The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

[Paul Kemp]

Posted in a thread about a concession speech in 2016:

What's the context here? Did this really happen or is this a hypothetical?

Yea, I'll take that one. I misread the original post (and for some reason thought they were talking about 2012 instead of 2016) and wasn't thinking. I thought that the post was supposed to be what happened to Romney after his concession speech. I'm an idiot.

[Paul Kemp]

Anyway...

Is there Booker hate too? How could anyone dislike that man? He's a good mayor and an even better person. I hope he can succeed Lautenberg in 2016. I'd vote for him above any Republican, because I deeply admire him and believe this country would benefit from having him on the national stage.

He's a black version of Evan Bayh. Party backstabbers, we can't have 'em. Kick him out!

On why there was no left wing Tea Party:

Because the right-wing media and the Bush regime suppressed it.

[Franzl]

Obama wants to be on Mount Rushmore. He'll do whatever it takes to look like a great leader, even if it means working with Romney over some non-issue.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

My incredible wit and snappy comebacks have absolutely owned everyone here.

No wonder you regret opening this stupid thread.

I would too if I were you, having to match wits with me.

BRTD, it's becoming fairly clear that Winfield is mostly trolling. Hell, I've always suspected he's a liberal.

Yes, but because she was more centrist than Obama.  Obama far and away is just not a good fit for the region politically--he's WAY too liberal.  Not that Hillary Clinton's not pretty far-left herself, but just not as much as Obama.  So, although she probably wouldn't have done a whole lot better, she would have performed better than he did.

If Hillary had won the nomination, he (and the rest of the right) would be saying that about Obama.

Hopefully they don't exist.

I don't like the thought of my ghostly relatives being around when I watch porn or masturbate for example.

And if they exist, hopefully they have other stuff to do in the meantime.

There's nothing absurd, ignorant, or bad about that. Should be in the Goldmine.

Oh, so she's finally come to terms with her lesbianism?

BRTD is widely known for taking everything literally.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

This is just plain absurd:

Why do people still have the false idea that Oklahoma is a hellhole?  It is a beautiful state.   It is not all flat, but nobody thinks of the Eastern Mountains.  If people would actually take the time to visit Oklahoma, they would change their minds very quickly.  Also, contrary to popular opinion, Oklahoma is just as much a part of this country as New York, California, Florida, or other states and deserves the same respect.

[minionofmidas]

I thought those places were outside real America and could go hang?

Then again, Oklahoma is no more part of Real America than is Alaska, I guess.

[politicus]

Romney can bring meaning to his life and fix his obvious flaws through Jesus Christ. Maybe this defeat will cause him to reexamine things and bring him to Christ, as the power of Christ can change even someone like him.

Thats only absurd if you are an atheist or consider Romney to be a good Christian. So thats basically a matter of opinion.   

[minionofmidas]

Or if you are a member of any other but a Christian faith.

Or if you are aware that Mormons, whether you consider them Christians or not, certainly worship Jesus as Christ.

Or if you are just not of the opinion that Christians ought to go out of their way to be annoying in order to "proselytize", especially not (or just: at least not) among minorities with a long historical memories of persecution by Christians.

Or if you're aware that Mitt Romney won't notice this ridiculous attempt at converting him.


Or... I don't think there are any non-absurd people left by this point, so I won't seek to prolong the list any further.

[politicus]

Or if you are a member of any other but a Christian faith. Nah, most religious people dont consider each others belive systems absurd.

Or if you are aware that Mormons, whether you consider them Christians or not, certainly worship Jesus as Christ. That is beside the point. The issue is whether he is a good Christian, not if he is a Christian

Or if you are just not of the opinion that Christians ought to go out of their way to be annoying in order to "proselytize", especially not (or just: at least not) among minorities with a long historical memories of persecution by Christians.
The statement said nothing about a conversion, just finding God, which could happen within the framework of the Mormon faith. But anyway this is based on your opinion, not logic, hence not absurd ].

Or if you're aware that Mitt Romney won't notice this ridiculous attempt at converting him.
You can pray for other people without them hearing it, thats actually the normal way to pray. Again this is only absurd if you dont believe in God.

Okay, I'll add another one: Or if you're not aware of the context and are therefore misunderstanding what Red is trying to convey here.

My patience is exhausted. Unless Obama makes an offer that is serious (the Pubs at least made a serious offer...

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Context:

Pathetic victim of Stockholm syndrome.

That really is absurd.

My only explanation is that Torie was under the influence of something....

[Yelnoc]

Click for context.

Well, for many of the reasons stated by others, I would have opposed it. With the removal of a couple sections, though, I would be an enthusiastic supporter.

You accidentally put that here instead of the Goldmine.

America was founded on the right to refuse to serve black people at your diner.

This quote automatically makes you a massive HP.  It may not be "we reserve the right to refuse service to robots and space bikers", but it's WAY worse.  I know you're being sarcastic, but you're completely wrong on this one.  Even one of my PoliSci professors said that the "state's rights" argument was irrelevant and was essentially calling for a return to the Articles of Confederation.
