Obama will use Memorial weekend for a trip home to Chicago

[me]

Let's see, HH and I have been called bigots, racists, idiots, nazi's, and a score of other things for having differences of opinions and told our sources were not good enough.  Anyone who doesn't agree with the current administration is also said to be hate mongers and uneducated....shall I go on?  Look in the mirror guy's just look in the mirror. 

  Well I know I can't understand and from what I can see not many other normal  people can understand you. 

You're right, me, I don't. I don't think it's worth the effort of connecting dots when there isn't a picture.

The name-calling technique links a person, or idea, to a negative symbol. The propagandist who uses this technique hopes that the audience will reject the person or the idea on the basis of the negative symbol, instead of looking at the available evidence.

The most obvious type of name calling involves bad names. For example, consider the following:

    * Commie
    * Fascist
    * Pig
    * Yuppie
    * Bum
    * Queer
    * Terrorist

There's a difference between personal attacks and broad statements that cut a swath through humanity. . . Learning the difference can extend your life span. . .

How can calling HH and me that in posts be considered a broad statement?  Also why is it different to call a group of people that than to call an individual that?  There is no basis for calling any group that who is opposed to the policies of this administration any more than there was for those who opposed the Bush administrations policies.  The Bush administration didn't try to silence their critics or "teach" them.  They didn't demonize or try to discredit those who opposed.  Why is it different now?  Why are those who have different opinions suddenly uneducated and ignorant?

fist of all, ME and I, are the only ones on here that are reading this....this is NOT a nationwide filled forum, there are a handful of us who are here regularly, so who else is it aimed at?...your only point is to slam us....or at least that is the way I take it....maybe I"m wrong....but, I do take these attacks as somewhat personal...for that reason...

Huh, and here I thought California, Illinois, Indiana, and a host of other states did constitute a nation. Silly me, guess I need reprogramming. . .

So, jow is "me" missing the first post in the thread and how is "me" excluding herself from being guilty of the same behavior she's accusing everyone else of, from the later part of the thread?

Think me think.

I made the first post in this thread and I wasn't calling anyone anything, in fact, I didn't even make a comment about it at all.

So, you had no intentions whatsoever, even if you've never had a nice thing to say about Obama. As a matter of fact, you've never had a neutral thing to say.

Be that as it may, if your intentions were honestly benign, then why put this in the unmoderated area?

Your actions speak for you, when your words don't AND you didn't stop w/the first post.

  The time I've been on the Zone, anytime "ME" mentioned Obama it was bad, smart Ass, sneer or a setup to say something bad about him.  I have never heard her say anything good about Obama, the Democratic Party or the Unions.

  Even tho, she is or has receive the benefits of what the Democrats and the Union have done for her and this country.

  When I came on the Unknown Zone, my first questions were, name 5 things the Republican Party has done for the working man or woman.  The only answers I got was, cut taxes, cut taxes, cut taxes.  Not one other thing.

  After "ME" voting for George W. and Dick Cheney twice and for the old fart John McCain and the brain Sara Paylin, I can't consider her an authority on anything political.  After what her Republican Party and their greed and their way of thinking has put the country so close to a Hoover Depression it isn't even funny.  What is so bad is, it isn't over yet and the Republicans walking in lockstep (goose step) and saying NO to everything isn't helping.

I put it here because I knew what the reaction was going to be so I figured I'd make it easy on ya.  HH and I both started out disliking congress and you all told us it was Obama we didn't like, well, now it is some of Obama's policies we don't like which still has nothing to do with the man.  You just keep proving Y's point over and over but you still don't see it.
