Please keep "mocking" me, it is kinda fun, though I hate the thought of taking candy from a baby, even a bigoted one like you. Hey, maybe your wife ties you up and beats you, and your looking for more of the same here. Who am I to say no?

It had a nice ring Doc, but I concur with you. Brad can scold me if he feels I'm taking out the garbage unfairly.

That is a good way to show off your maturity and intellectual superiority, and it also convinces people that you must be right and they must be wrong. And it most certainly does not make you seem sad and pathetic.

Sneaky attempt to make everyone leave? No fooling you, Sherlock LOL. Maybe I should be flattered at the perceived influence you give away easily to me. No, more like a suggestion where to find people with similar views, maybe share his more inflammatory ideas on the Tea Party and non-urban folk he's so fond of, but it's hardly a request for him to leave JU, the reality is quite the opposite. Unlike yourself, who has been here awhile, their is still a chance he can add something insightful, the printer link was good. Anyway, it would be sad indeed if you were the only screwed up liberal here (as opposed to a rational one, and they are here) commenting. Gawd knows we need more anal-retentive's to critique spelling, spew nonsensical short paragraphs, and rudely chime in on the only portion of a comment, out of a series of comments, that suits them.

You say "another" like I've asked someone to leave in the past (when I haven't even asked this one). What's with all the personal deception (lying is probably more appropriate, but I'll be nice) that the vocal far left seem to overuse here on JU? It doesn't help you make a point. But hey, thanks a bunch for adding nothing to the conversation.

BTW Do you kiss... well... anybody with that mouth? Your class precedes you once again. Nice.

Come on that should be an easy one for you to figure out, since you seem to operate quite well with one thumb in your mouth and the other up your butt.

Well, in the real world (i.e. outside of the DNC talking points) it is called debate.  And is a requirement for anyone discussing or debating issues (merely regurgitating talking points is neither).  But JU has no rules against regurgitating talking points.  As Humbordt indicated, it does not indicate a level of intelligence as even monkeys can do it.

This guy knows nothing and enjoys proving it on a daily basis. You'll have a better idea of what Brad "is" with comments like that, otherwise your stinging retort just has me all in pieces. X( :rofl:

Come on, guys....this is supposed to be a debate/blog discussion/whatever.

When it devolves into - "my eloquence/intelligence/dad is bigger than yours" then one of you has lost [the debate/plot/credibility].

There are more mediators on JoeUser than [just] Brad, but generally people are given free rein here to voice opinions/attitudes.

However, WHEN one User flames another for self-aggrandizement/amusement it's little more than trolling and will lead to censure.

Attack the topic, not the person....;)
