Rich SOB Says Treatment Of Rich Like The Holocast

So you haven't heard the most prominent liberals in the world demonizing fellow Americans for political gain. The "1%" doesn't sound subhuman to you? How about the tea party? Ever heard horrible things about them directly from the mouths of the most prominent liberals. How about Republicans in general? Have you heard them blamed for every ill of the world? War on women? Do they hate the poor? Racist? How do you feel about racists? I'm sure like most people you find them to be about the most disgusting people in the world; slightly better than people that harm children. Is it hateful to label someone as a racist? I think it is. Ever heard that thrown around as a label for anyone that disagrees with a liberal?

I stand by my statements.

& I by mine.

The people overthrew the monarchy in favor of a communist government. The "wealthy" were aristocrats, they were wealthy because they were monarchs, they practiced serfdom, that's not "wealthy" bubba, that's fascism. The media didn't propagate hatred toward the successful and incite the masses to seize their wealth. A radical group overthrew a monarchy with public support.

There is no way you don't understand the difference and are still able to operate a computer, so you are obviously trolling intentionally.

What minority? The 1% or conservatives because your next few paragraphs talk about republicans/conservatives not the 1%.

We are not even close to the Bolshevik Revolution or French revolution.

This paragraph demonizes democrats. You are doing the same thing that you don't want Democrats to do.

When did liberal become associated with Marxism/socialism/communism? Many decades ago when Republicans first started to use it to demonize those dirty, liberal, hippy democrats. This word association you seem fine with.

Yes, each president for decades has made divisive comments about the opposition. This is not new. And I agree it is not a good thing. It is not a good thing on both sides, not just the side you don't like.

Something pops up in the news and it's "blame the other side game". Both parties play it and both parties followers consume it. Which means nothing gets solved and we all lose.

Seemed really subhuman when all my classmates were fighting over scholarships.


You mean things like centering stump speeches around painting anyone on government assistance as a leech while taking farm subsidies themselves?

We've now entered the persecution phase of the thread. Everyone grab your nails and crosses and please form a line behind Amand. A ravenous gang of liberals will be with you shortly.

How does the 1% come off as sounding "sub-human"? The very term means the pinnacle.

However, it's statements like that, that make these threads so entertaining.

Why is there so much mention of the Bolshevik revolution and no mention of the Mensheviks?

You don't know what you are talking about and insulting me doesn't make you right. It just shows the weakness in your inexplicable incorrect version of this history that you are claiming for no other reason than to argue. You can prevent all of this foolishness by perhaps "learning" about it. You won't find a single source to refute what I said and you can quietly learn and I won't even embarrass you anymore.

I wanted to keep it quiet and broad to catch Aman doing what he's accusing Jassik of, which is apparent. He's got the effect but there are no causes leading up to it other than dirty, poor people as of right now, according to him.

EDIT: Sorry. I'm history geekin' a little. I really can't wait to read Aman's thoughts on the Russian Realist movement too!

Sarcasm tags! I refuse!

Like the coupling of "Liberals" and "Socialist" as being the same; with respect to the yet unmentioned by name "February Revolution"? When they are in fact two distinctly separate ideologies.

Sorry guys I just think that demonizing small groups of people and blaming them for all of the ills of the world always leads to something very bad. You can choose to ignore history or assume that you are somehow smarter than every generation that has ever lived and completely insusceptible to propaganda; but you are not and you prove it everyday. Coming from a Liberal, mockery is the sincerest form of flattery; so I appreciate all of your sarcasm and absence of debate.

I was more or less going down the path of the revolving door of political parties, the reformation of the Duma from one session to the next, appeasement of Czar Nickolas while holding his feet to the fire for reform, ousting of their constitution, etc.

I'm going to have to read up on all this crap again. Not sure it's worth it for a FFXIAH argument though.


We could very easily say the same for you.


You had plenty of opportunities to jump in, if you actually knew what you were talking about. You revealed your own ignorance.

Please, I would still love to hear anything you have to say about the Russian Realist Movement. Literature and art. Gogogogo! They are, after all, one of the best indicators of the social climate of a bygone era.

nobody is blaming all the world's ills on the rich. some people blame many of the US's problems on them, but not all of that is wrong either. socialistic media outlets push to narrow the income gap by increasing the wages at the bottom or asking the wealthy to pay more taxes to accommodate. i haven't heard anyone seriously debating what you're arguing erroneously against.

all of that aside, this article was a reaction to a rich guy comparing socialist leaning news publications as persecuting the rich like the nazi's persecuted the jews. it would be laughable if it wasn't so insulting to the Jews.

Not once in your little persecution rants did you assign even the slightest inkling of responsibility to your so-called "demonized" groups.

If the 1% don't want to be seen as villains, perhaps they should pay more attention to the disparity around them (there are some that do) or not wrap their opinions in incendiary rhetoric such as the OP.

If the Tea Party would not like to seen as racist or stupid, perhaps they should have attempted to distance themselves from those elements more thoroughly.

If Republicans would not like to be seen as woman haters, perhaps they should preoccupy themselves with something other than abortion or birth control.

that's why those cries of victimization will never be taken seriously because you will never admit a problem exists on both ends.

Well... he's still at it and being disowned by his old company and the tech industry in general.

Can't find his post(?) article (?) op-ed (?) to Bloomberg but...

HuffPo reference

Which links to this Bloomberg article about it, but neither gives his current foolishness.

but we like being the villains... what's the point of growing a sinister handlebar mustache if people don't run the other way in terror?

/steals candy from a baby and starts eating it.

though I do see your point about the republicans...maybe we should take down the sign on the door of the clubhouse...

How do you fight back against slanderous hateful vague accusations? Pleebo prove you are not a racist. Go.

Prochoice will find themselves on the wrong side of history. Generations will look back on you as barbarians especially those that supported abortions any time before child birth. It is absolutely disgusting.

Don't you know Amand? Liberals are by their definition and as such,

Coming from the party so interested in destroying sex ed programs that would help to stem unplanned pregnancies, refuse to allow gay couples to raise children on account of religion and have nothing to say on reforming our adoption programs that'd keep children out of orphanages.

It's all about the children till they get born, then *** em. Bootstraps your way up the ladder.

Prolife has nothing to do with party. Those that support barbaric abortion practices will find themselves on the wring side of history just as those the don't support the rights if gay couples will be. But don't be latching onto Democrats as long time supporters of gay rights. It's been their position for about a year and a half when they sought to score political points suddenly.

You prefer abortions after child birth??

This ***is comedic gold.





Infanticide is the traditional way of offing undesired children.

Hell, in Texas some people view it as crime that is not equal to murder:

So I guess one could conclude that to neo-cons infanticide is preferable to abortion.

Abortions at anytime during pregnancy, late term, partial birth, etc. I know you know what I meant let's not get silly.

Would be true if it wasn't for the fact that she is the Democratic Caucus Leader in the Texas House of Representatives.

But wait, if a democrat attempts to pass a bill in a state run by Republicans, is that now a neo-con idea, even though it was defeated by the Republicans in power?

Would that be the same president that signed the Defense of Marriage Act into law Zerowone?

Hey now, the point was that Democrats have been pandering to the LGBT community well before last year as someone stated. At the same time, which came first? DoMA or Don't Ask Don't Tell? Sometimes you got to appease the religious right. It's the politics of the business and the business of politics.

Your lack of a sense of humor is amazing.

If someone doesn't want kids, what makes you think they're going to take care of them if you force them to have a child? The mantra of the loudest prolifers is to slash public assistance programs and to force babies to be born alongside education cuts and complete removal of proven checks against unplanned pregnancy.

A recipe for starving youths who will end up in our legal system. Wonderful.

Ok, Kara, this made me laugh way too hard...
