Speaking of incapable of learning, see post 11. You both continue with the fallacy game. Typical.

Post 11 is, of course, an excellent description of your own position on this board. There's just this little problem with truth. You can't accuse us of fallacies when what we say is true. Instead, characterizing us, with no basis, as using fallacious arguments, is itself an excellent example of the straw-man ad-hominum attack you claim to disapprove of--when others supposedly do it.

Further BS from you, as usual, will not be acknowledged.

Sure I can. Most of the time folks here don't respond to the content of posts. Rather, responses are unsupported allegations or attempts to mis-characterize the poster. That's fine, but don't complain about it when someone calls you on it.

It is the height of hypocrisy for you to complain about the quality of argument from others. So, follow your own advice.

I have been concise in this thread, and others. Scan thru this thread and see what that has gotten me. Not complaining about it, I'm used to it. Just stating facts.

You flatter yourself. Your first post in months comes in this thread and is a link to Robert Byrd, a favorite conservative meme when issues of racism arise. Similarly, you responded in the past to threads about Trump's rampant lying with "Obama said that if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." Both of these are just shopworn, lazy memes that add nothing to the conversation.

In your less than biased opinion.

In the context of the discussion about "politicians lying", the Obama reference was spot-on. The fact that you didn't like it doesn't mean that is wasn't accurate. As you like to observe: "the truth hurts".

Likewise, the reference to Byrd in this thread is also spot-on. Byrd is still highly regarded in the Dem party regardless of his checkered past, and his offenses were far worse than Northam's. Your claims of recent heightened sensibilities to matters of race don't seem to extend to past icons like Byrd.

In contrast, its Dems leading the charge to revise / erase history by insisting that Confederate military statues must be torn down. Robert Byrd's name, however, is still on a significant number of federal buildings.

So, given the inconsistencies, one is left to wonder what really is behind the Northam flap, and the yearbook picture that has always been out there, and just happens to surface now. Selective indignation? Dems trying pulling the rug out from under Northam for other reasons?

Dude, you show up here after a several month absence and spew the lazy wingnut Robert Byrd KKK meme and then challenge others for their inability to learn? Please.

He's HR. Prolly off helping his Dear Leader fire all those poor unsuspecting immigrants who were hired with "no papers needed". It's what HR does.
