Thanks for the lobotomy, D.

You are quite welcome. I would have translated it to English, but I feel like had I done that, it would have taken away from the stupid.

On my local news affiliates Facebook page, there is a topic on the debt ceiling, and this little gem of fail happened to show up.

The only way I could respond was by sitting there with my jaw hanging open for a full minute and a half. WOW, that was horrid...

Ugh, the entire panel segment of the July 16th episode of Real Time with Bill Maher.

It's pretty much all bullshit. It starts with Maher complaining about Wall Street Journal printing a story about a guy with a mechanical hand getting a medal of honor, then it goes on into how economic booms are due to raising taxes...I'm not even kidding. They also talk more alarmist bullshit about how if the debt ceiling isn't raised then the world as we know it will end. The panel consisted of Dan Savage, Mark Cuban, and some woman whose name I forget. It was atrocious to say the least.


Here is at least part of the panel discussion. For whatever reason, I can't find the whole discussion that they had.

The first half was actually entertaining but then it just plunges into bogosity a million miles a minute.

Every comment left by blackacidlizzard on this video [yt]95O6lxrm8SA[/yt] and on this video:  [yt]b-kSyKhXzVw[/yt]


From the first video,

blackacidlizzard: "Socialists also claim that man needs to eat.

Digestion is socialist!"

Me: "Not sure what the point of this comment of yours is, but if you don't believe me, read the communist manifesto."

blackacidlizzard: "Do you not believe my claim? Read socialist literature, it is very clear that they support digestion, therefore digesting is socialist!

The point is that the support of a particular action by a particular group does not make that action a specifically (insert group name here) action."

Me: "*facepalms* Rewatch the video for the definition of socialism dude."

Me: "And check the 10th plank of the communist manifesto while you're at it."

The worst part of this?  He's an anarchist too...

Can you have an anarcho-socialist? Anarcho-communist I can see, but how would anarcho-socialism work?

I've always thought that Anarcho-Communism and Anarcho-Socialism are used interchangeably. Though Wikipedia tends to say otherwise.  Why do you ask?
There are people calling themselves "Libertarian Socialists" but I doubt you'd consider them a kind of Libertarian.

And another bit from this guy:

Blackacidlizzard:  "Goddamn you're dense.

Your claim made above, and reinforced by your insistence that people look at the Communist Manifesto (already read it, but thanks for the suggestion) in order to verify: knowing that socialists support public schooling is knowing that public education is socialist.

Oh, and every widely used political word means many distinct things, always including mutually exclusive things."

[Travis Retriever]

Heh, I'm dense.  He's one to talk.

"Hey you there making the pies, you have to share them with everyone so it's fair!"

"Oh really?  Do you have any guns to force me to?"

"No..."

"Well fuck off then"
