Bush supporters' aftermath thread II

A great nephew just back from Iraq was not happy about going and was one who was pretty down on the war. After six months active duty he is back and volunteering to go back. He said it was nothing like what we see in the papers and he is now convinced the US media is mostly distorting it.

That cinches it. The generals and other high ranking officers who report that things are bad are out to lunch. Thank god for Foxy's nephew. Who would have ever known?

To Walter: My Nephew has easy access to the Albuquerque Journal too, which is one of the reasons he is as disgusted with the media as he is.

(I check in now and then to see if the trolls have gotten tired of spamming this thread. So far, no, they haven't.)

Obviously you are referring to us as trolls, but I posted that report because those journalists are giving their viewpoints there.

Really? Do you have a nephew freshly back from Iraq who sees it differently?

The is a Bush supporters thread. Any who just wish to bash the President have dozens and dozens of other threads to post their hate posts in. That they choose to do that here makes them trolls by definition.

What's truly amazing, Foxy, is how easily you embrace anecdotal evidence yet all the while you studiously ignore the facts. Is this delusion typical of your whole life?

Anecdotal evidence can be interesting to some who don't view the world through pure venon. The anecdotal evidence I cited, however, reinforces the MANY facts I have posted over the many many months that this thread has been running. So please speciify which facts I have ignored. I trust you will review all my posts before compiling your list.

The last refuge for those who know but just aren't honest enough to admit that they have no logical or sane defence for their continued "support".

Foxfyre, the trolls have no sense of decorum and addressing them does nothing to deter their trolling. They are full of **** and have no sense about them. They like to be disruprive and, like monkeys, they like to fling their stools on the walls so they can point out to the other monkeys where they have been.

Of course it does. That's why you posted it, or perhaps, made it up.

I know, but every now and then I show my weakness in an urge to give somebody the benefit of the doubt. I usually am disappointed, but I hold out ever hope that I've misjudged somebody. I thnk those who have absolutely nothing good to say about the President and/or the GOP and/or the current administration would show much better manners by posting on their own "I hate Bush" threads.

Ah, c'mon, Tico, even you break that rule from time to time

Walter is not a troll, IMO.

You did, however, feed a troll just now, who does not deserve the benefit of the doubt, and as McG says, he has no manners. His purpose in coming here is simply to fling his poo.



Responding to him is like negotiating with terrorists ... it should never be done.

Haha, well, the fact is, you don't have any way of telling, do you? Just like we don't have any way of telling whether or not you actually have a relative who is back from Iraq.

That's why anecdotal evidence is, yeah, useless on the internet for anything other than entertainment.

It doesn't reinforce anything at all, whenever anyone does it, and you shouldn't feel as if it does.

My above statement is presented as opinion. You are free to disagree with it; if I wanted to state it as a categorical fact, I would have provided supporting evidence, which I didn't care to do.

The anecdotal evidence I cited, however, reinforces the MANY facts I have posted over the many many months that this thread has been running.

But, you didn't claim that the anecdotal evidence reinforces your 'opinion.' You stated that it reinforces your facts:

And that's my point: it may reinforce your opinion, but it doesn't reinforce any of the facts that you presented, at all.


If you had said that the anecdotal evidence reinforced your opinion then I wouldn't have said anything at all, because you are correct in stating that you have the right to not only hold any opinion you wish, but display any opinion you wish.

Note that this is an attempt on my part to not bring personal matters into a point of correction....
