ET's political forum has gone lunatic fringe

  1. You're pretty naive if you think posting on ET's P&R is plugging a dike. More like plugging a dyke.

    Do you have a clue HOW FEW PEOPLE read this shite? An audience in the dozens. You could add a comment under an article on the NYT's site and I'd estimate several thousand people would read it. P&R's viewership is more akin to a chat room than a "forum." Here I am wasting time to write something that will be read by all of 39 unique viewers.

  2. Thank you. Sometimes when we get caught up in the details it's easy to lose perspective. And so, I'll try to take comfort in the notion that the big picture looks different.

  3. From another thread I learned ZOG is no more. High five to thunderdog :cool:

  4. Two self celebratory douchebags raving that someone was banned who they disagree with. You guy's should work for Obama on the ban-Rush and Ann crusade.

    Now I didn't read every ZOG post so maybe he said something super over the top but I found little that I'd construe as banning material. Did he offend anyone? I'm sure he did. Hell I'm hardly a lover of all people Jewish but he even offended me with some of his stuff. However I viewed him as smart, provocative and while shamelessly controversial he was also very on target about a few issues CRITICAL to American monetary and fiscal policy.

    The reality is ZOG is intrinsically brighter than either of you, added more to ET's intellectual content than either of you and while I could see deleting a few of his posts- to protest his speech is the subversive, anti-thought type shit most identified with the Left. P/C is just a euphemism for thought control.

    Example: Some asshole who happens to be Jewish named Mom0/pH0x posted this about the Oakland shootings, "sucks that anyone has to go through this but if someone is getting killed, at least it's fucking cops!"
    Replace "cops" with "Jews". You'd see a little more outrage eh? Did T-Dog freak out at that? Hardly.

    Anybody know where I can get a bumper sticker with this statement?
    I like it!
    It would go over wonderfully well in my socialist state.

  6. How sad, you thought ZOG added more to Elitetrader than either thunderdog or me.

    You confirm everything I ever thought about republican party. It is the party of closet racists.

  7. It is the party of closet racists.
    --------------------------------------------

    Since the late fifties, the republicans have drawn most of their strength from racists.

    Before the voting rights act, they were mostly southern democrats.

    I never got the impression that they were in the closet but then again I'm from the south.

  8. Ah yes, the race card is pulled again...

    Let's just get it all out in the open..

    Jews have a monopoly on our money..

    blacks commit too many crimes..

    latinos are illegally coming over here taking all of the good jobs..

    whites are suppressing all other races..

    There. Do we feel better now?

    The next 5-10 years are going to be harsh, I don't think most are prepared for what's going to happen.

    Why are we wasting our precious time in here in what seems to be some sort of condescending mental masturbation gala?

    This political system stinks but we deserve it because we waste an enormous amount of resources and energy promoting and debating it to no end. We get hard-ons re-reading our posts in the political forum.

    If we really want change, if we really want to do something worthwhile, we have to stop discussing the current 2 party system and establish a new one. Naw.. that won't happen, we're too busy trying to one-up the next man.

    To say so-in-so Republican is better than Joe Jabroni Democrat is retarded. It's like WWE wrestling.

    Presently, I am finding myself more embarrassed than frustrated at being associated with a site that is increasingly reaching "out there."

    :D :D :D :D

    Talk about posturing, if you weren't a poser you would just get a hell out of this site. Embarrassed my ass.

  10. Oh my, that is spot-on, a real classic!!

    What thunderbitch really wants is a site where everyone can agree with his daily anti-right/Obama mancrush thought of the day. In other words, no dissent.

    Sorry, Canadian, we still exist in a society where free speech is allowed (save for certain "moderators" who have found companionhood in the form of a lonely troll).
