I've been working, so I haven't had a chance to post, but I will say this: Moore is like the black republican. They trot him out because he was involved in greenpeace and somehow "saw the light" in the same way they do when they find black republicans. Moore is the unicorn of the environmental debate in the same way that the black rebulbican is the unicorn of politics. Look! We found one! Give him a mic, quick! In moore's case it makes him money. It's his job. That's why he does videos like these- he's a self-promoter. That's also why it's suspect. And the way he's introduced, in this video and everywhere else I've seen him (Fox News) is equally fishy.

So what you are saying is that people like Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain and Ben Carson are just Uncle Toms?

Which definition are you using to say that in this video, Moore is a shill? And what company/industry is he being a shill for exactly?

No one suggested they were from Drudge.. try again?
I did that on purpose. Sarcasm is lost on people like you, and for that I apologize. But good news, I made this post in the smallest possible area so you can't get upset about it!
Look at the posts where I am talking to Backlash and cwolff about them being so wrong they have bipartisanship against them. They were specific posts. You have to read the thread to figure that out.
What other words would you like me to use when you post in a hypocritical and ironic way? There is a surefire way to get me to stop pointing this out: Stop posting like you do.

When your links curiously enough always show up in aggregators one has to wonder where they come from.

You repeat your snipe lines over and over. It is hardly limited to me. Typically a discussion has gone on for some time. You show up. Drop a "Hypocrite!" "Irony!" or an img. Since you're convinced you're clearly so intellectually superior to everyone else, a veritable conservative pundit, why not use your words so that we can be blasted by the sheer potency of your logic.

Not at all. What I'm saying is that the right sees their conservatism as a justification for many of their practices.

fact is it's an effective tactic. The left does it too.

I accept your apology.

Yeah. David Frum's a definite example. He can regularly be counted on to tout Obama policies while declaring how much of a conservative he is and how he understands Republicans better than anybody.

Why do you wonder where they came from? I linked the actual source. What difference does it make if I got the site from Drudge and then linked it here? You are making zero sense.

I've never, ever stated that I am intellectually superior to everyone. Just certain people who make it painfully obvious that they are dumber than 95% of the human population.

I accept your apology.

Me: Look up the definition of "shill" again, because you are incorrect.
You: Here's a link of 6 definitions of the word.
Me: Which definition would you like to use?
You: Diversion tactic.
