Aren’t you?
My viewpoint on Kennedy isn’t rare. Too bad it pains you to see it so much that you keep deleting your own diaries.
Anyway, have a good day.
I posted an encomium to the late Ted Sorensen, master wordsmith.
Someone decided this was another chance to say something irrelevant — about John Kennedy, or perhaps it was a post generated by the beta version of Goggle’s AI auto-post software.
In any case, the topic wasn’t an appropriate place for the daily Skull Flush and I deleted the diary to maintain some minimum decorum, given the subject.
They missed the part where I praised both Sorenson and Kennedy, too.
Because you deleted your own diary – twice.
If you’re going to post on this website, you better be ready for people to disagree, argue, and troll you.
You come off looking like a thin-skinned whiner with posts like this.
The objection was not about anything that anyone said TO or ABOUT me or even the content of the post.
The post was a mild tribute to a person who had just died and who contributed a great deal to a generation’s view of itself and its country. Was this the time and place for venting an entirely irrelevant attack on JFK? Or, indeed, any attack on anyone? I thought not, and took the diary off so as to deprive a certain individual of a chance to vent in connection with Ted Sorensen’s death.
I’m fully aware that there are no standards here — intellectual or behavioral.
Usually Barron X did it, but I suppose since he’s not around, LB has to troll it.
Next time leave it up. It makes Laughing Boy look bad, not Ted Sorenson or John Kennedy.
I praised both Sorenson and Kennedy.
I was a stinker about ‘progressive’ Dems.
Some of you guys should be thanking me – I’ve drawn JO’s ire, leaving some of you to post in relative peace.
sorenson and L. Brent Bozell (Barry Goldwater’s speechwriter.)
Which I do. And agree with your decision to delete.
It’s too bad the Rev. Phelpses are always out there, waiting…waiting…waiting…to be assholes.
the the Rev. Phelps.
Speaking of demonizing people you disagree with … that’s absurd, Larry, and you know it.
Laughing Boy made some comments along the lines of JFK would be a Republican these days, or drummed out of the Democratic Party for supporting tax cuts and a strong defense. A few people responded that that was hogwash, including pointing to the biggest middle class tax cut in history, which was passed last spring by Democrats (without a single GOP vote in the House). There might have been more vehement discussion after that, but what was there when I last saw it was hardly disrespectful toward JFK or Ted Sorensen, it was the usual partisan needling.
That as a tax-cutter and foreign-policy hawk, JFK would be unlikely to be nominated as a Democrat these days.
It’s not disrespectful. It’s just what is.
But I’m actually on my way to a polling place with my placard that says “GOD HATES STRAIGHT VOTERS!!!”.
Galapago, way to ensure that you’ll never be taken seriously again with one comment. Cheers.
was equal to the situation at hand or one would be tempted to accuse you of extreme exaggeration and over the top rhetoric.
Oh, and Larry? JO regularly deletes his diaries–this is just the rare occasion where he actually explained why he did it.
On the other hand, having JO obsessing over LB is a pleasant change from JO obsessing over naughty language and just about everything else he thinks is fucked up on this blog.
That “fucked up” was just for you, JO. Big shout out for obscenity. 🙂
I never noticed JO was obsessed about shitty language before. Now that I know that shit…
How to be clever:
Type fuck
Type shit
Type fucker
Type asshole
Type asswipe
Type moron
Type idiot
Type Fuckin’ A
Type Fuckin’ B
Type Fuckin’ C
Voila, an intelligent, insightful discussion of politics!
Shit, today’s election day! Fuck. That fucker County Clerk didn’t send my mail ballot to me, so I had to go see the asshole. When I actually got the ballot I noticed my candidate wasn’t on there, some other asswipe named Bennet was! I’m not sure who this moron is but I’m betting Bennet is better than that other idiot, Buck.
Later I asked a friend, “You votin’?” He said, “Fuckin’ A!”
Then I asked two colleagues of mine, “Which of these Governor guys should I vote for, I’m not sure – a) I got a D who loves businesses and beer, b) I got a guy who is batshit crazy and wants to bomb middle eastern cities, and c) I got a guy who walks around with a shoe in his mouth.
One guy said, “Fuckin’ B!”
The other one said, “Fuckin C!”
I don’t know what to do JO. I want to be clever. Whaddya think?
I promoted it just because of what you said/
a master author and wordsmith and one of the last living links to JFK administration passed away. I thought it was worth just a few low-key tributes. Sorry if it started a row.
I was not, and am not, of a mind to provide a forum for those unable to contribute something meaningful, especially on the occasion of an obituary. IF, in my opinion, that requires deleting a diary to rid ourselves of useless drivel, so be it. If others want to interpret that in one way or another, I say: interpret ’til your heart’s content.
