Just amazing. If there was any doubt left in my mind, it would be gone; Rap unquestionably either deliberately talks shit to get attention or is the most ignorant, blind person we've ever had here. Given that there have been myriad facts and figures provided to show both Romney's AND Obama's untruths, in several threads, and he goes right on insisting that Romney didn't lie, giving some absurd explanation and continuing to say vile things about Obama which have absolutely no basis in fact. How can any human being BE like that? Is he truly and really a representation of the far right...are they actually that deliberately ignorant?
Yeah, there have been lots of disagreements, Rap's been called names and has said astonishing and ugly things before, but for me, this one takes the cake. Such deliberate, unblinking insistence on never acknowledging the truth blows my mind anew...and yes, that was even possible (tho' I didn't think so).
I can see insisting on something, given the psychological stuff people have put up from time to time about how people being given the facts will cling to the untruths even stronger, but this is MANY things, each one carefully debunked with facts and figures by MANY sources...not just the "librul media". It's now pretty much an accepted thing that Romney lied his way through the debate, and Obama lied too. What kind of person...
Oh, shit, why bother. I've been here before. I guess there really ARE people as amazling ignorant as Rap, or as desperately in need of attention that they'll stoop so incredibly low. Why on EARTH does anyone here want to even acknowledge the insane things he says?
The more I see of humans, the more I love my dogs.

Thing is Mitt had been making the claims the President said he had. Mitt also lied many times during the debate.
....oh, that's right Rappy you said before you don't care about fact checking.
I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

The funny thing is, if people are JUST NOW making up their minds about who to vote for, and they do it on the basis of how a person "sounds" then their vote is pretty meaningless. People like to call themselves "independent", but what that really means is wishy-washy, thoughtless, reactive.
We're in the midst of the biggest die-off since the dinosaurs, but since most people are distracted by shiny things and their timelines cover about 1 month, they won't notice until it's too late. So in the grand scheme of things, the debate is pretty pointless since neither candidate can afford to focus on our REAL problems.

The REAL problems of this nation & world can be found in Rappy's every post. He and most people mean well, but they're as lead-able as sheep. Hence the popular term.

Wow! You really must be hitting that bottle of Romulan Ale extra hard today. Pray tell...what can be found in your posts besides irrational intolerance towards Conservatives?

Yes.
POLL: Most Republicans Still Believe That Iraq Had WMD | A new poll conducted by Dartmouth government professor Benjamin Valentino found that 63 percent of Republican respondents still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the United States invaded in 2003, even though this assertion has been thoroughly debunked. In comparison, only 27 percent of independents and less than 15 percent of Democrats believed in the misinformation. Additionally, 64 percent of Republican respondents believe that President Obama was born in another country. As the Huffington Post’s Dan Froomkin notes, “this latest poll result seems to indicate a refusal — unique to the modern Republican Party — to acknowledge facts.”

"I supported Bush in 2000 and 2004 and intellegence [sic] had very little to do with that decision." - Hero
"I was wrong" - Hero, 2012
Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"
Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

Quote:I think what Chris has is a rational intolerance of irrationality. Rappy is flat out irrational. To be even-handed, so is CTS. When I find people who are completely unwilling to look at facts... particularly facts that they don't like .... I find there is no point even talking to them. So, which one are you? Irrational or rational?

Why bother to ask that question? I must be irrational since you, my kind and dear old friend of six years, can't even acknowledge my name with my posts these days.
And Chrisisall is as rational as an Arcturian dogbird...(irrational Star Trek reference). He should be appointed Sheriff of Serenity...(irrational Galactica reference).
