Calling someone a "teabagger" is name calling. See the post from mnottertail please. And no, Fornica, the hat goes on the head. But maybe that's a cultural thing.

no its not, they have called themselves teabaggers. its all over out here. this has been ground out like hamburger thousands of times, it is no more name calling than calling someone a lefty. maybe you go get them posts where people start calling folks socialists and howl at them moons.

I seem to remember the teaparty declaring themselves teabaggers before anyone else did. to get upset about it now is disingenuous. and a joke.

It's not teabagger. It's Tea Party. But you knew that. Also, you seem to think that "socialist" is name calling. However, it's the name of the particular political system.

Lucylastic -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 12:25:02 PM)
OK iI can see that facts dont seem to matter, so play on.

Fornica -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 12:25:41 PM)
Context and tone are everything. If I was to say "teabaggers are fucking morons" in an exasperated way, that would totally be name calling. I wouldn't though.

Lucylastic -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 12:28:22 PM)
I would qualify it with "SOME teabaggers are fucking morons", because yanno, not all of em are....its just that some of them are overly fond of showing themselves to be just a FM. political comments are allowed,

It's Tea Party. Also, you seem to think that "socialist" is name calling. However, it's the name of the particular political system. Tea Party is not on the list of any registrations required for voting in our country, and it is not a political system.

It's Tea Party, not teabaggers. That is not what we call ourselves.

Notsweet -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 12:39:46 PM)
I said that "socialist" is the name of a political party. And it is. I did not say that "Tea Party" was the name of a political party. It is the name of an organization. To say otherwise is a lie.

Notsweet -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 12:42:13 PM)
"Teabagger," as I would assume everyone here would know, is the person who orally stimulates testicles from the lower position, thereby mimicking the dunking of a tea bag. The TEA Party is an abbreviation meaning "Taxed Enough Already." I'm sure you didn't mean to name call, but in fact, by using "teabagger," you offend people in the TEA Party.

Its Americans: not socialists, not freedom of speech haters, not marxists, not stalinists, not lazy, shiftless, unkempt, raggedy, lying, unamerican, murderers, unemployed, lawless.........ad nauseam, that we call ourselves. I hold out little hope for your little feel good shit as I do mine.

I'm sorry, mnottertail--I was referring to what the people in my political circles call ourselves. I'm not sure what you're referencing. Please explain?

Lucylastic -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 12:47:50 PM)
the high road has just been washed out in a flood of irony

Notsweet -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 12:52:53 PM)
I'm sorry, Lucylastic, what did you mean by that?

Do you feel not being able to lie stops you from getting the facts across ? I wont even touch the trolling about fascists.

No, sorry, you dont have any idea what I wrote and there isnt the time to try to explain it to you quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity Leftists have a strong fascist streak generally, and are always seeking to ban any form of speech that they feel threatens their failed ideology Basically they cant debate on the level so they need an edge to push their misery on to the population, resulting in Orwellian laws such as this Lmfao.

I'm confused about how we've come to the "All (name the party) lie" technique of claiming to support the truth.

mnottertail -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 1:00:06 PM)
But you have time to parrot everythinge else under the sun, and derail threads? The law says you cant lie in newscasts in canada, which of course leaves faux totally without a canadian station. And you havent got time to explain what you wrote, that doesn't have anything to do with the topic? Why even show to the thread then?
