Buz outdoes himself
Buz old bean, you've set a new standard. In a post of 4 sentences, you've managed to make 4 different debating errors. Well done.
First sentence, poisoning the well.
Second sentence, tu quoque.
Third sentence, changing the subject.
Fourth sentence, ad hominem.
I'm going to ask you one simple question. The topic of the sentence is the despicability of praying for the death of President Obama. Do you condemn or support this action? Don't call anyone else names. Don't say others do worse. Just tell us whether you support or condemn the actions described in the OP.
I'm, laying 7 to 2 that you can't do that.

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus. -- Thomas Jefferson
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. -- Barack Obama
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat

Yup, what I figured.

Re: Soapbox
That the two previous presidents weren't impeached was surprising then.
Just picking a nit here. Clinton was impeached. He wasn't removed.
Carry on.
