Squawk, squawk, squawk. The parrot never stops.
[Arlo]
OK. I understand "thinking" is hard for you. I
get that. So let me try to explain it again. When
you repeat YOURSELF to ensure others who come to
the dialogue later are not misinformed, this is
not being a parrot. Many, many people repost
their words there, and I've never levelled a
charge of squawking against any of them. YOU, on
the other hand, as it has been CLEARLY shown (and
I do repeat below) simple repeat the verbatim
squawk points that are rehashed ad nauseum in your little media world.
Evidence. Anyone can simply turn on any of the
Prime Squawkers tonight, get out some beer, and
play "drink whenever I hear banal, cliche or
doesn't believe it himself" used to describe the
Obama speech. Its that easy. The evidence is
there. "Banal", "cliche" and "doesn't believe it
himself" are simply the rehashed squawk points
clearly used by the talk-radio buffoons, and
clearly re-squawked over and over by the "dittoheads" (apropos name, btw).
Here, though, you give a CLASSIC example of the
Great Pee Wee Maneuever. I've called you on this
many times before (anyone can check the
archives), and while it is a straightforward
tactic, your use of it here is TEXTBOOK. You are
no longer even trying to deny (you can't) the
"squawk trifecta" you posted earlier, but now,
having been called on it, shown to be a parrot,
you try to turn that around to make ME out to be
what I've clearly shown to be you.
Pee Wee Herman's classic line "I know what you
are but what am I?" sums up this sad rhetorical
ploy exactly. I'm a bit surprised you'd try to
pull it off here, I mean, its kinda obvious. But
I know you work with a limited number of rhetorical devices.
[Platt]
And here he is a professor at a state college and
doesn't know how to spell "squawk."
[Arlo]
Guilty as charged. You got me on this one. In my
defense, however, I'll only say that I am very,
very happy that "squawk" is not a word I am
forced to use in my daily activity very much at
all, so I have little practice spelling it, nor
little need to, until I find myself confronted with, well, people like you.
But at least I can admit when I've been called correctly on something.
==============
In case anyone missed it, I'll include this
embarrassing evidence of squalking in all my replies on this thread.
[Platt]
Easy to be distracted since Obozo's speech was
full of cliches and banalities, most of which he doesn't believe himself.
[Arlo]
Squalk, "banal". Squalk, "cliche". Squalk, "doesn't believe himself".
From yesterday's American Thinker response to the President's speech.
"With his Back to School Event (text here),
President Obama becomes the nation's
Nanny-in-Chief, filling his speech with
banalities at every turn, a speech as forgettable
as any principal's remarks at the opening
assembly of the year. The triumph of the banal is
complete as clichés cascade from the eloquent Obama lips..."
Our resident parrot fulfills his chosen roll once again.
But lest anyone think "banal" and "cliche" are
recent squalking points of the talk-radio morons,
I invite you all to do a Google search for "banal
cliche obama speech". From The Weekly Standard to
The Washington Monthly, to countless re-squalks
on blogs and forums (where the good little
parrots squalk back the talking points they hear
on that day's Hush Bimbo program).
Want more? From Hush's grammatically incorrect
response to the speech on his website yesterday.
"He just gave a speech that he doesn't believe a
word of." Want even more?*.... Let's play a
drinking game. If you can stomach the vitriol for
longer than a few minutes, turn on the Hannity
radio program for a while today, and drink every
time he squalks (or a caller resqualks) the words
"banal" and "cliche" and "doesn't believe it
himself". I guarantee you'll be drunk in less than an hour.
All the correct squalks from our resident parrot.
How fucking embarrassing to hear it here.
