In reply to the discussion: Duped into voting for President Obama? [View all]stupidicus
(2,570 posts)I'm sure it's been rather clear to the discerning and educated reader (on the ongoing conflict between the purists and those playing jurists with BHO) that the selection and use of the "dupe" description in this top post wasn't intended to take any owndership of it, but rather to deny any and all ownership of it and to pin it on the opposition you've so tirelessly and stridently been combatting, because it could have been titled in one of numerous neutral ways.
why you're whining about getting the "reaction" you sought will have to remain a mystery, unless of course you think that all the positive reinforcement you also no doubt sought as a leader in this ongoing civil war around here shouldn't be adulterated by my observations and comments. That would merely be further confirmation of the "sit down and shut up Obama-haters" BS that has pervaded/permeated this board since well before the election when the conflict over his intent to put the safety nets "on the table" first arose, and the "name-calling" etc commenced by his disciples. That's how we know who/what camp is properly designated as the victim and victimizers.
For me to call you or those in your camp dupes (even as a failed master of subtlety) for having voted for BHO would have necessarily made me one as a BHO voter, which is why I noted to you as I recall months ago, that all the talk about us being "divisive/trying to throw the election/trolls/etc" because of our concerns/complaints about the safety nets "being on the table" before the election was hopelessly flawed, and could ONLY be seen as the method and means of censorship.
As "we" know, there are a great many "victims" around here of all that, but feel free to be of the "opinion" that it's just the product of our imaginations, much as you're free to deny that the title and content of this top post had anything to do with the ongoing battle over what is or isn't allowable as expressions of concerns about and criticisms of BHO. It's not my fault the Ministry of Tooth is getting bit in the posterior now that "on the table it is", leaving all prior rhetorical abuse wholly unjustified.
I must admit though, it is kinda amusing to see the "dupes" that were totally CONvinced BHO would never do such a thing despite the abundance of material that would lead one to a different conclusion under those circumstances, now trying to retain their superiority bona fides with examples of BHO's successes none of us criticizers ever denied or failed to acknowledge. That leaves nothing for the namecallers/victimizers but being wrong on the issue and the namecalling. It's even more amusing under these circumstances, to have them whining about the undisputedly abused, noting their prior and seemingly ongoing abuse.
you have a good day
