There's nothing there behind the facade. No sense of self, of history, ancestry, no roots, no nothing. He's been groomed by others to be what he is today, he's allowed himself to be defined by others and found himself forced to live up to those definitions even though his heart isn't in it. There is nothing there, no one. He's lost and floundering because he never was anybody real to begin with. He has no more an idea of what it is to be black in America then he does what it is to be anything in America. He's the black kid who was raised to be white, the white kid who was forced to be black, he has no father, not much of a mother, raised in Hawaii, which is literally as far from mainstream America as it gets in this country, eased through school, never had to work for anything, earn anything, do anything hard.

That you defend the likes of Breitbart, Loesch, et al. already shows me you're not even remotely acquainted with the concept of honor.

Andrew Breitbart, Dana Loesch, Dan Wolfe, Jim Hoft, Sarah Palin, et al., are why the Republicans are going to lose in 2012. They are so narcissistic and egotistical, so Godless and immoral, they don't care. These shallow, vapid, dishonorable people are always and only about their own egos. They haven't a shred of honor or decency in their bodies. They are EVERYTHING that is wrong with this country today. They shame good Americans, they shame us all.

The FACT?? Prove it. You can prove this? Should we alert the FBI, who is now investigating, that you have PROOF, irrefutable PROOF that he send her this photo? Tue, 31 May 2011 16:13:28 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/lstranahan/2011/05/30/weinergatethe-would-your-spouse-buy-it-test/#IDComment157867175 http://bigjournalism.com/lstranahan/2011/05/30/weinergatethe-would-your-spouse-buy-it-test/#IDComment157865696 Talkin' about yourself again, wolfboy? Yeah, we know. We know you won't believe anything that runs counter to the opinion you've already formed. We get it. You don't have to tell us this is who you are -- you've already shown us. Tue, 31 May 2011 16:07:49 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/lstranahan/2011/05/30/weinergatethe-would-your-spouse-buy-it-test/#IDComment157865696 http://bigjournalism.com/lstranahan/2011/05/30/weinergatethe-would-your-spouse-buy-it-test/#IDComment157864057 You are a filthy racist. Filthy. You are a piece of sh!t.

That's why.

Tue, 31 May 2011 14:33:55 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/lstranahan/2011/05/30/weinergatethe-would-your-spouse-buy-it-test/#IDComment157838073 http://bigjournalism.com/lstranahan/2011/05/30/weinergatethe-would-your-spouse-buy-it-test/#IDComment157837515 He didn't send the photo. To continue to assert he did means you're a dishonest, dishonorable piece of garbage, and any woman who has anything to do with you is a slatternly, slutty old whore. Tue, 31 May 2011 14:32:26 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/lstranahan/2011/05/30/weinergatethe-would-your-spouse-buy-it-test/#IDComment157837515 http://bigjournalism.com/lstranahan/2011/05/30/weinergatethe-would-your-spouse-buy-it-test/#IDComment157837149 In this case, yes, I'd believe Rep. Weiner. Just the mere fact that Breitbart, the most dishonorable piece of sh!t on the planet, is involved means this story is completely unbelievable. The right proves over and over and over again that they are dishonest, dishonorable, Godless, unholy, immoral animals when it comes to politics. They will lose because of their pride and the sleazy, sh!tty acts of dishonor they perpetrate in the name of that pride. Pride is Satan's, and that is why the right will fail. Sorry, but I believe Weiner BECAUSE of the people on the right who are involved.

Each time I was met with cheap name calling and accusations of all kinds rather than honest, reasonable responses. Frankly, if the userstats on a web board are your basis for how well or how poorly you treat others, you'd do better to stick to World of Warcraft in the future. I gave up on the sincerity of those on this thread with about the sixth or seventh time I was called names and even accused of being a child abuser because someone erroneously thought I was a liberal. From now on, y'all will get treated the same way you treated me -- golden rule, and all... Frankly, if Mr. Brietbart is so high on paying out money for documentation that Tea Party members are nothing but a bunch of mangy old trailer trash blow hards, he should take a quick read through of his own comboxes and then write a check to himself. Good day.

I asked why defend the use of a tactic you decry as underhanded on the part of the Republicans? You seem to think it's only wrong when liberals/Democrats do it. If you're perfectly capable of rational response and discussion, why do you continue to refuse to engage in it and resort to name calling instead? Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:18:17 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88116063 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88115749 Affirmative action in itself is not necessarily racist. Affirmative action could be applied to gender considerations, orientation situations, etc. The thinking behind affirmative action is that we have a moral obligation to right wrongs we have perpetrated. That I agree with, and I have supported some affirmative action programs in the past. I do believe, however, that we've "caught up", if you will, and there is no longer a need for any sort of affirmative action programs -- current laws supercede a need for that kind of program. Also, remember that, whether you approve of affiirmative action or not, the very notion came about because of the blatant racist laws on the books that actively and openly worked towards the oppression of others because of skin color, gender, etc. Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:15:37 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88115749 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88102766 No, exactly -- this is a reprehensible tactic and it has been used by the Obama campaign and administration. My question to you is why use the same tactic or defend its use by Republicans, then? Again, a serious, rational question, and yet all you can do is name call and make unfounded accusations. Are you capable of a thoughtful response or rational discussion, or are you going to continue to resort to more name calling? Ball's in your court -- intellgent response or babyish name calling -- what's it going to be? Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:45:07 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88102766 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88102235 Wow, paranoid much? LOL!! Dude, it's gonna be okay...seriously... I have repeatedly asked for calm, rational debate, yet you claim I'm trollling for angry responses. Well, here's a thought -- how about responding rationally and calmly instead of childishly and angrily? I mean, you're accusing me of soliciting angry responses, responding angrily, and then blaming me for your angry responses...are you for real? LOL! Is this the best you can do? Yes, you think I'm silly. Gotcha again. So why keep responding, then? You don't want to discuss, you think I'm silly, an elitist and all kinds of terrible, horrible, bad, awful things, you claim I'm trolling and trying to get angry responses from you, yet....drum roll, please...you keep coming back with angry comments!! Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:41:52 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88102235 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88100105 Yes, we can all see that your usual response is to resort to third grade level name calling. Why you're proud of that, I can't even begin to imagine. Your parents must be so proud... Your name calling responses and dismissing me as silly or an elitist rather than attempting to discuss anything in an adult manner constitute "shouting" and "running away" in internet social interaction. I insinuate nothing. I state that those who play tit-for-tat with those who race-bait or are racists are essentially becoming the very thing they claim they're against. If a person claims another is a racist based soley on that person's political affiliation, then they're guilty of a similar bigotry. I'm currently following several people whose names have been discussed in the context of the 2012 presidential elections, but none of them are declaring yet, obviously, so who knows who I'll end up supporting. In the last presidential election, I voted for McCain, although he was not my first choice for the Republican ticket.

Yes, I started this discussion based on your comments and you don't want to discuss in return. Okay. Fine. Gotcha, too. Discussion not wanted, not welcome by you. I am more than clear on this now. Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:59:44 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88096341 http://biggovernment.com/gbenson/2010/07/21/breitbart-didnt-hide-sherrods-redemption-and-other-things-the-medias-gotten-wrong-so-far/#IDComment88096107 Okay. Gotcha.

Where did I say I support Obama? Thing is, every single opportunity you have to discuss anything, you run away after shouting names and making dishonest claims about others. Here's your chance -- what is it you think I believe that you disagree with?
