Gotta Love that Common Sense

My 2 Cents wrote one of the most brilliant posts ever yesterday. It's so brilliant, it bears repeating. Here it is:
* Hillary Rodham Rodham has her fem-nazi panties in a twist after being given only a walk on roll at the 2004 DNC Anti-Bush orgy. The Democrat chairman from New York (Hillary's "home state") is upset calling it a "disgrace". Read the full story here.
Let's analyze that post, shall we? First, My 2 Cents misspells the name of the junior senator from New York. Her name is Hillary Rodham Clinton, not Hillary Rodham Rodham. Secondly, if you actually read the AP article he references, the lead sentence says:

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The former chairwoman of the New York State Democratic Party on Wednesday called it "a total outrage" and "very stupid" that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has not been offered a prominent speaking role at the Democratic National Convention.

from 'Outrage' Over Sen. Clinton Not Speaking

Huh, that's interesting. No where does it say that Senator Clinton herself is upset or "has her panties in a twist". No where does it say the "Democrat chairman from New York" is upset. No where does it call Senator Clinton's absence from speaking a "disgrace."

It says the "former chairwoman" of the New York Democratic Party is upset and calls it "a total outrage" and "very stupid".

My 2 Cents, I'm glad you are citing your sources and trying to curb your plagiarist ways, but it makes you seem really stupid (even to someone with common sense) to cite a source and still get the information wrong...

Don't you liberals have anything better to do than pick on conservatives? You should take note from the Godfather of the UI blogs (Hank) and focus on your posts rather than discredit his.

And FYI - "Hillary Rodham Rodham" is a great way to describe the Fem-Nazi queen...she never liked being a "Clinton"...she was just using Bill for her own political purposes. Plus, we all know who was running the show while Billy was President.

To Anonymous,

The conservative way strikes again! You can't defend the idiocy of My 2 Cent's post, so you blame my liberalism. That sort of argument may work at the monthly meeting of the "I Hate You" club, but it doesn't carry much weight here.

If you want your arguments to get through to liberals like myself, give us what we desire. It's not psycho-babble, double talk or obscenity we respond to...IT'S REASON.

Also, as soon as My 2 Cents (to use your criteria) focuses more on his posts - their accuracy, creditability and originality - I will have nothing left to discredit and will stop discrediting them.

One last difference between conservatives and liberals:

Conservatives see one of their arguments, positions or beliefs discredited and they respond by attack the one(s) who discredited it.

Liberals see one of their arguments, positions or beliefs discredited and they respond by examining the issues raised and then by resolving those issues in a reason based atmosphere.

REASON...it's all we ask.
