GLORY!!
I'll bet Barack Hussein Osama is shaking in his boots!! Look out, Joe Biden!!
You are all forgetting that aging, cancer-prone Sen. McCain has just nominated a pro-life evangelical creationist to the Vice Presidency! So if for any reason Sen. McCain should be incapacitated, America will finally have the Christian Creationist Theocracy that we have all prayed for!!
SHOUT GLORY!! |

Enjoy your AIPAC shills. Nothing better than having an entire foreign policy built around the unqualified support of Israel. |

Having been to McDonald's a few times, it's always amusing when people suggest that it's fattening and bad for my health. |

That analogy doesn't even begin to make sense. |

I love when people say that. Dismissing an analogy without explaining why it doesn't make sense.
Let me break it down for you.
"Having visited AIPAC's main office in DC a few times"
A few times - Already makes your claim ridiculous. A few times could mean you just passed the office, or just dropped something off. A few times doesn't give you an entire view of what goes on, and it doesn't tell you why AIPAC is one of the first groups the candidates want to have the support of. The fact that you've based your entire opinion of AIPAC on a few visits, dismissing the claims of critics, is simply ignorant.
"Having been in McDonalds a few times"
A few times - I don't go to McDonald's often enough to see the effects of their food. I don't get fat, I don't have high cholesterol. Therefore, the claim that it is fattening and unhealthy is not true. Ignorant, isn't it?
Make a little more sense?
Go play somewhere now. |

That's still not an analogy.
In any case, I've been there about a half dozen times for work.
yawn. |

Fine, since you probably struggled on the SAT, I'll offer a little help.
Your analogy sucked for several reasons, not least of which was that both sides weren't parallel.
My statement ran along the lines of this:
Given that A, it's amusing that people assume B. about C.
I rearranged the order for it to make more visual sense, so I apologize if I've lost you.
Your statement was this:
Given that A, it's amusing that people assume C. (need I remind you that this C. is a verifiable fact, whereas B. was anything but).
So to make it more parallel you could have said:
Having been to McDonald's a few times, it's amusing that people assume the food is so bad for you when it tastes so good.
Except that now you're reversing things.
You should have said:
Having been to McDonald's a few times, it's amusing that people assume the food is healthy when it's really quite bad for you (yay now you've established a parallel correlation!).
Not that you need to go to McDonald's to prove this, seeing as how it's verifiable fact. And not that people actually believe it's healthy.
To your other point, that AIPAC is somehow a menacing secret society bracing to take over the Earth - I only tell you that from personal experience working with them, I don't think they're anywhere near as competent as your conspiracy websites would have you believe. |
