Open invitation to the Troll -- The Peanut Gallery

Photo of Free Stinker.

This is an idea I'm ripping off from an Atheist Web Site.

When they have an "official" debate, they also create a Peanut Gallery for people to make commentary without posting/derailing the debate thread.

ARR will prove to be too cowardly to debate?

Let me kick this off.

Anyone giving odds on whether ARR will prove to be too cowardly to debate?

My guess is, lots of bluster here, nothing on the Debate Thread.

I prognosticate that he wil

I prognosticate that he will not attempt a debate. If he is like most modern-day liberals, the ability to debate is not in his skill-set. So far though, it appears that unlike most modern-day liberals, he is aware of his deficiency of debate skill and will avoid your invitation to the wood-shed. His website rantings show that he is weak--if not completely devoid of executing any rational thought and that he is guided by liberal talking points and his own bleeding-heart emotions.

If he does show up it'll be like watching Mike Tyson's early fights.

I too doubt that ARR's whole will will meet NL on the Debate Thread.

Unsane's visit to The Peanut Gallery

I forget who said it, but it has been said to liberals (I like calling them Leftists myself), their response to a debate is "that there is no debate".  They cannot handle being challenged in the arena of ideas, and you see that all the time here at NB.

TWELVE DOWN, FOUR TO GO...(until the SPURS' FOURTH RING!!!)

Your Beloved NL has failed you all!

Isn't it amazing that in order to try and claim himself "winner" of this subject he had to take the Democrat position?  That's a hoot for sure!!!  Speaking of “Rich”

He's a scoundrel and this is Scandalous!!!!  You better throw this one to the curb along with George Bush. 

70 % of you lemmings still believe that Saddam was tied to 9-11... Hope some of you learned a thing or two... or three including NL has left the building!!!!!  Don't let the door hit you in the ass!

So Peanut gallery any one else want to pick up this debate where NL left off... Never mind.. It's a total waste of time trying to educate those who can't learn.  The only source you learn from is GWB, his cast of criminals, and Faux News.

Arr, you are indeed an idio

Arr, you are indeed an idiot. I have yet to see anyone here assert that Saddam Hussein or Iraq had anything to do with 9/11 in any way. This was never brought up as a reason to go into Iraq,and was not given as a reason for authorization. WMD and non-compliance with U.N. resolutions were the reasons for toppling Saddam's regime.

Just because some people think that he had some ties to the 9/11 perpetrators does not mean that that is why we went to war with Saddam.

Check the speeches, check the State of the Union Address before we went in, and you see no references to Saddam having ties to 9/11.

Actually, the only credible c

Actually, the only credible cite I've found claiming Iraq was involved with 9/11 came from a Federal Judge in New York appointed by...Bill Clinton.

QM

the peanut gallery was set up to go alongside another forum.  The other forum was set up to be a debate between only two people.  The peanut gallery was set up as place where the rest of us could comment on the debate without interuppting it.  It was my silliness that added the Howdy-Doody link.   

botg: The rest of you seem to

botg: The rest of you seem to be doing pretty well keeping up with things. But I still don't understand how one can jump back and forth between the debates and the Peanut Gallery and manage to keep things straight. Do you read all the debate posts, take notes, and then come to the Peanut Gallery to discuss the discussion? May be a bit too advanced for me. :(

P.S. I got the Howdy Doody thing. Giving away our age? ;)

Yes it will be hard...but I think Free's idea to keep our comments separate was an excellent one.  It should be very interesting, not to mention humorous if these are the kind of debating tactics (I hesitate to call them skills for obvious reasons) this ARR is going to employ.

I can't believe this dude's response.  If I'd tried to write one for a lefty, I couldn't have come up with anything more typical than what was posted.  Too funny.

Logic?

I guess I missed something.

How do you accept a debate challenge, and prior to any debate, declare yourself the winner and the debate over?

Using this system would forever squash all debates. You may as well just say..."I'm right, your wrong" and then declare yourself the winner. This reminds me waaay to much of Democrats debating style.

NL was saying ARR doesn't have the ability to win a debate, ARR said there is no debate. (Which proved NL's point).

That's a pretty big difference to me.

ARR is not even equipped to debate

"Cheney has long contended that the U.S. invasion of Iraq four years ago
this month was justified in part because of suspected ties between
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda
." -- ARR's post in the debate

ARR is not even equipped to debate. Let's see...Saddam has ties to Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda is responsible for 9-11...Saddam is also responsible for 9-11??? What kind of crack-induced logic is that?

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

I think that ARR's whole pu

I think that ARR's whole put more effort into his peanut gallery posts than his part of the debate.

And I stilll say he's a sock puppet for Bill Maher.

NL vs ARR debate

I thought it was strange ARR claimed he had positive proof Saddam and AQ did not ally on the 911 attack. Although the 911 report and others have claimed they did not FIND evidence to prove it, they never claimed they defnitively disproved it.

 A small body of inconlclusive evidence doesn't prove or disprove. Arguments over the Atta meeting in Prague, the definitely occurred Iraq intel and AQ meetings in the Khartoum area, the Saddam H foreign ambassador meeting with AQ in Afghanistan, the PAYCHECK STUBLeslie Stahl had where Saddam PAID Osama shown on 60 minutes and according to Leslie VERIFIED as authentic with the CIA...

 I guess none of that is proof that Saddam and AQ cooperated with the attack on 911, but then again, none of that disproves it either.

 The 911 report more or less reluctantly admits they definitely had a TRUCE - or rather an agreement that they would not be attacking eachother, not that they ever had. In fact I know of NO EVIDENCE that they ever attacked eachother. So, it was an ongoing friendship. LOL

 That's what it really was. The source of any friction was perhaps Saudi Arabia's felt threat from Saddam, and Osama's desire to be the one who went into Kuwait and expelled Saddam, Yet I've never heard what Osama's final plan was there, other than to assume the Caliphate Seat - which Osama claims is BAGDAD.

 Now, if you wanted to be BMOC in Bagdad, would you weasel in and cooperate to learn all you can of the region ? Yes, you would. Would you "call" and say hey, we're going to attack your worst enemy, the Satan ! Yes, you might.

 I guess ARR lost, because he claims there was no relationship there concerning 911, but his sources if he cites them merely state they "found" evidence of agreement that they would not be attacking eachother, which amounts to cooperation. They certainly cooperated in Khartoum, unless Bill Clinton, Sandy Berger, Madelline, and Richard Clarke all lied, including lies in front of the 911 commission.

 So, ARR loses that one. No proof of cooperation is not disproof of cooperation, unless he actually has something else to show.

And to add Sport, President B

And to add Sport, President Bush never said we are at war with AQ...he said terrorists...so the argument should be if ARR was man enough, to claim Iraq...or rather Saddam didn't have ties to any terrorists. If he could make such a claim then the Iraq war isn't part of the war on terror, but a separate war with Iraq.

Wordsmith attempts made ... NOT ACCEPTED

No where did I say as you stated:

"ARR claimed he had positive proof Saddam and AQ did not ally on the 911 attack" 

I never even mentioned AQ!!!!!!!  Don't ever give a republican an inch of leeway they twist and spin everything!

I stated my position and your brain child of this board has yet to address the debate.....

Looks like this peanut gallery has been made into peanut butter....

NL took the side of the democrats in order to declare himself a winner when in fact he's nothing but a whiner. 

I chose the topic, stated my position of “Saddam had positively no direct connections to the attacks on 9-11”, which is the progressive position, and there has been no one that has provided debate to support the conservative position.  Yet the polls show that 70% of republicans still believe the lie that Saddam was responsible for 9-11......  What’s with you lemmings…. Are you afraid to defend your beliefs?

Your great white hope has failed.... You need to take up this issue with your masturbator that he failed to take up the republican/conservative position held by the vast majority of your party. 

My position remains as previously stated.... No wordsmithing allowed!

Arr...matey

please refer me to the poll substantiating this or stop making things up

Yet the polls show that 70% of republicans still believe the lie that Saddam was responsible for 9-11.

It has been said that 42.7% of statistics are made up on the spot!

The man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument.

Wicked, you forgot to menti

Wicked, you forgot to mention the 92.3% of the 42.7% are statistics made up by Democrats.

No spin sir, it isn't a mat

No spin sir, it isn't a matter of a Democrat position...

because no one has made the claim otherwise.

But prove to us that Saddam and ilk weren't supporting terrorists?

Looks like this peanut gall

Looks like this peanut gallery has been made into peanut butter

Now I'm convinced . . . that you're 12 years old! (and dumber than a 12 year old)

&quot; chose the topic, state

" chose the topic, stated my position of “Saddam had positively no direct connections to the attacks on 9-11”, which is the progressive position, and there has been no one that has provided debate to support the conservative position.  Yet the polls show that 70% of republicans still believe the lie that Saddam was responsible for 9-11......  What’s with you lemmings…. Are you afraid to defend your beliefs?"

so that means that 90 % of this board still believes this...but orwellian double speak loves to question and ask for proof that he wasnt connected to al quaeda...and we wonder why with this neocon logic why fox news never goes into this...they have obviously mannered themselves after hannity or oreilly where they give little evidence..only spin, over drama and loud interuptive voices  ..how can a liberal ever win a debate when these buffoons have the last word.?? and the control of the moderation and edit buttonsits like loyalists wanting to fight the monty python  knight(since you all love to bring this comedy group up so much)  when it has no limbs left...Stick to your guns, old chap and dont entertain them when they only want to follow their own rules that they make up as they go along.

monty...show me

What polls show 70% believe Saddam was involved with 9-11? When did Bush or anyone in his Admin state that Saddam was involved directly with 9-11?

[Note: Again, the connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda does not qualify.]

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

Remember the War on Terror?

We went after the terrorists wherever they were...Afghanistan and Iraq. To get to the terrorists in Iraq, we had to go through Saddam the Butcher and his 2 rapist sons.

I guess if you condone Saddam and sons behavior you would have trouble understanding why we deposed him.

[btw, thanks for providing the links to the poll and the quotes from the Bush Admin. I guess if you do not have proof, use the typical liberal approach and just assert. Ouch!!! That had to hurt you.]

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

so we went in there now to go to after terror?? ...so that has evolved into the real reason??
