This guys a jerk and all, but he does serve a purpose. His ilk are why the Republicans will fall under their own weight. You've got the neocons who think that the Jews are the super-greatest number oners. Then you got jerkasses like this guy. --Edgerunner76 21:09, 7 January 2008 (EST)
- Wait, we're not the super greatest number oners? ThunderkatzHo! 21:11, 7 January 2008 (EST)
- In the eyes of neocons they are as long as they keep the beatdown on those "other" people who have the nerve to surround them. --Edgerunner76 21:13, 7 January 2008 (EST)
- Edge - I'm not sure where you're going with this. I'm as anti-Republican Party (and anti-Democratic Party for that matter)as the next guy - but on what basis do you draw a link between mainstream American conservatism - or even a more-right-than-mainstream American conservatism and the virulent anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial that this a-hole's edits are all about? Painting your political opponents as racist is an easy tactic - but the Republicans and most American conservatives are no more or no less racist than their Democratic and more "liberal" ilk. As I've said before racial hatred is a pervasive set of ideas that are omnipresent in America and the rest of the world - not to the extent that this guy is getting at, by any stretch of the imagination, but still everywhere. You want to put the Republicans down, there's lots of ways to do that without lumping them in with this guy. PFoster 21:17, 7 January 2008 (EST)
- I'd argue that you're wrong on this one--the GOP has been fairly blatant about pandering to the Bigot Vote ever since Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law, losing the South for the Democrats for a generation. --Gulik 21:54, 7 January 2008 (EST)
- Hey - to political parties, a vote's a vote, right? And in a country where racial and tribal tensions are an important fact of life like Kenya or the United States, it's no wonder that political parties pander to that sort of thing. But this guy and his Holocaust denial would hardly be a fit with the Republican Party - and to suggest so is disingenuous.PFoster 09:05, 8 January 2008 (EST)

Yeah, I'm going for the hyperbole. But, to be honest, I've found most people are FAR more racist than they would ever normally show. To me, I see how your typical neocon and typical Republican act and the first thing I think is how much worse is that person when you don't see or hear them. I'm just a big cynic. --Edgerunner76 21:21, 7 January 2008 (EST)
- Well, at least you crushed him with a mighty five minute block! human

- I rather like the five minute block. It gives enough time to generally fix so-and-so's wandalism, plus it lets the jerkass in question come back (which they don't usually do right away) and really make an ass of themselves with someone on guard to block them again if they just want to be stupid. --Edgerunner76 10:04, 8 January 2008 (EST)
