Another pantload-full of "reading pleasure"
Here's the sort of gibberish being offered as "opinion" over at gun nut forums today. And you'd be surprised at how many liberal Democratic (or even moderate Democratic, or even sane) viewpoints are offered in rebuttal...but only if you were expecting any. And who really does?

What are desperate dittomonkeys to do when the fuehrer is sinking in the polls? Why, attack Hillary Clinton….(snicker).


BigG: " I looked up "twit" in the dictionary and there was a picture of Her Hilliness."
HankB: " She's got what it takes to take what you've got. Those who rob Peter to pay Paul can count on Paul's vote. (Peter's too, if he's been properly brainwa . . . I mean educated."
Henry Bowman: " I think that the leftists are motivated by greed -- power greed. It's not always that they want your money for themselves. It's that they cannot trust you to do the "right thing" with it. Didn't Bill as much as say that a few years ago, IIFC?"
Partisan Ranger: " When that Hillary creature is among friends, she lets the 'moderate' mask slip, and the vile communist creature within can be briefly glimpsed."
CarlS: " She is the most scary politician in America."
...and it wouldn’t be complete without an oblique death threat from these dickless idiots...
Nazirite: " Why don’t we remove her bodyguards, they could be used to fight terrorism. It’s for the common good."

http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=3a5c3416bbe0bd05a3adbb4c43acec0b&threadid=89275

And then there's this "patriotic" attack on a Silver Star winner by supporters of a gutless deserter…
Thejokker: "kerry is a malingerer..."
Aimless: " I want to meet the guy in the military that thinks Kerry will care about them more than Bush. "
Armabill: "Where did he get this war time experience? He wasn't there long enough! "
Dinkydow: "What a shit sucker kerrykommie is.This from the Senator who is one of he most anti-military socialists in Washington.I am unable to fathom where he finds the balls to make some of the statements in this interview what with his record. "
Wobblin-Goblin: "Hey Kerry! You're a lying asswhipe fake decorated war-protester/veteran who couldn't come up with a coherent sentence if he rubbed two dictionarys together!"


Finally, the charmers in the self-styled "land of reason" (whose operator once barged over here to assure us there was absolutely no racism on forums such as his) demonstrating their deep and abiding love of freedom, capitalism, honesty, and American principle...
Thermal: "It's as much a documentary as "The Gods Must Be Crazy" Axe me bout's ebonics, stupid honkey."
Dukeofurl: "BTW - my brother downloaded a pirated version of it, so I'm gonna watch it today. I'm not going to pay money to watch it, but I have to watch it to criticize it, know what I mean?"
Dengel (Moderator): "You need to post a link to that .. Im sure many of us are curious, but we sure as hell arent gonna pay. "
(by the way, imagine the toolarooo we'd be hearing from right wing shitstains if one of DU's moderators publicly advocated committing a crime? So much for "law abiding" gun owners, eh?)
B Coyote: "How will it affect the election? I think it will convince all the stupid little sheeple that Bush is Satan and they will vote for Kerry. We're fucked. BTW....Fuck michael moore and the filthy whore that gave birth to him. May they burn in the deepest levels of hell. "
SpoiledBySig: "This guy is a true nightmare because he knows very well that ignorant & Blind Liberals and Minorities will totally believe his bull shit. As cruel as this may sound, there is nothing more that I would love to see than seeing Michael Moore in an Orange Jump suit in front of Al Jeezera TV. "
Virtual: "I may even be persuaded to let the rags borrow my knife for such an occasion."

Yeah, there are the voters we ought to be pandering to....NOT!

2. Appalling, isn't it....
We have so many people here who claim to be "pro-gun democrats"....and yet none of them has anything but excuses as to why they can't go over to those forums and say "boo" to those folks.

And remember, those aren't supposed to be right wing loony only forums...they just work out that way for reasons you can probably figure out on your own.

Duh. Why was that so hard to figure out? It appears that you enjoy them, though. So why don't you go play over there and leave us alone?

4. Gee, fat slob....excuse #4,355
Of course, I don't blame you...the forums show what sort of ugly scumbags such folks are, much better than I could say. That's why most decent people support gun control, and why most organziations of decent people (the PTA, the League of Women Voters, the NAACP, the YMCA, Hadassah, etc.) ended up on the NRA's idiotic enemies list.

"It appears that you enjoy them, though."
No, but I enjoy showing what sort of right wing fuckwits peddle this gun rights rubbish. Despite claims to the contrary.

5. Your use of the word "peddle" has gotten old.
I suggest visiting "http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=peddle" to find a suitable synonym. You could use it to spice up your writing, which has grown quite reptitious.

6. "Why don't you post on that site? It's full of morons!"
The great paradox. With one breath, Benchley complains that we should post hundreds of times on those pro-gun boards, then with the next breath he cherrypicks the very worst right-wing drivel he can find on those boards.

There's a fundamental failure occuring in Benchley's thought process. He's unable to comprehend the concept of a liberal who thinks private gun ownership should be completely legal.

Idiot right-wingers are pro-gun. If you're pro-gun, you must be an idiot right-winger.

He's simply incapable of separating the two.

Like I've said before...I sometimes wear red shirts. That doesn't mean I'm emulating Tiger Woods.

8. Who else is going to be on a gun nut site BUT morons, op?
Edited on Wed Jun-30-04 01:56 PM by MrBenchley
You guys keep claiming there's lots of pro-gun liberals...and yet they're actually scarcer as hens teeth...however often you want to post your little whiny "why do they hate my guns?" links.

Gee, if I'm cherry-picking, then it ought to be no problem for you to cherry-pick the liberal or moderate opinion over there and prove me wrong. But in fact, it's all dittohead horseshit from stem to stern.

"Idiot right-wingers are pro-gun. If you're pro-gun, you must be an idiot right-winger."
Plenty of chances to prove me wrong...and yet all we ever get from our "pro gun democrats" are excuses...or self-pitying sniveling.

11. ah, the fundamental failure
There's a fundamental failure occuring in Benchley's thought process. He's unable to comprehend the concept of a liberal who thinks private gun ownership should be completely legal.

I'm seeing several of 'em here. Fundamental failures.

It seems to me that the point being made is that THE FASCIST ASSHOLES whom Mrbenchley cites are the ones who are "unable to comprehend the concept of a liberal who thinks private gun ownership should be completely legal".

Wouldncha think that SOMEBODY would be wanting to explain this to them??

Wouldncha think that it would be thought at least as important to persuade the fascist assholes' audience that there are gun-lovin' liberals as it is to persuade liberals that there are liberal gun-lovers??

It strikes me that the problem -- from your perspective -- isn't that MrBenchley thinks that "If you're pro-gun, you must be an idiot right-winger", it's that the idiot right-wingers are saying that if you're a liberal, you must be advocating the confiscation of firearms in private hands.

If being "liberal" were as important to me as being pro-choice, and I knew of a bunch of fascists saying that only fascists are pro-choice and no liberals are pro-choice, then I think I might want to dispute that claim. I might just want to make sure that people to whom reproductive choice is important don't go off half-cocked and vote fascist because of what they hear.

Of course, me, if the fascists were defining "pro-choice" as meaning that the local dog groomer ought to be permitted to perform abortions on his/her kitchen table, I think I'd be disputing that proposal and demonstrating how my "liberal" definition of reproductive choice was just a little bit more civilized. Amazingly, that logic applies pretty well to being "pro-gun". Well ... in the mind of what I'd call a liberal, anyhow.

13. Of course the concept of "good faith" enters into it too....
"It strikes me that the problem -- from your perspective -- isn't that MrBenchley thinks that "If you're pro-gun, you must be an idiot right-winger", it's that the idiot right-wingers are saying that if you're a liberal, you must be advocating the confiscation of firearms in private hands."
And you would think that those tons of rootin' tootin' gun totin' liberals that our trigger-happy chums claim are out there somewhere would be arguing that point forcefully on those forums. Not to mention refuting the gibberish in those idiotic threads I excerpted.

And you would think that anyone concerned that someone else was "cherry picking" only the grotesquely ignorant responses off that forum would be equally able to "cherry pick" at least some of those pistol-packing liberal responses from the very same threads to refute me.

But he doesn't because he can't, because there are no such posts.

So all that's left to do is distort the argument being made and throw around insults and huff and puff. Or make excuses.

you do so often, but that is just my opinion. you snicker too much, why I do not know. Your position on guns only solidifies your opposition just by being unrelenting on this issue, by the way I disagree with. Also, I see you always have deleted msgs after you post yours, Why>???

14. If you do nt care about others opinions why bother posting?
and as for being decent and respectful, lets not call the kettle black, but I saw your post on another topic, and I understand why you are so enraged. But others have their experiences too. as I do as well. I am glad you made it through your ordeal. What a trauma you went through. hope all is well now.

16. What>???

If I could figure out what you were on about ...

Your question was why there were always deleted posts after Benchley's.

Posts get deleted because posters violate rules.

Why don't you ask the posters whose posts they were??
