The latest Teabagger nemesis: a 20 year old UN memo

[navkat]

People who lobby for use of air-conditioners to combat global-warming. It's a pretty radical cult. Batshit. I don't think their argument is very well though-out.

I'll have to try and remember my password over there sometime, so I can login and start poking 'baggers with sticks.

There's only 2.5 left.  They've had a rough election cycle.  There's TLB out of Phoenix, Frank out of Chicago very occasionally (hence the .5), and Klattu out of Crazytown.  There's 2-3 others, but they're actually sock puppets for Frank & Klattu.

I need to find a politics website that doesn't suck.  It's actually very hard to find one I like.  I either tend to get banned, or its so boring I can't stand being there.

As for the first type, I imagine that's because people who like to talk politics don't like to talk facts.

There is one website, for political scientists, which would be quite good, except that it allows total anonymity, and so descends into Godwin territory in about 5 seconds flat:

"Let's talk about Dan Drezner's Zombies and International Politics."

"Drezner is a Nazi.  And wannabe pundit, whose pop-culture references are annoying.  But mostly a Nazi."

And the rest are pretty much like this:

"Hi!  I'm a conservative!  Here's a conservative-approved talking point from conservative-site!"

"Hi!  I'm a liberal!  Here's a liberal-approved rebuttal from liberal-site!  Also, you're stupid."

"Hi!  I'm a conservative still!  Liberal media bias!  Also you probably rape puppies!"

"Do not!"

"Do too.  Your mum told me all about it last night."

I realize this is a very quick, simple reply and not anything that hasn't been said here before but for some reason, this spun me on a thought-surf this morning, Twiddles.

And then, there's that ever-present problem we talked about in other threads: labeling. As soon as I say I want to keep my drugs and guns but want to pay my taxes and don't care to see the birth certificate, the Neo Cons scream "Traitor!" and offer to pray for me and the Liberals scream "Backpeddler!"and call me a "wingbat."

New Nemesis:

Black Men Hugging is Proof of Communism.

Young Barak Obama gave a speech in support of Derrick Bell!  Shock!  Scandal!

...what do you mean, "who's Derrick Bell?"

He's the nefarious law professor who came up with the Marxist inspired theory that the enforcement with, and compliance of laws in regards to racial minorities might have something to do with levels of racial aminosity or lack thereof.

Scandal!  Shock!  Communism!  KENYANS!

This is a man so extreme that, as we've reported, he wrote a story in 1993 in which he posited that white Americans would sell black Americans into slavery to aliens to relieve the national debt, and that Jews would go along with it.

Wat. 

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Aliens have money?

[Elder Iptuous]

Aliens have money?

they have gold.
they put us here to mine it for them.
haven't you read your Zecharia Sitchin?!

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Nah. Whole nibiru thing is crazy talk.
