Jaw, meet table.
| “ | Progressives who support the right of third worlders to strap on a backpack of TNT and explode themselves in the public market | ” |
Okay, nothing at all against Ed here, but... bwuh? Are we now saying that liberals progressives support terrorism? Did I miss a memo? The "article" made me smack my forehead more than once.
Also, could somebody tell me how the "Coyote Blog", the blog of "Warren Meyer, a small business owner in Phoenix, Arizona" with "the same attention span as an 8-year-old boy mainlining Hershey Bars" qualifies as any more authoritative than my LJ? (Hint: "Sources should be authoritative works, not merely published opinions by others.") --DHayes 20:00, 12 March 2008 (EDT)
- He seems to know what he's talking about. Why are you impugning his character, instead of trying to rebut even one thing he says? (Must I write an article on Liberal cheating?) --Ed Poor Talk 20:05, 12 March 2008 (EDT)
- Must I write an article on Conservatives breaking the rules they created? I'm not "impugning his character", I'm questioning his qualification and authority to comment on politics (and now Global Warming, as I recently noticed). It's a blog. By a small business owner whose political involvement amounts to... "running recreation facilities on government lands". Whoop-dee-do! He's an expert!
- Here's a thought: I seem to know what I'm talking about. If I create a blog and write my opinion on it, can I quote myself here on Conservapedia, too?
- Seriously, you broke the commandment. I don't have to rebut his "point" about terror-supporting liberals who realized that dumb people won't fasten their seat belts unless it's written in some law. (But since I'm around: Being "pro-choice" does not equate being pro-"lawless society in which everybody can choose to do whatever he likes") That guy is not authority. It's just his opinion. If his opinion really is so terribly true (oh noes) then you surely can find an authoritative source and actually write an article instead of just copy-pasting a paragraph and calling it a day.
- Here's a good "Before I hit "Save page" check for you: Next time you "write an article" like that, ask yourself this: "If DHayes did the same for the other end of the political spectrum, would I slap him?"
- On second thought, maybe I'll just write Conservatives and life where I'll briefly rant about how conservatives are inconsistent because they are pro-life and pro-death-sentence. Should I write a first draft on LJ first? ;)
