Van Jones Resigns

[Ericsson1228d]

Why don't YOU ask them? I'm not going to assume anything here. For the fourth time... stop seeking excuses for your ignorance in front of me.

So even you cannot come up with a HYPOTHETICAL reason that won't sound so ridiculous that you can't bring yourself to post it.

I rest my case.

LOL... you wouldn't do well in court, would you?
If you're trying to discuss FACTS as you're claiming to do (and failing miserably BTW), you don't go by HYPOTHETICALS. You apparently missed that lesson in law school, or just in everyday, social logic.

Speculating as to why these guys were there does nothing to dispute the real issue. But it does aid in helping you find an excuse to maintain your need to discriminate and stereotype, further validating your ignorance on the subject matter. Seriously, why do you make discrediting your arguments THIS easy?

 

[Ericsson1228d]

So, you can't see why they would be there either.

Thank you for making my point for me.


Oh, and the "Real Issue" for you seems to be to continually accuse me of racial profiling.

My "real issue" is voter intimidation, and the lack of any (even hypothetical) reason what these two were doing outside that polling place.

If it wasn't intimidation, then what?

Oh, I could make an assumption as to why they were there. I just refuse to because I don't need to dream up scenarios in order to prove MY point. In all honesty, if I "speculated" and made assumptions just like you (based on my own beliefs), I'd make you look worse. Consider the fact that I'm not as shallow as you to be a blessing.

Oh, and the "Real Issue" for you seems to be to continually accuse me of racial profiling.

Racial profiling suggests that you'd do this to all black people regardless of how they are dressed or wherever they are standing. I have no way in knowing this, therefore I will not assume that you are engaging in that. But you are stereotyping and discriminating in this case. Learn your terminology here. There IS a difference.

My "real issue" is voter intimidation, and the lack of any (even hypothetical) reason what these two were doing outside that polling place.

If it wasn't intimidation, then what?

It was exactly as it appeared on both videos.
Two black men in military gear, standing in front of a building. One was in possession of a night stick but was not using it against anyone in any forceful nature. Nor was he wielding it in any kind of offensive or defensive way. If that spells "intimidation" to you, the perhaps you should grow a pair of balls and stop looking at every situation as one where someone wants to commit harm to you? Apparently Grandma had a set.

As a true Libertarian, I find that practice disgusting as well. Libertarians should be focused on going after Republicans to take back the GOP from the NeoCon Trotskyites who hijacked it in the 80s. THEN we'd be in a better position to go after the Democrats.

:kiss:

Make sure you put the s-word (socialist) before and after each name.

Probably don't need too. They probably put it there on their resumes themselves. In the Obama administration, calling someone a socialist is a compliment.

You just illustrated the idiocy being pervaded by all these talking heads with their ignorant labeling.

Being a socialist isn't a value statement. In and of itself, it's neither derogatory nor complimentary...it's merely an economic philosophy.

Anyone who actually buys into - or worse, regurgitates - this vapid dichotomy of "capitalism good, socialism evil" should be bitchslapped and sent back to school..

Don't be stupid.

Our country was founded on the ideals of a democracy. The great progress our nation has made as a young country is due to our capitalist system.

If you think socialism is so great, I invite you to move to any of the remaining socialist countries. By all means, and take as many as your like-minded friends with you. I am sure China could use a few more cogs in their machine.

As a person who believes in personal responsibility and earning (and keeping) the fruits of our labor through hard work, I think that socialism sucks.

Oh, and while you are in China, make sure to abide by their reproductive laws. Because remember, even in China, only ONE of your children is eligible for the state-sponsored education programs. And you will receive a FINE if you have more than one child.

Actually, this may be a good system to implement in the USA for people on welfare. Keep the welfare rolls down, instead of rewarding these "baby machines" by giving them more state and federal funds.

Oh, but I bet you don't like that idea one bit, do ya? Yeah, socialism is cool until we try to apply it to actual situations in the USA. Everyone "wants the free shit" but nobody wants the "state imposed controls" of nearly every aspect of their lives.

Look it's 1 or 0. There is nothing in between. The bit is ON or it's OFF. :wink: That's American politics today.

You are a vile, despicable, immoral being and by these fallacious statements prove yourself so completely ignorant.

Yeah Im sure all 113 of Okberbitches' viewers will be tremendously inspired.

And for the record, how the fuck is it a "smear" campaign when your career was undone by your own comments that were recorded and played back on audio and video? Beck never made 1 false allegation of Jones, he simply hit the "play" button on the hatred, racism, and stupidity Jones has spewed for years.

[FONT=&quot]From This Brave Nation:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]This weekend, an environmental justice hero resigned from the White House. Van Jones was the victim of a vicious smear campaign led by FOX News hatemonger Glenn Beck. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Van's career as a voice for the poor is legendary, which is why Beck sought to destroy his career in the Obama administration. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]To see who the real Van Jones is, watch this video from our series "This Brave Nation" [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]We can never allow this to happen again. FOX will continue its witch hunt. We must be prepared to speak out and fight back. We want to hear from you. [/FONT]

Wow. As slanted and screwed up as Glenn Beck is - Van Jones is as bad or worse - but he was holding a high government post. Defending him is no better than defending Glenn Beck. Somebody could list the countless good things that Glenn Beck has done for society, too. It doesn't vindicate him of his other behavior. Same goes for Mr. Van Jones.

Give it a rest.
