Sort of like Zel Miller being ashamed of the tactics of the Democratic
party?


That's an excellent comparison, and it's rather frank of you to admit that

the
dirt is a "tactic" of the Republican party.


Where did I admit that?


If there has been a groundswell of liberal attacks on Miller, however,

I've
missed it.


Lets just wait until he speaks at the Republican Convention.



You don't have to go any farther into the world than this little NG to see
right wingers insulting McCain ("whiner", etc)
for trying to promote some sort of honesty in presidential politics.


I recall you and the other libs attacking something the Zel Miller said when
it was posted on this board.

Hypocrite.

Guess again.
I don't recall ever attacking Zel Miller. Or anything he said.

That's a good tactic, although you need to
add a technique or two. Most discussions with you wind up with, "Oh, yeah? You
don't have a leg to stand on because even though my side is lousy your side is
worse!" Or, a Clintonesque word game (such as "I said major").

Yes, I do as a matter of fact. They were Republicans who took advantage
of bank deregulation that was pushed by Ronnie Raygun.

Cost the country billions of dollars in a bailout.

Since Keating was a rich Republican with lots of interests in Arizona,
it's only natural that McCain would've been in the dole queue.


"It's only natural" is great justification.

An argument can be made that it should have been the Keating Three. The
independent counsel at that time, recommended both McCain and Glenn be
dropped from the investigation. It clearly wasn't McCain's finest

moment,
but perhaps, it made him a better Senator. His judgment hasn't been
perfect, but he appears to be a man of honor.

This is what is called "argument by assertion." It's just one small step
removed from "circular reasoning." In the simplest terms, the mere fact that
you repeat your assertion over and over does not make your statement true. It
certainly does not make for a cogent argument.

I'd rather see you substantiate your own claim. You see, by refusing to do
something as trivially easy as providing a link to a post from Gould to prove
your statement, you create the impression that you were either intentionally
misrepresenting (the technical term for this is "lying") or that you were
mistaken.

If the latter, it is easy to correct the misstatement. An admission of error is
viewed by many to be a sign of good character.

If it's the former, well, that's a sign of character, as well.

I just googled and got 76 hits. Don't you know how to google Chuck?

Apparently not well enough.

It turns out I was wrong. Somebody suggested a slightly different Google
technique, and I did find one post, from 2002 in which I referred to Zell
Miller in an extremely neutral manner.

(There were about 5 posts that used the word "miller", but most of them have to
do with a local boat yard, not a politician.)

Actually, I merely copied and quoted the words "Zell MIller" from a post by a
conservative who was playing some juvenile "gotcha" game by posting a Zell
Miller quote, and then asking everybody to guess which Democrat had made the
statement.

My "attacking comment" was an evaluation of the statement, not Mr. Miller
I posted, "It sounds more like something a conservative Republican might say".
That's certainly not a case of ganging up with the moderates on this board to
attack Zell Miller. One could make case that Zell Miller has been invited to
speak at the Republican convention precisely *because* he sounds like a
conservative Republican.

If you'd be willing to stipulate that sounding like a conservative Republican
is such a horrible thing that accusing somebody of doing that is an "attack,
and an insult"....
I'd be intersted to see you take this discussion in that direction.

Sorry, but you're wrong again, Jim. I have never attacked Zell Miller in the
NG, and searching the Google archives where you claim the evidence resides
yields *nothing* similar to your description. It's time for you to fess up to
your error, put up your proof, or shut up and slink away from this issue.

You're further right than a lot of moderates in the Republican Party.

jps




Zell Miller is a Dixiecrat, the sort of right-wing extremist asshole the
Democratic Party expunged in the 1960s. These idiots gravitated to the
GOP, which welcomed their smallmindedness with open arms, and they
became the GOP southern strategy. Some Dixiecrats, like Miller and
California bill, never bothered to change their parties. Bill, like
Miller, is a Republican.

Zell Miller hasn't been a Democrat in years. He uses his political
position and a fulcrum and pulpit. Few Democrats pay attention while
the Republicans all hail.

Zell and Calf Bill are twins.

He is older. We are moderates. You do not have to be an extreme lefty

Harry S. Truman was an extreme righty also.

Zell Miller is a moderate Democrat. He backed Clinton in 1992 thinking they
shared the same views, but later regretted it because of the way the party
moved so far left during Clintons terms in office.. He now sees the
Republican party closer to the center than the Democrats and is therefore
speaking at the Republican Convention.

The Democratic Party is indeed far left....as you are. And quite obviously
anyone who does not agree with you politically is an idiot. You have no
compassion, you cannot compromise and never accept views proposed by the
other side. Basskisser would say you have "Democratic blinders" on.

You indeed live in a black and white world Krause. Where in the universe is
your world located?

Then you would be wrong.

That's easy to measure.

Which of the crew members who served on Kery's boat, other than the

guy
who's
dead, does not support him?


More than half of them.

Huh?

I'm pretty sure it's 11 of the 12 he served with (on two boats).

NONE of the swiftboatvetsfortruth of whatever the hell they're called
served with Kerry.

jps

Hey...*I* was on active duty in the Navy in 1967-1969.

*I* must have served with Kerry, too!

Joe Parsons


So, the difference is that you're not politically motivated to
participate in a character assassination pig pile?

I find it interesting that 250 guys who didn't know Kerry are willing to
step up to heap bad juju on him while NO ONE will show up to vouch for
Bush not being AWOL.

Irony? I think so!

jps


I will bet they knew Kerry. Swiftboats would have been a tight group. Sort
of like a squadron in the air force. You knew most of the people in the
unit, even if you did not work directly with them. You missed out on the
military experience.


Still doesn't seem right that NONE of the men who served beside and
under Kerry would share the opinion of 250 others guys who WEREN'T on
the boat with him.

Doesn't that strike you as meaningful?

And you are a leftist liberal asshole, that is foul mouthed and lives off
the leftist teat. An example of the **** that has taken over the Democratic
party. The give me everything, and I will take care of you. The no
personal responsibility segment. We, the people who are brilliant graduates
of some liberal arts program know better than you that either did not go to
a liberal arts school or graduated with a non liberal arts degree, describes
your attitude. I do not care who runs for president, as long as he is a
"Democrat" and I can make money from him. That is an accurate description
of Harry Krause. I can steal money from the union pension fund, as it does
not cost the union member anything. As you stated in an earlier post. You
are the controllers of the Democratic party, that have put up the crap like
Kerry. A liar. And a person guilty of war crimes via his testimony of
shooting a wounded VC and burning villiages and killing the livestock. Yup.
Your kind of person.

Sure there is a difference. You are always retreating to the fecal realm
when you lose an argument. Me, a Science Degree person, know when to get
foul to make a point. So the bonding company covered your union theft? And

Jim,

I do not understand your problem with Gould 0738, while he seems to be very
liberal, he is one of the few people in here who contributes to off topic
posts who does not sound like a 4th graders in the playground calling each
other names.

Since it seems off topic posts will continue to be a mainstay in rec.boats,
it would be nice if they were intelligent and not the same tripe that is
repeated by the majority of off topic posters. I mean how many times can
you say "you are stupid", "no I am not, you are", "I am witting and smart,
but you are a buttwipe".

Very interesting. Wouldn't you think that if I had attacked Zell Miller

in
the
NG, I would have had to use either the words "Zell" or "Miller" ?

Hypothetical question of the day: Would it be worse to
be discovered to be incorrect, or to appear to be telling a deliberate
falsehood in order to cover up an honest mistake? Do they shoot right

wingers
for being wrong, or something?



I just googled and got 76 hits. Don't you know how to google Chuck?

I like Chuck. Yes, he is very liberal and he has every right to hold that
political stance. But I will take him to task on his posts that I disagree
with.

My posts do not generally degrade into the childish insults you mention.
Krause, jps and Basskisser are the ones you should direct your comments to
as they are the main offenders.
