Thanks for the plagiarism. It is flattering.

However, considering the cogency of the thread, based on an op-ed in the form of a blog, this would be more appropriate...

Saving da liberals some time

You do know Bush did the same thing right..

Or

You hate him cause he is black

I think it is remiss to discount a post due to usage of identifiers.

I like color. It increases my understanding of the poster. I would much rather the Nazis wear the swastika - makes for a clear target.

I am not offended by any cutesie nickname tattooed on any political leader...& btw...I think Ike liked being called - Ike.

I'm sure you've had conversations where you are trying to convince somebody of something. If you are trying to get a message across to someone, if you really have a point that you want someone to understand, using Kenyan, preznit, etc. does not in any way help deliver the message.

And almost any time someone uses a face palm or tinfoil reference.... or multiple smileys.....the intent is obviously to mock those who disagree. Again, you will never convince someone by insulting them.

Of course, I realize that some have no intent of having a real conversation, they really just want to be insulting. But that's just the nature of the internet, the anonymity allows people to be a$$holes.

But a wise man once said, "The reason some people are a$$holes on the internet is because they really are just a$$holes in real life."

But BushBaby is fun and informative as a differentiator between the two ex-Presidents

I use to have fiendlishly clever letter response system that was used to point out how much the above was used.

Then one day, just like that, with no warning. They suspended me and said it violated something they called the TOS

The letter responses obviously didn't apply to everybody, but it was really amazing how often it fit for certain people.

very good explanation Benny...& I certainly appreciate your consideration to do so.

I respect your POV and clarify my stance = I am not one to minimize another's perspective. I do not intend my POV to override yours & I apologize if my phrasing indicated as such.

Please allow me to clarify my perspective = People which utilize insult to bolster their own opinion reveal a weak spot in their confidence. (or) As you stated - they just enjoy degrading another. I admit - I sometimes enjoy degrading another via insult. Don't know why but It makes me laugh.

(BUT) I don't think that negates the insult. Meaning - just bcoz I enjoy throwing the punch doesn't automatically render the target ...hmmmm....poof?! Vanished..?! & undeserved of the punch.

Additionally - I am fully aware there are azzholes ..everywhere....but...sometimes even the azzholes have a valid argument inside their barkvomit. I am too accommodating sometimes.....?

You are obviously irony-proof.

I understand what you mean. And you're correct, the message may be valid even though the delivery sucks.

And you better not be disagreeing with me any more. Remember, I know where you live. Well, I don't remember exactly where you live; but I'm pretty sure I can get within a 50 mile radius. Wait a minute, that comes to over 7500 square miles. Never mind, go ahead and disagree. You're safe.

I hope you find me coz you are always welcome in this house. ...
