Where's the choice for All of the Above?

 

Your = the possessive of you, as in, "Your name is Tom, right?" or "What is your name?"

 

You're = a contraction of YOU + ARE as in, "You are right" --> "You're right."

I was looking for Keith Olbermann, Janeane Garofalo, and Ed Schultz but couldn't find them either.

I would second an entry for Michael Moore... Hence the vote of "other".

Somebody is putting Jimmy Carter on the same level of Glen Beck? Is this reasonable?

A white guy from the South thinking that racism might be a reason for a lot of the intensity of hatred toward a black guy? Shocking. SHOCKING.

LOL exactly. Jimmy Carter was a president and is a prominent voice in the american discourse even today after so many years. I think what he said about Obama was right on the mark: it might be a contributing factor for the shocking intensity of the hatred against the president. Will Obama agree to that? Of course not, he doesn't want to give cable TV one more reason to distract the people from important issues.

Glen Beck and the rest of the list Tauron put up, on the other hand, can be clinically demonstrated to be mentally insane.

No more SHOCKING than a popular pundit who thinks Obama is racist?

On one had we have a single individual who thinks another single individual is racist, on the other we have a single individual who thinks "an overwhelming portion" (not a lot, an overwhelming portion) of folks who demonstrate hostility to Obama are racist...

I think it's reasonable to put those two individuals on the same level. I'd even think it reasonable to suggest the individual who casts aspersions on a huge number of folks be at a greater level of idiocy, given the fact that Obama himself doesn't agree... which is the definition of insanity - someone believing things that sane people don't. So, unless you think Obama is crazy or lies to the media, you have to acknowledge the lack of sanity in Carter's position.

Is this where the thread devolves into the "I know you are, but what am I?" level of juvenilisms?

Threads that attract the liberals so often go that route.

Because right wing wackos (note: not conservatives, just the wackos) can't handle intelligent discourse? I just said the same exact thing you did. If it's juvenile for me to say it, it's juvenile for you to say it. Also, I'm not liberal.

I think if you disagree with these guys then you are a flaming liberal.

When my kids were really young they would do the same thing. I suppose they thought they were being clever by doing so.

You pretty much make my point for me, you know that, don't you?

No, believing Jimmy Carter isn't a crazy lunatic makes you a flaming liberal.

Yup, 25 years ago my kids would have thought that was clever. I bet you keep 'em rolling in the isles at school during recess.

The best part is you're serious here and I'm just playfully responding to these ridiculous posts of yours. Like this:

"so you DO think you're clever! Can you tie your shoes by yourself too? I bet your mom's so proud! I'll bet when you grow up they'll let you be a [right wing nutter.] Sounds like you'd fit right in."

You actually don't need anyone to talk to. Pretty much anything you say really does fit as perfect responses to those same statements.



Edit: It appears Taskiss's post I quoted got deleted so added is it quoted in its original glory.
