Then scroll past it! I manage to find stuff in between a lot of retarded posts not just from Khorum - its really NOT that difficult.

What are y'all going to do when you run up against someone in the real world that you HAVE to be around that you cant stand? And that you actually cant block out because they have a voice and its one you actually MUST listen to?

Its an internet message board. Seriously. Not worth the angst.

If that many people are interested in having the conversation then perhaps the problem isn't the conversation but the few people who can't stand the fact that the conversation is taking place.

Violence.

Also true. My only point was the ignore function for all intents and purposes is non-functional, so it shouldn't be used as a counter point(you can ignore them!).

Its not even close hillbilly. Republicans have monopolized distortion and lies. Democrats are completely out of their league. It is very difficult to convince red state middle class folks that they are being used politically by a party that wants to rape them. Listening to the RNC you would think it was the republicans who have fought BIG OIL and will stand up to these big oil companies. Outright bold faced lies. The republicans are the oil companies.

Oh here we go again with Dumbass, I mean Badass. No wait, do I really mean Dumbass? *sigh*

Khorum's behavior is the equivalent to shouting someone down. He is trying and it is his objective to make talking on here as hard for others as possible. He double/triple posts to force pages to roll. He's made direct racial attacks against others posters which Tuco promised would draw a permanent ban, but he hasn't followed up.

There's being ignorant, disruptive, lying, distorting, being overtly racist, and then there is being malicious. When you're all of the above, you should be gone. *shrug*

Don't think anyone is claiming either.

However, if the Democrats shoveled as much shit as the Republicans have in the past decade just to win and keep elected office, they wouldn't have lost in 2004 and probably not in 2000 either.

Seriously? When in the real world am I going to be forced into proximity with a person who screams sand-nigger and throws time magazine articles at me about britney spears while telling me it proves Obama is a Muslim?

Your logic is terrible.

[Sirena]

I don't want Khorum banned, but it is a bit annoying to see his misrepresentations being accepted as fact. But then, who's to blame for that: the speaker or the listener?

Luckily numerous people have pointed out that his links most of the time actually debunk what he claims, not confirm it.

Oh yeah, new sig. Thanks Khorum!

Tell me sir since you seem to have much corporate experience, what youd do with your boss at a company party who you overheard make a joke to a colleague involving the n word?

Do you have many coworkers that "throw articles" at you? Or are you perhaps handed something or is it posted? If an offensive cartoon was emailed to you at work that everyone at your office was also emailed what would you do?

Do your friends ever say "here read this it says x" when it really says y?


Youre on track for a heart attack before 40. Grow up and chill out dude.

All this shit happens on a daily basis. They had the palin announcement on tv in the break room here and im serious the way some of my superiors and coworkers were talking it made me want to take a shower.

Not because of what they said but because of how they said it. And we were celebrating someones bday and so I couldn't leave I HAD to listen to it. I dealt with it I ignored it and I actually trolled em a little bit.

Its called life. Its not always pretty but learn to get keyed up about things that actually fucking matter, k?

Thats half the fucking posters here..I love posts like yours, could you possibly have more sand in your vagina? Seriously.

If you don't believe his posts, then don't fucking pay attention to them. I see tons of dip-shits here post about "facts" every day who obviously don't have a god damn clue what they are talking about. You want to know why that happens? Because this is a fucking message board..This isn't a seminar where political strategists/scientists are meeting, you shouldn't expect everything to be gospel, rather, you should expect opinions, just because his seem more informed is no reason for you to cry.

The sheer amount of bullshit posted on here is crazy...But hey, as long as its not contrary to what you believe, you should be for it right?

It will be a sad fucking day if posters like IRB and Khorum are banned..You guys may blame them for the "problems" in politics, in the world even and hell, I would agree with you, except I realize one thing..People like them are what fuel discourse, they are what drive conversation, they add passion to politics. Every single one of you here is more involved because you hate Khorum than you would have been without him...

I can't stand IRB, but it would be a cold day in hell before I would ask for a ban due to a political discussion. (Now, if it were because he was an asshole in a RIP thread, ok.) I don't believe people like IRB have a place in congress (IE and professional level.), but here, talking? Absolutely, a non-political person being upset enough to engage in political conversation is fucking golden for everyone, wake up and realize that.

This is very true. The american middle class, and god forbid - the educated class, has been under full blown assault for the past 8 years. The last two democratic presidential candidates were poor politicians who were not tough enough to stand up and call a lie a lie.

I am holding out hope that Americans really havent regressed to being proud of their ignorance...that they have just been turned off by the poor candidates of the past and therefore easily coaxed to vote against their own self interest.

There are no excuses for buying into the conservative pipe dream any longer. And if Republican's win this election....again.... it will be a testament to the full blown regression of rational progressive thought in the U.S.

We are going to wake up in 3 years and find abortion illegal, the disappearance of the middle class, full blown cold war II, gas at $8 a gallon and a ultra right wing political nominee from Alaska as the leader of the free world.

[Tristinn]

Khorum has become nothing but a characature of a psychotic 25%er. It used to be sort of funny... but it has just become extremely depressing. Khorum, you are making this thread too depressing to look at. Please leave.
