The Professor's Doppleganger
« on: October 27, 2014, 01:05:22 PM »
....or maybe this is really the Professor....Professor Literal

I've seen Chris Mathews rant with the best, but it just occurred to me how so many of his rants, are his trying to apply some literal context to the rant, thereby making the point truly outrageous, as if that's what the person he was ranting about, really meant what he thinks they must have meant. 

From how the GOP wants co screw the environment with their non-support of Global Warming --> Climate Change --> Climate Disruption --> Climate Chaos, to the Tea Party is a bunch of racists, to this, the rhetorical and accurate reference to supporting the 2nd amendment against an oppressive government must mean the intent of shooting anyone that doesn't agree with them politically

Truly irrational to behold

On a similar tangent, I recall how xo made it clear how he deplored any & all "negative" ads.  DWS, in her most recent irrational desperation mode, came out spouting how the GOP is more dangerous than ISIS and Ebola.  Based on his proclamations of how the GOP should be made extinct, I'm guessing that's ok in his book.

Am I wrong?

I object .

Too personal, especially the thread title.

Who the fuck is DWS? Why do you assume that this has anything to do with me?

Republicans are certainly more of a pain in the ass for Americans than Ebola. So far, only two people have died of Ebola. ISIS has caused two Americans to be beheaded.
Juniorbush's useless war got 4000 US troops killed and God knows how many Iraqis.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and it has to do with your "supposed" distaste for hateful negative politics.  Here we have the person in charge of the DNC citing Republicans a worse danger than Ebola and ISIS.  Do you agree with her?  Please tell me I'm wrong

I'm going to have to disagree with you here Plane.  Unless you think the word "Doppleganger" is some massively personal insult, I crossed no lines.  Doppelganger is simply a term used to reference an exact copy of another person.  Just making a point, which I expect xo to validate shortly

   Doppleganger means copy, changeling or twin, depending on the context.


     Perhaps XO will not object to being juxtaposed to Chris Mathews, but wouldn't you?

Somehow I think he may consider it a compliment
