Did Obama Snub the Nobel Prize Committee?

[derspiess]

I am eagerly awaiting the reaction from the peacenik left to what was essentially a neocon speech by Obama.

I'm a little disappointed with what I've heard so far

Disappointed how?  Not enough gnashing of teeth and rending of garments for your taste?

They guzzled down Obama's hawkish speech as he blasted them in the face again, bukakke style.

[LaCroix]

all this based off a misunderstanding of a poorly worded post 

Not really, and I am astonished that you would even notice.

I am just in this for the amusement.  I would urge everyone who isn't amused by this kind of thing to avert their eyes.

i haven't been following the last few pages of the back-and-forth, i referred to the initial cause. if it's continued for some 7 pages in mostly jest, then there you go

I see Will Smith was in the audience, obviously studying Obama for when he inevitably plays him.

Hehe...

That was not a quote, it was a over simplification.

Your explanation for quoting is that it was not a quote, but was rather was the exact opposite of a quote?  You can weasel better than that!

The basis of my entire argument is that you know what I did and thought better than I do?     Okay, dance some more on your crank!

Now you're getting desperate. You know fine well what I mean yet avoid the point.

You have lost me again.  I am afraid that I don't know what you say I know. You need to tell me what I know you meant, because I don't know.

OK, it changes everything. What does it mean then?

If one is a fake, one is being dishonest.  Since "fake" is the term you use to describe Obama, you are calling him dishonest - in other words, blaming him (which you now claim you never did).

What is it with you and small furry ferret-brethren?

Sorry, I forgot you are not a native Englsih-speaker.  There are meanings of the word weasel other than "small furry ferret-brethren."  I leave them for you to discover.

Of course I'm using ad hominim (look at my big scary italics!).

Good man!  If you can begin to acknowledge your logical fallacies, you can begin to address them. 

There's no argument to be had yet you insist you have one with me so what else is there. Its pretty fun to watch you over analyse someone calling you dumb without realising quite why what you're saying is dumb.

Glad you are enjoying your name-calling exercise, because I am as well.

¿qué?

No, if one is fake one is not real. In other words he's not a real Nobel prize winner. i.e. he's not deserving.
Fault isn't mentioned at all, to do so would be akin to in the middle of a discussion on the holocaust randomly saying "IT WAS THE NAZIS WHAT DID IT!!!". Yeah. No shit Sherlock.

Now, can you be a big boy and do the same?


Oh. And I raise you a puppy. Just because.

Man.  This shit is hillarious.

It wasn't neoconish.

[Syt]

I am simply pointing out that his "arguments" are just a mishmash of ad hioms, personal attacks, unilateral declarations of victory, and (now) strawmen.

None of this is really debatable, but rather than responding to what i am saying, he is just repeating the fallacies over and over.  I am enjoying it, so I keep responding.

It's what grumbler does when he rubs one off.

This is what happens when you guys drink to much of your own kool aid.  You build up some bizarre picture of your opponents and then are genuinely confused when reality doesn't match up.

I don't think that's really the problem.  Reality not matching up is a problem only for people who eventually get in touch with reality.

You may well be right, but wouldn't it make sense to know what my expectations and the reactions are before concluding that?

Shelf: essentially.
