WB, this is a good example of why you piss me off. You come into this thread with-
For a guy who alleges to "demand real revolutionary change" you sure seem to have bought deeply into liberal-Democrat partisan rhetoric, and spend 99% of your time mocking the Republicans, often using untrue and partisan arguments.
On a sidenote, Herbert Hoover didn't lead the country into depression (although he didn't get us out of it either). He inherited a crippled economy from Calvin Coolidge, from the stock crash of 1929.
Franklin D. Roosevelt arguably didn't pull us out of depression either. He began the national debt to fund the Works Project Administration, providing millions of state-funded jobs to build roads, bridges, hydro-electric dams and so forth, having the positive effect of building and modernizing U.S. infrastructure while providing jobs to the unemployed.
But it was World War II that pulled us out of recession, selling war materials to Europe while we remained neutral. Social Security was a positive change too.
A guy like yourself, who endorses conspiracy theories of liberal radio comentators being beat up and intimidated in some kind of half-baked right-wing conspiracy, and still maliciously clings to the false allegation even after Randi Rhodes and her staff have refuted it, perpetuating divisive false propaganda, shouldn't crow too loudly about others' short-sighted partisanship.
You only let go of that allegation because there was no further plausible deniability, and you looked like an asshole for continuing to carry to torch for something so clearly false. You continue to hold the torch on many other issues that give you the slightest wiggle room to slander Republicans.
If you'd stick to what could be proven (and there is plenty Republicans have clearly and legitimately done wrong) I could agree with you. But your mocking antagonism and deliberate misrepresentation, even as you self-proclaim yourself the advocate of truth, frankly makes me sick.
And then talk to Who' about ad hominem attacks? Your hypocracy has never been more evident.
I talked about the inconsistency of his arguments. In response to
his ongoing ad-hominem attacks, where he constantly accuses others of being partisan, getting their goose-stepping marching orders from Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and FOX News, despite that we quote other, more mainstream sources for our views.
Despite, conversely, that Whomod posts his views from liberal-partisan blogs, left-wing hate sites, and the oh-so-neutral-L.A.Times.
I pointed out the contradictions in his own rhetoric. I didn't attack his girlfriend, or his personal life, or call him crazy, or an idiot or other insults, as you and Whomod both routinely do to me. Because you haven't got an intellectual leg to stand on.
