Grayson just called for Cantor to resign, because of his remarks. |
|
Listening to Alan Colmes.
Grayson is slaying the pukes big time. He is great!

2. Considering what Grayson said last night on Mike Malloy's show, he has a right to be pissed. |
|
Right wing pukes called Grayson's home and threatened his 5 year old child. He's got every right to be pissed at Cantor for making shit up.

5. He just went over that. |

He also just said: "The republicans are trying to induce a national nervous breakdown with their fear and hysteria."
Grayson really has a way with words, and he is fucking fearless. I love this guy!
I enjoy Colmes too, which is surprising to me.

But, I love Colmes! I wish I could stay up longer to listen more. He has the deftest touch at making his wingnut callers sound like idiots. Half the time, they have no idea how to respond to him.
That Vanderboegh or whatever was on the other night. When the guy complained that it was hard to live on the paltry sum he gets from SSI, Colmes quipped, "Oh, you're mad because the government doesn't send you enough money."

118. really funny part here from Grayson |
|
COLMES: Resign his leadership post, or resign from the Congress entirely?
GRAYSON (sighing): My goodness. I’m not even sure where he should stop. snip
and not so funny
snip: Grayson also relayed how he received a call at home last week and when his five-year-old answered the phone a woman said she was gong to kill Grayson.
GRAYSON: We had a woman call the house when I was in Washington DC. She called my house in Orlando last week. And my five year old – I have twins actually – one of the five-year-olds hit the speaker button when the phone was ringing. And she said if you vote for this bill, I’m gonna kill you.

3. What remarks? That his office was attacked or that he is the victim of anti-Semitism? |
|
The first one was torpedoed by the police, and the second one is kind of an insult to people who really are victims of anti-Semitism.

If he has been a victim of anti-Semitism in the past, the time to bring that up was when it happened. To suddenly start talking about it when he's trying to ham up this supposed (and disproved) attack on his office strikes me as disingenuous.

He may be acting in a disingenuous manner, but without proof one way or another, neither of us can tell. Being Jewish as well, you should know it is part and parcel for us. Others are experiencing backlash and anti-Semitism is rearing its ugly head. If he is a liar, then I too would be pissed and denounce it, but I won't dismiss it just because he is Republican or because of recent "hammed up" event.

18. What facts do you bring to the table that this was an anti Semitic incident? |
|
Just on his say-so? :shrug:
Do you believe that Obama is a Muslim on the say-so of others?
I usually look for something called the truth. When a synagogue or churched is attacked/defaced then that is a hate crime.
When somebody draws a conclusion without a clear reason or substance (i.e. an anti-Semitic death threat) then I called that an assumption or attention grabbing.
If some yahoo had called Cantor a racial/religious epithet on his way to work then I'd be right there with you in agreement and condemnation, but considering the source and the moment, I have to take his revelation with a grain of salt.

I claimed that he was a republican using anti-Semitism as a smokescreen for the political climate of threats and harassment that the Democrats are experiencing right now.
Every one of those worms is doing a tap dance to get as far from the damage that they have created; all the while telling the Dems to stop talking about it.

When you commented about enough of theoretical...in the real world, your implication was what he said wasn't true. Your subsequent posts, including the one to which I am responding, also imply you have proof. Of course, your "proof" is that he is a republican and, as such, lies: again, claiming he wasn't a victim of anti-Semitism. So prove this is so without logical fallacies, dollface.

I know you're willing to take him at his word. I, however, will do no such thing. If it's proven you've lied in a courtroom, your whole testimony is suspect. Cantor had his chance to tell the truth. He's proven that he's incapable.

86. Some liberals (not me) are anti-Israel, but, if there are liberals who, based on ethnicity |
|
are anti-semitic enough to be violent, I have not heard about them. I have heard about extreme right-wing groups that advocate anti-semitism and racism in general. So, if Cantor has been the victim of antisemitic attacks, he should denounce the extreme right wing and express sympathy for the Democrats suffering from violent attacks. So, Cantor's stance makes utterly no sense unless it is a strictly knee-jerk, partisan defense.

Doesn't screaming 'anti-semitism' when none exists actually do more damage to Jewish people everywhere by creating the public impression that anti-semitism is a trivial thing? I think there was a fable about a boy and a wolf that covered this.
I'm sorry but Cantor is a douchebag and trying to strut up his absurd claims that are rooted in nothing more than selfish partisanship and disgusting attempts to spin do not help anything. Trying to log on as a concerned Jew and defend him does a hell of a lot more harm than good.

You are aware that you accused me (falsely) of the ad hominem in the very paragraph that you implied I was stupid.
When I asked you to take down your star it was Because of your illogical and unsound arguments and the fact that you were doing damage by invalidating actual antisemitism by giving absurd levels of weight and gravity to a completely uncorraberated claim. I did not call you a name or demean the argument. You are, by your strange use of the word inventing a new fallacy 'Pre-hoc ergo propter hoc.'
I only plead with you that you cease demeaning Jews in the eyes of the public in this manner. And I will clarify in saying that it is not you that is unworthy but this line of argument that you have assumed.

According to the Chinese in the nine cities I've been to living here, Jews are smart, clever with great business minds, devoted to family and fantastic scholars. Basically, they are in awe of Jews and wish more would come to China.

30. No, the burden of proof is on the one making the accusations. |
|
You're right that any claim of threats needs to be addressed and investigated if there any.
I have also just watched the video where he says that since he has been in office that he has received threats because of his position and because he is Jewish.
He was directly threatened...bullet through the window...received threatening emails but won't release them (but he will pander for the cameras)...Democrats using these incidents for political gain...Democrats are the ones fanning the flames...using these threats as a political weapon...on and on with the usual GOP BULLSHIT.
These guys (GOP) cry, kick and scream at the drop of a hat at the least perceived offense by any Democrat. But when the threats are real and fanned by their party for months and culminate in genuine and tangible threats to Democrats then they claim that the Democrats are the ones that are encouraging it!!! That's like saying a woman who tells the cops that her abusive X wants to kill her is just carrying on too much and should settle down.
So, if Cantor would like to release the anti-Semitic threats against him, or at the very least a police report or conviction of the threaten-er, then I would gladly accept that as proof. So until that time the burden of proof is on the one making the accusations.

Just because he says it does it mean that it is true? Is he above lying and playing on the emotions of a religion for pure political gain?
So yes he is a republican, and I believe he is indeed lying to deflect attention from the shitstorm his party has created over the last year.

This is ridiculous. The burden of proof of these allegations and implications does not rest on some random person crawling on the internet it falls upon the person that made these allegations. I believe that if you honestly cared about real anti-semitism you would want Cantor to come forward with specifics about this.
If his allegations are true I certainly know I want details.

In this case it does rely "on some random person crawling on the internet" as he is the one who implied the allegations were false. However, as another poster pointed out, though he thinks it applies to my statements, MUAD_DIB is using the logical fallacy known as argumentum ad ignorantiam, a logical fallacy in which it is claimed that a premise is true only because it has not been proven false, or is false only because it has not been proven true (the italics indicate the version MUAD_DIB is using). I made no claims as to his allegations veracity or lack thereof, I simply refused to dismiss it outright because he is a Republican or because he lied about the window incident.

...and b) The claim is made by a member of a party of serial liars.
He didn't enunciate this very clearly, but it is obvious that this is what he meant and it is, in my opinion, disingenuous to pretend his argument rests solely on fallacious thought patterns.

Of an political persuasion. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
I completely believe Grayson. If black, Democratic Congressmen can be called nasty black insults, I am sure Grayson has received anti-Jewish ones.
I'm glad I'm not there. If I were Grayson, I'd caller ID all of them and then press conference saying this is what Republicans do, giving a list of names of people who have called my office.
Then I would thank the GOP Leadership personally but handing them to Eric Cantor, saying this is REAL bigotry you flamed, a-hole.

21. You should be aware it is possible to "prove a negative." |
|
The whole "can't prove a negative" is bullshit.

Well, not really, but...I can easily settle this: If Cantor says something, it has to be false. He is a rethuglican. They always lie.
Got it? :smoke:

Fuck him. Anti-semitism is wrong, but obviously he fans the flames of racism then expects a special dispensation? You reap what you sow, Cantor.

Just make silly "right back at ya" remarks without ever bothering to look anything up? It's kind of ridiculous.
You can't prove a negative. It's a very simple, universally accepted fact of life. Like 1+1=2.

So when you prove that an egg will break if you drop it off a building, you're also "proving a negative" because you've disproved the statement that "an egg will not break if you drop it off a building".
You can't counter logic with semantics, I'm sorry.

For the record, no, I'm not embarrassed. I wasn't wrong. I think you know what "prove a negative" means, and it is not simply the converse of a provable point.

You think the ballistic report that the shot was fired straight in the air and randomly hit his window is not proof? What kind of proof do you require? That the aliens did it? That the anti-sematic elfs, fairies & leprachauns that hate Jews were responsible.
Please! Quit being so hysterical and running around in circles yelling....those dang blasted anti-Jew hating thugs knew where that bullet was going to land.

It is so gratifying to watch the GOP/RW on the run.
I don't think the GOP had any inkling how badly this would backfire on them.

I actually lived in his district for awhile in the mid 90s, long before he became the rep though.
Didn't care much for that area. A bit too commercial and too many rednecks who didn't care for hippies like me. :hi:
