Speaking of "otherworldly", I have no idea what comment you were referring to - that's not me. Oopsie.

And none of the characterization was insane - it was all based in fact.

You must be really tired. Nobody here's done it.

I'd challenge you to prove your lie, but we all know how that would turn out.

Not a lie, in spite of what you wish. Just an honest mistake - reading 2 threads at the same time.

But speaking of lies, I would like you to prove your's:
"It happens in many areas. All the wingnuts can do is mock the people who don't agree with them: the majority of Americans, the rest of the world, climate scientists, the mainstream media, the poor, the sick, immigrants, minorities, etc. "

I've never anyone mock the sick, the poor.........where are you coming from?

I quote you, for crying out loud. That's the comment I was referring to. Is that so difficult?

You are both tired and confused, apparently.

Not a lie, either. Nor a mistake. I wasn't talking about you specifically - just wingnuts in general. And if you need examples of mockery, just look at any of the stupid "climategate" threads about how those who accept human-caused global warming are sheep. Or any of the threads about health care where you will find comments about freeloaders and people who just want to live off others. Or any thread about Fox News about how the MSM is liberally biased. Or any thread about immigration to see how the right mocks brown people. On racism, you can look at mossomo's comment about "almost black." Etc.

No, YOU'RE the one tired and confused. The comment that you quoted originally, where you insulted me the first time, WASN'T ME. Is that so hard to understand. You might want to actually read the name and who wrote the comment.

You haven't made your case, with me at least. Those who accept human-caused global warming are sheep (since the evidence to "prove" it is either highly suspect or missing.) There are people that are freeloaders and want to live off others. That's not mocking, that's fact. MSM IS liberally biased, and to deny that is ignorant. Hmmm, I just randomly checked out some immigration threads, and not ONE mocks brown people.

You leftwing kooks exhaust me......

Nope. Global warming evidence hasn't been harmed in the least. And yes, there are some people who are freeloaders and who want to live off others. But decent people don't decide that nobody should get help because of those few people. Wingnuts, however, often mock all poor because of those few (see my example above). And that was my point - not that every recipient of aid was honest. Finally, the MSM is not liberally biased. They are access-biased, and easy-frame-biased. Saying otherwise just marks you as a wingnut.

You are truly baffled. Maybe you are confusing your threads again. Perhaps you need a nap. Here is my first comment to you:

And that comment quoted your comment here. Further, I did not insult you. I said that you gave an insane characterization of President Obama.

You're tired and punchy. Please have a nice rest.
