Where can I argue with some Republicans?
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 05:31 AM by lvx35
I love these forums because there is an endless supply of accurate news, but I sometimes find myself scuffling with people who agree with me on 99% of issues. Do you guys know a good place to set some Republicans strait? I tried it on FreeRepublic, but they erase it. Any ideas?

1. Hannity's forums are pretty good
You don't get banned if you

a. Are polite to other posters
b. Refrain from being obnoxious when criticizing Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh

http://www.hannity.com/forum/

(I'm shockingelk there too)

34. I was banned from there for calling Limbaugh a jackass.
My old name was Usurper.

Those people there are bat-shit insane. How many racist threads are on the front page today? There were usually a few when I used to go there.

You can downloard, Yahoo, and set up an account. Then you can enter political chat room, and especially room 4, those are where all the neo cons hang out. I love to go in there, and piss them off. I say things like, this just in............."Drownie yer doin a heckuva job." Now who said that?
And what is wrong with gw bush's speech? MIssssssssssssssssssssssshun accomplissssssssssssssshed. Did all the cocaine and alcohol do some damage to his brain.
OH, they hate liberals, so, if you want a good argument, or just to laugh at the stupid things, THEY say, go to Yahoo political chat rooms.
Sometimes, its a way of venting for dems/liberals, get you a laugh for the day!

Your welcome, hope you enjoy yourself, but be prepared for a lot of name calling. And I mean bad bad words. I just ignore it, and keep on dissing them about bush. I don't respond to their name calling.
They are a pretty violent group, pro bush, pro war, pro guns. One thing that really makes them mad is when I say, "Oh you guys, did you just get back from yer Deliverance trip?" (You know the movie) and then I say "Squeal like a pig, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee." LOLOLOL

Unfortunatly I just went there, but I switched to Linux to get away from Microsoft control, and that site takes Java and I don't quite have it working with this browser yet. But I will get it working just for this! :)

12. Oh holy shit, this one has a thread called FISA vs the Constitution
Claiming that congress is usurping the infinite power of the president to spy on the people. This one is the best yet!!! I am exposed to naked republican stupidity. This is what I have been wanting to sink my teeth into. Thank you friend.

18. my reply
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 07:36 AM by lvx35
edit: I tried to post my reply to that, but I am having a hard time linking directly to it. Here is my copy and paste:

Its amazing to me to see the absolute shamelessness with which you bow down to the total corruption of the constitution and still dare call yourself an "american" or a "man". The entire Bush doctrine of subverting the balance of power to extend the power of the executive at the expense of the judicial is a travesty of everything the constitution represents. The most pathetic thing of all, is that you dare call yourself a conservative, still living under the pretense that you represent minimal goverment while you drool like a gay cheerleader over the idea of a government force acting outside of judicial oversite spying on americans. What was it you guys said when Clinton had blowjobgate? No president is above the law? Isn't it funny now that this so called "president" has been condemned by every constitution scholar as having broken the law, yet now you bow down on your knees like a good apparatchik to this corruption of the governement.

Stop it. You humiliating youself and making me sick.

40. Thanks for posting this. The Rethuglicans on Slugfest are running scared !
Its all getting back to the old "Clinton or someone else did it, so its OK for B* to do it too", mantra.

All a pack of lies they feed each other on the Repukelican
spin-cycle machine.

11. Are you serious, Ivx35?
I only ask as I am not one into debating those guys. They don't seem to ever want to hear any other perspectives at all, and only intent on wearing you down until you agree with them, or just get exhausted and give up.

If you are serious let me know. I can send you to a pretty thick headed bunch. I tired of all the rw spin and intolerance of progressive points of view and left ages ago.There's only a few liberals over there, and some of them are more conservative than any of us are. Every now and then (after the dems have a good news day,I'll go there to see what's going on, but don't post. There's one guy in particular I could warn you about. Anyway, last time I checked them out, it seemed more had tired of this particular poster's incessant parroting of Limbaugh and Faux news.

It's pretty no holds barred over there and takes a VERY thick skin, one of the reasons I had to exit. LOL! They don't allow profanity, but they will let you debate as much as you want, as long as you don't cuss anyone out, literally. I got pretty tickled a while back. A former progressive poster came back to that forum, and really let some of the lunk heads have it. It was AWESOME! Quite a thing to see--you could tell this poster was pissing some of them off, as their posts were getting deleted--they were obviously getting so upset they were using profanity. Hahaha!

Anyway, I got sick of it, but if that's your thing--I'll happily give you a link! :hi:

14. Hell yes I'm serious!
Look at Kerry Vs Bush. One fought in the hell of Viet Nam, One sat on his preppy ass and avoided service. What could be more satisfying than a well delivered punch to the jaws of these fat assed couch warriors? They don't expect it at all from a "liberal" that's why it feels so good. Forgive me this indulgence, but in my personal view its about time. :(

Anyway, if you have links, I thank you, but such a fine banquet has been laid before me that I am pretty good as it is. But I thank you for any input!

:)

25. Right on, dude--
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 08:03 AM by bliss_eternal
Good for you for setting them straight--someone's got to. LOL!

Here's the link:
http://mb.laughingplace.com/MsgBoard-S-174.asp?Refresh=Refresh=0103044001

Let me know if you decide to go over there and post (and what your name is), I'd love to observe you in action.

You'd never think you'd find such insanity on a board for an amusement park, but go figure. They gave them a world events area so they could discuss political stuff--as I said, aside from profanity, they pretty much let them have at
it.

Edited to add this link:
http://mb.laughingplace.com/default.asp?WCI=MsgBoard&WCE=T-70485-P-1&Refresh=0103045954

This is a thread initiated by one of the liberal/progressives on the board. His original post pretty much spells out who the major republicans on the board are, and what their 'debate patterns' are. Probably too pedestrian for someone as well versed in debate as you, but just thought you might want to know what you are dealing with up front, or to help you decide if you even want to bother.

:hi:

Have fun!

19. I could always use some reinforcements!
I know this might sound dumb at first, but please hear me out:

Ebay!

When you're finished laughing (cause who wouldn't?), unlike here where you're either "preaching to the choir" or arguing minutiae with people who are generally in agreement - and unlike the Hannity or other "wonkish" forums - on ebay your arguments are made in front of the public. I don't know if anyone ever really changes anyones mind on a political forum. It seems people just draw up sides and have the same predictable template they follow no matter what.

On ebay the "audience" is in the tens of thousands, and many are not politically or "current event" savvy. You get an opportunity to educate as well as debate - and every once in a while you're rewarded with seeing a light bulb go off for someone.

The two politically active forums are the soapbox:
http://forums.ebay.com/db1/forum.jspa?forumID=124

and the townsquare:

"I tried it on FreeRepublic, but they erase it."
This is the freedom they wear on their bumperstickers.

24. You can't argue with Republicans
all you can do is get shouted down.

Its impossible to actually have a debate with someone who won't listen to reason or use logic.

27. That's where verbally beating the shit out of them comes in handy.
these guys aren't tough. They're scared, they're very very scared. Why do you think all the political candidates (except for John McCain) who've actually served in combat are Dems? These guys are pussies when it comes down to real conflict. I have seen this at the most real, personal levels. The conviction to stand for peace really comes from courage, the conviction to stand for torture REALLY comes from cowardice. You can bet money on that, its the real deal.

29. I argued with my republican friend/boss yesterday
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 08:19 AM by peanutbrittle
And old highschool friend. More heated debate. 9/11 mihop to social welfare spy scandal other issues. He is so egotistical and hard headed and refuses to believe any of the lefts views. It's all about the terrorists and the welfare abuse issues with him.

I slammed him on the spy scandal & walked away blue in the face and a headache. Total waste of energy

I cannot fathom how he can continue support these criminals

I'm pissed at this mis- administration for dividing us like this.

Otherwise he is a good guy and means well. We just have to agree to disagree

Don't do it, because you both get muddy and the pig likes it.

If you must; http://www.postchronicle.com/newsboard/

Buffoons. Tell 'em I sent you. I got tired of them when they literally couldn't understand or believe that a Democrat could have a war hero in the family. Somehow, I must have counterfeited Dad's bronze star and purple heart, I guess.

You'll tire of willful ignorance soon enough.
