Is this reverse sarcasm, or are you making fun of yourself?

Sounds alot more like the latter.

Remember, "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

Most politicians are well-meaning and not actually evil.

Well, except Cheney. He's evil.

So you can't be evil if you don't know what evil is?

Guess Hitler was a pretty awesome dude for all his well meaning jew slaughtering AMIRITE?

What's that logical fallacy where you take someone's position to the extreme and argue that it's ludicrous... ah yes, "appeal to ridicule"

Hint for Rob: the word "most" implies "not all"

I guess Hitler was a moron as well. :rolleyes:

I'm really confused because I think that Obi and Rob are actually arguing the same thing except neither of them realize it.

Godwin'd! Now "may I die is a fire"... :psyduck:

kyle: I think the argument is just a pretext for Obi and Rob to vent their dislike of one another: the content of the argument is superfluous.

Or don't care.

Also, Grismath, you will most certainly die in a fire. When you least expect it. Being a grammar Nazi only made your fate all the more certain.

Everyone is going to die in a fire once I complete my doomsday device. They just don't know it yet.

First Hitler, now grammar Nazism... you've really got this whole Reich thing going, huh. Also, I'm spooked out by spontaneous human combustion. :gonk:

Start reading about some of what that man does and wants, then make a decision.

Wow. I'm actually starting to like him now.

I'm not sure what the point of that is. The guy just repeats his beliefs in retardedly biased, inflammatory language. I mean, how hard is it just to say, "He's pro-life, but believes that abortion should be left up to the states." So? What's your point? Ron Paul's so up front about everything he believes in, that this attempt to discredit him might as well be campaigning for him, aside from the transparent language he uses.

I happen to have an affinity to comparing things to hitler and nazis. (Personally, I think it's hilarious)
