More Conservative Freakiness: Robertson Claims Gays Spread AIDs with Secret Rings

[humbolt]

:doh What is your problem anyway?

You start a thread based on another absurdity uttered by Robertson - CLEARLY for the purposes of ascribing his lunacy to all of conservativism in general - and by extension to all conservatives specifically. You pretend he speaks for all of us - and that on the weakest of bases possible. You give some viewership statistics that 3 times the number of people watch the 700 club as do MSNBC (which frankly *OUGHT* to be an indicator of just how truly kooky the progressive channel MSNBC is)... so what?

I point out the obvious absurdity of such logic and you throw - of ALL things - the No True Scotsman fallacy in my face. :doh :doh :doh

LOL. I suggest before you go any further with this ridiculously petty inanity, that you realize that all you're doing is opening the door and begging for someone to dredge up a similarly representative Progressive character, one with similar comedic and derisive qualities for scrutiny.

And trust me - there are a HOST of candidates that don't exactly throw a positive, rational light on progressivism either - kooks who may or may not reflect your own beliefs and ideology.

Is that what you really want?

Cough, cough...Ahem. Who would do anything like that?

 

[soccerboy22]

The tea party/religious right and its knownothingism now owns the conservative movement. There isn't a single conservative leader who isn't totally beholden to the philistinism and weirdness of the tea party or religious right. They really don't think anymore; they just repeat vapid rightwing memes about tax cuts and deregulation. Totally fact free rhetoric.

And there are people on the left that do the same.

Lots of us. Lots of times.

I want to publicize the intellectual bankruptcy and weirdness of the conservative movement. Don't blame me that your leaders are freaks who constantly say stupid, false and offensive things.

That's another trait of conservatives -- never taking responsibility for what they and their leaders say.

As to any rational conservatives, nope, they have been chased out of the conservative movement by the rightwing noise machines -- proclaimed as not really conservative. Any rational conduct is considered suspect by the machine.

As to your threat that you'll expose progressives using hateful and counterfactual rhetoric of the type spewed by Robertson and Limibaugh, BWHAHAHAHAHH - the rightwing noise machine spends half its time making such stuff up. You really can't come up with anything, so I call your bluff. Progressive leaders believe in science, reason, progress, inclusion -- conservative leaders call people sluts and allege that gays are secretly infecting people with AIDs'-delivery rings.

Jesus, man, take responsibility for your freakish leaders.

Start your own thread on that. But I'm unaware of any progressive leader that has a TV show and spouts such nonsense and hateful rhetoric like Robertson, Limbaugh and Hannity does.

It's a function of conservatism -- which is intellectually bankrupt.

Just another opportunity for use of a huge paintbrush and to be able to use the word meme. Virtually every post contains it. :wink:

He's yet to realize that not everybody fits into his little pigeon holes that make his view so... simple.

 

[Hypersonic]

Ah the No True Scotsman fallacy. It's the last bastion conservatives use to pretend to exclude the mutual weirdness they all share.

^This all day

More evidence of the quantum weirdness and xenophobia that is conservative ideology as conservative leader and former GOP presidential hopeful Pat Robertson says something stupid again:




Pat Robertson Suggests Gays With AIDS Wear Rings To Cut, Infect Others

not fair at all to lump that insane maniac in with "conservatives" I know many that would like to personally make this guy disappear.

anyway that mentally retarded moron has been a loon since the 70s! I remember him predicting the end of the world in the 80s or something. He is a nut cases and id instantly deem anybody that watches/respects him a bat**** crazy loon.

He also blamed lesbian witches for 9-11. But to deny he isn't a significant force among conservative circles is just wishful thinking. His weirdness is par for the course among conservatives, who have been totally "teabaggized."

Hasn't there been another whacky conservative that thought she was a witch?

BAHAHHAHAHHA! My favorite tea party freak.

Another conservative weirdo who ran for Senate and will do it again, a major tea party "leader" and spokeswitch.

Thankfully the topic is broader than your personal acquaintances. Like for instance including the GOP's presidential nominee.

 

[mak2]

Romney wasnt a real conservative anyway. That is why they lost, remember? Maybe next time they can find a real conservative, like Pat to run. I am sure that would work.

Isn't that the truth. The No True Scotsman trope is just a way for conservatives to promote more extremism not less.

and yet your blanket statement is still inaccurate, partasin and biased :shrug:
and your statement about me was false

pat is a loon
some conservatives are loons
