I think lying is unethical. He pandered to the moderates with his facebook post by saying his stance wasn't political when it obviously was.

barack hussein obama is a self-avowed community organizer. to call someone who points this out a 'birther' is the equivalent of an ad-hominem attack, given the reputation birthers have. an ad-hominem argument fallacy is where you insult the person you are jousting with, rather than responding with a rational argument.

the conventional leftist attack on their opponents is to lump them into a group, label them (birther), and then call for an end to the discussion. exactly what you did above.

"apparent" "obviously"

since things are apparent and obvious to you, you should probably go ahead and tell us what I support and and what partisan agenda i obviously subscribe to. come on, tell us

ok, NOW it'll get shut down. Thanks, sva.

But can I PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE point out the irony of the last sentence, where he lumps a group of people into a group by calling them "conventional leftists" then complain about them lumping people into a group?

C'mon, you can't make that stuff up

I WANT THE LAST WORD ON THIS!!!!!! please?

Maybe we should ask these girls for the inside scoop.




I think Thomas needs to protest fake tans. THAT we can all agree on.
