Haggis.

For the record, I consider c-man a friend. We should never ever talk politics to each other. Mostly this issue, which I still consider to be of the big NON variety, sticks in my craw because of the seeming constant watchful eyes for anything that seems inappropriate for our President (this, Michelle's clothes...those kinds of things) when it all really is just "who gives a rat's ass?"

That, and whenever you point this out, you are deemed an ass-kisser, you hear snide remarks like "oh he's not our savior?" and a million other tiny comebacks to go with tiny points.

It gets tiring, and when I saw this I thought "you're freaking kidding me." So I said as much.

Eh, this thread degraded as much as any thread where classic and I discuss politics.

and haggis

I cannot believe you are comparing the Huffington Post with Rush.

Basically, the questioner and the question were discussed beforehand, of that there is no doubt. That is very uncommon from our press conferences as it removes credibility to anyone actually paying attention both here and around the world.

As I said before. I do not believe having prepared, previously discussed or softball questions is right. That is all.

Obama apparently knew this person had been in contact with many people in Iran. What is the problem with letting him know in advance, if they wanted to ask him a question, he would answer it? Since the Iranian people had no reason to believe they could ask him a question, that would have had to be set up in advance. I really don't see a problem there. I personally don't believe Obama adequately answered the question, but that is another discussion.

They are the both different sides of the same coin.

Republicans love false equivalency.

TheMercenary · 06-26-2009, 10:20 AM

Well I am not a Republickin but I fail to how you can draw the conclusion that it is a "false" equivalency. There is nothing false about it. You have two sources of information. Both of which are representing the extremes of the political continuum.

Haggis are moist, and difficult to light.

No, they are not. Rush makes completely ridiculous claims as truth, like Obama is somehow responsible for Mark Sanford's affair of the past year, or that Obama caused the recession. Seriously, I saw clips of his radio show where he actually said those things. I suppose it's a good thing we have proof the recession started before he was elected...

The Huffington Post is admittedly a more left of center news source, but they do not make ludicrous claims like that about the right.

They are no different. But because you are a leftist you can't see it any more than someone who supports what Rush says.
