As for my ego and self-esteem, I don't know how you can comment on that because you don't know me.

To be honest, he's not really qualified to comment on anything. Everything he writes is dripping with ignorance, unsubstantiated slurs and vitriol. I don't mind people disagreeing with me if they present justification or reasonable arguments. Hell, even Glenn tries to bolster his drivel with some kind of corroborative evidence. But "Ali G" is just a vacuous little troll, and a nasty, cretinous one at that. And he doesn't have the guts to debate with people who are his intellectual superiors (ie about 99% of this forum) - he just puts them on ignore. I've yet to see him make a single positive contribution to this community.

I dont care about insult slinging really, I dont mind who posts what, we are all adults here....but your style and terminology and aligs are actually fairly similiar.

distancing yourself from him seems a little rich.

I'm not blaming the minoritys for all the problems. just the ones that dropped the the clintons the minute a man with dark skin like theirs showed up.

Hillary Clinton has no divine right to votes from black people. And I think it's borderline racist of you to accuse black people of backing Obama just because he's black, and suggesting that they don't bother to investigate the issues, like those smart white people do.

I'd be the first to admit I'm a little snarky at times. The difference is, the things I write have substance. They're not just a string of lies, smears and insults - I actually have arguments with evidence.

The other major difference is that I don't pussy out of debating people by putting them on ignore. That sort of intellectual cowardice is shameful.

Off topic.

I am not into car racing. But we have a major car race here tomorow.
At Bathurst in country NSW up and down a "mountain" (hill).

Point is, in-car cameras were developed first here at this race and there is always
some spectacular coverage from inside the cars going around the circuit.

Bathurst 1000, NSW Australia all day Sunday our time.

I gladly put all commie fascist on ignore on this board. No need to drag myself down to their inane levels. One more thing. Another reason the stock markets are going down is that many people are scared to death of a Marxist named Obama as president who's gonna raise taxes the good ole fashioned socialist way. I guess his terrorist buddy Bill Ayers who helped Odumbo launch his career is gonna be gloating.

[alig]

okay, ignoramus:

Sorry, but I stopped after I read that first line because I couldn't be bothered reading more obscenely biased, offensive pap.

You really must be obsessed.

As for my ego and self-esteem, I don't know how you can comment on that because you don't know me. Although, in my opinion, I don't think it is any bigger than anyone elses.

Yes, I am obsessed with the truth.

You just used the term "commie fascist", apparently without irony, and you're accusing other people of inanity?

The reason we're all on ignore is because you're too gutless to debate with people who disagree with you. We all know that you read our posts anyway - you just lack the capacity to respond in an intelligent manner.

Another reason the stock markets are going down is that many people are scared to death of a Marxist named Obama as president who's gonna raise taxes the good ole fashioned socialist way.

The "good ole fashioned socialist way" of raising taxes being, presumably, to only actually raise them for the richest 1%, right?

I guess his terrorist buddy Bill Ayers who helped Odumbo launch his career is gonna be gloating.

Bill Ayers is a professor in education at the University of Illinois. Obama worked on education reform in Illinois. How on earth do you think it would be possible for these two people to not have any kind of association? What a strange, warped little world you inhabit.

Looks like McCain himself doesn't even agree with the kind of criticism being levelled at Obama by the anti-intellectuals in this thread:

Fair play to McCain for coming out and putting these morons in their place, but it's going to be rather embarrassing for them to get the smackdown from Papa Bear

From today's Sunday Times (UK):

McCain tussles with Palin over whipping up a mob mentality

With his electoral prospects fading by the day, Senator John McCain has fallen out with his vice-presidential running mate about the direction of his White House campaign.

McCain has become alarmed about the fury unleashed by Sarah Palin, the moose-hunting “pitbull in lipstick”, against Senator Barack Obama. Cries of “terrorist” and “kill him” have accompanied the tirades by the governor of Alaska against the Democratic nominee at Republican rallies.

...

McCain believes the attacks have spun out of control. At a rally in Lakeville, Minnesota, the Arizona senator became visibly angry when he was booed for calling Obama “a decent person”. He took the microphone from an elderly woman who said she disliked Obama because he was “Arab”, saying, “No ma’am, no ma’am”.

When another questioner demanded that he tell the truth about Obama, he said: “I want everybody to be respectful and let’s be sure we are.”

do you actually believe that McCain thinks Obama would be a good president?.nah, McCain is simply savy enough to know when there is a camera on him and one of his audiences says something that sounds like a slander the left media will pounce on that,so,he has to correct that person so he draws a distinction between him and them so as not to appear racist in my PC country. McCain is COUNTING on people like them.

but most likely what is McCains real feelings.....I'm fairly certain he doesnt trust Obama's very shady background/religious affiliation.

[gregf]

An amazing article Dipso-san.
What insights.
Thank you for the link.
I recommend it to others.

I feel a little sorry for McCain.
He is the last decent, old fashioned American conservative.
He must be just realising, the the fascists have taken over the party.

And his defeat will be a watershed of US political history, that after
him, appealing to the ugly mob will be the norm for the Republicans.
Perhaps ?

[glennjridge]

its understandable there is a wave calling it for Obama right now, but McCain is most likely going to win.

not that I care,neither McCain or Obama inspire in me any excitement,and if Obama is in fact elected he's not going to usher in the apocalypse, I will totally feel just as proud to be an american if Obama were to be president,maybe even more so for shallow reasons.

[alig]

McCain's problem is that he thinks he can win this election by being moderate and bipartisan. That way he thinks he can garner the votes of the "undecided." He's just wrong. What he doesn't realise is that Obama's camp and his socialist cronies have been hurling all sorts of abuse on him, Pain and Bush. They don't give a damn about bipartisanship. Democrats only call for "bipartisanship" when they try to stifle any critique towards them. Therefore, McCain has been refraining from being outspoken. He should realise that those alleged "undecided" are gonna vote for Obama despite his blatant partisanship and lies and smears. So are they really "undecided" if they're gonna vote for the non-moderate Obama?
Believe me, if Obama gets elected, the USA are gonna be called the USSA. All the socialists and commies and other assorted fascists around the globe are gonna be gloating. There goes the economy, there goes freedom of speech, there goesnational security. And yet once more, the world will have fallen for a slick demagogue, i.e. an empty suit with a resume thinner than a teenager's with a bloated ego and insatiable hunger for power.

you arent making sense.....unless you are making some weird point that people who run these multiple banks give loans to hundreds of thousands of people with high risk bad credit to....uh... purposely run themelves into the ground and collapse for ....what....in the scheme of things is peanuts for a golden parachute?which they arent even sure they will get(golden parachutes can and are getting blocked).

thats a little rich to believe when you think of all the banks involved. what, they all just happen to be so generous with giving to high risk citizens?

Please tell me you don't believe this woeful shit.

Glenn, banks lend to high-risk customers because there's money to be made. Yes, they accept the increased risks associated with subprime lending, but they offset these risks by charging higher interest rates, and by bundling up these liabilities into packages and selling them on. It's this selling on of subprime mortgages which was responsible for dragging so many companies into the crisis in the first place.

Please, please, if you won't listen to me, go and speak with someone else who has at least a basic financial knowledge. They'll tell you exactly what I just told you. Though how you've managed to make it this far without understanding as basic a concept as this in the first place is utterly beyond me.

And I challenge you to provide any evidence whatsoever that the laws on lending were relaxed as a result of campaigning by ethnic minorities.

Danny C, you are superbly correct there. Thank you.

[glennjridge]

we already went there .....you wont adress them as you would have to fall back on standard deschanel debate template of blaming any critism of minoritys as racism.

ACORN the minority orginzation has now been busted for an amazing amount of voting fraud and their bank intimadation has been documented.their offices across the US are now being examined.its whats happening.you live in america, you have the news you know this.

article in the newspaper today, a 7 year old.....a 7 year old was one of the registered voters ACORN sent in. not even going into them sending in a vote named as jimmy johns .....the sandwhich chain shop

and the nation of Islam leader farrakhan reffered to Obama as a messiah,that is when he's not condeming jews and homosexuals and the white devil.

but Obama is a christian apperently and fundi enough that like me he believes marriage is between a man and a woman and says he will do what it takes to get bin laden in pakistan....... I can see why you favor him deschanel.sure your not republican?

[Deschanel]

I'm not blaming the minoritys for all the problems. just the ones that dropped the the clintons the minute a man with dark skin like theirs showed up.meanwhile whites cross lines and vote for a black man based on examining issues.

but hey,Obama isnt that far liberal for my opinion. he thinks marriage is between a man and a woman, he said he will do what he has to to get bin laden and terrorists...gee I can see why you prefer him over Mcain.

Seriously, you're an embarassment, that your big mouth is such a presence at PSB Community, and that almost everything you have to say is either FOX talking points or something racist or homphobic. You twist things into the most vile pretzels of logic, and I swear I think you're drunk when you post here. You're the poster-boy for why Americans are currently despised, your song-and -dance confirming their worst prejudices. And a big-mouth about it, too.

"People ditched the Clintons once some black guy showed up. The blacks caused this financial crisis. And I hate the idea of marriage equality for gay people."

Your horrible prejudices, that you display all the damn time- seriously, how do you live with such seething constant resentment, Glenn? I guess if you snap, the authorities will have a full account of your diffused free-form hostility against minorities, here.


God willing, Obama will win and we can begin to heal and clean up the horrible wreckage of the last 8 years. People like Glenn need to be put back in their place, firmly. His sort have had free reign too long, and the body count, human misery, and trashing of America's former good name in the world is unbearable to think about.
