So you weren't trying for that "false sense of superiority" when you made this quip?

Since when are Canadians allowed to vote for the POTUS?
That wasn't you going for a false sense of superiority, assuming I hadn't gleaned that Digby is a Canadian?
And when I pointed that out, your response?
"Nice save
"Again, seems like you're desperate for a "false sense of superiority".

Why engage what I feel to be the more articulate Poster's when I could simply be trolling PN or correcting Whozit's grammar. When does that get fun?
Ah, so when you point out any grammatical errors that I might make, that's just you angling for a false sense of superiority again, right? So it's not that you don't enjoy a false sense of superiority, it's that you just want to make sure it's your particular brand.
By the way, you misspelled "separate" in your post.
Hey, you'd do the same for me, BigDamnWulfie.

BDN: Your responses to me in this thread have been wildly off-point, as have your responses to me in the other thread. I responded to the prediction discussion. You, poor thing, were still back at the starting line. Meanwhile I listed a set of MY predictions, in which- yes indeed- I had predicted the whole fascist thing. And furthermore, I predict again that the more that comes out about the Bush admin the worse and worse it will look.
Care to respond to that? Do you think that will come true, or not? A yes/no answer is sufficient, and a lot clearer than weasel-wording on your part
I further made the point that even as Bush was busy trampling the Constitution, lying to Congress, spying on US citizens, and hemorrhaging money you didn't object to it.. And if you did, do you care to point out where? Because, really, I can't think of a single instance, but I would be happy to be proven wrong. Just dig up ONE instance where you've criticized the Bush admin for any one of it's unmistakable errors, or made ANY sort of prediction about where his policies would lead.
BTW, an "if-then" statement is not an assumption. I shouldn't have to tell you that.

... and the further and further once-loyal Bushies will run in an effort to distance themselves from the abject failure of his Presidency.

That's the tricky thing about communicating on an internet forum. Sometimes things can get misconstrued as we are missing many of the nuances that help make communication more effective in real life.

If I was it must have been subconsciously. Perhaps I have seen other's (you) do it and somehow, unknowingly followed suit.

Well, in that case, Frem's already done that. If you're claiming that he DIDN'T lay the stuff out chapter and verse, then isn't it incumbent ON YOU to back up your claim, and show us all where he got it so horribly wrong?
I'm still waiting for Frem to show me where he got it right. Not tell me after the fact.

Oh I most certainly do. You do not like it when the mailman bites back.

You are right, this is an open forum. You can answer a question directed at Frem and I can hassle you over it. Besides, it makes me ponder that somehow you think Frem needs your assistance in debating the big, bad BDN.

I'm a fan of not mentioning the Officer's Mother.
So how far up Wulf's ass ARE you, anyway?]
Nice job of doin' your homework.
Ever see me lavish praise on Wulf like you do on Frem?
I do like to enter the water when the 'blue' sharks are circling the Wulf though. Or any other Poster who has the temerity to go against the prevailing flow of this place for that matter.

I would appreciate a direct response to my prediction, and to my request for a single instance of where you criticized the Bush administration or made a single prediction about where his policies would lead. Because for someone who keeps sayin' ANYONE could have predicted that! the problem is... you didn't.

Nope, just not sure if you had picked that up or not.

Please explain false to me in your words.

Again, what is all of this false stuff. How many times do I have to explain to you that you seem to only have an issue with certain Posters grammar. You will rip Finn all day about his typos but let other's like Storymark go with a free pass. So don't play the "I'm trying to make people better communicators" card. Seems like more of a partisan issue to me than a lack of understanding issue.

Cool. Now go through every other post in this thread and prove how impartial you are.

Right after you prove how impartial YOU are. Good luck with that.
Do I really have to go through EVERY post, or can I just start with yours? That should keep me busy for quite a while. You tend to misuse your "apostrophe-s" an awful lot, referring to multiple posters as "other's" when you're not trying to imply ownership.
By the way, you freely admit your partisanship - only coming around when "the blue sharks" are circling - yet you seem to want the rest of us to be nonpartisan. Does that seem right to you? I've never seen one single instance of you pointing out the errors of those on YOUR side of the argument. Why is that, do you think? Shouldn't you be proving to us all how impartial you are?

No, I just don't like gangs of bullies. Explain to me why you 'blue' Posters feel the need to parrot each others posts? I compare it to the guy who presses the elevator button even though it is already lit up. Kind of like something is not done until "I" do it.

Why, you seem to be doing a bang up job of criticizing all by yourself.
