Thanks bowser. by Robert 2012-01-25 12:51:34
- Any discussion here of "Nazi" political tactics is wrapped in such complete obliviousness about what those tactics actually were, that ... by TB 2012-01-25 17:28:45
  - Wow, a self-referential rant. Brilliantly ironic to parody rightwing extremism and knee-jerk smears as a vehicle to claim that the left is smearing the right. by Robert 2012-01-25 20:08:36
    - A perfect example. I referred to the Senators who pledged to block any Obama initiative as "Brownshirts", in reference ... by bowser 2012-01-25 23:50:50
      - How about a nice link to that "pledge" you seem so obsessed with? by TB 2012-01-26 09:47:12

        Didn't look very hard, did you? by Robert 2012-01-26 20:54:57
        
        I was looking for something significant, something that justified Bowser including it in almost every other post for months. ... by TB 2012-01-26 21:04:20
        
        You were attacking the very existence of the pledge to rebut bowser. The pledge turns out to be a fact. ... by Robert 2012-01-26 23:15:46
        
        I asked for a link. I got one. And it's obvious now why there wasn't one before. by TB 2012-01-27 15:06:20
        
        You lost me. Why wasn't there one before? by alcaray 2012-01-27 19:20:45

    - That response wasn't even coherent. by TB 2012-01-25 20:35:30
      - Yes, that's what I was saying. It was a rant, not a coherent argument. by Robert 2012-01-25 21:50:47
  - Hmmm. Similar to references to "planned economies" I think. by alcaray 2012-01-25 18:41:56

- Make things easy. Don't change the original rule. n/t by RobVG 2012-01-27 10:44:46
