I thought this one was interesting, basically many people in the GOP are saying the DNC changed location because they couldn't fill the stadium. I find this interesting because I have a direct personal experience to prove this false. I stood in line near the end of the day they were giving free passes out and I saw the people after me upset because they had to sign up for a waiting list because they were out of passes.

There were about 100 or so but this was just one of the locations, and that was on saturday, they were supposed to be giving them out sunday as well. But I'm not really sure what you are getting at.

"Congressional Republicans, resolute in their commitment to deny the Democrats anything that looks like an accomplishment in an election year, have spent the week obstructing passage of the Veterans Job Corps Act of 2012. It’s a perfectly inoffensive bill from Senator Patty Murray, the Washington Democrat, meant to increase hiring and job training for veterans, especially those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Quote :

"Fuqua, who served in the Arkansas House from 1996 to 1998, wrote there is "no solution to the Muslim problem short of expelling all followers of the religion from the United States," in his 2012 book, titled "God's Law." Fuqua said Saturday that he hadn't realized he'd become a target within his own party, which he said surprised him. "I think my views are fairly well-accepted by most people," Fuqua said before hanging up, saying he was busy knocking on voters' doors. The attorney is running against incumbent Democratic Rep. James McLean in House District 63."

Scare thing is it's probably true where he is running

oh, wait. he has an (R) beside his name. that's all you libtards need.

10/15/2012 12:15:55 PM

Sending him back to kenya is an obviously derogatory comment just like saying "send them back to china", which is a racist phrase used to refer to asian immigrants.

it's your fellow dems that won't even entertain the idea that people dislike him for reasons other than his race. not me.

the sentiment that the republican party votes the way it does due to racism has been expressed a million times on this board.

i've actually concluded that all of you dems hate romney just because he's white. nothing will change my mind, and you should all be ashamed.

Makes an ad hominem attack.

I was pointing out that you ALREADY used one by calling me an idiot.

reading is fundamental.

10/15/2012 5:31:49 PM

It might help to not actually present an argument that conforms to the wikipedia definition to a T if you don't want to be called out on it

Since you apparently need this explained to you like a baby, here you go:

The argument being made is that it's racist to talk about sending Obama back to Kenya. Instead of addressing that argument, you negate the argument by saying that it's not racist to want him out of the oval office, since that was in a DIFFERENT part of the quote. But, and here's the tricky part so pay attention, wanting him out of the oval office is not the part of the quote in question.

See how that works?

"Since you apparently need this explained to you like a baby"

ad hominem. absolutely nothing you say will be valid, ever again.

why do you guys hate romney for being white? that's the question.

10/15/2012 5:37:28 PM

I actually don't think it's racist. It's just appealing to the lowest common denominator in the Republican base, the birther.

The birther movement is racist. Therefore any play to it is inherently racist.

Taking a cue from Romney and making stuff up?

10/15/2012 7:17:01 PM

The lowest common denominator of the Republican party is the racist. They know this. That's why they get so defensive when racism is brought up, it's overcompensation.

That's why they pull that old strawman, "Oh you lieberals think all Obama criticism is based on racism!" because the only alternative would be to admit and talk about the racists in their party. They'd have to separate out the racist criticism from the non-racist ones, and that kind of critical thinking hurts party solidarity.
