Thomas Sowell coined a phrase recently that I find to be perfectly hilarious and perfectily true... 'snivel rites "leaders"'...:D

[Blackhawk]

Snivelrights Leaders! :neener:

I love it! :neener:

[WilderBill]

I love it. Goes right along with civil serpent and of course anything else related to de Muck Rats.

[Malone LaVeigh]

As I recall, that expression was popular with the KKK in about 1965. How far we've come...

[Sergeant Bob]

God Bless America is pretty popular with the Klan too.....:rolleyes:

[MeekandMild]

NAACP is just the klan in blackface. :what:

[fallingblock]

Meek and Mild!:)

Bigotry is available in a wide range of colors:uhoh:

[Tim Burke]

I'm quite sure that Thomas Sowell is a closet member of the KKK.:rolleyes:

[Don Gwinn]

Yes, that's right Malone. And the Nazis and the Fascists were pretty big on "efficiency," so I guess we'll have to praise organized people for their "inefficiency" instead. Wouldn't want to use language that was popular with people who were wrong a long time ago.

If the shoe fits . . . . . tell me, do you think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are not sniveling con men? I want you to think carefully about shakedowns, Budweiser concessions and Tawana Brawley (sp?) before you answer.

[cheygriz]

Dr. Thomas Sowell is probably one of the top five greatest intellects of the 20th century.

He ranks with Einstein, von Braun and Teller.

[Sir Galahad]

Malone, you also throw around the word "imperialism" all over this board, but I'll bet you don't think you're a communist just because communists use that word, do you?

[CZ-75]

I'll bet you don't think you're a communist just because communists use that word, do you?

Just don't ask me to answer that question. ;)

[Malone LaVeigh]

Two points:

Thomas Sowell did not "coin" the phrase.

Who would think such a juvenile term is clever?

[Sir Galahad]

And who would think such a juvenile phrase as "No blood for oil!" is something to base foreign policy on?:rolleyes:


Or that words popularized by communists, such as "imperialism", are somehow morally superior to phrases coined by conservatives. Or more "clever". :rolleyes:

[MeekandMild]

Two points: There's a third point and it's where you hang your hat, Malone. I dislike your ad hominum insults and find you to be both debased and rude.

Wow, don't like his (which aren't even there!) and then use your own! Now that's classy!

Malone, not having been raised in the Klan (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=173959#post173959) most of the rest of us don't carry your emotional baggage. You'd be surprised to learn that some of us recognize your reaction formation for what it it, not that it makes your cruel jokes any easier to bear.

Regardless of whatever are your issues please make more effort to be kind. By ad hominum insults I mean remarks like "I've had much better things to do lately than to argue with a bunch of whackos" (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=186653#post186653), "(t)he ignorance here is monumental" (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=173979#post173979), "(m)aybe you should listen to what they're saying instead of ranting about what you think they're saying" (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=158375#post158375), "(c)'mon guys, I know there are some really smart people here. I've been coming here and TFL for over a year. How can so many of you not get the simple facts from this story?" (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=148586#post148586), "(m)aybe you have a better handle than I on how weasels think" (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=127084#post127084), and of course the one about the "juvenile term".

Try to be less mean spirited in the future, eh? :p

[MeekandMild]

TexasVet this has been boiling for a while. ;)

[TexasVet]

Hey, Illogical is illogical, for any reason!:D

[MeekandMild]

:D

[D_Burchfield]

Hey cheygriz,

Do you mean the Teller guy from Penn and Teller?:neener:

But I do like the "snivel rites' line.

[Malone LaVeigh]

And who would think such a juvenile phrase as "No blood for oil!" is something to base foreign policy on?"No blood for oil" is a rather simplistic slogan response to a stupid and, arguably, juvenile foreign policy. No one is offering it as something to base foreign policy on.
Or that words popularized by communists, such as "imperialism", are somehow morally superior to phrases coined by conservatives. Or more "clever"."Imperialism" is a word in Standard American English. You could look it up. If you have a problem with whether the word is properly applied, you're welcome to argue on the merits. I guess I'll have to plead guilty to finding it "superior" to a made up term with deep racist roots. Somehow implying it has something to do with being popularized by communists is certainly a "clever" debating tactic.

My family were of the more gentille Citizen's Council persuasion. My best friend's father was in the Klan.

But I do apologize if I offended anyone.

[CZ-75]

I guess I'll have to plead guilty to finding it "superior" to a made up term with deep racist roots.

We have only your word for that.

I found the term used in several articles that had no overt racist undertones (Incl. one in the Jewish World Review), unless criticizing the NAACP, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson is racist.

You're closer to the Klan than anyone I know.

[Malone LaVeigh]

Oh, yeah? Takes one to know one, pottyhead. I know you are, but what am I?

Your mother wears army boots.

:rolleyes:

All this from someone making backhanded remarks about "snivel rights" as Klan parlance (still unsubstantiated).

Inference: You use the term, you're in the Klan or a sympathiser.

Personal anecdote by same individual shows that he is way closer to the Klan than anyone that I know, and most likely, anyone on this board knows. Therefore, guilt by association tars him double, as opposed to those using the term "snivel rights."

What a Maroon.

Too much pot and LSD at Bezerkly.

It makes one long for Agricola so that we can see the Left's perspective from an intelligent point of view.

[Coronach]

Aight.

Anyone recall the name of this forum? Lets debate the points, gentlemen.
