Note the red text. You are saying that they are what they have been called. They have been called ‘nigg*r’ and ‘f*g’. So you are saying that they are ‘nigg*r’ and ’f*g’.

Actually, no he isn't.

He is saying that they cannot deny what they are. Whatever that is, YJ does not define it.
He is also saying that they cannot deny what they have been called.
He is not calling them those names, or saying that they are such.

You may believe what you want, but I stand by what I said. Sure, I use Joan of Arc to make fun of Palin acolytes. But I use the term teabaggers purely as a short form.

Your credibility lessens with every post.

You certainly are amusing.

You criticise YJ because your believe he is calling someone a derogatory name, but when you do the same, it's purely a 'short form'?
Right.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. The definition is clear to me, it may not be to you.

And sure he is calling them those names. If he claims that they are 'niggg*r' and 'f*g', he is calling them those names. But as I said, you are entitled to your opinion.

According to SirJosephPorter, Rep. Lewis should deny that he is black and Rep. Frank should deny that he is homosexual. And they should not be proud of who they are.

Now, who is racist and homophobe?

That is NOT what you said, YJ. Let us revisit your post #64.


So WHAT??? Lewis is BLACK. Franks is a self-admitted HOMO. As I said earlier, invectives and adjectives are only a matter of degree. Neither of these two worthies can deny what they are and what they've been called. In fact, if they should wear it as a badge of honour.

You said that they cannot deny what they have been called. They were not called ‘black’ and ‘homosexual’ by the teabaggers. They were called ‘nigg*r’ and ‘f*g’.

So what you are saying is that they are what they have been called, that they are ‘nigg*r’ and ‘f*g’.

SirJosephPorter, spin away all you like. Ignore that I said that adjectives and invectives vary only in degree. Try to make a case by putting words in my mouth (or in my posts) that Rep. Lewis is NOT black and Rep. Franks is NOT a homosexual. Remember to include my assertion about adjectives and invectives vary only in degree.

After all that please remember to post just one single video where anyone called your heroes any names at all. Also, remember that the original article was quoted from some publication that is the prototype of pure racism. 42 RACIST bigots with their pictures right there up front, just under the title of that piece of racist rag.

You would do yourself and everybody here a huge favour to remember that every group has its fair share of jerks. I will be the last one to deny that that applies to Tea Partiers.

But you committed the capital sin of condemning an entire group of people by the - alleged and NEVER PROVEN - actions of a few. Coming from you, though, it not surprising.

Also try to remember that the New York Times is a rapidly dying entity - calling it a news source would be a total insult to journalism.

There is no spinning here, YJ. I am only restating your words. And NY Times is dying out? That should make you happy, why do you sound angry about it? If NY Times is dying, isn't it time to pop the champaign cork?

You said that they cannot deny what they have been called.

SJP, by arguing that point, you are trying to claim that they were NOT called 'nigg*r' and 'fa**ot'.

YJ said they cannot deny what they were called. I expected you to agree with him, that during the protests they WERE called those names, but now you're trying to claim they were NOT called those names.

I didn't think anyone would deny what they were called, but perhaps you have some knowledge that they were called something else?

TenPenny, with no credible proof that these two characters were called ANY derogatory names, this entire thread is a total waste of time.

Need any proof that this was a tempest in a TEA POT (pun INTENDED) look at the Mother Of All Lame Responses: #130.

But why are you arguing with me? I have very little (or is it zero) credibility, remember? Surely you would like to argue with somebody who has high credibility? But then I suppose you must have your daily fix of SJP like some others here. I can hardly blame you for that.

I see. And I suppose that is why CNN, FOX, and all the major networks reported the story? I suppose Republicans, even some teabaggers apologized for a total fabrication?

From the discussion here, you seem to have more extreme attitude even than some teabaggers. Some teabaggers condemned such behavior, you evidently don't seem to have problem with it (you even claim that blacks and gays should embrace such epithets as 'nigg*r' and 'f*g').

Any number can always be lessened, it is simple math.
Quite so, which is why I was surpised that you didn't grasp that concept when I first brought it up.

You see, when I wrote my paper which was published in the Russian Journal of Metaphysical Mathematics, we conclusively proved that, indeed, the QuiteSo factor (Qs, as denoted in 131:45.6pp2)- was only relatively affected by the Svc, not absolutely affected, as was previously postulated by Henderson (v102:38.1pp34-3).

Metaphysical Mathematics? Vow, congratulations.

Good morning....

I think I was the writer who incorrectly used "tea bagger" in my first post here - it is often used in the USA but Canadians seem to believe it is utilized in a derogatory sense, I therefore wrote another post taking blame and apologizing for my error.

Why do people get so hung up on politically correct terms - even if they are the most vile and rude derogatory appelations, let the writer stand out in all of his/her ignorance without creating a side-thread of argument about who said what.

Politically correct is another world in itself used to insult, demote, slander, and we all know the words which are used...... and recognize the mocking or flaming or crude writer who enjoys putting them up for a thread to get a number of good people incensed and "hits".

Don't waste so much of your good brains discussing PC errors.... let the errors stand in all their ugly glory and perhaps some will even be removed by the administrators here..... but for intelligent people to concentrate on "who called whom what".... is a topic derailing exercise......

There are probably names for people who write long babbling posts too....
"I confess - I am guilty!"
