See? I give everyone love.

1. Walter who?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. He's A DLC Shill

;)

[peacetalksforall]

61. I wanted to revere him for stepping in to run in place of Paul Wellstone.

Now, by his support of Sen. Clinton, I know he is a hawk. But maybe he doesn't know he's a hawk - yet.

[Adelante]

3. Nice one to get nt

[hedgehog]

4. Mondale campaigned on a platform that we were running out of

everything and we'd better get used to having less and less and not being able to solve our problems. No wonder Reagen creamed him!


And he was living in a gated community in Minnesota in 1980! Real Democratic values, there!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. I Think That's Called An Ad Hominem Attack

An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:


1 Person A makes claim X.
2 Person B makes an attack on person A.
3 Therefore A's claim is false.

[ruggerson]

13. So you can't live in a gated communty and be a Democrat?

just when you think someone can't be truly THAT fucked up...

[durrrty libby]

20. lol The asylum gave out passes tonight

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. I Guess Democrats Have To Take A Vow Of Poverty

Somebody better tell the Kennedys and Jay Rockefeller...

[durrrty libby]

43. Honestly, I read these threads just for the cheap entertainment

[Semper_FiFi]

74. Very funny.

:applause:

[BootinUp]

28. Geez, maybe you should

read a self help book or something, that shit was a long time ago. Get the F over it.

[incapsulated]

51. That dirty liberal! Reagan rules!

Wait....

[FrenchieCat]

5. Another good endorsement.......

But I'm sure folks here will determine that Mondale is simply old and senile, was paid off, or has his own political inspirations that made him do it..... :eyes:

[ronnykmarshall]

48. You mean he's not dead?

[SaveElmer]

6. Thank you Fritz...nt

[Colobo]

10. Fritz? Sorry, didn't get the joke, attack or cultural reference.

Honestly- I'm not American and this happens often.

[SaveElmer]

12. It's his nickname...

Fritz Mondale...I grew up in Minnesota...

[Colobo]

14. Oh, ok! Thanks.

[Adelante]

16. Nickname "Fritz" nt

[Colobo]

17. What a weird nickname.

[AlCzervik]

22. no it really isn't, it's common in german families for boys names Frederick

which is Mondale's middle name.

[Colobo]

23. Oh, so he's German?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. I Think He's Norwegian

eom

[Adelante]

36. It used to be more common

Not much heard anymore.

[BootinUp]

63. Yes

it has lost popularity here. I wonder if it has to do with the world wars...hmmm. Maybe Mondale ruined it, lol.

[Adelante]

75. Style

Everybody's named Jason or Justin or something, not too much Frederick, although I may be behind on this baby-naming thing :dunce:

[ElizabethDC]

7. He must be SENILE!!!!

:sarcasm:

Thanks for posting, Katz.

[aquart]

8. An excellent policy.

[AlCzervik]

11. yay it's unleash the hounds on Mondale! Woohoo!

1234 everything things a flamewar.

[zulchzulu]

15. Is Dukakis next?

First McGovern...now Mondale...get the threefer! Duke! Duke! Duke!

:rofl:

[jefferson_dem]

21. I suspect all the old "landslide losers" should jump on the Hillary bandwagon...

:rofl:

Seriously, Fritz was pretty cool (in a milktoast kind of way) back in "the day."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

53. The Laugh's On You

The only two living Democratic presidential candidates not to lose in a landslide are her husband and his vice president


:P

[Nedsdag]

18. Well, he was named Ambassador to Japan by her husband.

No surprise here.

[Froward69]

19. theres a winner

:sarcasm:

[durrrty libby]

25. How about the JFK jr endorsement. Was that

a winner :sarcasm:too?

[Froward69]

30. Ike's son lives around here someplace

Would he be a good endorsement? Or maybe FDR's third cousin on his mothers side???:sarcasm:

[SaveElmer]

33. Ike's son...John S.D. Eisenhower in fact a very accomplished man...

Military man, historian, and author of a book or two I have read...

In fact, for the first time in 2004 he endorsed a Democrat citing George Bush as the reason...

So yeah, having Eisenhower's son's endorsement would be nice get for any of the candidates...

[BootinUp]

37. Heck yeah, now you

got me pumped waiting to hear about it. ;)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. You PWNED Him With That

:toast:

[Froward69]

45. Glad you are paying attention

[SaveElmer]

24. Walter Mondale is...and has always been a class act... why the Wellstone family...

Asked him to run after Paul Wellstone's death...

I don't suppose this really matters as now he is supporting Hillary...and as we all know that is a treasonous act...

[jefferson_dem]

32. Oh man! So sad.

First losing Wellstone in such a tragic way...

Then to see Sen. Mondale, after stepping up for the Party a big way, lose to that little worm in the GE. Still makes me sad.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

46. If The Right Wing Didn't Sabotage His Campaign He Would Have Won

They Swift Boated him over the Wellstone funeral...

Oh well...

[BootinUp]

26. There are some old timers who will consider Mondale's

endorsement important, Oh heck I do as well. :)

[Cameron27]

27. Another great endorsement.

Good for Hillary.

[Odin2005]

31. I see more heads exploding.

And if anyone calls ol' Fritz a corporate shill this Minnesotan will give them a black eye.

[ronnykmarshall]

47. Get out your boxing gloves .....

It's gonna be a busy night!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

58. Fritz Is The Last Of The "Old School" Democrats

Maybe Ted Kennedy...

[OHdem10]

34. The Republican Party in some Southern States use all

manner and means to remain powerful.

Some would call it shunning. The Message is you are of no
social status if you are not a Republican.

I certainly know nothing about this case. I will always
wonder. What if the kid had worn a GOP Candidate TShirt.

Dr. Dean can tell you stories about this .

[Adelante]

40. Are you lost?

:D

[BootinUp]

49. lol. oh dear. n/t

[Cha]

38. Mondale was a Wellstone supporter..

was he not? We're talking 180 degrees here.

[BootinUp]

41. I challenge you

to support that with some kind of logical argument.

[Cha]

56. Wellstone didn't owe his

soul to the corporations..he was his own man and he wasn't a freakin' warhawk who enabled bushit.

[BootinUp]

57. The problem with your 180 degrees nonsense

is that both Wellstone and Hillary would have agreed on much. Secondly, I do not accept that she is a war hawk. I do not believe she would have ordered the invasion of Iraq if she was President at that time. Nor do I think she believed Bush was inevitably going to invade. Since it cannot be proved either way, it must be tossed out as a factual argument, and you must support your war hawk claim with some other evidence.

edited for sp.

[Cha]

59. That's really nice that you

feel that way..but it's just your take and, of course, the hillary supporters. I see it differently.

I know your guy Wes Clark has endorsed hillary so I hope ya'll are very happy supporting the corporate candidate. May her steamrolling come to a screeching halt somewhere along the way before she makes it to the General.

[BootinUp]

60. Yes its nice, but I noticed you still

have not substantiated your claim.

[Cha]

64. Tell ya what Jim...

Senator Paul Wellstone voted against the IWR and hillary voted for it.

[BootinUp]

67. Yes, that is true

Is that it then?

[SaveElmer]

69. That's all there ever is...

It's all they've got...

[BootinUp]

71. I thought maybe

there was a photo of her shooting or bombing Iraqis, or laughing with dubya at a video of same. You never know, they keep calling her all these monstrous names, I thought I was missing something.

[Adelante]

62. Easy there nt

[Cha]

65. Yes?

[ronnykmarshall]

39. I'd say .... Let the Mondale insults fly ...

But I see they already have. :eyes:

[Cameron27]

44. Hi ronny

put on the rubber boots, it's gonna be piled high in here.

[ronnykmarshall]

50. Oh big time ....

And Gerry Ferraro endored Hillary a while back. To the great responce of "Oh Be Still My Heart" from "some people". :eyes:

It just fucking amazing.

[itsrobert]

52. Where's the Beef?

lol

[ronnykmarshall]

54. I wonder if Graeme Frost's parents endorsed Hillary ...

Would they get the same treatment?

Yeah. Probably.

[Yukari Yakumo]

55. This'll probably play big in Minnesota. {nt}

uguu

[Mz Pip]

66. Big Wow. n/t

[geek tragedy]

68. McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis. The trifecta! eom

[DemocratSinceBirth]

70. delete

[Semper_FiFi]
