Right is wrong 02.14.04 (12:04 am)   [edit] I just can't stand it anymore. I wasn't going to bother with the silly propagandistic rhetoric of a certain blogger who is no longer allowing comments because I figured he likely just enjoys the attention. The only other possible alternative for the reason he posts such insanely anti-Left blogs is that he is, well, insane and honestly doesn't realize how ridiculous he sounds. I didn't think that was it, but lately that option is seeming more likely than the first. First off, there's the issue of censorship on tblog, as caused by the possibly insane. The issue was over another user posting the guy's email address, violating his privacy. What clearly isn't understood by the person whose sanity is in question is that he himself had his private email address readily available to anyone who wished to find it. The lovely Pulse Polls many have on their blogs show your email address if you select the options. So, it's not exactly violating your privacy if another person posts the address they found through your blog, is it? And I'm pretty sure that little threat at the end of Mr. Insanity's post on the matter is more worthy of legal action than posting an email address. Anyway, moving on, we have an attack against another tblog user in which the possible lunatic states the following: "Oh, because you have your own blog and you know how to cut and paste?" Apparently, cutting and pasting does not qualify one of being knowledgable or passing judgment on another, unless you are the writer of this statement. Hypocritical? You bet. Similarly, the previous post features this gem of a line: "That's how you know someone is a leftist-- they refuse to admit their allegations are wrong." Knowing the anti-leftist as I do from perusing his blog, if refusing to admit your allegations are wrong makes you a leftist, he sure as hell must be a leftist. I can only recall a few allegations made by the author that were actually accurate, and I don't recall him ever admitting his false allegations were, in fact, wrong. According to someone who could very well be insane, he doesn't generalize. He also, quite likely, doesn't realize that the following statement is saturated in derisive remarks that could very well equate to libel, if they were not mere generalizations. "Basically, if you are left of center you support lying as a means to get what you want. You disdain truth and honest debate. You hate facts, logic, and history. To you, disinformation means more than information. You cannot claim to be an American and love what this country is about and simultaneously say you're a liberal. For those on the Left are by default anti-American." Wow, anyone left of center is anti-American, by default. There's some good logic for you. Anyone who is a liberal cannot be an American? Sounds like someone wants to eradicate all liberals and encourage only his own beliefs. I for one think this person should be evaluated by a professional, should be encouraged to understand the viewpoints of others, and most importantly he should relinquish his position as the mud-slinging hate-filled right-winger of tblog.   posted by: SamAdams (reply) post date: 02.13.04 (9:19 pm) your blogger who equates everyone who is liberal or left as "anti-American" is very pathetic. "dissent" is the highest form of patriotism ... by thomas jefferson... those who want to promote the general welfare & fight tyranny are more like our founding fathers, than those callous to the poor, the homeless, the vulnerable, etc..-- and support a tyrannical government letting corporations take over our nation ... but then we live in strange times when people like ann coulter laud joe mccarthy as a hero ... jeez ... are we moving backwards in time or what? thanks for setting the record straight ... p.s. as far as cutting & pasting-- some of us have been forced to make our points using 'cut-and-paste' because longer blogs written by ourselves are rapidly shouted off the page by this type of right-wing pig. p.p.s. i don't know anyone who doesn't use paste-and-cut-- this ain't the n.y. times for goodness sakes. thanks, dragonbait22 ... posted by: therealspartacus007 (reply) post date: 02.13.04 (9:20 pm) "if refusing to admit your allegations are wrong makes you a leftist, he sure as hell must be a leftist" Lol, finally Yerian is coming out of the closet! "You cannot claim to be an American... and simultanesouly say you're a liberal."??? So I guess then that Abraham Lincoln in anti-American? Thomas Jefferson is anti-American? Martin Luther King is anti-American? Jeez, I think I need to buy a dictionary, because the definition of American has changed a lot since I last owned one. posted by: Nivek (reply) post date: 02.13.04 (9:43 pm) The Left/Right thing has to go. We need a rational alternative to what we have at present. I can't see how anyone can be totally Left or totally Right. Shouldn't every issue--albeit liberal or conservative--be judged with thought and reason, not merely following a party? Some people vote Republican because their father was a Republican; some people vote Democrat because their union tells them to vote Democrat. It's ludicrous and makes no sense whatever! One must think about what is right for themselves and their country and not just follow because "that's what I've always done". The propaganda is extreme this time around on both sides, and there's 9 months left... posted by: jimmytherighteous (reply) post date: 02.13.04 (11:50 pm) DragonBait, you're awsome. You thoroughly spanked Yerian's ass on this one. I hope you made him cry. posted by: whoisjohngalt (reply) post date: 02.14.04 (1:19 am) Remember folks, you are all as good as banned from Tblog. ;) posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 02.14.04 (6:33 am) Reply to: therealspartacus007 Shhh! You aren't supposed to say who this is about- you'll get me banned! And I suggest you go get yourself a first edition Yerian-speak Bible, I mean dictionary, and study it well. I think you'll learn that Lincoln, Jefferson, King, and all others who have ever held ideas that oppose Yerian's, were indeed anti-American. posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 02.14.04 (6:33 am) Reply to: jimmytherighteous Aww, thanks.
