And you have decided that you don't "see" what is plainly there to be seen.
So there we are.

So we are.

If you ran against Bush for office, would it be fair of you to say that he broke his oath..., or is it out of bounds?

Do you think that Scalia has broken his oath?

Bush? Certainly. But that's not treason. And what it has to do with the Chambliss ad except pointless ink-squirting is beyond my interest at this point.

Same words imply treason in 1 casem but not the other

It's a good thing you weren't an adult in the South in the 60s.

"Did you actually see them getting their constitutional rights violated? I didn't. So it didn't happen."

60's ended a long time ago.

Look, I know you're not this much of a dullard.
You're arguing against zeke with me.
I never said that accusing Cleland of breaking his oath was accusing him of treason. It's not. "Treason" is well-specified crime, the only one in the Constitution. Accusing Cleland of breaking his oath would be accusing him of breaking his oath, which would in some cases be perjury. But Cleland's oath isn't the point of the ad, and it isn't why everyone except the terminally and deliberately obtuse recognize the ad as despicable.
And John McCain continues to embarrass himself.

I'm arguing against the only argument anyone has made here yet as to why that ad crossed the line.
 
Uh, no.
You're arguing against one of the arguments made by one person.
You've just got your fingers in your ears singing, "la-la-la." when it comes to the fact that the ad is despicable on its face because you have determined, for the sake of argument, because you're not that dumb, you can't "see" that fact.

You haven't made an argument yet. I'm telling you I saw that ad, and don't see what crosses the line beyond ordinary political mudslinging. Which part offends you?

If you can't find it on YouTube, it didn't happen.

I already acknowledged I didn't see them at the time & found the worst I could. In the references to it, this seems to be the ad they focus on. Tell me what I missed.
 
Do your own research.

I've never seen the earth from space to confirm that it's round, but...

I did, and haven't found anything. That's why we're having this discussion.

Why on Earth would you expect anyone to take as scientific fact that this happened without knowing what it was that happened and making an independant judgement. Your example is very telling - if you take everything that the talking heads feed you as truth to the same degree that you know that the earth is round, it explains much of the conversation that goes on around here.

So the earth isn't round, Guy?

Is it OK if I have a hypotenuse that Mr. Cleland was viciously smeared by creepy, closeted Republicans?
 
You couldn't find anything? You're either a liar, or you've mistaken you're computer for the microwave.

No one has even mentioned the most disgusting Chambliss ad:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/2002-11-06-chambliss_x.htm

Chambliss even ran a TV ad picturing Cleland with Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.

Hopefully, Georgians will boot this empty suit out of the Senate this year.

I assume that it's the same ad, and if so, the article is misleading. It doesn't show him with Hussain & Bin Laden, it shows pictures of them while the voiceover says that the world we live in is dangerous. Very different.

Also, are you assuming he's an empty suit from these ads, or do you know based on his work?

So the earth isn't round, Guy?

Read more carefully.
Fenian_Bastard said:
No.
Because he can't see it.
You're just willfully misreading.

Unless...just figured it out. My response "I did" was to "Do your own research", not "I've never seen the earth from space to confirm that it's round, but..."
