"Perhaps we aren't talking about Obama in this thread because it isn't at all relevant to the subject?" How exactly can he not be relevant to ANY conversation about American politics? Wow! |

Truth be told, I have no idea who Chris Buttars is, other than he is some Utah government guy, and that Lebowski likes to invoke him a lot when he wants to "zing" somebody.

First, the entire thing is a red herring. The topic of the thread is clearly established in the first post. You don't want to discuss that topic, so you keep meandering off point and wandering into irrelevant territory. Ironic, given your conclusions about topic avoidance above. Second, am I under some sort of obligation to respond to every thread written? I have been working a lot and, consequently, not posting much on here or reading much on here (of course, there hasn't been much to read either since the new forum was created). Third, "American politics" is an extremely broad category you are establishing for the topic of conversation here. To say that this topic is about American politics and, therefore, all issues pertaining to American politics are relevant to this conversation, is absurd. This is the simple "If all A are also B, then all B must also be A" fallacy. Yes, conversations about constitutional violations committed by Bush do fall into Group B (American politics), but that certainly doesn't mean that everything involving American politics also falls into Group A (discussion about Bush's constitutional violations). I find it astonishing that this really needs to be explained. Believe it or not, it is entirely possible to have a conversation about the Bush presidency and actions undertaken by Bush without needing to discuss Obama, or Garfield, or Adams, or Buchanon. Fourth, I find it exceptionally amusing that you suddenly think I am afraid to discuss Obama and his policies, especially given quotes by you, Arch and others on here for the past two years that I do nothing EXCEPT write about Obama. Are you just incredibly uneasy discussing this topic or any topic involving Bush, and making the assumption that I must, therefore, also be uncomfortable discussing Obama? |

I suspect a quick search would bring up a lot more than that. And I'm guessing you mentioned him even more on CUF.
Me and Buttars. You and Hitler. Ain't life a beach?

Heh, so I'm right, eh? So much for "I only brought it up once."

I don't recall ever comparing a poster to Buttars. Except you. Go ahead and search both boards.

*shrug* I don't really care. You're still obsessed with the guy.
