Aug 2013

He also said the fascist coup dictators in Central America were like the founders of this nation.

Which just indicates what a fucking fascist Reagan was.

Sorry Brad, you're group 2 MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #1

As awful, awful as Bush was, at least he *asked* ProSense Aug 2013 #17

Which is appropriate to this post *how*? nt MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #20

In the same way as the one you posted. You should thank me for helping to give it exposure. n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #23

The OP refers to two classes of people, as did my reference MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #49

This seems like another effort to deflect attention away from the point of the OP mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #50

LOL! ProSense Aug 2013 #53

Your opinions are based on carefully-selected facts, at best mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #57

No, that's your argument ProSense Aug 2013 #64

Nonsense, and spare me the strawman pity. ProSense Aug 2013 #94

This is a pretty standard technique mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #183

You appear to be projecting. ProSense Aug 2013 #184

I'm attacking you because your "arguments" are dishonest mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #187

No, you're doing it because you have no rebuttal on the issues. ProSense Aug 2013 #188
