"President Bush on Monday lauded U.S. troops as "an awesome bunch of people" and lamented that some of them have had to die in defense of freedom."

Meanwhile Obama uses Memorial Day to say fallen soldiers are pussies who don't deserve recognition, saying we should instead heap glory on those who survive: "One of the best ways that we can honor our fallen soldiers is to honor those who came back, who survived."  Then he went on to say he's only grateful for the service of veterans who attend his campaign rallies, and will only stick up for them, letting all the other vets twist in the wind: "And so, to all the veterans who are here, I am grateful to your service and as president of the United States I will not let you down."  Then he said he wants to take benefits away from grandparents and give them to his cadre of military loyalists: "We should make sure that today’s veterans get the same benefit that my grandfather got when he came back from World War II."

Disgusting.

Bush says stuff?

Meanwhile Obama uses Memorial Day to say fallen soldiers are pussies who don't deserve recognition, saying we should instead heap glory on those who survive: "One of the best ways that we can honor our fallen soldiers is to honor those who came back, who survived."  Then he went on to say he's only grateful for the service of veterans who attend his campaign rallies, and will only stick up for them, letting all the other vets twist in the wind: "And so, to all the veterans who are here, I am grateful to your service and as president of the United States I will not let you down."  Then he said he wants to take benefits away from grandparents and give them to his cadre of military loyalists: "We should make sure that today’s veterans get the same benefit that my grandfather got when he came back from World War II."

Disgusting.

Someone gets a ticket?

Call her "sweetie."  It's a term of endearment.

The other one I was thinking about turns out to not be Obama, but what appears to be another yawner joke implying that people rag on Hillary out of misogynism

yeah, it's crazy because the mistake was so serious she actually apologized

then she thought better of it and is backpedaling to her normal attack pattern

no

she didn't apologize

she apologized if we got upset at her comments, she did not apologize for the comments themselves

she did that headfake apology juke

I hate it when chicks do this.

Then of course the ::) Mandark debate.

AdmiralViscen: BTW, who got that ticket again, and why might I therefore have made that comment, in context?  Stop being a douchebag.

The point is that you're carrying your Obamaniac GAF trolling here when this place isn't loaded with Obamaniacs in the first place. Hence, give it a rest.

Of course, I already noted that I had lumped the third joke into the Obama ones because it's the same yawnfest APF schtick. I guess I should have thought much harder before typing out that 4!

It's just, I don't know what you're so angry about.
Title: Re: President Bush today lauded U.S. troops as "an awesome bunch of people"
Post by: AdmiralViscen on May 26, 2008, 07:22:44 PM
I'm not angry. But it gets annoying to see someone who is capable of making a variety of posts bringing his GAF rut into Evilbore.

On GAF it was funny because those people need a reality check, here it's just peculiar. And today, tiring.

No, this is you having so little of significance in your life that you need to leap on something you assume must be a negative post against your boy, when in reality it was more a joke on myself.

LOL, ok dude. "Give it a rest" is clearly a meltdown.

You've made an internet career out of leaping on person X over issue Y. All I'm suggesting is you change the value of Y now that you've lost your audience.

My career is in an entirely different venue.

"Relax" is the right idea though.  I ~troll Obama there (more, troll myself).  Who gives a fuck?  Why do you give a fuck?  What difference does it make to you?  Why even let it get to you in the first place?  Why are you so emotionally involved?  Do you think I'd give a fuck if any of the pro-Obama folks from GAF came over here and started trolling Hillary?  Why would I give a damn?

this is you having so little of significance in your life that you need to leap on something you assume must be a negative post against you in defense of my boy, when in reality it was more a comment that I liked your pre-primary posts on GAF and your Obamaniac ribbing on GAF and would like to see your pre-primary posts on Evilbore instead of your Obamaniac ribbing.

lol

Though if these are all jokes on yourself I guess I'm not getting them. I kind of go back and forth on thinking highly of you and thinking you just need someone to battle constantly, before this convo I was doing the former.

I wasn't.

It's just that anyone who provides the smallest obstacle to anything you might be thinking or doing immediately comes under a full broadside attack. My awareness of this is why I didn't bring this up before. And should have prevented me from bringing it up now, obviously.
