And Big Eddie DUMPS The Pirate Apologist

[WeDidIt]

A pirate apologist called into the Ed Schultz show and Big Eddie gave him a platform to get his views out there.

Like every rightwingnut, he constantly talked over Eddie.

Big Eddie finally had enough and dumped the pirate apologist.

18. That is a good one!

excellent observation.

[cboy4]

3. Are you sure it wasn't a far left nut?

[WeDidIt]

6. claimed to be an independent moderate

So yeah, I'm sure he's a rightwingnut.

Rightwingnuts are pushing this bullshit.

[cboy4]

7. So are the radical leftwingnuts, whining about the poor pirates who

need to feed their families. :eyes:

13. That thread and the 15 other threads of the exact same story.

[WeDidIt]

14. As I said

Teh Stoopid.

It Burnz.

Pirate Apologists are more detached from reality than Birthers.

I never thought I would ahve seen it.

20. Don't you mean

9. The leftwingnuts are pushing the same bullshit.

"Oh, industrial fishers have destroyed their traditional livelihood, and that means they have no options to feed their families but piracy on the high seas. Really, if you think about it, they're brave and upstanding fighters against economic imperialism and ecological destruction."

[WeDidIt]

12. I'm sick oif the pirate apologists

and my ignore list is continuing to grow.

It's now three times the size it was at its height in primaries.

10. Rule of thumb: anybody claiming to be an "independent moderate"

is neither independent nor moderate.

Probably far left or far right, and pretending otherwise so they don't come off kooky.

4. Piracy apologist arguments are bogus.

It's no more valid an argument than claiming that North Korea is justified in its oppression because of American imperialism, or than claiming that a mugging is morally justifiable because the mugger lives in a neighborhood with 15% unemployment.

15. Did you every think there would be threads refering to pirate apologists??

[Occam Bandage]

16. It's like coming on DU and seeing a thread about "pedophile apologists."

One is shocked that such a thing would be necessary.

[WeDidIt]

17. In life, there are a few absolutes

Pirates are ALWAYS militaristic murderous thugs.

ALWAYS. There is no middle ground in the issue. There is no gray area. Once a person chooses to become a pirate, their life is forfeit.

19. Snarf!... Frankly who'd a thunk we'd be talking pirates at all post-

20th century!

[Marrah_G]

24. I know right?

21. It's tough constantly finding new angles of attack, you know.

22. And I learn quickly, too

I initally engaged the pirate apologists.

Now I put 'em on ignore the moment I identify them.

It's a target rich environment today, but the targets are beginning to thin out.

:evilgrin:
