Yeah, I thought for sure it was by Les or SU.

Sarcasm?

Maybe he will enlighten us as to what is being whined about.

A bitchy post about whining? How postmodern.

Vote Republican
we dont pee in our pants.

Baby if this is what they b bringing
We got next.

I don't care what Silence's leanings are. It's the most boring, unimaginative Insta-clone blog on the net. If it weren't for inside access to information from his employer why would anyone go there?

My friends who know say he's impressively lazy. You put it so much more...pretty?

His whine post was even more brainless than most, but I'm not gonna whine about that.

"Libs?" Runny noses? Pants-peeing?

Boilerplate Boortzian journalism.

In this day and age, to do a post that mentions whining and does NOT mention the 8 year 200decibel whine from rethugnantcants about a popular sitting president under whom the economy flourished and our nation was popular around the world, is an indicator of disingenuousness. So transparently disingenuous in fact, that I can't even get upset enough to give him the traffic or comments he so badly wants.

CAFKIA

p.s. Really a 16 year whine as rare is the day even now that some reich-winger doesn't blame Bill for everything bad in the past and Hil for everything bad to come.

It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.

...this is why Ann Coulter is popular and why uncivil discourse rules the day.

See, it's always the fault of the "libs!"

You're probably right - it's the classic tactic of people like #9: Set up a discussion to provoke the precise response that you get, and then use that response as evidence of some deeper, darker conspiracy. Or just to reinforce stereotype.

It's a classic no-win frame: If you engage an argument with logic and discuss your points and address them with an even temper, you're being an egghead (q.v. Gore versus Bush debates). If you respond to vile provocation in kind, you're being shrill and mean. If you disagree with a conservative by asking the question "why," you're a whiner. If you like to discuss progressive causes among other progressives without the silly and provocative distractions of conservative trolls, you're setting up an echo chamber. If you take measures to encourage discussion of progressive causes by getting rid of trolling conservatives, then you're a Stalinist.

In fairness:

If you take a hard whack at a conservative, progressives will criticize you for chilling intellectualism. If you don't talk about the right topics, you obviously have some agenda and you're trying to distract everyone from doing the most important work. If you question fellow progressives about their approach to an issue, you're setting up the circular firing squad. If you don't appropriately disclaim the opinions of right-wing jerkoffs when you're satirizing their worldview, you're a shill for the GOP. If you're unnecessarily funny, you're unserious. If you're too serious, you're once again an egghead. If you don't support Hillary Clinton, you make Elizabeth Cady Stanton cry. If you go see Michael Moore movies, you're worse than Hitler.

And so on and so on and so on.
