So, who got the better of whom? A facebook discussion with a RWer who

[zbdent]

claims he takes the high road ...

and, apparently he can't handle it and calls me "idiot" ...

On a thread where JTJ comments on Bill Press's Facebook Wall:

John T. Johnson
Hey Bill, I believe that they are more Americans who are unwilling to run up further deficits than there are those who want to have US Government run Health-Care.

Too bad they didn't utter a peep when it was George W. Bush signing every bill that the Republicans gave him (after trying to arrest Democrats who insisted on READING THE BILL they were to vote on) ... and spending more in two months than the entire bill for giving basic health care for children OVER TEN YEARS ... (ya ya ya, do the "spending like a drunken Democrat", but that doesn't fly when he vetoes everything that wasn't written by a Repug ...)

Ernest you are living in the past lane. You need to get up to speed here and see what President Obama is doing to our country and to the Democratic party.

Hey, "living in the past" is the guy with the trash can after the parade ... always having to clean up the gargantuan mess left by the elephants ...

But hey, Reagan's elevation to sainthood isn't "living in the past" ...

You forgot to call Obama Hitler ...

Earnest, one sure-fire thing that loony lefties do when they are losing a debate: they resort to non sequitors and then get irrational. I haven't mentioned in this thread, President Reagan nor have I spoken disrespectfully of President Obama. You have been disrespectful to both, refering to them by last name.

Too bad your group does the same thing. Ad hominem attacks when they are losing, changing the subject to throw the conversation off when they're losing.

"Run up further deficits"? Someone should have stopped the Republicans 2001-2007.

One only condemns oneself when one says another person is doing the same thing. The other person may or may not have done those things, but the guilt is definitely upon the one who admits doing the act.

So, "one only condemns oneself when one says another person is doing the same thing."

Nice explanation of the "Should Obama be killed" poll counter-arguments of the right.

Using verbiage like that can get you a call from the Secret Service, pal, even in a quote. A word to the wise is sufficient.

well aware of the SS concerns ... and remembering the standards:

Wear a T-shirt and sit quietly at Bush's SOTU as a guest of a Dem, arrested ...

Joke about a "burning bush" in a bar ... arrested ... jail time ...... Read More

Carrying a rifle/pistol openly at a town hall under Obama ... crickets ...

Richfield, Ohio, 2003, stand in the cold and rain AS A SCREENED GUEST of Bush (no, not me, thank you) at his rally, better not take an umbrella ... no 2nd amendment for umbrellas ...

Am I wrong in guessing that this person lost his arguments?

[Hello_Kitty]

1. I'd say you handed his ass to him. eom

[JuniperLea]

2. I've gone as far as to say...

Thank you for stooping to name calling! Yay! I win by default! It's been a pleasure arguing with you.

[Selatius]

3. Your last statement before he resorted to "idiot" was a knock-out blow. It was nothing but fact nt

[zbdent]

5. go back to the link and look at the final word ...

it's comical, and pretty much makes my point ...

he says "Idiocy is as idiocy does."

Well, the idiot did ...

[Balbus]

4. Arguing politics on facebook...

You both lose.
