Its great to know that should you lose at Wall Street Politics, you can always fall back to your promising career as a psychic.
Are we allowing mind-reading into debate now? How am I supposed to defend against this kind of argument? This discussion is pointless and the conversation is now over.
You're like a vortex of stupidity. Your underlying assumptions are easily deducible from the statements you made: Unless you think there's an equivalence, there's no point in making the sarcastic comment in the first place. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you actually had a point to make.
This is called logic. Something at which you are always outclassed, and it's no wonder you'd ascribe magical psychic powers to something of which those of average intelligence are easily capable.
Either you can admit that that's what you think ("The left is just as uncivil as the right"), or you can come clean and tell us that you were just dribbling nonsense down the front of your shirt.
Your call. Either way, everything I've said is correct.

Nice job knocking down a strawman. While the left isn't as uncivil as the right, you actually manage to exceed the right's incivility while simultaneously demonstrating your ineptitude at basic social skills.
I said this conversation is over. There's no point in continuing this conversation, because even if I stated my actual beliefs(which are, in fact, drastically different from what you guess at), it would do little to please you.

edit: eh, I might as well, its fun to blow off steam. Disclaimer that this post is out in open air. Of COURSE the left isn't as nasty and uncivil as the right. You generally aren't going to find the same vitriol that you will if you listen to Limbaugh or Savage rambling about how liberals hate America. Where they make up for it is with a unique level snark and condescension. They work not by openly bashing how horrible conservatives are, but by operating off the unstated assumption that they are both insane and stupid. Its something that doesn't appear to be rude, because if you think conservative views are stupid you won't even notice it. Its a frame that holds true matter how often the conservative in question has turned out to be (

You'll get no further satisfaction than me. If you wish to further stroke your ego, go beat up some of the bums that laze around outside the cocktail lounge.

The fact is you can maintain the idea that " the left isn't as uncivil as the right" and "exceed the right's incivility" at the exact same time, hell, in the same sentence, without any apparent recognition of the cognitive dissonance that that requires. And you wonder why anybody implies that you're stupid?
But really, at the end of the day, you admit that I'm right - there is no comparable equivalence, but rather, your feelings are hurt that liberals look down on you. And your attempt to rectify this is to keep saying stupid shit? Haven't you learned your lesson?
Think rationally, and people will treat you as a rational thinker. Parrot disproven ideological crap, and ridiculous insane hyperbole, and people will treat you as an ignorant ideologue. Your call.

So you are the left now? I said YOU exceed the right's incivility, not the let as a whole

Ahhh, and that matters because?
Fair enough, if you truly were just whining about how I treat you and not the left as a whole, that's not a contradiction... but why bother with such a non sequitur? You're a tar-baby of ridiculous arguments, each layer exposing even more nonsensical gibberish. Yes, I'm mean to you. Let's all cry about it. That's why you are so often greeted with condescension and snark - you earn it by your ridiculousness
But the end result is that in this case you are entirely unconflicted about admitting that I was right all along: Mike Malloy's comments don't show any sort of hypocrisy, and thus anyone who would sarcastically imply they do is a fucktard.
Good thing you've finally come around, but then that begs the question, why'd you bother posting such nonsense in the first place?

I'm not going to repeat myself.
But, yes, of course not. His comment's don't really prove anything other than the fact that he is a turd. The only thing that I'll say in his defense is that he's still not as dumb as the "this justifies everything Bush did" crowd.

No, you're not getting out of this that easy, just say it: "RBJ, you were right all along, and my attempt at sarcasm was misguided and ignorant."
Your continued and repeated intellectual inferiority gives me great amusement. :)

It is good that at least someone is amused.
