OMFG! No fugging way! A teleprompter! What a fraud. Or not. What the fuck is all this bullshit about the teleprompter? Am I just not getting this because I'm not a yank? Is the teleprompter Satan's own work to you people?
How is it that a relatively obscure political neophyte (who bumbles a few questions during her campaign) tracks on your radar, and a sitting President who's repeatedly displayed his various and sundry shortcomings doesn't?
Well, since you're discussing the overactive imaginations of teabaggers and how they buy into their own cut-rate inebriate propaganda, that's all you really need. The Obama's-lost-without-a-teleprompter meme is pure, unadulterated, wingnut teabagger bullshit. Teabaggers are too dumb to understand the valid criticisms of Obama so they need to just make shit up.
Ummm....bullshit, Phil. Just upthread you were talking all about the locked-down mind of Barack Obama, and what a keen, superior understanding of the issues he possesses. If you're not getting your information from Obama's speechifying, where are you getting it?
Well funnily enough there was quite a lot of coverage of him for about 18 months during the campaign! And if I didn't agree with everything he said, and thought he was a bit light on the details and heavy on the rhetoric, I was pretty clear he wasn't stupid.
Well, I'm glad you recognize that shit can change dramatically in just 15 years. I mean, what do you think folks who believed that there was a pedophile ring located beneath a pizza joint in DC would make of a fight over releasing documents related to someone who trafficked underage girls? And I realize that this might be difficult to grasp, but do you suppose that it's entirely possible Zombie didn't die, but decided that rather than owning up to being wrong about shit, he just decided to abandon this place? It certainly wouldn't be the first time that someone decided to fuck off from here rather than owning up to the fact that they were wrong.
Edit: I seem to have got Zombie confused with someone else. Please ignore the below. I hope he isn't dead, but when people quit online communities they either tend to make a public show of it and sever, or slowly drift away. Zombie was very active one day, in the middle of a bunch of conversations, and then his account just never had any activity ever again.
Did any of the far right posters ever make it big and move on from WF? Or has it all been a) dead b) closet Nazi c) religious kook and d) foot problems?
Am I looking at the wrong account? When I look at his recent postings he was very active up until Jun 5 2020, went silent until Nov 2 2020 where he made this embarrassing post in the WF prediction thread: http://wordforge.net/index.php?posts/3286979/ And then lurked a couple more years.
Speaking of folks who ran away due to embarrassment is bowing to the ceremonial head of state of an ally better or worse than saluting the general of country you are still technically at war with?
I realize that you had someone else in mind when you posted this, but that doesn't match my experience at all. I have been a member of various FB groups or other online forums and there's come a moment when I was like, "Nah, fuck those guys" and I've just left, without ever looking back. Sure, I'm a bit of a weirdo, but am I that much more of a weirdo than folks who've posted in the same places I have? Probably not. And because of the particular vulgarities of my personal situation, if I were to drop dead tomorrow, the odds of that information propagating to social media well enough that someone here would know about it, even though I'm friends with a number of folks here on places like FB, are pretty low.
I also got curious and looked into it and I’m guessing he was thinking of oldfellah who did just drop off the face of the earth in the middle of multiple convos and never even lurked after.
