Calling Out "Rhetoric"

[nalto]

No, no. Those people were forced to be evil. Probably by Glenn Beck or perhaps Sarah Palin. Or maybe even George W. Bush. Now that guy was EVIL.

WTF is this thread doing on EE?

But to post on topic: I'm a firm believer in free speech. However, with rights come responsibilities. If you have a position of authority, think before you open your pie hole.

Yep, definitely W's fault...in 50 years the school history books will be much smaller since everything bad that will have happened can be blamed on Bush

You left out Foxnews...they obviously had a hand in this, too

There are too many people who have mental issues and you need to be mindful of what is said to the masses.

Well, yeah, that too. But I'm used to seeing all sorts of political drivel over on PM. As opposed to the usual drivel here. At least we're funny.

Why shouldn't it be on EE? Isnt' EE 'Everything else". Seems like anything should fit there.

You can put it here, but I can't promise you'll like the way the thread goes.............

I think the point is that there's already a board for Politics, while there isn't a board for food (other than recipies), ice dams, coffee, etc.

[Befferz]

I don't pretend to know what the mods/administrators think. And in some cases, I think I'm glad I don't know.

which is usually discussed, more on topic, on the PM board than here. You're free to post but we're free to go off track.

Why not? There are so many boards that they might as well make one for every topic.

Holy crap, are you so bored with life that you need to try to start arguments with faceless people on the internet?

[Befferz]

Isn't "rhetorical debate" an oxymoron?

Holy crap are you so board with life that you need to start arguments with faceless people on the internet about starting arguments? That is far sadder than me!

bored or board???LMAO!

[Chocolate Lover]

Who said anything about staying on topic? Rhetorically speaking of course.

Then you're in the right place! I'll just go get the popcorn and 'ritas and get all set up to watch what unfolds......

Of course, I don't want political analysis. I am just here to talk for the joy of hearing myself talk and hearing whatever you guys have to say and whatever direction you want to go. I am your servant.

Then I would like a low-carb mango margarita, please...

OK, I want to be exalted. BTW, I usually like to go right then left
directionwise but not always.

Oh please, you could have told Loughner that the moon was made of green cheese and he would have gone ape over that. That shooting had nothing whatsoever to do with "rhetoric".

<<POM rereads her post to figure out WTF snerdley is going on about>> I never even alluded to that person. I meant it as a general rule of thumb. Mental issues and bat shit crazy are two different things.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I assume we are talking about Sarah Palin and some of her recent tweets, blogs, ads and other grabs for attention?

Even if she did not make the guy go out and shoot a senator she has drastically lowered her popularity and has yet again made herself the butt of many jokes.

I agree with swamp that I am all for free speech, but I am also all for you get what's coming to you when you open your mouth.

Personally I am glad someone is calling BS on all these kinds of ads because for once I'd really like to know what the person I am voting for actually stands for as opposed to what the other "bad guy" supposedly did and why I should not vote for him.

[NancysSummerSip]

Aw, thanks...I wondered where that came from. I was trying to answer the rhetoric with something lovely and green, and that's all I could think of. I'm low-carbing it, and I would prefer to break out the buttered baugettes, but no can do.

I don't like peas.
