the subject of its next "satirical" cover? To lampoon the anti-Bushies about their paranoia of a police state imposed by the right wing?

Well, since a police state is Dick Cheney's dream, maybe the cover could show him respecting privacy rights and habeas corpus.

are only lampooned if they arise from the right. Thank you for providing the answer for me by inference.

Well, I'm going to infer then that you agree Cheney's dream is a police state.

is that you're a nut case, and I did not choose to feed your little fantasy. No, wait, I'll be more charitable than that. You probably can think this through, but choose not to because it is more important to you to try to win political arguments through any rhetorical trick you can use, rather than be logical and consistent. Or is that less charitable?

So, that's all you have then?

Name calling and snarky lines?

And you think I want to win debates with "rhetorical tricks"?

Dude, you're not worth my A-material.

I said wild fantasy, and you think that means I believe that wild fantasy. And you infer I believe it. How is that logical? And yes, hell, yes, that is a rhetorical trick, only slightly more sophisticated than "when did you stop beating your wife?" Who left his A game at home?

"You're not worth my A material" confused you?

the whole concept of logic and rhetorical skills have confused you. It is particularly fascinating and hypocritical of you to retreat to insults when you are losing an argument, all the while protesting that you are the victim of "ad hominem" attacks. This must be what passes for A material in your world. By the way, Goebbels was the one who said if you told the lie often enough, people will believe it. You must think that trick works.

I am tired of teaching this pig to whistle...

Funny that you opened up with insults and now complain about me.

And then follow up with more insults!

What's truly funny is that you actually think we're having an argument.

There's no "trick" here. There's no "argument" to lose.

I've just been mocking your typical angry rightwing response to anyone that dares to portray your object of worship in a negative.

just being a jerk! Which is basically what I said when I commented about doing whatever it takes to win an argument. Oh, excuse me, I might have stepped on your tender feelings.

And thanks for clarifying that you never had any interest in any sort of exchange of ideas, that your mind is completely made up. You are, indeed, a typical leftie--arrogant, self righteous, hypocritical and thin skinned. Frequently wrong but never in doubt. And no doubt you will have to have the last comment. Now, where is that block user feature when you need it.

Again, you start the dialog with insults and then complain about not wanting an exchange of ideas?

Do you understand what the word "hypocrisy" means?
