Why do some people on here call benconstine benconstantine?

Either they don't read it closely, or are trying to be funny.  It's pretty pathetic, in the latter case.

He did once argue that the reason the state of Israel is legitimate is because God promised the land. So yeah, starting to sound theocratic. (Worth noting, this is the exact same argument used by Hamas.)

That doesn't sound like me.  Are you sure I said it?

This is not the homeland of the Jews, they invaded, forced out and killed the native population:
see here.

After 3,000 years, it becomes our homeland.  And besides, G-d promised it to us.

Okay.  I've never made it since, and like I said, I don't like that argument.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

How many lines of argument haven't you subsequently backed away from?

I'm thinking of the 2000 recount thing....this thread is awfully similar

Sort of, except that:

1.  I've only made that argument once.
2.  I backed off of it pretty quickly, saying I disliked it.

Plus, I believe I've since said that it is not a good argument, and I think I may have criticized Josh for using it.

I think I typed his name wrong once on a fantasyland ballot.  It was an inadvertant misreading of the screen name.  You glance at a long smushed up word too quick and your brain interprets it differently.  I highly doubt anyone's stupid (or clever) enough to mistype it as a joke.

Supersoulty did the same thing in a speech once.
