Theo, you need to stop, hun. You have commited so many logically fallacious arguments in this thread it's mind boggling (
Hypothesis Contrary to Fact and
Appeal to Sympathy to name a few in your initial post) that it doesn't surprise me that you're a student of the master manipulator of words, Mr. Limbaugh. Good work! Now if you'd like I can post a pic of Sarah Palin trying to shoot a caribou if you want to even the scales of just how evil the republicans are to animals as well.
I don't know what you're talking about with your fancy-pants claims that I was making some logical fallacies. I am a sensitive person who was disgusted to see that camel abused. I'm still upset about it.
You can smear me all you like, but the record on this forum shows that I did NOT vote for Sarah Palin to be VP for two reasons: (1) John McCain, at the top of her ticket, backed bail-outs that I could not support; (2) Sarah Palin, at the bottom of the ticket, supported aerial wolf hunting in Alaska which shocked my conscience and disgusted me.
See, for one example, February 7, 2009, 10:24 PM:
where I posted this:
"I didn't vote for the Republicans because McCain came out for the bailouts (*), which I feel will prolong and deepen the recession. I voted for Bob Barr as a protest vote. George W. Bush was terrible in these areas, as well.....
*And also because Palin was too into aerial wolf hunting, which I oppose."
Note how right I was about the recession. Thanks Obama!
I'm not against all hunting, but I researched the aerial wolf hunting under Sarah Palin in Alaska and I found it barbaric, and I found it to be a defining aspect of her character which prevented me from voting for her despite all her obvious charms in the campaign. Sure, I love how she drives leftoids nuts and forces things into the debate that the Left and their media allies would rather keep the people in the dark about ("death panels", for example), but this does not mean I supported her in the last election, or would support her in any election. As a matter of fact, I have never supported Palin in any election.
In the last presidential election I voted for Bob Barr as a protest against both parties. You voted for the disgrace in the White House; maybe you should just apologize to your fellow citizens and keep quiet about people like me who had things right.
I don't bow down to the throne of the worst president of history, Barack Obama, so you come at me with rubbish about Rush Limbaugh. In a thread about
The Daily Show abusing a camel! Of course I like some things Rush says. He's a funny satirist and, what - am I supposed to tune in to MSNBC or
Saturday Night Live for some hard-hitting commentary or mockery about Obama? The fact that you are unable to find humor in Rush's show, and carry grudges against people who have ever said a nice word about Rush in the past, shows what a rigid, bigoted, and intolerant partisan you are. And patronizing too - I ain't your "hun".
None of that has anything to do with this thread.
If partisan politics comes into this thread at all, it is to point out that the
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals didn't take this horrendous incident of animal abuse seriously, perhaps because they want to go easy on
The Daily Show because it is a left-wing comedy show. I think that says something about PETA. Why weren't they all over this case? Why do we still not know if that camel is okay? Why don't we know anything about who
The Daily Show rented this camel from, and who the camel's handlers were? The camel was clearly being handled by people who didn't know what they were doing. Has PETA looked into whether it was even legal for
The Daily Show to have that camel at the public square around all those crowds of people? Was that not foreseeably dangerous to both the camel and the people on the square?
Just because you, CrystalGeezer, do not give a sh*t about that camel, please don't troll this thread with your attacks based on your simplistic interpretations about my politics. I'm not a token guest on
The Rachel Maddow Show infiltrating a cocoon of smug democrats who only care about what makes Democrats look good and who want to demonize anyone who doesn't believe Nancy Pelosi is the most brilliant person of our time. I presume I'm posting in a forum populated by real people in the real world who might care about real world abuse of a real animal. This is not about what you think I've said about Rush or Palin in other threads. This is about
The Daily Show, an abused camel, and PETA.
