^Sure, lots over the past 2-3 years especially, but give me some time on that one as it requires some googling and I'm going to be pretty busy over the next couple of hours.

Sure. Respectfully and rationally. "This is not what we stand for as liberals", something to that effect.

This hyperbole kind of underline how ridiculous you're being. None of what you're saying makes sense to an extent that there would be a sensible response to it.

WTF are you even talking about? You're very frustrating to talk to, I'm not sure if it's an ESL thing, but what hyperbole? I asked you a
question. You said there's no way for us to know if Obama's been reining in the crazy elements on our side of the political spectrum. I asked if you were suggesting he was doing it secretly without anyone knowing. Is that what you're saying?

It's just a fantasy of how things work vs. an opinion of how things should work, both built in your own head.

I have no idea what this means. I know how I think things should work, how political discourse should be conducted and what I want us to stand for as liberals, and I've made that pretty clear on this board. You haven't given me any reason to suggest they should work differently. As for me having some fantasy about "how things work", again, what in the hell are you talking about?

There's no arguing that from the outside. You're simply pointing out things that don't exist and use the lack of existence as "proof".

Seriously what does this mean? It's so bloody irritating to try to respond to this kind of thing. What am I pointing out that "doesn't exist"? Are you suggesting that there is absolutely no problem of a contingent on the left going off the reservation?
