I don't know who is the bigger douchebag in this video -- Rick Sanchez for trying to make his coverage of the story bigger than the story itself, or Goldfarb for, well, just being a jackass trying to promote a ridiculous talking point that he evidently doesn't even understand.

And by the way, the fact that this a Rick Sanchez clip and we're even [I]having a debate[/I] about who the bigger douchebag is is really saying something...

c'mon really? that's quite a big stretch, even for you...

for someone that claims to be an independent, libertarian, conservative (or whatever), you sure do seem to get alot of your talking points & related bs, from the HuffPo & the Daily Kos...

tomorrow morning... check your sources...

Toasty, er' I mean 88Mariner... If you can't answer my original question, then I won't bother to acknowledge your third-rate attempts at slight-of-hand & misdirection... using bullshit sources no less, in an attempt to create a non-controversy, using some ridiculous & laughably indirect connection, to some sort of distribution of grant funds...

it's like arguing with an attorney, about the definition of "is"

don't waste my time... :roll::roll::roll:

Before you rest, you might want to address the articles 88 cited, because they don't suffer from this same "deficiency." :roll:

Why is it that I literally feel my IQ shrinking every time I log in and discuss politics here ???

My position on these matters is pretty well-documented on this board, and it's not my responsibility to rehash them a few times a day because you think of a new way to phrase the same tired accusations and intimations. If there was something truly disqualifying about any of this, it would have stuck. That you personally believe it should be imbued with a heightened significance doesn't change my mind.

Re: Khalidi and, Uh, Who?

dude. it's a tax filing. it isn't opinion. it isn't punditry. it's a FILING with the government. Read it. That you care that it is hosted on huffingtonpost is absurd and does not vitiate what it outlines.

and secondly, you didn't [I]ask[/I] a question.

edit: who would I be if I wanted to ignore the bad facts and shine light only on the good facts? The answer may be right under your nose...

Hey, speaking of sleight of hand and misdirection, you never addressed the actual subject of the post, which is that yet another McCain surrogate has gotten dressed down for not being able to offer anything more than regurgitated talking points that they just repeat until the questioner gets tired...

Um, there is never a contest on who is a bigger douche bag when rick sanchez is involved. I had to deal with that prick for many years in South Florida. :| fuck he is stupid

I hate Rick Sanchez like he's from an old rival neighborhood on the other side of the tracks. Even so, I think this dude gives him a run for his money...

Re: Khalidi and, Uh, Who?

Oh, and by the way:

[QUOTE]The Verdict: True. There was a relationship in the 1990s between the IRI, chaired by McCain, and the CPRS, co-founded by Khalidi, which received IRI funding.[/QUOTE]

I'm sure you'll decry CNN as being a leftist organization as well, but there ya go regardless...

I cant watch it. Rick Sanchez is on it.

Here is something about him that he should have been jailed for:
