I'm supposed to believe they're being hyperbolic if they tell me they believe there's a spirit man in the sky who created and controls everything? They cannot possibly provide evidence for this, but they believe it to be so. <br /><br />And believing all racists are Republicans isn't that outlandish a belief, considering the beliefs some people hold. Many believe all whites are racists, full stop; or all blacks are worthless criminals, or all liberals are communists, and so on. They cannot possibly provide evidence for these beliefs and claims, but that in no way stops them from making them. <br /><br />Why should I put you in a category above the everyman? As I stated, maybe speaking plainly about what you mean is a better formula, rather than speaking seriously to someone in one sentence, and then deciding in the next to mix in a new literally device for -- what? I don't know. Shits and giggles maybe; laziness. Who knows. <br /><br />Far from "minutia."

Look at the polls once the third candidate was removed, she was doomed.<br />As far as racism in the Republican party we have to use the old truth, not all Republicans are racist but all racists are Republican. She was right to call out the racism in the gop. They should root them out themselves but why would they chase away a large percentage of their base? You say you know people who are racist against blahs, lemme guess with which party they identify. As another poster wrote, she was going to lose but at least she did something courageous."</i><br /><br />In the first part of this statement, you seem to be very serious and attempting honest discourse as a reply to my assertion that Mary screwed herself by playing the race card unnecessarily. There is no indicator, that I can see, which would suggest, "Hey, this next part -- don't take it seriously. It's just hyperbole!" <br /><br />It immediately goes in to explaining how you see racism and Republicans. Then, immediately after the part where you're now not supposed to be serious, you seem to be rather serious again, as if you're attempting to offer an honest assessment of the context. <br /><br />I think you just put your foot in your mouth here, and now need to blame <i>me</i> to backtrack because I dared to question Bruce Dickinson and ask the claim to be supported. I see nothing whatsoever to indicate that you were simply being hyperbolic and thus not literal. You seemed pretty f'n literal. <br /><br />As for "common sense," what's so common about sense? Most people probably believe ice melts faster in hot water than under cold water. That'd be "common sense," like there being a higher power or something.

There is no need to even attempt to have a serious debate with someone so literal. Good luck with the writing thing man. <br />PilotXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15234878016006206713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-69264003167481861452014-12-10T13:05:50.301-05:002014-12-10T13:05:50.301-05:00"THERE ARE A LOT OF RACISTS IN THE REPUBLICAN..."THERE ARE A LOT OF RACISTS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Is that better?"<br /><br />I don't know anything about "better." Different than claiming that the truth is every single racist is a Republican? Vastly different. <br /><br />So, intermingled bits of sarcasm strewn about serous rhetoric is supposed to be instantly spotted. To the extreme, in fact, that if the sarcasm is not spotted in the middle of an otherwise serious point, the person not spotting it is an anti-social loser, an idiot who cannot even earn a living. Now, yet a new standard emerges. Someone claims all racists are Republicans, and rather than attempting to back that empirical claim with evidence to suggest such, instead blames the other party for taking hyperbole seriously. <br /><br />There's a common denominator here, and that's that one party in question is pretty loose with their language, basically addressing serious topics and points with sarcasm and hyperbole, while simultaneously feigning a superior intellect over all those to whom he's speaking. <br /><br />As I suggested in the way-back machine: Maybe speak plainly to people? It's worth a damn shot, I would think. <br /><br />Say what you mean, mean what you say. Or is this just another example of the white man trying to oppress the brotha man?

E..."...but all racists are Republicans."<br /><br />Evidence for that claim? It is an empirical claim, so it should be able to stand up to basic scrutiny. <br /><br />And, seriously, I'm not buying that calling southern whites racist is "courageous." It's done frequently by hordes of Americans in media, academia, and politics. It is simply rare for a politician seeking election to do so. White southerners being racists is a meme at this point in pop culture. From hacks doing stand-up comedy shows to some random celebrity waxing sophocratic in an attempt to appeal to base emotion, throwing out the label of racist is the number-one insult in all of America. <br /><br />Want to inject a nonstarter? Want to libel an opponent? Want to garner sympathy? Want to gain attention? Want to insult someone? Throw it out there -- "Racist!" <br /><br />A close second is the charge of misogyny. E.g. "America hates women." <br /><br />And I predict that charge will eventually replace "racist," as too many people are getting sick of being called a racist for simply not being a progressive Democrat or believing in broader government, or not using emotion to guide rationale and decisions.
