Why does the right insist

[Conager]

And if the party hires and pays people to make those calls, there is nothing illegal or improper about that at all.

But, once again, the "paid protesters" meme implies that the protesters would not be marching if they were not paid, i.e., that they are not sincere opponents of the Trump Admin, and that's bullshit.

Speaking of bullshit. . . have you provided as single citation yet, since lecturing yesterday about how "the rules" require it?

Don't recall ever using that word. But it is just plain common sense to demand/provide a cite for any assertion of fact which is a matter of public record. But, some assertions, such as mine in the above post, are too obviously true to fairly require one; or are not citable facts as such, therefore are matters for debate and should be responded to as such. What part of this would you seriously dream of contradicting?

Why would you need "thousands" of agitaters? With years of indoctrination by the educational industrial complex and just a little nudge on social media it doesn't take much to get out the useful idiots.

All you have to do is tell them to come out and that they will "make a difference." They don't even have to know what it is their objecting to.

Thanks to the Obama economy there is an awful lot of leftist indoctrinated college grads with no jobs and a lot of time on their hands. By now they should be half a decade into their careers and finding out that they really ought to be Republicans.

All you need is perhaps some organized transportation and those nifty pre-printed signs that pop up at completely spontaneous protests. Most liberals live in big cities with convenient public transportation.

I love this propaganda line that you and Ish are using about they don't even know what "their" objecting to. They are objecting to a variety of things. Where does it say that everyone has to be objecting to the same thing? I realize it's a right wing talking point, but even you should realize it's a stupid one.

And it's equally ridiculous that you think these are all out of work people. Another common talking point that is utter bullshit.

You'd have to dumb the protesters down first. Throw in some misspelled signs and you got yourself a real protest. *nods*

I listened to Sean Hannity on the way home from work... Pretty sure he was about to cry of the injustice! Poor guy. 16 years of fear mongering and now he's on the outside. It's falling apart and he is reaching for 'The Spin'. This place just reminds me of a bunch of yes men. Toadies waiting for the nod. I hate being political, but the utter lack of any semblance is jaw dropping.

As the saying goes:

Everything before the "but" is bullshit.

Best run along now to the new GBPC Lounge, snowflake...

...after all, it was specifically created for little "I hate being political" pussies like you.

Trump is used to owning/running a business that insulates him from public view. It was much easier to work in secret. He's finding out that's practically impossible as President with all the 24/7 media digging for anything they can fill airtime with. FauxNews will even turn on him and start pushing Pence if it gets bad enough.

And yet he can never get enough of public view. Ironic, isn't it?

 

[Pookie]

He's quickly finding out it's a double edge sword. And just like his alleged golf skills, he's not quite the master of it that he likes to think.

The part where you get to be the sole arbiter of when a citation is or is not required.

Your position has consistently been that everything you say requires no citation because it's obvious truth and every single thing anyone else says that you disagree with requires citation. You are such a sanctimonious, disingenuous fuck.

I can't believe that you cannot grasp that you're doing this on a consistent basis. Either you are just as obtuse as Spidey, just as underhanded as Phrodeau, or your delusions of grandeur are such that you really cannot see this.

I never said that. But there is no reason why I can't demand one if, on my own sole discretion, I judge it is. If you can respond neither with a cite nor with a colorable argument as to why no cite is necessary, that rather discredits your post, doesn't it? And you always have the same right to demand a cite of me, etc. This is all very elementary stuff, you don't need to have been on the debate team to understand it.

The January 21st marches seemed to be focused on voicing displeasure with
Trump's pro-life stance and plans to defund planned parenthood, Trump's muslim ban, Trump's Cabinet Picks and other issues as well.

I see, you figure you will be doing the scoring as well as "competing."

Carry on.

Look, the process I am describing has very obvious value. It is what makes a debate informative and useful, and keeps it from degenerating into a meaningless series of unsupported and therefore pointless counter-assertions. If you assert X and I simply contradict you, well, what is the point of that? Contradiction is not disproof. But if I demand a cite and you provide one, then I am informed, and anyone else following the debate is informed, of the content of your cite (regardless of whether it actually supports your assertion). If I demand a cite and you reply with a good logical argument as to why none is necessary, we all are informed of the content of your argument. If I demand a cite and you simply fail to provide one, we all are informed that you're just talking out your ass. In any event, we all learn something. Is that not far preferable to an endless string of no-you're-the-poopyheads?

Salon published a video of a pedophile talking about how he lusted for a five year old girl but is still a good person because he would never actually act on his lust.

Salon is crap and so is Washington Times. Arguing which is more credible is like arguing for Coke over Pepsi. Both are shit.
