The General Discussion: Primaries Score Card. Keep track of how you do!
Are you a General Discussion: Primaries "Prime Poster?" Keep track of your performance with the General Discussion: Primaries Score Card!

It's so easy even a troll can do it. Just follow these steps:

- Insulting a supporter of your political opponent: +5 pts. per invective

- Insulting your political opponent: +3 pts. per invective

- Insulting your political opponent whilst insulting one of his or her supporters: add an additional 10 pts. (bonus!)

- Offending the moderators (takes some chutzpah, but no): -10 pts.

- Offending Skinner (Oh, heavens, no!): -25 pts.

- Making a supporter of your political opponent cry at his or her keyboard (you can tell by the incoherent typing): +15 pts. per "boo hoo"

- Bonuses for level of snarkiness:
Easy ("Don't you know how to read?"): +5 pts.
Medium ("Perhaps freerepublic is a better place for you?!??"): +10 pts.
Hard ("You Clinton/Obama supporters don't hold a candle to Kant's notion of transcendentalism... punks!"): +20 pts.

- Personal invectives: add an additional 10 pts. of "ouch" bonus!

- Insulting a supporter of your political opponent while feigning perfection: +25 pts.


Writing a reasonable, level-headed post that unravels the argument of your political opponent without resorting to namecalling, insults, or snarkiness: ***+1,000 pts.***

7. Let's see if Hawkeye-X goes for the cycle!!!!1111
Tellurian has to be the lowest IQ of any Hillary supporters, EXCEPT for maybe Hillary herself (ka-pow). Oh I must say that Tellurian is wearing a lovely yellow scarf, the same ones that Hillary herself used to wipe her ass with on that religion debate last week.

The moderators are like a slime trash collector on a cheetah race to clean up the turds after their prey which they keep missing. Ouch! That's gonna be hot.

And Skinner is one of the Three Monkeys that types up random generator to make DU stick together! I mean, what's with the slightly out of date forum has hasn't been updated in 8 years? I think it's time for him to stop ordering bubblegum by the assloads (Y'know, just to put the servers of DU together) and get a real board forum. :P

The Clintonbots doesn't even know how to read the math, know where FreeRepublic is, if it was given a paper bag, a lantern and a map and a GPS. Finally, the Clintonbots doesn't even know that Machiavelli delights on the pain and torture that they are inflicting upon themselves.

You gotta be a man to take in all the insults and take it like a Marine, oh, something that Hillary couldn't do, under sniper fire.

Finally, the final insult is on YOU. Hillary supporters, who have not thought outside of the little world you live in - the Hillaryworld.

8. Ding ding ding! Hawkeye-X is the winner...
almost.

Dear Hawkeye-X,

I am writing to let you know that I found your post petulant and lacking in substance. Skinner is a hardworking sort who slaves over his website, making it as manageable a forum as possible for our daily political discussions.

I think your namecalling is vile, but I do understand how adoring your candidate can sometimes lead to a head fever, which in turn foments poor diction and sentence structure. I forgive you.

And also, Hillary Clinton is a brilliant and not-so-evil woman who would make a good president.


Sincerely yours,

~Writer~

PS: +5 pts. to me for kissing Skinner's arse.
