Yet another fantasy argument created in our nutjob poster's mind, that wasn't indicated by the opening post, but argued against anyway. ____ Christ this smarmy ____...

You're a pretty awful person Doc. Like, seriously.

Anyway, we can all agree now that the most reasonable interpretation of Subs opening post was a criticism of the Obamas based on a intellectually consistent opposition to capitalist profiteering as Marxists typically understand it. He wasn't mocking the Obamas for being hypocrites implied by his previous history of describing them in Marxist terms. No, he himself has recently become influenced by that thinking. I'm sure this will show up in future posts.

Believe you me, having you, of all people, pass judgement on me is a point of pride. You're hands down one of the bigger pieces of crap I've seen post, but I do give you credit that you're pretty slick about your crap baggery.

Where did i make that argument you moron?
Pretty sure i literally called them capitalist pigs.


This clever insult to Michelle was hard to miss. Hairfire has a notebook full of clever insults collected in Junior High which he accesses daily. Capitalist pig is one of the more clever. Now EAllusion made a somewhat speculative interpretation following a possible line of reason implied by the post. A bit gracious of him I thought when a reasonless pile of pig offal was the more likely reading

let's assume this is a sensible coherent sentence, and that you can explain how the possible was implied?

This can't be a real human response...

I do not know why I would wish to attempt that. I thought your opening post was a juvenile insult to Michelle and nothing more.
