You wanted me to include Judeo-Christian religions mentioned with the same derogatory words as I did the others. ? I gave you even more....whats the beef...
All one has to do is follow the chronology of the post to see that I wanted NOHTING from our babbling Bravo....I merely pointed out the FACT that he prefaced to religious beliefs with derrogatory descriptions, but did not do the same for the Judeo-Chrisitian religions he named. You don't need to be Freud to figure that one out folks....and Bravo squeals like all willfully ignorant, race baiting little pigs when caught.
What you point out is one demeaning term used to ridicule the Tea Party.....(and its origin is irrelevant )
Like all intellectually bankrupt neocon clowns, Bravo repeats his willful ignorance like a badge of honor. The chronology of the posts clearly shows that Bravo introduced "teabagger" as on par with racial, ethnic and religious slurs and bigotry. I merely pointed out the facts as to why this isn't necessarily the case, but like a good little parrot, Bravo wants no part of any fact and logic, and stated just that. So Bravo makes a claim and cares not that he cannot logically or factually support it....small wonder why I call Bravo intellectually impotent.What I point out is numerous demeaning terms used to ridicule many other groups....and its has EVERYTHING to do with the topic....
It has EVERYTHING to do with your original point that " the jokes you think are harmless about someone's race or religion or culture that are told among your friends may be taken seriously by one."
(race, religion, culture, expand your post far beyond the tea party folks)
the "tea party" is a political party, NOT a culture or specific race (it's a given we are all part of the human race)....unless our babbling Bravo can provide some evidence that teabaggers (folk who belong to the Tea Party) want a theocratic society based on their "Tea Party" religious beliefs. Otherwise, Bravo's assertion falls flat...much like Bravo off the barstool when he runs to spew out one of his blue bold diatribes.
You seriously limit your point about demeaning others to "jokes"....or race or religion or culture ?...How about politics ? Clothes? Weight ?
Now here is were Bravo's intellectual dishonesty dribbles out......unable to fault my premise or it's target (intellectually lazy, dishonest, ignorant, stubborn and subliminally bigoted bumpkins like Bravo), Bravo just blows smoke with suggested exaggerations to the point of distortion. What Bravo FAILS or REFUSES to accept is that Brevik has stated in his own words of his xenophobic attitudes to maintain a pure Norwegian culture, how he specifically saw muslims along with "multi-culturalism" as a threat and how he blamed a political party for what he perceived to be accomplis to these threats. I SPECIFICALLY pointed out how similar attitudes are NOT the sole domain of muslims or a specific political party or country, and how through history RACISM & BIGOTRY against a specific group of people were used by a specific political party to gain power through attrocities....and that it can happen (has happened) in one's own backyard. But Bravo is either too dumb or too stubborn to accept this, and will now just continue to repeat his delusional drivel ad nauseum until I give him the answer he wants (not the logical conclusion based on all the facts) ....a typical idiot ploy by failed neocon and racist debaters.
Any uncivil demeaning bullshit rhetoric can set the stage for violence and set off an angry person .....the very same kind of uncivil demeaning bullshit rhetoric YOU use here on a regular basis.....which earns the same kind of response from those you demean and ridicule and it escalates from there......so practice what you preach or STFU and leave the sermons for Rev. Al....
Ahhh, but I am NOT discussing "any uncivil demeaning bullshit rhetoric ", I am talking about Breivik in Norway who has been VERY specific about what he thinks justifies his actions....a combination of racial/ethnic purity credo coupled with anti-muslim vehemence....similar mindsets that are and have been found through out history and the world.
Being angry doesn't justify pseudo-nazi manifesto's chock full of quotes from American neocon pundits or the murder of innocent youth....that's a mindset that goes beyond anger, it's just hate born of a selfish and narcissistic attitude.
Bravo's problem is obviously some personal axe he has to grind with me....so much so that he makes accusations that the chronology of the posts does not support (with the exception of my retorts to Bravo's character, brought on by his unwarranted personal attack and racists blatherings). Obviously, my assertions and viewpoints hit too close to home for Bravo, so he lashes out like a maddened child.
You want "willfully ignorant"?....look in any mirror....and re-read your post
