What, does he have me on ignore or something? Like that's going to stop me from saying anything.
No I just didn't see your post. Or maybe I was just trying to let this stupid crap die out? Funny how you keep pounding me with questions in a thread you say I cannot let go.
Ceeboo didn't start any "hostilities" with you.
Yes he did. His first post he deleted because it was full of so much bile. But I responded before he could delete it. Maybe you should try to pay closer attention, because it helps knowing what the Screw you're talking about.
He simply disagreed with your take that the ultimate responsibility for the shootings in Colorado Springs rested with the Right Wing nutters and their crap about PP. Ceeboo basically said that the responsibility rested with the shooter himself.
Yes, that was on Monday, and after condescendingly giving me his permission for me to hold my views as I see fit, he continued to belittle me for doing so because it was so "unfortunate," as if his was a morally superior position. But back to yesterday, he engaged me first as the record shows, and he flat out misrepresented what I said to get people riled up against me. When I explained why I said what I said, his response was just: "you're an idiot." As far as I was concerned the matter was dropped.
Two and a half hours later he dedicated an entire thread that consisted of nothing more than a dozen different reasons why he thinks I'm the shittiest person he's ever met, as if I give a rat's ass if he likes me. You're clearly friends with him and are taking a biased defense which is typical of you, but his excuse for starting a new thread doesn't hold water because it rests on the assumption that he needs to "address" things I said in my so-called "many tirades."
Ceeboo said, and I quote:
the PM would have been a viable option. But in this case, a PM would have left the many tirades that he posted at me, unanswered. And I felt, for several reasons, that they needed a reply.
Well, there weren't
any tirades, and even if there were, he addressed nothing. All he did was go off on a long-winded, righteously indignant rant explaining to the world all the many ways he despises me as a person. This leaves us with the only other explanation as to why he started the thread.
And keep in mind that I am the only one here not hiding behind a pseudonym, so if anyone has any motive to "set the record straight" when being publicly vilified, it is I, not some cow-licking holier-than-thou stranger who thinks he is impressing people with his self-righteous quips.
As to the issue at hand, I think his take is essentially what FOX News loves to say every time Obama stands up and condemns these tragedies. He and FOX always say the same stupid crap: "This is not the time to be political."
The “F” it isn't! This is precisely the time to be political, because after a week or so has passed everyone forgets the tragedy and then we're back to the same NRA driven mantra that dominates the discussions. He said that in this thread, that I was wrong to bring up politics in such a difficult time, as if that were evidence that he cares so so much about the victims and the families when in reality it is just an attempt to deflect culpability away from his political agendas.
The reason we need to raise the issue of reforming our culture of guns in a time of tragedy is because it is the only time Republicans come close to acting sane on the matter. I saw this with Megan Kelly last night. I was impressed because she showed signs of giving in to reason when she said, in the heat of the moment, that no matter where you stand on gun rights, it should be safe to say ALL AMERICANS ARE SICK OF THESE KILLINGS. What made her comment important is that it was the first time a FOX News host broke away from the usual narrative and began to solicit ideas for solutions. Of course her guests offered no solutions but instead started attacking the left. Ceeboo reminds me of every Republican dead-head who says this crap as a programmed response. Because we're only supposed to get emotional and politicize things like abortion. He's cool with that!
But why am I even trying to have a discussion about the issues in this thread? I've confused you two with people who actually give a damn. Ceeboo hasn't even made a half-hearted attempt to address the issue. He just wants to make sure no one tries to point out where this hateful rhetoric began, because he doesn't want to accept the hard truths about the despicable political world he lives in. I'll close by noting that Ceeboo is a whiner who cannot even fight his own battles or even try to win his own arguments. He needs you to fight on his behalf, maybe because you have the biggest dick of all.
