Quote from Rearden Metal:
So when I say that you're way too quick to jump to conclusions, you're actually surprised and confused as to why I'd ever believe such a thing? Really?
A couple weeks back, when some 2-bit blogger started those baseless Michelle Obama 'whitey-tape' rumors, do you recall your reaction? It wasn't; "There <i>might</i> be a whitey tape", or; "<i>Some people are saying</i> there's a whitey tape"- NO! You, ratboy, were 100% positive of this tape's existence as a foregone conclusion, and you were already figuring out all the possible implications said tape will have on the elections!
I could easily give you fifty more similar examples, were I in the mood to piss away countless hours on archive-diving... but come on! Why not just <b>admit the obvious</b> here, as any non-LoZZZer would do?
(Replying by pointing out that horrible & lethal misdeeds like pre-emptive war will always cause you to speak out in opposition... has <b>absolutely nothing</b> to do with my point above. Telling me what you had for lunch yesterday would be equally relevant.)
it has everything to do with it. i was 100% right about the no wmd's. i caught untold hell from some people. it dictates a certain emotional response.
the whitey tape is a guess... not based on a 'bloggers' assertion. based on beckels appearance on TV speaking of one degree of separation of the tape, the geraldo video... then your blogger larry johnson. larry johnson isn't just a blogger he is ex intelligence. will the tape come out in october? i guess we will have to wait and see. i will gladly say i am wrong in november if no tape surfaces.
and as far as my track record goes its pretty decent. i didnt jump to conclusions when a baseball player flew into a manhattan bldg. unlike many, i didn't jump to conclusions when the media claimed al qaeda blew up some retards in a bazaar. i called bullshit on the iranian boat tapes and the british hostages.
i nailed scooter libby a year before most re: plame. i was one of the first to speak out about bldg7. we already discussed mercury in vaccines. same goes for fluoride.
i said hillary would be annointed in 08 back in 04.... but when YouTube hit the scene i knew she had no chance. i told people she couldn't survive a youtube campaign. i knew she would macaca herself.
it looks like i will be wrong on Gore... but my main assertion that the candidates are pre selected and its a WWF pony show, is something i stand by.
i went at it with oldtrader concerning real estate and i got pretty lucky in predicting the actual time frame the dam would burst. i called it a credit bubble and tried to explain it had more to do with monetary policy than his local knowledge of the real estate market. btw, he doesn't respond to me now.
i bust haroki pretty hard on the pancake theory for good reason. he was very aggressive in his attacks regarding the theory and even the govt finally had to come out and admit it was foolishness.
i also stuck by ron paul when the ridiculous 'newsletters' hit. you were ready to throw him under the bus.
these are just things off the top of my head.. no archive hunting.
