Romney insists he has never ‘lost his cool’ with a reporter.

Last night, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney broke a WGA picket line and appeared on The Tonight Show. Jay Leno asked Romney, “Have you ever lost your cool? Have you ever just exploded at a guy?” Romney replied, “Absolutely, but not a reporter,” adding that he has nothing but “respect” for them. A look at what Romney and his campaign consider “respect” for the press:

UPDATE: TP commenter Bartlebee disagrees with our post: “I saw a very agressive reporter pressing him over and over trying to back him into a corner. I think the reporter was just doing his job, and was probably right, but he also was very agressive, and Romney smiled, was polite, calm and courteous.”

    Compare Romney’s robot-blowing-a-fuse performance this week with his reaction to a Boston Globe reporter confronting him over illegal aliens hired to landscape his home:

    Asked by a reporter yesterday about his use of Community Lawn Service with a Heart, Romney, who was hosting the Republican Governors Association conference in Miami, said, “Aw, geez,” and walked away.

    This makes a presumption that this person has ever been cool or has at least a generalized understanding of cool. This due is Raymond Shaw.

    I have to agree with #8, this seems pretty trivial. Even if Glen was correct, which I’m sure he is, he was being out of line with his questioning and Mitt did a good job of maintaining his composure.

    I think TP owes Romney an apology on this one.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    Mitty is an offense to the human race….when the repubs start apologizing for true offenses…..not just a bad call…..think about the media on the right bart…..have you seen any apologies for the way they have covered things?

    You are right, Romney did not lose his cool in that situation. The OTHER people around him (potentially on his staff) sure did. The old woman calling the reporter names, saying he was ugly and overly confrontational?

    It is the JOB of the press to be confrontational. The problem today is that too many members of the press are not confrontational ENOUGH. The reporter was right, Romney was attempting to move the goalposts and change the frame in mid-sentence. Romney stated, “I don’t have lobbyists running my campaign. I don’t have lobbyists tied to my…” and was immediately confronted on such a falsehood. He instantly shifted the framing to make it appear that he ONLY said “running my campaign”, when in fact he also included “involved in.”.

    He was busted, dead to rights.

    He did not, however, come close to losing his cool.


  11. Wayne says:

    What is it with these idiots now days, that do not understand that we capture what they say/do on video and even they lie, we can re-run the truth over again, to point out they lie.

    Does any one of these political fckwits have even one small bit of honor?


  12. plunger says:

    He did not lose his cool. He did intentionally mislead.

    We need MORE media asking even tougher questions than this, not less.

    Interrupting a staged monologue to demand clarification is the media’s JOB.

    Romney ALMOST said “I don’t have any lobbyists involved in my campaign” – which would have absolutely been false.

    Had he not been interrupted, he was about to lie.

    No, he didn’t lose his cool. He lied as coldly as any sociopath I have ever seen.

    I’m sorry bart, I re-read this and it just doesn’t sound like a smear. It just implies that he and his people were not very nice and threw it open for discussion. I refuse to allow you to compare that to what rush does which is to take something completely out of context and skew it to suit his needs…..not the same to me.

    jk, who could possibly care what you think? nobody here, that’s for sure. your lies are your calling card, take them to redstate.


  25. Impolitics says:

    I think Mitt did “lose his cool”, though it was minor and “composure” might be a better word. However, the real question is; how many MSM outlets will run a story about Mitt getting caught in a lie?

    BTW, I think the reporter should have let him finish and hit him at the end, but, I can understand how one would become frustrated having to listen to these creeps day after day. Personally, If I were forced to listen to one of these stump speeches, I would probably end up screaming obscenities.


  26. ralph the wonder llama says:

    I agree with everyone who says that the headline for this article is a mistake. Romney clearly didn’t “lose his cool”. Now, to be fair, the article leads up to the video with these words:

    A look at what Romney considers “respect” for the press:

    But even that isn’t really reflective of the video, because Romney and his staff treated the reporter with a modicum of respect.

    What they DIDN’T respect was the truth. If the AP reporter had allowed Romney to finish his sentence, I think he could have caught him in a lie, because it sounded like Mittens was abut to say, “I don’t have lobbyists tied to my campaign“. Glen Johnson jumped the gun and allowed Romney the wiggle room to backtrack and cling to his “I don’t have lobbyists runnng my campaign” floatation device.

    I mean, come on, why does a staffer (or “unpaid advisor”) have to “attend senior strategy meetings” in order to be considered part of a campaign?

    Because that’s the only way that Mittens can skate out from under the snow cave of lies that was about to collapse on top of him.


  27. jb says:

    somebody mentioned Howard Dean’s scream….still seems like a harmless bit of enthusiasm….Too bad we haven’t had 7 years of Dean is stead of the cr@p the GOP has to sell.


  28. Lefty Patriot says:

    All he did was to defend his position after being wrongfully accused by the far left reporter who obviously was looking to make a name for himself with the libs.

    what he did was lie. he’s the perfect candidate for a loser like you, jk.


  29. Moderation says:

    All he did was to defend his position after being wrongfully accused by the far left reporter who obviously was looking to make a name for himself with the libs. Romney in NO WAY “blew his cool” and in fact I think SHOWED his “cool” in this instance!

    Congratulations BARTLEBEE for recognizing the truth!!

    Comment by John Kerry — January 19, 2008 @ 4:04 pm

    Umm. Bart’s point that TPs headline should change is valid. It should change from, “Romney insists he has never ‘lost his cool’ with a reporter” to, “Romney caught on tape LYING about lobbyists in his campaign.”

    Romney certainly didn’t lose his cool. Rather, he coolly and calmly LIED, stating, “I don’t have lobbyists tied to my [campaign].” He was called out by a reporter who was actually doing his job.

    Bartlebee is 100% correct about TP needing to change the title of this thread. Bart is not, however, saying what you seem to be implying. Bart seems to recognize the truth: Mitt Romney was caught, on film, LYING to the press, and was called on it.


  30. jb says:

    If we followed the media’s treatment of the Dean scream, who cares how cool Mittster is, just go ahead and deride him endlessly and shamelessly.


  31. Lefty Patriot says:

    Comment by jb — January 19, 2008 @ 4:16 pm

    that’s why the repigs have to steal every election they can. Dems are always making them look bad.

    If you want another 9/11, vote Republican.


  32. jb says:

    Some $hit for brains troll is asking for fair treatment of the Mormon dude at the same time he is still carrying on about Dean’s “scream”. Typical hypocritical GOP stooge.


  33. dbadass says:

    I suppose it depends upon the definition of cool. Anyone under the spotlight will have incidents. The thing is Romney just isn’t cool. He is tragically waspy uncool at best


  34. pluege says:

    I don’t like Romney in the least – he’s a skank. But I don’t consider the video evidence of him losing his cool with a reporter.

    Comment by Impolitics

    I do not agree. After Mitt would have been finished then the whole gaggle would have been led around by their nose, like they have been for so long, and the reporter would have been making his point (asking his question) into the wind. And we know we have seen the criminal bush/cheney cabal do this too effortlessly to think that a different tactic must be tried. I commend the reporter for speaking up at all, given them Neo-traitors around him
    Fu(k Mitt, THAT IS Mitt loosing his cool. He is a friggin Mormon, moron.


  37. WaltTheMan says:

    If you vote Democrat, you may be in for a 1/19. Nice symmetry there, if you can consider the results nice. Martial law and cancellation of election results as Herr Fuhrer Bush assumes the reins of the nation for the thousand year whatever.


  38. 99Luf Balloons says:

    What are you referring to walt?


  39. jb says:

    Nothing cool about a money grubbing war monger.


  40. Jim says:

    I have no problem with Romney’s handling of this situation. I don’t think he was rude or inappropriate. I think it’s fine if the press wants to investigate his claims to find out whether or not they’re true, but I don’t think this is an example of Romney “losing his cool.” This is a non-story.


  41. Moderation says:

    I’m pretty sure Walt is indicating the (albeit very small) possibility of Bush/Cheney refusing to leave office, by declaring martial law and putting his various executive orders in to motion.

    Which, considering the last day of Bush’s presidency is 1/19, is indeed a nice symmetry to 9/11, the act which allowed the focus of power in to a unitary executive to come to fruition.


  42. Moderation says:

    Err, the DAY which allowed the focus, rather.


  43. Shayne says:

    All he did was to defend his position after being wrongfully accused
    Comment by John Kerry — January 19, 2008 @ 4:04 pm

    He was not being “wrongfully accused”. He was asked a question, lied, got caught and then continued to lie. How can that be confusing for you?


  44. Fred says:

    If you want to turn troll and start smearing lipstick on this pig, thats your business.

    But the headline is still nonetheless misleading at best, and misleading is a polite way of saying its lying.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    Ok bart. If you can’t accept and allow me to have my point of view and resort to calling me a troll then I guess I understand. You speak eloquently of fairness yet my opinion seems not to matter…you have stated catagorically that I am wrong and that is the end of the disscussion with you apparantly. I’ve seen that tactic used here before. I was just trying to discuss it with you but you have decided that you should tell me exactly what is going on and you have. You even have support for your side of the discussion. Since the known trolls agree with you, you must be right……signing off.


  45. dbadass says:

    This is a non-story.

    Comment by Jim — January 19, 2008 @ 4:35 pm

    I am not sure anyone claimed it was. Think of things like this more as the writing prompts your high school English teacher employed. TP was simply providing the basis of the discussion which ensued. Maybe the dust particle that provides the nucleus for cloud formation analogy, either way…


  46. Shayne says:

    Comment by 99Luf Balloons — January 19, 2008 @ 4:28 pm

    I agree with your post. The reporter actually accomplished something. And caught this lying sack of crap on tape doing it. If he hadn’t spoken up when he did the whole group would have been whisked away and absolutely nothing would have been accomplished. Mitt right now is talking about how Washington is broken while he has a lobbyist as one of his top advisors. We wouldn’t see the irony if this reporter hadn’t done his job.


  47. jb says:

    If we’re gonna say it, lets say it right.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 4:35 pm

    we all respect your sentiment here, bu we can expect no such gentleman’s rules when the GOP pigs open their mouth’s.


  48. Shayne says:

    Bart, answering quickly by lying shows a lack of composure. Following up with an answer that shows you were lying but were using semantics to obfuscate shows a definite lack of reason. The kind that gets people convicted in a court of law when they are being questioned about a crime. Mitt got caught splitting hairs and now you’re doing the same here. Many of us consider a guy telling a bald faced lie to a reporter who knows the facts, on tape is losing his cool. You don’t have to like it, but it’s how we feel.


  49. Fred says:

    I don’t think superior has anything to do with it bart….I think you simply must be right.


  50. Lefty Patriot says:

    Actually, TP’s headline isn’t misleading at all. it’s just the truth as Romney sees it. TP never accuses Romney of losing his cool. TP points out that Romney’s “respect” for the press includes lying to them. Then Romney’s handler tries to insist that the reporter behave himself, as if that is some kind of requirement. TP is on the money here.


  51. Fred says:

    I refuse to allow you to compare that to what rush does which is to take something completely out of context and skew it to suit his needs

    Comment by Fred — January 19, 2008 @ 4:02 pm

    Sounds like its you thats refusing to “allow” me my opinion.

    Which happens to be obviously correct.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    and taking statements out of context and posting them to suit your needs is exactly the way rush does it…..dishonestly.


  52. Shayne says:

    Thats why being superior to the bad guys means BEING SUPERIOR TO THE BAD GUYS.

    No that’s bringing a knife to a gun fight. Some of us are tired of losing these battles. You play the game your way and we’ll play it ours. You don’t run this site do you Bart? Until you do the final dictate on every issue isn’t really your’s.

    there is always a grey area unless you are a child or you have no respect for anyone’s opinion except your own.

    I’ve said it several times, I THINK him lying and getting caught is losing his cool. TP, on the other hand, NEVER says he lost his cool. And yet you’re insisting they did and ask for an apology. If you don’t like the way TP puts up it’s posts maybe you should go to a site that you can agree with 100% of the time because this site is obviously not here JUST to keep YOU happy.

    When the left loses its partisan HACKS like you we’ll be doing something.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:22 pm

    Thanks for letting us Progressives be so inclusive. Is there anyone else you want to exclude from the Democratic Party?

    hmmm…..

    let me guess….

    Of yeah, anyone who doesn’t agree with you.

    So Bart are you going to do the thinking for all of us and then just tell us how we should think?


  90. Lefty Patriot says:

    when no SANE person could watch that video and decide that Mitt lost his cool.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:24 pm

    disqualified.

    So Bart are you going to do the thinking for all of us and then just tell us how we should think?

    he’s the model for Jonah Goldberg’s new “book”, Liberal Fascism.


  92. dim wit says:

    And just like before, all they have are their insults and lies, because not one of them can show where Mitt lost his cool.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:24 pm

    Its called an “opinion”

    Some people think he “lost his cool” and others do not. But i forgot, you’re the only one who is allowed to be correct.


  93. ralph the wonder llama says:

    all they have are their insults and lies

    So says Bart, fresh off of calling others:

    LIARS

    partisan HACKS

    Scumbag

    dirty lying piece of shit

    dicwads (sic)

    pisspot

    oh, and — “dirty LIARS”.

    Well argued, Bart.


  94. Lefty Patriot says:

  96. dbadass says:

    And there he is.

    POOF, its magic.

    See folks, Fred is DIM WIT, like I said over a week ago.

    And he’s also Ralph.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:26 pm

    Sure but you have confused us all for others at one time or another


  97. Shayne says:

    How did I know that?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:26 pm

    Even paranoids have enemies, I guess. Everybody who disagrees with you is just one troll with 30 different names? Yeah, that’s the ticket.


  98. dim wit says:

    See this peice of human shit, has followed me since getting his clock cleaned on a debate about atheism, and to this day, whenever he senses an opening, he attacks, under one of his many handles.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:26 pm

    I am no one other than dim wit. I am not Fred or Shayne or anyone else.

    And I “attack” you because you are child you goes off on flying rampages. I poke you with a stick not necessarily because I disagree with you, but rather, because I find you tyraids entertaining.


  99. Lefty Patriot says:

    no I’m Fred…..sorry bart…..I’m just Fred and I’m new here.

    Comment by Fred — January 19, 2008 @ 5:28 pm

    Don’t worry, fred, bi-polar bart has decided to vent his spleen on all of us liars and partisans of the left. it’s not new, the only thing that’s new is that a few have decided to push back and show him the error of his ways, which is unacceptable to his authoritatrian side. he’s our resident Dr. Jerkoff and Mr. High. And, like most emotionally-stunted folks, he can’t stand to lose.

    Referring to yourself in the third person enhances your credibility, sure it does.

    I’m going to just throw this out there but maybe there are a certain amount of us who don’t like being bullied or told what to think and we get our haunches up when you start your tactics. But don’t let reason stand in the way of your delusions.

  105. Lefty Patriot says:

    All I said was Romney didn’t lose his cool, which he didn’t.

    All you’ve done is come in looking for trouble, and starting trouble.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:34 pm

    You expressed your opinion, based on a misreading of the post. You brought the trouble upon yourself, and in your typically stubborn fashion, refused to see that you misinterpreted the headline. You lose, again. Get used to it, or get lost.


  106. ralph the wonder llama says:

    And I’m Ralph, no one else. And Bart, since you and I have tangled before and none of these others showed up (I think Lefty Patriot may have been there), I don’t know whether you’re deluded, or a liar.

    I can see where it might make you feel better to think that all the posters who disagree with you (or at least your methods) are just manifestations of a single mischievous keyboard commando. It would be easier to accept, I suppose, than the fact that there are several people who disagree with you, people who tend to make thoughtful, if snarky comments on other threads and may even agree with you occasionally.

    But sadly for you, you’re wrong. I haven’t posted under anything but this handle for months. Obviously I don’t know for sure about Lefty, dim wit, Shayne or Fred, but as they all have distinct voices on this forum, I strongly suspect they are all distinct people too.

    People disagree with you. Get over it.


  107. Shayne says:

    I couldn’t believe how lucky I was when I saw you on TP this afternoon.

    Comment by dim wit — January 19, 2008 @ 5:36 pm

    Sometimes I see Bart as Joe Pesce in “Goodfellas” in the scene, “Am I a clown, you think I’m here to amuse you …” Entertaining as heck.


  108. Shayne says:

    Oh but hes’ not one of you….

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:37 pm

    Neither are you Bart, NEITHER ARE YOU.


  109. Lefty Patriot says:

    Show everyone, WHERE, or admit you’re just a bunch of liars.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:38 pm

    show everyone where TP claimed that Romney lost his cool, as opposed to the “respect” they were demonstrating in the video. and if you don’t think that a frozen, fake, sociopathic smile while lying isn’t losing one’s cool, that’s fine, but it’s just your opinion. either way, you’ve misread the post, or misinterpreted the meaning of “cool”. Or both. Yeah, I’ll go for “both”, since you seem to be getting good at losing your foodfights.


  110. Lefty Patriot says:

    You’re a dingleberry on my ass cheek, that I’ll wipe like I do everytime your inbred self starts shit with me.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:43 pm

    It’s just your opinion, moron. And it’s becoming less and less valid as you stomp and pout. Watching the video, and watching your behavior, it’s becoming clear why you can’t see what’s clear to many others.


  112. dbadass says:

    Ever since that day I beat Dim Wit in a debate.

    Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you


  113. Fred says:

    After all, thats the entire premise of your attacks on me, (or are they just personal, as I stated earlier?) right?

    PROVE I’m wrong, and show us where Romney lost his cool.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    No bart the entire discussion started as a comparison between the way left and right leaning media handles things….I thought your demand for an apology from TP was a non starter…

    by the way I have a dialup so I haven’t even seen the vidio…..

    Bart, how are you going to be able to come back and enter a disscussion here now?


  114. Lefty Patriot says:

    It is a clear challenge, and you prove what a LIAR you are, by even suggesting otherwise.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:45 pm

    That’s your narrow, self-interested view of it. I’m not even saying it’s wrong, because it’s a viewpoint, but other viewpoints are no less wrong.

    Especially mine, which is well thought-out, and includes the entire post. You can accuse TP of claiming that which it didn’t, but that makes you look like a troll. Romney’s behavior is despicable and very uncool in a democracy, and that’s a fact.


  115. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Bart’s world:

    Bart’s opinion = Fact

    Other’s differing opinion = Lies

    hmm… kinda sounds like a troll’s world, doesn’t it? Kinda like Daryll maybe? Or O’Biggie? Maybe Southern Man?

    Oh my God! They MUST ALL BE THE SAME PERSON!

  121. Lefty Patriot says:

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:50 pm

    Including me, as I’m sure you noted. I don’t agree with Shayne that Romney’s lying was losing his cool. But I sure as hell wouldn’t call her a “liar” over it.

    The objection I have with you is your troll-like tantrum, your infantile insults and your refusal to treat language as if it means something.

    Nothing in the TP copy for this thread says the Romney lost his cool, but you continue to insist that it does. You even copied-and-pasted it as if it supported your position. That’s a little weird.


  123. Impolitics says:

    I think Mitt “lost his cool”, in a small way, and get called a liar. My 9 year old grandson thinks my 13 year old grandson is “old”. Should I call him a liar?

    You’re delusional.

    Bart, I have told you before I post from work. I work 8am-5pm CT. That is when you find the majority of my posts.

    I was just checking e-mail today when I decided to drop by TP. I haven’t the time or the inclination to post under any other name other than dim wit.

    By the way, your opinion regarding Mitt is just that – an opinion.


  126. Shayne says:

    Why just me?

    :|

    I know why.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:55 pm

    Maybe YOU need to go back and READ every post and see where some of us disagreed with other. We’re tired of doing all your work for you. You get more trollish by the day.

    If this isn’t a PERSONAL attack on me, why didn’t you guys jump on Wayne?

    Or Ralph?

    Or any of the others who agreed that Romney clearly was composed and that the headline of the article was misleading?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:55 pm

    Possibly because none of the others who agreed with you called those who had differing views “LIARS”. Not to mention “Scumbag”, “pisspot” or “dirty lying piece of shit”.

    Just a thought.


  129. Lefty Patriot says:

    ANYONE.

    Who was honest.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:57 pm

    anyonewho was honest would see that TP never made a statement that Romney “lost it” with that reporter. ANYONE. Who wasn’t an illiterate.

    Comment by Fred — January 19, 2008 @ 5:58 pm

    it won’t matter. Bart has been losing his cool for quite a while, now. he wanted to be King, and turned out to be Jester, and may never get over it. Nt your fault. You are entitled to your opinion. I agree that Romney was sweating bullets and was insulting and desperate, and just framing away. like bart.

  134. Fred says:

    Romney is clearly SEEN SMILING throughout the incident.

    He is SOFT SPOKEN. He clearly controls himself like a pro.

    Anyone saying or implying that he “lost his cool” in that video presented here, is simply LYING.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    Well bart, the same cannot be said for you today can it. I would advise against running for office of any kind, just sayin…..


  135. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Comment by Fred — January 19, 2008 @ 6:04 pm

    I think it’s fair to say that Bart “lost his cool” here, even if Romney didn’t.


  136. Impolitics says:

    Mitt starts to sound angry, to me, at the 14 second mark when he says, “did you hear what I said”. Then he looks angry. To me, that counts as “losing one’s cool”.


  137. dbadass says:

    And I still think Mitt is Raymond Shaw


  138. Lefty Patriot says:

    THEY CLEARLY ARE TRYING TO IMPLY ROMNEY LOST HIS COOL.

    And you prove you’re no better than the right wing when you sit here and try to LIE, because you’re too much of a wimp to admit you’re wrong.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 6:02 pm

    Your accusations are as foolish as your behavior, since I agree with TP, and not with you. Your opinion is not something I value very highly, because you don’t think things through very carefully, you argue from emotion and personal viewpoint, and you are extraordinarily rude and insulting instead of reasoned and thoughtful. These are troll-like behaviors, so it isn’t surprising that you elicit anti-troll responses from the regulars here, who obviously are tired of your act. You have been soundly defeated in arguments here, so your bullyboy tactics have been exposed, and have lost their effectiveness.

    Sucks to be you.


  139. Shayne says:

    Watch out, everybody! Bart’s about to unleash his big artillery: the “I’m Rubber, You’re Glue” cannon.

    Comment by ralph the wonder llama — January 19, 2008 @ 6:03 pm

    Of course I had already gone back and reread it before I suggested Bart do the same. A logical person might have figured that out. But we’re talking about Bart here.


  140. Shayne says:

    I think it’s fair to say that Bart “lost his cool” here, even if Romney didn’t.

    Comment by ralph the wonder llama — January 19, 2008 @ 6:05 pm

    That’s because “b*tches” like me and all the “liars” here have driven him to it. He has delicate sensibilities.


  141. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Say, Bart… if I’m the same person as Fred, dim wit, Lefty Patriot, et. al. how do you account for the fact that I agreed with your assessment of Romney’s behavior in the video when the others did not?

    (By the way, I noticed that when you copied-and-pasted my comment, you stopped just short of including the line where I point out that TP was actually using the video to demonstrate “respect”, not “losing one’s cool”. Curious why you chose that point to edit?)


  142. Shayne says:

    Fact: We’re not interested in letting you dictate the rules here at TP.
    Fact: Some of us will fight back just because we don’t like being intimidated.
    Fact: Not everybody feels the same way on every issue you do.
    Fact: You seem to be your own kind of troll.


  143. Fred says:

    FACT: the video attached to the article CLEARLY shows Romney did NOT lose his cool.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 6:14 pm

    Fact: Romney clearly loses his cool at 14 seconds in, and takes a full 6 seconds to recover.


  146. ralph the wonder llama says:

    FACT: Ralph, Shayne, Dim Wit, Fred, Ddumbass, aren’t concerned with the “truth”. They’re only concerned with following Bartlebee to launch personal attacks whenever they smell an opening.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 6:14 pm

    FACT: That’s not an “opening” we smell, Bart.

    well… maybe in a sense, it is. There IS an opening down there. And it does smell like Bart’s arguments.


  147. Shayne says:

    The “good guys” don’t get a pass on lying anymore than the bad guys.

    Thank goodness most of us here get that.

    Thank goodness its only you clowns, who do not.

    Fact: You are not one of the “good guys”.

    That’s bart’s famous “framing”, learned from the Republicans. It shows his intellectual dishonesty and willingness to lie to win.

    Shame is a shame.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 6:19 pm
    Too bad you don’t have any. Romney clearly lost his cool 14 seconds into the video.


  152. Fred says:

    post 68

    I refuse to allow you to compare that to what rush does which is to take something completely out of context and skew it to suit his needs

    Sounds like its you thats refusing to “allow” me my opinion.

    Which happens to be obviously correct.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    and taking statements out of context and posting them to suit your needs is exactly the way rush does it…..dishonestly.

    Comment by Fred

    seems we’ve already been here today bart.


  153. Shayne says:

    Bart, TP has the RIGHT to write any threads it chooses any way it wants to. And all readers have a right to come here or not, post or not, agree or not. You don’t have the right to tell them how to do their job until you work here. It is typical troll behavior to tell them what or how they should run the site. Not all progressives think the same just like not all Americans think the same. Tough luck if you don’t like it. If TP makes you unhappy and you’re not a troll, why do you stay here or keep coming back. Doesn’t make much sense. You must be a troll and that’s why you’re treated like one.
    What happened to Worfeus Bart, get banned for troll behavior?

    He’s never been wrong. Ask him.


  155. ralph the wonder llama says:

    After all, why would TP post an article showing Romney DID NOT lose his cool, like the wonderboy is trying to assert, lol.

    So lets get it straight.

    Now Lefty is agreeing with the Wonderkind, that TP actually wrote this article with the intention of declaring Romney was “COOL” during the questioning, lol.

    Lets get that on record.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 6:21 pm

    Wow. If that’s the conclusion you reached from that exchange, I can understand how you can make the weird arguments you make. You’ve obviously got some cognitive difficulties you’re dealing with. I wish you the best of luck with that.

    Especially if you can get him in a position where his argument depends on NOT defining a term. Then you get accused of playing “word games”. It’s kind of amusing.


  162. Shayne says:

    What happened to Worfeus, Bart? Did he get banned as a troll. Or are you going to say you weren’t Worfeus before you were Bart.

    And most people here may not remember Worfeus but you got piled on plenty under that name. Back then did people pile on you just because you were Worfeus or because they disagreed with you. Think Bart, think.

    And when you bring up the Oxford dictionary he has to run off before he pees on himself, that’s fun too.


  165. ralph the wonder llama says:

    I gotta say, this trick of Bart’s to try to claim that we were all actually arguing that TP supports Romney has got to go on his highlight reel.

    I wonder if he can stick the landing? Let’s all watch, shall we…

    I may be paraoid but that don’t mean they’re not after me…..


  167. Shayne says:

    Hey Bart I asked you a question. Were you or were you not Worfeus? Everytime the subject gets a little tough for you you ignore it.


  168. dim wit says:

    And they were clearly wrong, in this example, because he was anything but “losing his cool”.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 6:28 pm

    “And they were clearly wrong because Bartlebee dictated so”

    Bart, you are the absolute last person I would trust to be the judge of whether someone is “losing his cool” considering you seem to do just that on a daily basis.

    What happened Bart, things getting too tough for you?

    Amen to that.

    Someone must have pulled the plug on Bartlebee’s computer. No way he just ups and leaves; he can do this for hours (and hours and hours and ).


  174. PatrioticLiberalChristian says:

    My two cents:

    The TP thread is about Romney’s lack of respect for the media and the video (apparently since I can’t see it with my dial-up) demonstrates Romney ignoring the reporter, a form of disrespect for the media. The TP headline is a truth in that it stems from the talk with Leno, although it is a very poor choice for a headline given the rest of what TP presents.

    Second, I find the posts by Bartlebee be a hundred times more disrespectful. He made a legitimate point to be considered, but who would want to consider it when it is couched in such arrogant, demeaning, tyranical, unappealing, disrespectful packaging?


  175. dim wit says:

    Bwahahahaha!


  177. PatrioticLiberalChristian says:

    After reading Bartlebee’s tirades here and on the “atheism is a religion” thread, I understand why Bartlebee believes in God. It’s because he thinks he IS God.


  178. Shayne says:

    He’s lurking, afraid to post. Watch, as soon as we stop he’ll be here to have the last say. But until he addresses the Worfeus issue he is disseminating.

    Comment by PatrioticLiberalChristian — January 19, 2008 @ 6:45 pm

    That’s why he’s so insulted by people who don’t believe in God and takes it personally. Still it doesn’t explain why he thinks the lack of belief is a belief system. His dictionary speaks to him and tells him that. So God believes in the dictionary more than the bible, except for the Oxford dictionary which disagrees with him, he thinks that’s the Koran of dictionaries.


  181. Shayne says:

    gee….so hard

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 6:47 pm

    Bart, pay attention. Worfeus, what happened to him and why did people pile on him when he wasn’t supposed to be a troll and he wasn’t Bartlebee?


  182. Shayne says:

    Bart why are you such a coward that doesn’t answer any questions just keeps advancing the same bogus propositions?


  183. dim wit says:

    Wow.

    Who the hell knew the name Worfeus would shut Bartlebee up in a heartbeat?

    Oh well, I’ve got dinner reservations. I’m gone.

    Awesome! Bart is attempting some mid-air rhetorical gymnastics and AT THE SAME TIME takes evasive manuevers to avoid Shayne’s troublesome question.

    Bart you couldn’t find your own a$$ with both hands. How are you going to hand somebody else there’s? Only in your delusional mind. So why did you stop using the name Worfeus, because it was banned or because you were tired of getting piled on. Why don’t you switch names again and see how long it takes for the piling on to begin. And how long will it take you to realize it is your attitude that gets you piled on not your name.

    Uh, oh… the judges are conferring… it looks like Bart’s attempted rehtoric reversal has been disallowed. They rule that Lefty Patriot never argued that TP meant to praise Romney, as Bart claims, rather ridiculously.

    Since the competition uses Bart’s own rules, and under those rules this infraction is technically a LIE, Bartlebee has been disqualified.

    I’m betting he’ll lose all those endorsement deals, too.

    You’re no judge of people if Romney can fool you that easily. You’re just like the fools and cultists that will vote for him if you buy his act. I didn’t think you were quite tht stupid, but you’ve proven me wrong. You are as gullible as any Romney voter.

    Actually, as I stated early on, everybody’s entitled to his or her own opinion. The problem here is that you won’t allow that. The issue isn’t Romney, you have made the issue Bartlebee and his reprehensible, juvenile, hateful behavior. I think Romney lost his cool, others don’t. TP uses the video to highlight the lack of respect Romney and his camp have for the press. Everybody agrees on that. But you have to have a black-and-white scenario to wrap your teeny little brain around. How sad.


  221. Lefty Patriot says:

    So you’re clearly lying that he does.

    Um… Bart? Yeah, Lefty and Shayne disagree with my assessment of the video.

    Unlike you, I don’t have a problem with them disagreeing with me. I respect their opinion, can see why they think that, and am comfortable thinking something different.

    The thing with you is that you don’t even allow for anyone else’s opinion.

    And obviously, you have some deficiency in reading comprehension, too, as demonstrated in your ridiculous interpretation of that exchange between me and Lefty.

    Really, dude. Seek some help.

    No, sad one, what I have been arguing about (in between simply making fun of you) is your misinterpretation of what I said. Whether that misinterpretation is willful or just the predictable result of limited brain function is up for debate.


  235. Shayne says:

    Delusions of grandeur are a symptom of several mental illnesses as is paranoia. It’s not so much fun when it feels like we’re arguing with the mentally ill. You’re spoiling ALL the fun Bart.


  236. ralph the wonder llama says:

    By my calculations, the score stands thusly:

    Crude indults:
    BART 2,756
    Everyone else 42

    Straw men:

    Everyone else: 0

    Yep. looks like Bart wins, all right.


  237. Shayne says:

    You know Bart when you were Worfeus you had a couple of supporters. But since you’ve switched names you’re on your own. Do you think it’s the escalation of your bizarre behavior? No you probably don’t but the rest of us do.

  240. Impolitics says:

    Compared to other exchanges in which I’ve seen Mitt participate, he “lost his cool”. It’s plain as a pikestaff. Calling me a liar, fool, moron, or any other undeserved name, won’t change my opinion.

    Well, I can’t speak for everyone but for myself, I’m getting kinda tired of getting my ass kicked by bart so I’m probably going to run for now…..

    “For no apparent reason”?

    All evidence to the contrary, I guess:

    The objection I have with you is your troll-like tantrum, your infantile insults and your refusal to treat language as if it means something.

    Nothing in the TP copy for this thread says the Romney lost his cool, but you continue to insist that it does. You even copied-and-pasted it as if it supported your position. That’s a little weird.

    Or any of the others who agreed that Romney clearly was composed and that the headline of the article was misleading?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 5:55 pm

    Possibly because none of the others who agreed with you called those who had differing views “LIARS”. Not to mention “Scumbag”, “pisspot” or “dirty lying piece of shit”.

    Bart, by your own standards, you are every bit as much a LIAR as those you accuse of the offense. Most would say more so.

    You’re a LIAR.

    One of the amazing things about soap operas is (or was) that you could go on vacation, hell you could go away to school, and when you got back it would only take a day to pick up the plot, because nothing had really changed.

    That’s how I feel about this kind of thread. I went grocery shopping, came back and checked the thread, then took a nap and came back and checked the thread and . . . maybe I’ll go fix dinner, decant this bottle of port and come back and check the thread.

    Because nothing will have changed.


  248. Impolitics says:

    Mitt looks and sounds angry and “whiny”. He grits his teeth. His voice quavers and shows obvious strain. True, he didn’t yell, or shout obscenities, but, compared to other exchanges I’ve seen, he is: “flummoxed”, “flustered” and “discomforted”. He looks like he would rather be anywhere else.

    That, to me, is “losing one’s cool”.

    What is this a gay bathhouse? Totally ridiculous and not even remotely tough guyish


  250. gummitch says:

    Well thanks Gummitch.

    Unfortunately if that is an insinuation that I should just give up, even though I am clearly correct, sorry.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 8:01 pm

    No, although I’m curious why you think it matters and what you think you’re proving.


  251. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Nothing in the TP copy for this thread says the Romney lost his cool, but you continue to insist that it does. You even copied-and-pasted it as if it supported your position. That’s a little weird.

    Comment by ralph the wonder llama — January 19, 2008 @ 5:56 pm

    See?

    Ralph the Wonder Liar here actually is taking the position that TP meant to PRAISE Romney.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 7:56 pm

    Need I point out AGAIN how the piece you cut-and-pasted does not say what you claim it says?

    Yes, apparently I need.

    Of course, explaining WHY it doesn’t say what you claim it does would be a waste of time and bandwidth, since if your reading comprehension is of such a level that you could misconstrue what I said as badly as you did the first time, there’s little hope of any further progress.

    And then there’s your well-known obstinancy to factor in, too.


  252. dbadass says:

    I think I have had to tell you this before. It is spelled exactly as it sounds. dbadass. By the way you appear to be insane


  253. dbadass says:

  254. Lefty Patriot says:

    Dumbass.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 8:21 pm

    ah bartlebee, still lying, still crazy, after all these hours. dbadass is not to be confused with dumbass, although dumbass is a perfectly good translation of bartlebee. your paranoia is increasing, so should your meds. your doctor is doing a piss-poor job of controlling your psychosis. you can’t even see that Romney loses his cool 14 seconds into the video, loses his smile, tightens his voice, breaks into a sweat, then recovers. Too bad you’re so confused and psycho that you can’t see that, it would save you a lot of embarrassment.


  255. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Bart, I never said anything about what TP IMPLIED.

    I said “Nothing in the TP copy for this thread says the Romney lost his cool”.

    Show me where it says that Romney lost his cool.

    You can’t.

    All you have are your inferences about what the text meant. An inference is subjective. Understand now?

    Y’know, Bart, I’m beginning to think that you’re not dishonest. I’m beginning to think that the problem is you’re not too bright. But clearly, it’s got to be one or the other.


  256. Impolitics says:

    He caught Romney in an obvious lie which is why he got upset.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 4:45 pm

    How do we know he was upset? Because he looked, and sounded, upset. For a professional politician that counts as “losing his cool” in my book.

    BTW, I have done/said foolish things on many occasions. This is not one of them. And? I gave up lying over fifty years ago.


  257. ralph the wonder llama says:

    And then sit here arguing with me for hours saying the article doesn’t say that???

    What kind of drugs are you on?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 8:30 pm

    Maybe because the article DOESN’T say that, but the headline leads to that conclusion. Which is why I also said, in the post you copy so admiringly, Now, to be fair, the article leads up to the video with these words: “A look at what Romney considers “respect” for the press:

    You keep forgetting to copy-and-paste that part, don’t you?

    In other words, in the same post that you think contradicts what I’ve said later, I point out that the text does not say that Romney “lost his cool”. My post is consistent and logical, but you apparently have a difficult time with complex thought. I see that now, and I feel sorry for you.


  258. Lefty Patriot says:

    Did I break your concentration?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 8:44 pm

    talking to yourself, now, nutcase? look out, they’ll be coming after you. you’ve utterly lost it, like Romney. too perfect. like him, you’re a liar and possess little self-control.


  259. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Bart, I’ve already pinted out (in #389, above) how you have selectively cut-and-pasted pieces of my posts in a desperate effort to salvage any semblance of what once might have been a reputation. I pointed out how the post that you try to present as evidence that I later contradicted in fact contains the “however” that you desperately need it not to contain. (Only I didn’t use “however” — I used “Now, to be fair” instead).

    I really don’t have anything to prove to anyone who’s been following this thread; you’ve established your character pretty solidly by now.

    I think I’ll sit back now and watch you talk to yourself, like always do when your Bartlebee threads are abandoned by all other posters. I always enjoy the strings of six or eight consecutive Bartlebee posts, all saying roughly the same thing, over and over. It’s actually kind of impressive in its own way. You’re not an idiot savant, by the way, are you?


  260. Fred says:

    Bart, this has been going on for almost 6 hours…..I have been to dinner and came back and you are still going…

    Listen to me bart. Just turn the computer off for the evening…nothing goin on here that can’t wait till tommorrow….please.


  261. Impolitics says:

    Ooh I know one thing, even if you win the rat race you’re still a rat.


  263. Lefty Patriot says:

    How “BUSTED” can one guy be?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 9:00 pm

    Not as “busted” as you, you poor sap. you’ve set the standard for “busted”. You’re becoming famous throughout the blogosphere for your insane rants and foolish contrivances. People across the country are snickering at you, even now, as you blather on helplessly, creating persecution where there is only mockery, and spotlighting yourself as a target for scorn. Congratulations, you’re the Clown Prince, the graduate from the Clown College you like to assign your betters to. You’re a Joke. A sad, sick, twisted Joke.


  264. Lefty Patriot says:

    Can you explain why you were arguing with me, trying to play semantical games when you yourself came in here believing the article clearly implied Romney lost control?

    Can you explain that mr holier than Bartlebee?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 9:07 pm

    bart, I already showed everybody that you were wrong on both points. That’s why there’s nobody left, because you’ve been defeated, destroyed, humiliated and PWN3D.

    But thanks for playing, and losing.


  265. Shayne says:

    Hey Bart, you’re #1, you’re #1. Attaboy, you won, you get first place, woohoo. You showed us, yep you’re the man. Believe me the next time I consider having a discussion with you I’ll remember not to.


  266. ralph the wonder llama says:

    In ONE BREATH, you’re arguing with me that the article does not imply that Romney lost his cool.

    But four hours earlier you declared that the article was wrong for implying Romney lost his cool.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 9:05 pm

    I think I’ve located the problem.

    You have somehow equated “IMPLY” with “STATE”. You keep claiming that I argued that “the article does not IMPLY that Romney lost his cool” (emphasis mine).

    I have never made such an argument. Perhaps you misunderstood that I was talking about the text of the article and what it expilcitly SAID, not what it implied.

    Please try to keep these two concepts seperate in your future rantings. Thank you.

    Now don’t let me interrupt; continue your monologue. As I write this, the best you’ve done so far is five comments in a row. I know you can do better.


  267. Shayne says:

    Because now everyone reading this, sees what FAKE you really are.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    Sure Bart everybody reading here thinks Ralph’s the problem. Glad you got it all figured out.

    Quiet, Shayne. You’re a minion!


  269. Fred says:

    Bart, have you written to TP to complain? Seriously if you believe this strongly then surely you have taken action. I hope you’re not just the type to talk about it and do nothing. I’m sure they will welcome your opinion.

    While you are at it I think you should complain about the abuse you have received here….especially since it is so well documented.


  270. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Come on, gum, have a little respect. How’s Bart ever gonna get to double figures in consecutive posts if we keep interrupting him?


  271. Fred says:

    I mean what is it that you so called progressives think is wrong with what I orignally said, that warranted the 6 hour attack on me by so many of you?

    I’m waiting.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    It’s just me bart….I’m the only one here. I’m the only one that’s been here all along.


  272. Lefty Patriot says:

    ust because Fred(DimWit) and Ralph decided to change their tunes and start attacking me?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 9:42 pm

    bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

    bart’s a loser! again!

    he’s on a roll, he’s got a streak going!

    LOSER!!!


  273. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Tell us what exactly about my saying the article is wrong for implying that Romney lost his cool, is wrong???

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 9:35 pm

    Okay, okay, Bart, since everyone else keeps interrupting you too, I’ll tell you.

    Nothing is wrong with your saying the article is wrong for implying that Romney lost his cool.

    You have every right to say that, and I agree with you on that.

    But you are wrong when you claim that the article said that Romney lost his cool. It didn’t say that. It implied it. If you can’t understand the difference between those two concepts, if that is mere “word games” to you, then I’m afraid I can’t help you any further. This saddens me, because you do need help.

    Oh, and you are wrong when you said in this thread that various people who disagreed with you are liars and worse.

    You were also wrong when you claimed that the reason I’m here is “To start shit with me. Just like you do in EVERY thread you find me in.” But then, you know that, don’t you?


  274. Lefty Patriot says:

    ralph, the reasonable people here who have disagreed with each other have done so in good faith, and the world has kept on turning. bart is the only one who insists that his opinions be adopted by the group. bart is a fascist, and a lousy excuse for a liberal. he is also a troll, and no soubt will be treated like one henceforth. this is his own fault. all I can suggest at this juncture is what we all know is best for trolls: ignore him.


  275. ralph the wonder llama says:

    FACT: Bartlebee ios wrong about several thing but has his mind made up.

    FACT: No amount of logic, structured argument or evidence can change that one tiny bit.


  276. Lefty Patriot says:

    notice that bart will never understand the subtleties of good discourse; with him, it’s “my way or the highway”, like another mewling little fascist we all know too well.


  277. Lefty Patriot says:

    notice how bart will lower himself even further into the muck of his twisted id to make even more vicious personal attacks, on mothers, even, all the while supported only by other trolls. this indicates the depths of igniminy to which he has fallen in his vain attempt to shape the dialogue to suit his own sick needs, his delusion of adequacy.


  278. Nevar says:

    I’m losing you, Bartlebee, hold on while I switch trees…

    There, that’s better…

    What were you saying?

    Romney has quietly proposed, even politely and repeatedly smiling?


  279. ralph the wonder llama says:

    “It implied it”.

    Didn’t BART say that hours ago?

    Comment by justasking — January 19, 2008 @ 9:49 pm

    (sigh) another one…

    No. Bart says that the article (headline, really) implied it, but he will never admit that it doesn’t actually SAY that Romney lost his cool. When challenged, he cannot quote a specific line that says “Romney lost his cool”. All he can do is copy-and-paste the whole article and hope that his claim of implication will snow people who aren’t paying close attention.

    Do YOU think there is a difference between “implied” and “stated”?


  280. Fred says:

    Wow, I gotta tell you guys that I am 56 years old and I have never seen anything like this….

    this just shows the miserable state of our health care system…..seriously poor bart needs to be monitored and he is not getting the care he needs.

    This has been funny, annoying and finally just sad and a little sick. Why doesn’t someone care enough about bart to take care of him? So much for the republicans theory that family members should take care of these folks……someone has dropped the ball. Seriously.


  281. ralph the wonder llama says:

    notice that bart will never understand the subtleties of good discourse; with him, it’s “my way or the highway”, like another mewling little fascist we all know too well.

    Comment by Lefty Patriot — January 19, 2008 @ 9:51 pm

    Notice? Notice?? it’s not like it’s a subtle feature of his persona that he’ll never understand the subtleties of good discourse. It’s actually kind of his defining characteristic.

    But he is entertaining in his own way.


  282. ralph the wonder llama says:

    I didn’t say anything bad about his mom. I said her “clients” were quite satisfied.

    :|

    Are you “implying” you can discern my meaning from that?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 9:56 pm

    Well, Bart, I would never claim that you SAID anything derogatory toward anyone’s mother with that statement. I would, rather, say that it was a clumsy attempt at playground insults.

    But, given your stated understanding of the rules of discourse, by your own standards, you could be accused of a pretty vile personal insult. Am I right?


  283. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Do YOU think there is a difference between “implied” and “stated”?

    Comment by ralph the wonder llama — January 19, 2008 @ 9:55 pm

    You’re like that wonderful llama in Dr. Doolittle. The push-me-pull-you-llama that never could decide which way to go.

    Comment by justasking — January 19, 2008 @ 9:59 pm

    So does that mean you can’t answer the question?

    Do YOU think there is a difference between “implied” and “stated”?


  284. gummitch says:

    Not that I want to interrupt or anything, but McCain is being projected as the wiener in South Carolina, besting Huckleberry by 3-5%. Romney and Thompson are wrasslin’ for third.


  285. ralph the wonder llama says:

    but he will never admit that it doesn’t actually SAY that Romney lost his cool.

    Comment by ralph the wonder llama — January 19, 2008 @ 9:55 pm

    No you lying twit, I admitted it the minute I said implied.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 9:58 pm

    Oh, okay. I must have missed that. Then you essentially admit that you CANNOT show where the article said “Romney lost his cool”.

    If you’d just come out and said that six hours ago, we could have spared ourselves all this entertainment.


  286. ralph the wonder llama says:

    All I said was that it was wrong to make that claim, when its clear that Romney didn’t lose his cool.

    And not one of you morons can denounce that

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 10:02 pm

    WRONG asswipe. I agreed with you that the headline was wrong to IMPLY that Romney lost his cool.

    Fact: Bartlebee said “not one of you morons (supposedly referring to those who “attack” him) can denounce that

    Fact: BARTLEBEE IS WRONG

    AGAIN.


  287. gummitch says:

    Ask a question if “implied” and “stated” are the same?

    Comment by justasking — January 19, 2008 @ 10:06 pm

    Seriously, assbreath, no one is interested in your joining the game.


  288. Fred says:

    can I buy an exclaimation mark?


  289. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Yes, Ralph. There’s a difference.

    What will your other angle be?

    Ask a question if “implied” and “stated” are the same?

    Comment by justasking — January 19, 2008 @ 10:06 pm

    No “other angle”. Your earlier post made it sound like you, too, believed that a headline that implied something was the same as a headline that stated something. It just seemed an odd thing to defend.

    Although I see Bart’s also given up that position now.


  290. Fred says:

    seriously, a few drinks and this is starting to be fun again……wtf?


  291. Fred says:

    heh, I have seven or eight people here…we were going to play some music but they got to looking over my shoulder and we started scrolling up so everyone could catch up…..bart…..you’re a hit!!!!!!!!!

    Oh so people can’t be on my side now?

    6 or 7 people against ONE guys not enough for you?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 10:12 pm

    The troll is looking to be a minion, Bart. Are you that desperate?

    Have you ever considered the possibility that people pile on you because of your behavior? I mean, instead of there being some kind of conspiracy, or a convention of sock puppets?


  293. Impolitics says:

  294. ralph the wonder llama says:

    but he will never admit that it doesn’t actually SAY that Romney lost his cool.

    Comment by ralph the wonder llama — January 19, 2008 @ 9:55 pm

    No you lying twit, I admitted it the minute I said implied.

    Here, I’ll do it again. The article doesn’t come out and say the WORDS, (something I’ve already said if you scroll up numbnuts), but it CLEARLY IMPLIES IT.

    There is NO DIFFERENCE, other than the MEANING is IMPLIED instead of spelled out.

    And in my examples, was there any difference of my stating those things?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 9:58 pm

    Here’s an interesting post.

    Bartlebee says he admitted that the article doesn’t say Romney lost his cool “the minute (he) said it implied it”.

    That, to me, says that the two are not the same thing. If when one uses one term it automatically cancels out the other, then they cannot be the same thing, right?

    But then a coule lines later, he says, “There is NO DIFFERENCE”. kind of a contradiction. Oh, but then he follows with, “other than the MEANING is IMPLIED instead of spelled out.”

    To me, and I think most of the people here, that is a pretty big difference. Not to Bart, apparently.


  295. Impolitics says:

    Well, one must remember we’re dealing with someone who engages in vile, personal, attacks against any who dare hold a different opinion.

    Hey! Doesn’t that sound like a troll?


  296. Fred says:

    conclusion here…

    he’s either insane or he’s driving up the post count for whatever reason…….

    couple of bowls and a few more drinks and we will have an update…..

    starting a pool…


  297. ralph the wonder llama says:

    you spent 6 hours arguing with me that the article never implied it,

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 10:11 pm

    You are WRONG.

    I, unlike you, use words with some precision, and “implied” means something different than “stated”. I have never said the article didn’t imply your contention. I said IT DID NOT SPELL IT OUT, as you yourself admit.

    So it comes down to this: I believe that there is a difference between something that is implied and something that is spelled out. You do not.

    It’s that simple.

    Well, you also believe in personal insults as a means to prove you’re right. Does that ever work for you?


  298. ralph the wonder llama says:

    No, justasking, it sonds like a troll. Impolitics is right.

Mr. P is jealous.

  307. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Well done, Bart. You’ve copied-and-pasted convenient snippets of my posts how many times in one post?

    That’s gotta be a record.

    Of course, since I pointed out in post 389 that you neglected to include the line from my original post where I point out that the article doesn’t say what you want it to say, each and every one of those cut-and-pastes is an instance of you taking something out of context in order to make a dishonest point.

    Now, who does that as a matter of habit? Rush Limbaugh, maybe? Bill O’Reilly? Michael Savage?

    And what did Bartlebee say earlier in this thread?

    I don’t tolerate lies from the other side so I’m sure as hell not going to support them from this side.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 3:48 pm

    Ironic.

    But very entertaining.

    I predict that Bartlebee will still be keeping this thread alive tomorrow morning, talking to himself.

    Very entertaining indeed.

    Ah, that reading comprehension again, Bart.

    Do you understand the difference between a headline and an article?

    No? Didn’t think so. Understandable, given your demonstrated lack of precision, and consistent obliviousness.

    In my original post (in which I agreed with you) I pointed out that the headline was misleading. I said “mistake”. I should have said misleading, because the implication was misleading. But in that same post, Bart, I continued and pointed out that the article itself did not say that Romney lost his cool.

    This has been my position all along.

    The headline was misleading.

    The article did not say Romney lost his cool.

    Knowing your limited verbal skills and cognitive ability, I can understand that you have a difficult time grasping these two seperate concepts. That’s why i’m willing to be patient and explain it over and over again.

    But I can also understand how much fun it must be for someone like you to throw your feces against the wall. Heck, you’re even throwing other people’s feces against the wall.

    Notice Justasking, how they automatically jump on you, ignorantly and rudely, like gummitch did, just for pointing out an obvious error in their claims against me.

    Its par for the course.

    This almost makes me feel sorry for the neocon trolls.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 10:31 pm

    I’m rude?! You’re a scream, Bart. There’s some homily about glass houses, Bart, and you really ought to look it up.

    I didn’t jump on him ignorantly, but rather because of his track record. Just because he’s suddenly sucking up to you, and you’re feeling persecuted (as usual), the troll is your little pal. I guess you really are that desperate.

    If you two want to wash each other’s balls, maybe you could take it to email. It’s icky.

    You’re a troll. Politics are irrelevant. You’re defined as a troll by your persistent behavior.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:01 pm

    You said you were leaving after you lost the last fight, so what’s stopping you? Do you feel a need to lie about everything? And take justassing with you. You can both waste somebody else’s time with your overinflated egos and empty rhetoric.


  323. gummitch says:

    Actually, me and Justasking have disagreed with stuff in the past if memory serves me correctly.

    But the fact that they agreed with me and that bothered you, is quite telling gummitch.

    Quite.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:05 pm

    What is telling is that you evaluate everything in terms of yourself. Everything is not about you, Bartlebee.

    And, as far as I know, justasking is not a “they”. Pretty sure there’s just the one.


  324. Nevar says:

    And now I’m a troll?

    HA!

    When it takes 5 to best one, the one is clearly the best.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:09 pm

    Not if the one loses as completely as you did. You’re just the one loser. You were bested, dusted and busted. The only person in the world that thinks you won is you. If that doesn’t tell you how screwed up you are, nothing will. You are one of the most miserable little shits walking the planet, a shallow, empty shell whose only hope is that somebody, somewhere will allow you an imaginary “win” in your imaginary game. Your supporters tonight are the John Kerry troll and the justassing loser, who never has anything useful to bring to the conversation. That speaks volumes about what a loser you are.

    Do you remember me chiming in on the thread you and one other person were in by yourselves the other night(late) justasking??? you are definatly a troll judging by what you had to say about the regulars at this site. Why would you say those things and then try to act like you are not a troll?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:11 pm

    Bartlebee, are you high? You’re the one who referred to justasking as “they”. Go ahead, look up there a bit. Where you get this other business about your handle is a mystery.

  334. Lefty Patriot says:

    What about Barltebee’s original statements that the article was wrong for implying Romney lost his cool, was wrong?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:19 pm

    pointless. it’s an opinion. some agree, some disagree. you’re the one who started name-calling and strutting like some imaginary king. for the record, Romney loses his cool at 14 seconds in, recovering about ten seconds later. you see it differently. that, in the real world, is the end of it. only in bartlebeeville does that become a situation of insults to our mothers, vile name-calling, and defensive whining on your part. you want a referendum, then you lose. you attack, you get counter-attacked. you lose. like George Bush, whose behavior you model so beautifully.


  335. Lefty Patriot says:

    Actually, me and Justasking have disagreed with stuff in the past if memory serves me correctly.

    But the fact that they agreed with me and that bothered you, is quite telling gummitch.

    Where you get the “they” “them” business is another mystery.

    I repeat, also: justasking isn’t a “they”.


  339. Lefty Patriot says:

    Why don’t you try and make me?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:26 pm

    How unexpected, another bartlebee lie, another promise broken. And in such a mature manner! Are you trying to become the laughingstock of the whole liberal world? You’re getting close. TP regulars certainly are snickering at your childish antics and tantrums.


  340. Impolitics says:

    Damn. Someone got knifed at the bar and the band packed up. And I still think Mitt “lost his cool”. And I still haven’t “attacked” anyone.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:28 pm

    it’s unlikely that Faiz will buy your insane mutterings, either. but knock yourself out; maybe he’ll take pity on the rest of us and throw your ass out. It’s a sure way to get some cash from me.


  342. Fred says:

    where are ya justaskin…..you talked pretty tough the other night when no one was around…..maybe I can find the thread and post a link to it…..lots of folks here probably be interested in what you have to say behind thier backs….


  343. Impolitics says:

    What did Mitt say at the 57 second mark? I think it’s “bull”. Then, at the very end, he has his stooge usher away the reporter, after Mitt turned his back, rather than answer for his (Mitt’s) lie.

    Not Cool!

  345. Impolitics says:

    This story is about Mitt. No one else. Mitt “lost his cool”, evaded the question, then, had his goon prevent further discussion.


  346. Fred says:

    Romney NEVER ONCE raises his voice. Never. He is FIRM, but he NEVER, EVER gets rude, upset, out of hand, or anything even remotely associated with losing ones cool.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    yeah, barf. romney’s a real peach of a guy……..heh…..gawd damn son…give it up.


  347. Impolitics says:

    I think Mitt did “lose his cool”, though it was minor and “composure” might be a better word. However, the real question is; how many MSM outlets will run a story about Mitt getting caught in a lie?

    BTW, I think the reporter should have let him finish and hit him at the end, but, I can understand how one would become frustrated having to listen to these creeps day after day. Personally, If I were forced to listen to one of these stump speeches, I would probably end up screaming obscenities.

    Comment by Impolitics — January 19, 2008 @ 4:11 pm

    My first post on the subject. So, Bart, where’s the lie? Where’s my disregard for the important issue that Mitt lied?


  348. Lefty Patriot says:

    Romney did not lose his cool, but the sad part here, is the real story, that is, Romney lied, is lost on this red herring.

    This lie.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:48 pm

    Romney lost his cool, and lied. they are one and the same with Romney. You are a simpleton who has no understanding of human behavior. What does he have to do, pull a gun? just because you’re too self-involved and stupid to see that Romney lost it doesn’t mean everybody here is as sad a case as you. Get over yourself; you’re weak, simple and screwed up.


  349. Lefty Patriot says:

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:55 pm

    We all know that you can’t admit a mistake. it’s a character flaw you display constantly. Too bad you’re so wrong so often; it makes you look like a nutcase.


  350. Lefty Patriot says:

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:57 pm

    there is no lie in TP’s post. Too bad for you that your reading comprehension is on a 4th-grade level.


  351. Fred says:

    ooooo….this is gonna be fun.

    Comment by justasking

    where’d ya go oclare by another name…….what’s up with that anyhow? Do you have multiple personalities or something? Everyone seems to know who you are anyway and what your are up to so why live the lie…

    bart. you sure you want this troll on your side?


  352. Lefty Patriot says:

    A lie just to defend your lie is despicable behavior, bart. You should be ashamed, but you seem to lack the capacity. a sure sign of sociopathy.


  353. Impolitics says:

    I still think he did “lose his cool”. I haven’t lied. I haven’t “attacked”. I have clearly stated my opinion and the behavior which led me to this opinion.

    Some agree. Some disagree. What’s the big deal? Is it possible that Bart, like a nut-case religious fanatic, can’t accept that someone might come to a different conclusion based on the same evidence? Perhaps he just can’t live with a dissenting opinion?


  354. Lefty Patriot says:

    but you’ve yet to identify one.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 11:59 pm

    Your first mistake is claiming that TP’s post is a lie, when it clearly is not. Your second mistake is in taking an insulting, superior, holier-than-thou tone when you are caught in your mistake. Your third mistake is arguing with those who are obviously your intellectual superiors, getting beaten badly, and continuing your “dance”, as you called it, accurately. It certainly isn’t a fight, more like a ballet with you in a pink tutu and toe shoes, falling on your ass every minute or so.


  355. Lefty Patriot says:

    Shouldn’t TP be held to the same standards of journalism as any other media outlet if they expect to be taken seriously as a media source?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 12:01 am

    What is that, some sick joke? What media source has standards higher than TP’s? Nobody in the mainstream, no television network, certainly. You’re a fool.


  356. Lefty Patriot says:

    did I insinuate you lied, bart? Sorry, I meant it as a clear statement: you are a liar in accusing TP of lying in this post.

    Clear enough, liar?


  357. Impolitics says:

    Let me be clear I am making no judgement on his truthfulness but as far as “losing his cool”, I didn’t see that.

    I think TP owes Romney an apology on this one.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 19, 2008 @ 3:28 pm

    What about that comment is wrong?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 12:01 am

    Well I, and others, did see Mitt “lose his cool”. So, you are wrong to think TP owes him an apology.

    BTW, I still think he said “bull” at approx the 57 second mark, though, it’s difficult to say because it wasn’t picked up by the mike. I freely admit I may be mistaken, but, I didn’t lie.


  358. Fred says:

    HAHAHA!

    WHAT?

    Comment by justasking

    yea…….justaskn….getting closer now aren’t we…..you were snipping on the regulars with Sappyen who seemed to think you were knowledgable…..I got the impression that Sappyen was just gullible…..I’m looking for that thread and I will find it……..k?


  359. Lefty Patriot says:

    “Now I’m sure TP didn’t mean to lie. ”

    that’s your own line, reprinted above by you, bart. it’s an accusation of TP lying, couched in the slimy newspeak of a troll. there is the clear proof of your lie.

    Wear it, liar.


  360. Lefty Patriot says:

    Clear proof of your lie, in your own words. You have been owned, bart, you’re through. keep banging that empty, liar’s head against the wall, it won’t change your lie to truth.


  361. Fred says:

    thats it….600 posts…..that fender twin is mine……yay.


  362. Lefty Patriot says:

    Because I hold TP to the same standards of journalism that I, and they, hold Fox news to, does not make me the enemy. It makes me their friend.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 12:11 am

    your lies make you a friend of the enemy, thus an enemy. You have painted yourself into a corner, and you are stuck there. You don’t hold anyone to any standards, since nobody listens to you. You imagine that you do, but obviously, nobody does, You are fully delusional. TP corrects its mistakes; in this case, there’s nothing to correct. Although if they banned you that would be a correction.

    Oh, another lie. Thanks, I’ll add that to the score. you keep burying yourself deeper. It’s getting hard to tell if it’s because you’re pathological or stupid.


  367. Lefty Patriot says:

    Oh, did I write a Huckabee thread for TP? That will be a surprise to everyone. Well, I never wrote a post for TP. All I’ve done is clean your clock and send you running back to your momma with your tail between your legs. Twice.

    hey bart…..with your high moral standards and everything is black and white then why is your ally justaskin…..this individual is known to be blackhearted and a troll yet you ally yourself readily just because you are alone and have no one on your side……is this how low you are willing to go?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 12:29 am

    Ah, posting your first loss. This one wan’t embarrassing enough for you. You are the sick one. that one had the whole liberal blogosphere laughing at you. I’d visit other sites, and your insanity was the talk of the town.

    I guess you value attention more than reputation. Little kids are like that.


  372. Lefty Patriot says:

    you accuse me of trying to change the subject.

    It boggles the mind.

    Then don’t do it. I didn’t bring up your complete humiliation on the Huckabee thread, you did. Liar. I didn’t bring up “Pete”, whoever that is, you did. I never said TP praised Romney, that’s another of your lies. How many lies are you going to tell on one thread?

    he certainly did. As have you, hundreds of times.


  375. Lefty Patriot says:

    He lied. And thats the real story thats being lost with this misleading story.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 12:36 am

    and you lied. That’s the real story of your sick, pathetic whining.


  376. Lefty Patriot says:

    Of course, I’m sure in your family what you just stated passes for honor.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 12:37 am

    TP made no false statement. Honor is not something you have any familiarity with, we can see.

    That’s the whole point. YOU don’t see it. Others do.

    And for that? We are called “fools”, “liars”, and worse. You, apparently, can’t leave it at, “I disagree”. That, in my opinion, reveals a character flaw.


  378. Lefty Patriot says:

    You have to SHOW where I lied, and so far you’ve failed to do that.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 12:38 am

    I have pointed out all of your lies, and documented them. Your ignoring them isn’t going to make them go away. in fact, it just adds to their weight. Your mental laziness and your deep state of denial are your only protection from your own psychoses, obviously. You even repeatedly attributed a statement to me that I never said, implied or hinted at. You’re a liar, palin and simple. Naturally you’ll deny it, that’s what makes a liar. You’ve not corrected any of your lies, just denied them, as expected from pathological types like you. You’re all alone out there in the darkness, scared of everything. get help.

    that’s good, go back 9 hours to find someone who agrees with you. so what? We already determined that the discussion was about opinion, and that the argument was about your incivility and egomania. And your ever-burgeoning collection of lies and personal attacks, of course.

    I’ve been hanging out at sites which are competently moderated. Obviously my decision, since I haven’t been banned. Just a self-imposed exile to locals which have fewer idiotic children.. But, when “that fanatic MARTYRBEE at TP” was mentioned, I decided to grace you with my wisdom once more.

    Ask and ye shall receive, sh!t-stain. Please refrain from mentioning me again. I want nothing to do with you foolish infants.


  391. MiMiCcs says:

    I certainly am not a Romney fan but if thats losing your cool, then the whole world must be on Prozac. I was impressed with his poise. He made his point forcefully, but respectfully. His aide looked like he was getting hot but Romney intervened. McCain would have told the guy to F$%K off! Huckabee supporters might have lynched the dude. I was looking for a little action there and got left hanging. Someone owes me 2 minutes for my time (10 bucks)


  392. Shayne says:

    Opinions are like a$$holes Bart, everybody has one. And many of feel that Romney lost his cool. You don’t have to like it, it just is. And justasking outed himself as Mr. P the other day, you don’t have to like that either, it’s just the way it is. You can be friends with him until he gets kicked out again. It’s your business.

    Your attempt to deny me my opinion is offensive. Who the hell do you think you are? you may disagree with me but no amount of childishness on your part will deny me my right to my opinion….get over yourself. Who do you think you are g bush or some other facist dictator?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    This is a lie that can be verified by simply reading back through this thread. You are the one that turned on me. You decided that I was not entitled to an opinion on this and that is what started this. You immediatly resorted to namecalling….called me a troll and then you began an 8 hour marathon poor me session……gawd what a snivellling child. Grow up or go away. You will not deny me my opinion even if you think it is wrong. I am certainly not swayed by your petty childishness…..

    right on the money, Fred. bart always pulls this crap; he’s got more issues than National Geographic. Small brain, small dick, that sort of thing, makes him strike out at the world through his envy and paranoia. You don’t have to take it, he’s but flyshit on your heel. he’s becoming quite infamous for it, too.


  407. Lefty Patriot says:

    Lol, the fact that you’ve spent half the night arguing with him is a pretty good indicator, sparky.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 1:21 am

    another lie to add to the pile of bart’s weak, cheap lies. you’d think he’d put some effort in, but no, he’s too damn lazy.

    Well, you got the first part right. And I have posted no more than 5 replies to justassing’s lies. half the time? do you know the difference between the big and little hands, child? I’m off, my puppy will deposit some more of your ideas in the woods.


  411. Fred says:

    bart, put aside your hurt feelings for a moment. Am I allowed to have an opinion? Even if you think it’s wrong.


  412. Lefty Patriot says:

    Everyone else agreed with me, and left when they saw the fight starting.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 1:31 am

    everyone abandoned you, knowing full well that I would win the day. But you spin away to your heart’s content. Your constant lies and fantasies can keep you company for the rest of the night.


  413. Fred says:

    you have had your say for 8 hours or more bart….if you wish to be taken seriously then you must be fair. You have to address my one simple question. Am I allowed to have an opinion that is all my own?


  414. Impolitics says:

    I’m mentally ill, for saying, and sticking to my guns, the same thing that practically ever other blogger in here said, except for you few, who ALL were part of that Month long debate in the huckabee thread, and who have followed me ever since.

    Its YOU, and only you, other than gummitch, who is always arguing with me anyway, who attacked me tonight. Everyone else agreed with me, and left when they saw the fight starting.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 1:31 am

    There you go again. I didn’t “attack” you tonight, or any other. Yet? I still disagree. I don’t know, or care, what happened a moth ago. It has nothing to do with me. However, you’ve seen fit to, repeatedly, call me a “liar”, and worse, for stating an opinion you don’t share.


  415. Nevar says:

    I find it kind of cosmic that the longest running thread of the evening has the same tenor of the candidate the thread began upon.


  416. Fred says:

    You just keep pasting something that you think supports your side of the argument but will not discuss anyone elses viewpoint on the subject….you ignore reasonable questions and just paste your bs in instead.

    That is not discussion or an argument bart. That is dictating…..you are trying to be a dictator and no one is allowing it. News flash bart, you are no dictator.


  417. Impolitics says:

    Am I allowed to have an opinion? Even if you think it’s wrong.

    Comment by Fred — January 20, 2008 @ 1:33 am

    Obviously, the answer to that is “no”. Bart only accepts the opinions of those who agree with him. Everyone else is a “liar” and/or an “idiot”. It must be a horrible way to live.

    It’s a pity, really, all he would need to do is say, “I disagree. Sorry for the name-calling”. But, my guess is that’s not included in his character.


  418. Fred says:

    I never stopped you Fred.

    Like I said 8 hours ago, you’re free to have your “opinion”, and I’m free to refute it.

    And since your “opinion” is a blatant LIE, you can bet your ass I’m going to excercise my right to refute it.

    No matter how much you whine little girl.

    Well then you should be able to get him to join us here tonight unless you’re lying about that too.

    How does he do it?


  423. Fred says:

    Accuse Faiz of lying because his words don’t agree with your position.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    I don’t believe he will call me any of the vile names that you have called people here tonight just because they disagree with him. Are you absolutly sure you want anyone…..let alone Faiz to see the things you have said to people here tonight? I think you will be in for a big surprise if that should happen bart. I wouldn’t count on you and him being buddies…..


  424. Nevar says:

    So now you’re accusing Faiz of being just as disingeneous as an INSURANCE COMPANY?

    That’s low.

    Comment by justasking —

    Sure, Faiz is lying to me.

    Accuse Faiz of lying because his words don’t agree with your position.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE —

    Are you two in the same room together?


  425. Fred says:

    I can’t speak for anyone else here but I personally think your email from Faiz is a figment of your warped imagination. I am afraid you are delusional. I got an idea. Why don’t you log in as Faiz and try to fool us…….how about that….we might go for it.


  426. Fred says:

    Ok bart….produce faiz or depart from us for the lier that you are……lets see if you can run two windows at one time and keep it straight.


  427. Impolitics says:

    The facts don’t matter to them. Its all about me, and attacking me. Whatever position I take, they take the opposite. Their goal is to attack me, and try and drive me out, because I clearned their clocks in a debate on atheism.

    I just posted comment after comment made by practically everyone in here today, that came in before the debate started, and they all agreed with me.

    Now the blog owner also agrees with me, so whats their tactic?

    Why smear the blog owner of course.

    Discredit his intentions. Discredit his words.

    Just like the neocons do.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 1:59 am

    I still disagree with you as I suspect the author would too. I still haven’t “attacked” or “smeared” anyone. My only “beef” with you is your insistent attacks on all who express an opinion you don’t share due to your bizarre insistence that we are all in league because of a past argument.

    Also, Faiz said he “tends to agree with you” and would discuss the story with the author. Not quite justification for your behavior. I would be willing to bet that the author will make the same points I did, and, possibly Faiz will concur. That, of course, is up to him and I will respect his decision should he change the story. Or not.


  428. Nevar says:

    Just speaking for myself, I wish justasking would come back and listen to me answer her question: “Who AM I”
    I guess she’s really not that interested.
    Her questions are just used as a control drama, building blocks for the wall she builds around herself.
    It’s easy to lob rocks at people over the fence when you can’t see who you are assaulting.


  429. Fred says:

    How exactly am I supposed to “produce Faiz” dickhead?

    Here is his words, exactly as he wrote them.

    Just as a point of pointless correction, Bartlebee. I am not “always” arguing with you because I rarely waste the time. In fact, even last night I didn’t “argue” with you other than to suggest that your approach to Truth needs some work. It’s only in your intense paranoia that anything I said to you could be construed as an “attack”, other than my comment about you and your would-be-minion’s little lovefest.

    I hope this whole thread makes you happy and that you’ve convinced yourself that you’re victorious. What it is that you’ve won is clear only to you, judging from the responses, and your ability to ignore any suggestion that you would get farther by modifying your behavior and turn those suggestions into “attacks” is your problem.

    And, no, I haven’t been hanging around arguing with your for the last 12 hours or more. In that period of time I did my grocery shopping, took a nap, fixed dinner, decanted some port, drank some 1998 Riesling, had dinner, watched a movie, read a few chapters of a novel and had a great night’s sleep. Now I’m off to do the laundry. You had better get some rest so you’re prepared for the next “attack” on your Fortress of Truth.

    Was he irritated by this? Does a dictionary tell the truth?

    Since it seems unlikely that you will learn to use people’s names with courtesy and since you seem a tad obsessed with Happy Days characters (as well as a bunch of other stuff), would you mind letting go of the Fonzie thing. I am way more of a Chachi type sort of fellow.

    If you’re looking for someone to misread a post, jump to an illogical conclusion and then meltdown defending it for 24 straight hours then look no further than BARTLEBEE.

    He’s jumped to conclusions about my comments in the past and put words in my mouth, followed by name calling.

    He insists that everyone here be polite to the other side and apologize for his misunderstandings while calling people names and insulting them.
    He’s also a whining crybaby who complains to Faiz when he’s not getting his way.

    No one should tolerate any further lectures from this s/he/it!! BARTELBEE is an example of the WORST the left/progressive side has to offer! It is not all of the rest of us as he claims repeatedly!!!

    TWO MINUTES prior to my comment which he claims now was me “starting the insults” he comes in and out of the blue INSULTS me.

    FIRST.

    And he has the nerve, to sit here this morning and claim I started with the insults.

    No punk, I just told you to go do what you do every day, and go f$#k yourself, in RESPONSE to your insult of me.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 2:56 pm

    oh, yeah, that’s the same as “go F$#k yourself”.

    You’re lost, and out of control, like Romney.


  467. dixie blood says:

    Besides, the one that you brought up for citation was an argument that was started by Dixie Blood when she wished for the death of Tony Snow, knowing full well that he is a cancer patient.

    –Comment by justasking — January 20, 2008 @ 2:49 pm

    A COMPLETE LIE!

    I did not wish Tony Snow dead!! That’s your reading of my post and putting words in my mouth just like BARTLEBEE!!

    My point, and let me be clear here for those who quickly jump to conclusions and look for fights!

    I certainly wished him more suffering at the hands of this disease. I DID NOT WISH HIS DEATH!! That’s your misguided conclusion!


  468. dbadass says:

    Note that the comment our crazy friend cites makes nothing more than a statement which might or might not be taken as directed at a specific individual as per their ow psychcosis. It is also interesting to note the others who have mentioned the gentlemans predisposition to knee jerk reactionary comments and perceptions of being attacked in some self deluded idea of competition


  469. Lefty Patriot says:

    I think i’m done with this poking of bartlebee with a stick. It’s entirely too easy now; he’s thoroughly predictable and no challenge. besides, my legs are tired from kicking the stuffing out of him.

    You folks keep at it, though. Maybe some day he’ll learn what adult behavior consists of.

    No bets, though.


  470. dim wit says:

    Dim Wit in fact is still trying to jumpstart the atheism debate, which he got his ass so cleanly handed to him on in our last 1600 comment debate.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 3:01 pm

    See Bart, here you are wrong. I am not trying to jumpstate the atheism debate. I am simply trying to poke you with a stick to watch you fly off the handle.

    But as you are the arbitrator of truth and fiction, I guess it is I who is wrong and you who is right.

    Bartlebee, defender of truth. Do you fancy yourself a comic book superhero?


  471. dbadass says:

    I really liked the part about wanting to puke. So Bartlebee have you figured out yet that I am not dim wit or any othe the others you have mistaken me for yet? Remember the dumb shit about me being a pimply faced 19 year old in my mother’s basement? Your clueless

  475. Lefty Patriot says:

    Do you want me to post more?

    Comment by justasking — January 20, 2008 @ 3:11 pm

    You may as well, since you’ve just proven yourself to be a liar.


  476. Lefty Patriot says:

    come on, justassing, dig that hole a little deeper. you’re a liar, by your own hand you’ve showed us all. keep digging.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 3:05 pm

    actually Bart it probably means he is going to watch the Giants/Packers game which is what I’m going to do as well.

    I gave you all morning to talk smack and you failed me. But now you decide to show up right as the game has started.

    You can be so selfish. Have you no consideration that maybe some of us wanted to watch football later this afternoon?

    Cancer or no cancer Tony Snow is a Facist phu(kwad LYIN’ CO(KSU(KER from Davidson COLLEGE!! Just another Bushite MORON!!!

    You would think that surviving a sometimes mortal illness, as all the well wishes from both sides of the political spectrum, would have helped this vampire reform just a touch!!

    Nope, that’s why I’m now pulling for the cancer!!! Why does Tony Snow hate America?? Ask his cancer!! This GRINCH will never find his heart!!

    Comment by dixie blood — January 13, 2008 @ 3:13 pm

    This is what started the argument on the thread.

    Do you want me to post more?

    Comment by justasking — January 20, 2008 @ 3:11 pm

    As you can see by my own words I never wished “death” on Tony Snow. I said I was pulling for the cancer. The difference is that he might suffer more until he NOT an ENEMY of the PEOPLE!! No that he die!! That’s your misguided conclusion!!! READ AGAIN!! NO MENTION OF DEATH! NONE!!!

    No death…none…you see how jumping to conclusions looks soooo stuuupiid!!


  481. Lefty Patriot says:

    come on, justassing, show ussome more of your lies. you accused dixie blood of calling for Snow’s death, yet you have just proven you’re a liar. All you have is Snow-type attacks. are you cancer-ridden as well? it would be in your brain, judging from the low level of your thought process.


  482. Lefty Patriot says:

    Too bad Mitt and bart both lost their cool. it shows weakness of character. No surprise in either case, though.


  483. dbadass says:

    I don’t give a shit what Mitt did or did not lose which is why I did not take any position on that. I stand by my position that Bartlebee totally lost something but it wasn’t his cool. It was his mind and I think the 841 posts attest to my position.


  484. Lefty Patriot says:

    and the headline of this article is MISLEADING and NOT FACTUAL.

    the headline is perfectly factual; Romney is quoted directly from the Jay Leno interview. bart is wrong on the facts, as usual.


  485. Lefty Patriot says:

    that’s why I’m now pulling for the cancer!!!

    Comment by dixie blood — January 13, 2008 @ 3:13 pm

    Liars from the beginning.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 3:20 pm

    So from that we must infer that nobody has ever survived with cancer.
    Pretty lame, as usual.


  486. Lefty Patriot says:

    You’re SO progressive.

  487. dbadass says:

    Bartlebee, would you be opposed to me making these comments available to some professionals and allowing them to make some assessments as to the mental state of all of the characters? I will be happy to post them without an bias or alteration and including myself.


  488. Lefty Patriot says:

    bart has a partner in the LOSER’S DANCE!


  489. Lefty Patriot says:

    Way to raise the discourse, bartie. used kotex, wow, how junior high school! you’re a pathetic weakling.


  490. dixie blood says:

    Just so the BARTLEBEE assh0le doesn’t leave me out of context like so many others here (it’s one of his cheating methods) here we go again and I will leave it there. If this troll can’t read it then enough already. Moron is as moron does!

    As you can see by my own words I never wished “death” on Tony Snow. I said I was pulling for the cancer. The difference is that he might suffer more until he NOT an ENEMY of the PEOPLE!! No that he die!! That’s your misguided conclusion!!! READ AGAIN!! NO MENTION OF DEATH! NONE!!!

    By the way, Bartlebee
    If you scroll up and read, you will find that I never made any such claim so try a different pronoun.

    Crazy


  494. Lefty Patriot says:

    Why don’t you copy and paste all of the comment.

    Comment by justasking — January 20, 2008 @ 3:29 pm

    justassing, you’re a proven liar, by your own hand. who should believe for one second your sob story? if you weren’t such a lying ass, maybe you’d get a little sympathy, but you have destroyed your credibility with your foul, vituperative act. nobody to blame but yourself. man up, crybaby.

    See?

    Ddumbass just admits that he is a dirty, lying peice of shit.

    Bartlebee

    Hey Crazy guy, any chance of you explaining this? Can you show where I took a stand as per Romney or is your paranoa causing you to mistake me with someone else again?

    If it helps I can spell it phonetically for you. Notice that I have yet to insult your name nor intentionally misspelled it.


  496. Lefty Patriot says:

    No need. His name is guaranteed to evoke derisive laughter and snickers. he’s quite well-known as a nutcase throughout the left blogosphere.

    justassing, on the other hand, is just an ass.


  497. dbadass says:

    Hey Bartlebee,
    By football, I assume you mean soccer as I have no interest in that other game. You’re mistaking me for Dim Wit again. Damn are you insane!

    Y’all,

    BUBBLEBUTT claims to be progressive but loves and defends all our enemiesand hates all of us. He loves and defends the lying, c0cksuker Tony Snow and moron Mitt Wit (Cut American Jobs) Romney.

    Those of you who claimed I was lying about Faiz, can now eat some more crow.

    I have come to find the taste of crow to be a delicacy…..I at least can admit when I’m wrong….apparently you did actually get an email from him…I don’t see how that makes me a loser though…..I also don’t see how it makes your opinion more valid than mine…..they are opinions.


  500. Lefty Patriot says:

    Because you can. Because you have no social morals.

    Comment by justasking — January 20, 2008 @ 3:42 pm

    Oh my Bartlebee’s Army of One is ganging up on me with testicle jokes. What shall I do? Shall I go looney tunes for hours on end or maybe we can just find some more pictures of acrazy bald headed dude trying to grill some steaks.


  502. Lefty Patriot says:

    Bartlebee is correct. It’s just about turning this site into a social group.

    Faiz,

    You unleashed a monster here for no reason. The story is correct as originally written. No, no, no correction or update required. BARTLEBEE played you and now is going to be your new unpaid site-monitor troll. Bad move.


  504. Lefty Patriot says:

    And if you think I was hard on this story, just wait till the MSM gets ahold of it.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 3:51 pm

    now there’s a righteous equivalency: you and the professional, paid liars. excellent.


  505. Lefty Patriot says:

    Notice that TP didn’t change a single word of its post, bart, it merely exposed your foolishness a little more. and you think it’s a victory. what a droll little troll you are turning into.


  506. Lefty Patriot says:

    After 800 comments and over 24 hours, I’m still waiting for you to prove your “valid opinion”.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 3:55 pm

    fred. don’t bother. bartlebee has proven many times that he’s blinded by his own perfection, and unable to see what adults can see.

    That’s why I previously posted that Faiz should have just ignored this troll. Now he’s getting even more rude!

    bart is winning like Rudy is winning.

    Bwahahahaha!


  509. Lefty Patriot says:

    I saw Romney lose his cool, as did many others, including TP. bart loses.


  510. Fred says:

    Lefty,

    As in the thread about Tony Snow, Dixie Blood’s comments weren’t just offensive to Snow but to anyone that has survived cancer.

    That’s what the crux of the arguement was. Read it. If you want to be informed.

    Your insult to me doesn’t just offend me, but anybody that is now, will be or has survived cancer.

    Comment by justaskin

    You’re speaking for a lot of people there…some of us really are dealing with this problem and yet I am only offended by your self serving attitude about it…..funny how people like you show your colors in a blog like this and then want to demand respect….


  511. Lefty Patriot says:

    Faiz has made mistakes in the past, and, like today, shows that he’s still capable of making them. two worngs don’t make a right.


  512. Lefty Patriot says:

    You’re just noisy.

    Comment by justasking — January 20, 2008 @ 4:01 pm

  513. Lefty Patriot says:

    keep on dancing, bart. a handful of people see what you see, a handful see what I see. your childish tantrums have changed nobody’s mind, ever, and have only served to cement the impression that you, like Romney, have lost your cool.


  514. Lefty Patriot says:

    I need no supporters, bart. I destroyed your puerile arguments single-handedly, and will continue to do so. Your idiocy and foul-mouthed vituperation are easy targets. You haven’t laid a glove on me, and never will.


  515. dbadass says:

    This has had extremely little to do with Romney for quite some time. Print it out and have your local theather group adapt it. I think you might see something different


  516. Lefty Patriot says:

    Opinions, bart, simple opinions, held in good faith. what’s wrong is your insistence that everybody hold your opinion. nobody else who agrees with you has attacked everybody that doesn’t, so the problem, as usual, is you. not Faiz, not fred, not me, but you and your antisocial, immature, ill-considered ranting. and your “support” disappeared many hours ago, never to return. whaddya know about that.


  517. Lefty Patriot says:

    Perhaps you should go back to your argument that TP was actually trying to PRAISE Romney, lol.

    :D

    At least that one had a sense of comedy to it.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 4:08 pm

    ah, back to your lies again. you can’t resist returning to your roots as a liar, can you? either way, you lose, because you’re a born loser, and a born liar.


  518. Fred says:

    Oh , yea, you and FRED.

    You and FRED are all correct, and EVERYONE else, is wrong.

    You’re correct, but Waynes wrong.

    Plungers wrong.

    Moderations wrong.

    I’m wrong.

    Faiz is wrong.

    Pluege is wrong.

    Lyona is wrong.

    Jims wrong.

    Even your PAL, RALPH the Wonder Idiot, is wrong.

    And you TWO, are right.

    :|

    And you call me the crazy one, lol.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    sorry barty….you may not speak for me……show me proof…..since you’re so fond of demaning it from everyone else….where I said these people or you were wrong….I said I have a different opinion but I never tried to deny even you of your opinion…..why would you think I would let you deny me of mine?

    See this boils down to opinions…..you ranted about how it is black and white but it’s not and you have a childs view of the world if you think it does.


  519. Lefty Patriot says:

    From 14 seconds in until 24 seconds in, Romney loses the smile, his throat tightens, he breaks out in a sweat, and fails to mask his anger and frustration. How blind are you, bart? Why was the video posted in the first place, if you are so damn right? Because you aren’t, that’s why. Typical pussy liberals, giving the enemy the benefit of the doubt, and all the time wondering why the incompetent repigs run all over you.


  520. Lefty Patriot says:

    “You on the other hand, just admitted what a dirty, lying scumbag you really are, in that you never were interested in the debate.

    Only in starting trouble.

    Well you got trouble dickwad.”

    This, folks, is how a lunatic “talks about romney”. This is one of hundreds of examples of bart staying on topic. as you can see, the topid is bart’s anger, bart’s lack of control, bart’s rudeness, and bart’s immaturity. Nothing about Romney at all, just personal attacks on somebody who doesn’t share his opinion.

    pretty sad. but very revealing.


  521. Fred says:

    How am I denying you of your opinion little Freddie?

    :|

    HUH?

    HOW?

    By CHALLENGING IT?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    by calling me a liar and telling me I am wrong in what I say is my opinion…….what is complicated about that?


  522. dbadass says:

    Well you got trouble dickwad.

    Because I’m still here, and you’ve been proven to be moot.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 4:11 pm

    If you mean trouble like when the crazy guy keeps following you down the boulevard maybe. If this is tough guy talk. Not so much. Anyway

    So what where you toughts on my earlier idea….

    Bartlebee, would you be opposed to me making these comments available to some professionals and allowing them to make some assessments as to the mental state of all of the characters? I will be happy to post them without an bias or alteration and including myself.

  523. pete says:

    The following is a copy of an email I sent to Faiz. I urge all of you, reasonable, people to send a similar message.

    Hi Faiz

    I could not be more disappointed in your decision to placate an infantile, abusive, disruptive, malcontent like BARTLEBEE. He is the worst of the “trolls” which plagues your site and should be removed. I think you owe an apology to all who have been subjected to the vicious, abusive, ravings of BARTLEBEE. I think you made a tragic mistake which damages the credibility of Think Progress and the Center for American Progress.

    I hope, some day, you decide to raise the level of moderation to match your site’s content. As it is? TP is not a forum for the exchange of ideas. It’s a pitiful joke which serves only to foster ill will. A joke which is no longer amusing.

    Comment by justasking — January 20, 2008 @ 4:05 pm

    Why is it that when some kid in Iraq gets blown to peices by American bombs we shrug it off as colateral damage, but when a piece of shit like Snow gets cancer and someone makes a comment about it now becomes offensive to anyone who has had cancer?

    It must be the same hypocrisy that proclaims abortions as baby killing but also proclaims universal healthcare as government welfare.


  526. dim wit says:

    The REST of us, who are just HONEST AMERICANS, want the TRUTH, and not their untenable “opinions” that they try to sell as truth.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 4:34 pm

    There is NO truth, you self centered fool.

    Its an opinion. TP has posted the video and the person watching it gets to make the decision about whether they feel Mitt’s response is in line with his prior commentary.

    But no. you don’t get this. You just have to be right. So YOU make it about right and wrong, truth and fiction. But thats just YOU. That doesn’t make this about anything more than what it really is, which is the decision of the viewer to decide.

    That just needed repeating…Thanks dim wit!


  534. Impolitics says:

    Sorry Bart. The “update” is not a retraction. Merely an acknowledgment that one “squeaky wheel” has a different opinion.

    My opinion is that Mitt “lost his cool” and, if one views this clip:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdGUSjd3Tmo
    It’s more obvious.

    What’s more telling is that, at the end of the youtube/cnn video, Mitt goes after the reporter following the conclusion of the speech. He was plainly angry the reporter called him on his lie. I have no idea why TP used the clip they chose as it doesn’t show the second exchange and is of poor quality.

    BTW, If one googles “Romney loses cool” there are a number of stories out there which reflect my opinion, and a few that don’t. Many people share my opinion, and many don’t. Personally, I have no problem with that. But, Bart is still WRONG for attacking people who, without attacking him, refuse to cave to his point of view. And? TP is DOUBLY WRONG for tolerating such behavior from anyone. Indeed they need to clean up this “cesspool”.

    What, another distraction rather than answer the question posed? You make my point for me. thanks….I already stated that I loved the taste of crow so you can go get it and post if if you would rather do that than actually enter into a dialog and answer our questions.

    We’re waiting for your opinionated evidence, but you fail to produce it.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    Well I guess I need a definition…..My dictionary says this is not a word…….

    opinionated

    furthermore….opinionated evidence seems to contradict itself….much as you do bart.

    Don’t make me go get THAT post.

    Comment by justasking

    While you’re back there, how about some of your early postings to this blog; when you came on all caring and concerned, and begged us to be kind and civil to one another… come to think of it, that was about the same time your friend Bartee started to lose his cool.
    Are you sure you two aren’t in the same room together?


  542. Impolitics says:

    Like WHERE EXACTLY on the video does Romney do anything even remotely close to “losing his cool”?

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 20, 2008 @ 4:57 pm

    14 seconds into the TP clip. He’s flustered. He changes his tune in mid word. He clenches his teeth. He flushes a bit. And, eventually, he just evades the issue with a cheap semantic trick. It’s more obvious in the CNN clip which also shows the second confrontation.


  543. Fred says:

    They have no core beliefs or values. I don’t why they call themselves progressive liberals.

    Someone must have told them it was cool or something.

    Comment by justasking

    your core beliefs seem to be that you have the moral authority to decide for all of us what is right and wrong….no discussion from you just judgement………now think of something to say that is not judgmental..but make some kind of legitimate point please.

    I’ve answered your questions…how about it…..you going to continue to be dishonest or are you going to try to be something besides an irritant?

    I guess JA, the German word for yes, is going to have to step up to the plate now.

They spin this neocon troll reasoning week after week about me because I don’t “want to be part of the group”. I don’t know if you’ve ever joined in on that mantra, but you probably did change your opinion more than once to suit the collective thought or “group think”.

    I helped! I flagged, copied, and pasted every single incident of, unprovoked, abuse (I should have counted them. It took hours.). Plus three emails to Faiz. The “dear departed” Bart was a stain on every person who visits this site. Far worse than any annoying little neocon troll.

    My apologies to Bart for thinking no one could be more off kilter than he. Clearly you have proven me wrong in this respect. You are a neo-con aren’t you. You use the Rush philosophy of taking everything out of context.

    Exactly how did I offend the Rasta religion? hmmm? By referencing their god I am now somehow offending them? If that is the case every Republican on the campaign trail is an offense to Christianity.

    Then again why are you even here? You have already noted ” I don’t “want to be part of the group” “

    Greetings Fred. Nice to meet you. I admire your ability to “keep your cool”. I had the unfortunate experience of tangling with “MARTYBEE” once before. I even left the site rather than read his crap. Him or me. It was bad for my blood pressure.

    You know. It’s actually a bit sad. If “MARTYBEE” had been able to distinguish between disagreement and “attacks”, he’s not too bad. But, he’s got problems. And he lies. And he spams. And denies the very existence of contrary opinions. And he even turns on people who try to agree with him.

    Hmm? I guess he is that bad. I half expect he will appear under another alias when he sees me here. But, he shouldn’t be hard to spot.

    I don’t care at all. Whatever I say, I stand by, especially if I was particularly rough on a poser like you. What’s your disease tonight? How about rectal-cranial inversion? that should be slightly more believable than whining about cancer to get some sympathy.


  628. Moderation says:

    Wow, so BARTLEBEE is gone? He really did flip out about this issue, and the atheist issue previously. Once he started going off on everyone who disagreed, I had to leave the thread. Most of the time, BART was fine. But man, if you disagreed with him and refused to back down? Sheesh.

    If you come back, BART, under whatever handle, please just calm down. When you are lucid, you make valid points. But there is a switch in you that is flipped, that you need to learn to flip back off. Such an incessant refusal to back down, and to essentially scream for 9+ hours straight is going to give you a heart attack, literally. :(

    Necessary? Perhaps not. Yet, as one of “MARTYRBEE’s” targets, I think it’s justified. I have zero tolerance for someone who calls others liars, and much worse, for taking a contrary position on a subject which is in dispute.

    So far as I’m concerned, he deserves every contemptuous remark sent his way.

    Greetings Fred. Nice to meet you. I admire your ability to “keep your cool”. I had the unfortunate experience of tangling with “MARTYBEE” once before. I even left the site rather than read his crap. Him or me. It was bad for my blood pressure.

    You know. It’s actually a bit sad. If “MARTYBEE” had been able to distinguish between disagreement and “attacks”, he’s not too bad. But, he’s got problems. And he lies. And he spams. And denies the very existence of contrary opinions. And he even turns on people who try to agree with him.

    Hmm? I guess he is that bad. I half expect he will appear under another alias when he sees me here. But, he shouldn’t be hard to spot.

    Comment by pete

    Hello yourself Pete. Much calmer discussion here it seems….thanks for taking a lead in resoving it. I honestly have never seen anything like what happened here and I agree that bart probably is in need of counciling at the very least.

    Not too hard to stay cool once you realize that somone is literally round the bend but then what to do becomes the issue. Glad TP finally took a look. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a hard decision that something had to be done.


  646. pete says:

    Thanx, but, I don’t think I “took the lead”. I just saw an opportunity to give things a little push. I don’t think it would have worked without the calm approach displayed by you and a few others. Otherwise the complaint about baseless insults would not have held water.

    I never wanted to see Bart gone. While I disagreed with him, I think he had the “right” to post whatever crazy talk he wanted to. I didn’t complain to Faiz. I didn’t e-mail TP. I think its ironic he’s gone (it was his own doing) but I’m not taking credit for it.

    As for the Huckabee post, Bart was right about one thing. I said I wouldn’t let him get the last word. Well I got lazy and didn’t post for a day or two and that bastard DID get the last word, thereby proving me wrong. I think it is only comic irony that since HE quit, and he took all of his posts with him, HE gave me the last word.

    So, for the record, I wasn’t taking a parting shot at him.

    I did. Disagreement and trollish insults are one thing, but, out and out slander is quite different. Argue all you wish, but, unjustly calling someone a “liar” for holding a contrary opinion is inexcusable. I was able to live with him slandering me and was content to avoid TP comments. However, when he was mentioned on another site doing the same thing again with a fresh set of victims? I had no hesitation “dropping a dime on him” so to speak. And, if he returns to pull the same crap? I’ll do it again. And again.

    G’night dw.


  651. Fred says:

    I’m with Pete. Bart totally derailed this thread and slandered most of the people here…..complaints to TP did not include requests to ban him…at least I didn’t and when TP approached Bart and requested that he tone it down he refused and so that’s how that went. I would do it again. There is really no excuse for any blog or discussion group allowing that kind of behavior and I am appalled that the trolls have almost free reighn here.

    I too believe that bart needs some serious mental health assistance and I don’t believe what was going on here (apparently on multiple occations)was beneficial for him in any way. I think it nearly destroys him. That in itself is enough reason in my opinion to put a stop to it. So, bottom line, if you really cared abut Bartlebee you would have wanted to end this for Barts sake.

    Only Bartlebee banned Bartlebee, because as I told you guys before, I would decide when it ends, not you. And I decided to end it today, and I stated that. Only you can’t see my comments because they were deleted when my account was deleted. Its as if I never existed, which is after all, what some of you wanted. Thus, I have granted your wish.

    I decided when it ended, not any of you, regardless of the lies of the braggarts like Pete, who bark like a strutting peacock at empty air.

    As for you Bart, I read your last posts before they were deleted. You last words were “Free at Last” which I don’t fully understand considering there was never anyone or anything here which forced you post on TP. Its not as if you were somehow imprisoned by TP or its posters. You were always free.

    And Holly, while I don’t think you are Bart, you have sullied your name. Your future comments will always be read with a Barlebee-tinged suspicion.

    It is totally irrelivant whether bart was banned or left on his own. The quote at the beginning of this post says it all for me. Bart is in need of medical care Holly and if you are not Bart and you know him in real life then I reccommend that you do all you can to help Bart get the help he desperatly needs.

    Bart has no opponants here. He is his own opponant. Until this incident I thought we were in this together for the most part against what I would consider collective opponants……bush supporters, etc.

    Whether or not The Romney replicant lost sight of its temper control protocols…
    I would be happy if it did. Reporters can be obnoxious, and too much power has been ceded to them by public figures.
    And I don’t think the press is too liberal, far from it.
    As personified by Tim Russert, the arrogance of the press needs to be trimmed back.
    They phrase the question “Isn’t it true that…” instead of “is it true that” making a queation an insinuation, placing the person on the defensive before they even respond.
    They are no better than politicians – they are in business to create spin and controversy and horse races to sell papers and air time for “HEAD ON-APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD”
    It’s all a foul symbiosis and the reporters deserve no special treatment or special respect for their noble and hallowed profession. And candidates should be allowed free speech even if it is testy in tone.

    And now you claim its unimportant whether I left on my own or was banned, yet here you are, bragging about how you got me banned.

    Which further demonstrates your collective comfort with dishonesty.

    So while Pete thumps his chest and struts like a proud peacock, and the others mock and insult and slander a man who is no longer here to defend himself, nor are his words, just remember this.

    I decided when it ended, not any of you, regardless of the lies of the braggarts like Pete, who bark like a strutting peacock at empty air.

    I decided when it ended, and it ended when I decided, on my timetable, not yours. So enjoy bantering about how messed up Bartlebee is. After all, your pal who’s too afraid to admit the handle he debates me under, deleted them all, so as to cover up his embarrassment. Its what I’ve come to expect from you, as this story above, which is clearly misleading, talks volumes to your character, or lack thereof.

    The high standard you clowns hold Fox news to somehow escapes your own code of conduct.

    There are those of us out here who do not side with liars. Neither on the left, or the right. And you are liars, for promoting a story that is a lie, for your own political gain, which relegates ThinkProgress into nothing more than Think TABLOID.

    And alas, for BARTLEBEE, it is thankfully become Think EGRESS.

    So I thus, gladly and for the last and final time, bid you my boasting, bragging, self congratulatory truth challenged nimrods, good morning.

    oh….and in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.

  659. mike831 says:

    Romney didnt lose his cool, he kind of smirked and smiled and might have come across as somewhat condescending or a little sarcastic but in no way did he lose his cool. The premise that Romney getting CAUGHT lying was the same thing as him losing his cool borders on the riddiculous and shows some of you are grasping at straws, getting caught lying is no more losing your cool thasn getting caught speeding or soliciting a prostitute is and its slimy and misleading to imply otherwise.

    Also saying something misleading about Romney on a liberal site does nothing to hurt Romney since the vast majority of left wingers who frequent this site would never vote for Romney anyway and the few Right Wingers that do visit here would never be influenced by that anyway. however while dishonesty like that wont serve to hurt Romney it can serve to hurt the credibility of TP and other left wing sites………..we SHOULDNT try and imitate Fox News or Karl Rove we should strive to be better than them and to be the side of truth, facts and integrity, rather than lies and slimy deceptions. Sure you might quibble that the article title was “Romney insists he never lost his cool”……..but thats misleading because he clearly didnt lose his cool he got caught spinning and or lying about an uncomfortable premise that clearly undermines his position and campaign.


  660. mike831 says:

    Losing his cool shouldnt have even been an issue because it never happened the issue is Mitt is guilty of hypocrisy and lying…….spinning and sensationalizing things only serves to diminish our credibility not his……and when he already diminished his own credibility by getting caught there was no need for us to do likewise and risk hurting our cause.

    So “mike831″ why do you speak as if you don’t know who Bartlebee is? You note in your last post “that anyone who doesnt agree with you is this Bartlebe guy” and then “you seem to be obsessed with this Bartlebe Character” yet post 761 is from Bartlebee (its signed by Bartlebee) but is listed as:

    So clearly you must know Bartlebee. Otherwise, is”this Bartlebe Character” posting under your handle without permission?

    Curiously, your arguments also always seem to mirror Bartlebee’s arguments. Are you a Bartlebee protege? Maybe a “friend” or alterego of his? Either way you tried to distance yourself from him in the last post while exhibiting behavior in prior posts which suggest you know him.

    And to think you call me delusional….

    look, this post is getting inconvienent. so feel free to attack me in a more current post. I’ll read this post once more at the end of the day and then I’m not coming back – if you want to have the last word you can have it – I’ll read it, but won’t respond.

    Delusional sure seems to fit TROLL………there you go again lying and venturing in to the riddiculous to assign me a position that is in no way based in reality, fact or truth. your spinning like a top punk.

    I NEVER ONCE stated I didnt know Bartlebe, what i did state is I am not him and since that is reality you seem to have a difficult time grasping that concept. I’ll make this REAL simple so even a Simple Simon like you can possibly grasp it…………..it would be utterly absurd for me to post a response for a person I didnt even know…………Yet that is your delusional position along with the completely contradictory fact that myself and several other distinct people ARE Bartlebe.

    Your arguments are all over the place and quite incoherrent like a delusional schizophenic……….i’ll lerave you with this DIM WIT……..please either show a shred of proof that I either dont know Bart or that I am Bart or STFU and stock spewing lies like Karl Rove would.
