jdobbin Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 Ahh...the "I know you are but what am I?" defence. Real smrt. There's that emotional response I have to expect from you. So instead of saying, "You're a desperate party hack lacking any semblance of intelligence/ logic." I need to say, "You ACT like a desperate party hack lacking any semblance of intelligence/logic?"I mean, I'm not branding you or personalizing...I'm just stating observations of your behavior. And I can say that you are acting like a child with tantrum-like lashing out and anger. We can all access behaviour and comment on it. The smarter posters, however, don't use silly technical and rhetorical labels to describe political figures. For someone who refers to the forum rules when someone calls him, "dobby," it's hilarious to see you throwing around 'mad dog sociopath' and such. It's another reason for people to mock you for the pathetic and desperate hack you are ACT like. The namecalling on people and political parties is rock solid clear. I have never played around with Harper's name or any other name in this forum. Ever. The mocking is the emotional response I have come to expect from you and it is one of the reasons that people have come to believe that you behave poorly and with frustration and anger. It is a rather desperate attempt to personalize at all costs. I have been quite clear about why I think Harper behaves the way he does and the language I use is mild compared to what I heard some political commentators use this week. Andrew Coyne had some choice words about Harper on the At Issue panel on Thursday. I am sure you can mock him as well for saying Harper acts "thuggish" amongst other things but surely you are overdeflecting. For the record, I don't think you're an idiot. I just think you're holding on irrationally tight to the Liberal bandwagon. That is a very small bandwagon and one that I don't support on every issue. I know you have lied about blanket support in the past and the feigned ignorance about any post I wrote in opposition but there it is. Try to get a grip on your fiery response to my posts. I realize that you support Harper presently but it isn't an attack on you and there is no need on your part to get angry or defensive. Quote

I bet if you went to the street and asked people who the GG of Canada is you would find 1 in twenty who would. So he [Michael Ignatieff] was lying to retain his audience. He was misleading to further his career in the US. Reminds me of the salesman who would tell you anything just to sell his wears. There's no excuse for your reactions, I'll grant you that.

Your buddy Bush and his evil gang aren't welcome in most of the world anymore. Way to be number one! Are you trying to make this topic dull? Harper's succeeding. By definition of daft, you are one. You're such an expert on maturity.... are you a psych major? Seriously, why don't you grab yur guns, head for the ranch in the foothills, and wait out the apocalypse. The Liberal locusts are coming! Run! I figure if Simple Guy can post his propaganda without a link, then so can I..... This just in..... Stevie Harper tops the latest poll as the most distrusted and dispicable politician in the entire world, ever. There's no excuse for your reactions, I'll grant you that. As I said before rude an impetuous behaviour. From someone who seems to have a very big chip on their shoulder at the moment.

jbg Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 The mocking....The blocking...It rhymes. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

Wild Bill Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 People trust the queen? Large numbers do, even in Canada! Or are you implying that you personally know the majority of folks and their views? You remind me of how Stockwell Day's evangelical supporters seemed to think that rather than a small minority they represented some 'silent majority'. Day governed as if that were true and was promptly and severely proven wrong.

Smallc Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 People trust the queen? Why would they not? She is a non political leader of this country that is bound to do what is in it's best interests. I certainly trust her...and I certainly trust the Governor General as well. Quote
noahbody Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 I can't recall branding Harper anything. I said he acts like like a sociopath. Don't think that is a diagnosis. From my observation, you're acting like someone who has multiple personality disorder. If you look through your posts, you'll find your other personality, who seems to be far more emotional, has called Harper a sociopath several times. Unless, of course, it's your wife logging in and posting for you. But that would only make sense if you were a paid poster. Quote

Jerry J. Fortin Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 It is my hope that politicians do increase the level in trust bewtween themselves and the citizens. That would mean a higher quality of representatives, which cannot be a bad thing. Quote
Smallc Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Yes, but as long as politicians keep attacking eachother's character, it's going to be hard to achieve any type of trust. Quote
Bryan Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Unless, of course, it's your wife logging in and posting for you. But that would only make sense if you were a paid poster. I've been starting to wonder the same thing. Look at Dobbin's posts in the credit card thread. Smart, insightful, balanced, and rational. Compare that to what's in this thread. Sure doesn't look like the work of the same person to me. Quote
waldo Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 well of course... when all is not well in Harper's world the generally accepted tactic is to make it personal... go after the individual - or bring up the weak/trivial... anything to avoid substantive discussion on issues of the day. Quote
