>>What do you call trying to make a point out of pasting the same quote twice, but changing one of them to read "retard" instead of "gay".... and equating the two?

<<
*RETARD* is YOUR word. I don't use that word, and frankly dislike those who do.

Yea but doesnt this new prop 68 (I think that's the right number) give them like 10 more casinos? I see all the against adds on TV saying it will worsen traffic

I think horendous is a level that's not gonna be surpased by a few casinos

The tribes get revenue and the state gets much needed revenue and a bunch of jobs are created. Sounds win win to me at least.

sorry Tweety - I should know full well by now how sensitive you are about slights commited against great swaths of humanity.

I take back "'tards"... replace it with yer "dow syndrome" and go forth....

Why Nash? Why is the word offensive? Because it LABELS the ENTIRE child. A child can have emotional defecits, physical deficits, or mental deficits. To label them a "tard" just shows how narrow minded and insensative a person is. You see - I don't care what party you hang your hat in - crap will float. Empathy will get you a lot further in this world than ignorance.

"Snake in the grass" is pretty mean too. I think the Democrats prefer Natrix natrix.

Holy.... Dude....

You compare gays to people who have downs syndrome....

So I used the word tards....

Now you're callin' me out for the word 'tards', when... at the end of this entire thing, you've basically insulted every tard and ghey person ever.

Yer saying that tards are as bad as gays.... and that gays are as bad as tards.....

It's disgusting and you oughta stop.

Nash, I substituted a different obstacle a child might face to illustrate the ignorant narrow minded way of seeing a child as one thing. YOU helped illustrate the point. NO child is a "tard"
Children have all types of deficits, and there is an indiviual with gifts and strengths and even regular weaknesses under those obvious surface deficits. Only the narrow minded and ignorant paint them as "tards."

Lip service is easy, Nash. Compassion is consistant

Tweety, what I took from that was Sen. Edwards said it was good that Cheney wasn't a homophobe, unlike the President. That Cheney would embrace his daughter and try to provide her a happy life with her partner, unlike the President.
I didn't notice any "gritted teeth" when Cheney replied, in fact he looked about as docile as I've ever seen him. You are painting the picture very distorted from what it actually was.

Nash · « **Reply #68 on:** October 06, 2004, 01:58:01 AM »

Yeah... I don't have compassion because I use the word 'tard'.

You have compassion because you see both being a tard and/or teh ghey as a bad thing.

Is this part of the compassionate contardavism?

Ok Nash. If thats what you believe, and I don't think it is - nor do I think most people reading will believe.

Yea - Tweaty just wanted say gay's are "tards."

Right Nash - hope you get a lot of milage out of that.

cya

I'm always late on comebacks..

Cheney should have said..

"why thank you, and I'm glad you and Mrs. Edwards love your test tube babies as well"

Day late dollar short is me

Edit: oh now its flooding

"how long were they in the refrigerator?"

"Which magazine did you use?"

"You should be so proud to have started an artificial family after the death of your daughter, and its grand you embrace them!"

Seriously such remarks would be just as gross as the ones Edwards made. Its just an illustration of the ignorance behind such passive agressive attacks.

and more...

" Did you get a single or double bed pietre dish?"

"Well at least you're sure they won't be alergic to acrylic. Embrace that fact."

....

Tweety's quote makes perfect sense.

To me, and I think Tweety as well, what Edwards is saying is simply, "Hey, Cheney you and your wife are great because you're daughter is an embaressment to you but you love her anyway"

Nash, you can spin this all you want. Tweety nailed it.

Read the quite AGAIN:

"And you can't have anything but respect for the fact that they're willing to talk about the fact that they have a gay daughter, the fact that they embrace her. It's a wonderful thing"

Like she's should be some sort of dirty secret to the Cheney family. Like they should lock her in the closet.

Scumbag move on the part of Edwards.

Some folks on this board really earn my respect because they are intellectually honest. Some just toe the party line and look like mindless partisans.
