A guy more up your alley - Walter E. Williams who is "black by popular demand", gets the same treatment.

I definitely agree with what Hits was saying and was just having some fun. Maybe one day in my Libertarian utopia everyone will be thought of as an free thinking individual and not a focus group.

It is obvious that the Libertarian faction of this site have all the right answers. Just join our group and you can argue with both parties and impress your friends with how smart you are. :D

Mainly me. It's a burden, but I'm adjusting.

"Drink some more kool aid" has become the new "I got nothing" on this site, it seems. At least for this forum.

No it doesn't...let's be clear here, it just means that you are swallowing information and spin from suspect sources as if it were gospel truth.

Gosh!... I sound like Jay Carney!

And when the people who say it are doing the same thing with their sources...

Poll for what? These are comments straight from THE source, the users mouth.

I think what he's saying is that picking a handful of Twitter (140 characters, no filter) posts as a "liberals say this" indictment is pretty hilariously flawed.

It'd be like someone picking a few of Quaker or Belly's more insane posts (or, even better, Sleeper when he's in full-on "I'm playing my rich business owner role" mode) and using that as an indictment of "this is how conservatives are". I mean, I could take a fairly recent Jon Stewart segment which cherry-picked a few Fox News quotes and combine them with Belly's last few weeks worth of posts to say that All Conservatives Only Care About The Second Amendment As Far As The Constitution Goes, but that doesn't make that accurate.

Picking some form of social media, cherry-picking a few randoms and trying to make it an indictment of an entire political belief is pretty much a Full Retard way of making a point. Which probably makes it appropriate for our political forum, but can be seen through easily by anyone with a brain.

Sure, I get that. But what does that have to do with a poll?
