Grayson vows to file lawsuit on Cruz citizenship

154. I don't "think" you're anything. You're a 'bel fromage' representation of la vache qui rit,

I used to buy that on occasion when I lived overseas. Cute little foil wrapped packets of soft cheese!





I don't worry overmuch about what DUers do for a living.

But seriously, I think when you try to liken my curiosity about the definition of "natural born" with "attacking Jewish politicians" and "being comfortable" with what you are plainly suggesting is outright bigotry, you have put your foot in it. BADLY. Trying to smear someone as a racist because you can't make your point isn't cool. It's an emblem of failure, frankly. Talk about "stupid shit" (your term, not mine). And playing it off as an "example?" Naaah. That just doesn't cut it, either. You sought to be objectionable--and you succeeded. But in your success, you failed yourself.

In your eagerness to push in to make your point, you've gone WAY over the line of what most people would regard as civil discourse. I never insinuated that you were stupid or a racist, but that's you're go-to in conversing with me?




I don't GET "bothered" by stuff that goes on here at DU. You apparently do, though, if you have to resort to some of the cheaper tactics (like that beaut of a post, just above) to try and get a reaction out of me (sorry, fail on that 'un, too, sport). I will say I found your comments pretty disgusting and shameful, but that's on YOU, not me! Perhaps that is the kind of thing with which you are comfortable. To quote you!


Let's memorialize your thoughts, shall we? They shouldn't be allowed to disappear into the ether, in all their ugliness:

Oddly enough, I like discussing legal issues. If I were a photographer, I might seem to be inordinately interested in talking about photography.

I see this repeatedly on DU. Someone says some stupid shit, and when someone disagrees and discusses that disagreement, the reaction is "why are you so obsessed with it?" It's a dumb line of discussion.

But I cannot "prevent" anyone from doing stupid shit in courts. I can certainly point out stupid shit when I see it, and I can certainly point out your apparent ignorance of what it means to be a US citizen despite possession of another claim of citizenship elsewhere. Your line of reasoning on that point is normally used to attack Jewish politicians. Perhaps that is the kind of thing with which you are comfortable.

You seem to be bothered by someone who is interested in discussing a subject on a discussion forum, and you seem to delight in using cheap rhetorical devices to impugn the motives of others - as I do above by way of example - as a substitute for reasoned discussion.

Many US citizens are eligible to vote in elections of other countries, under the law by which those other countries run their elections. There is, to be sure, always a cadre of Americans who have some "true blue" definition of "real Americans". I recognize the pieces cut from that cloth when I see it, and suggest you put me on ignore if that bothers you.

You'd think you would have checked to find out if non-citizens could vote in Canadian elections before you tossed in that little bit about Many US citizens are eligible to vote in elections of other countries, too. I mean, really--a big old finger-wagging lecture, with that as an element of justification, and google at your fingertips... and you couldn't check on that one little fact?

If you are a lawyer, that kind of commentary isn't highly recommending of your talents.
