Hundal to a tee.

Where is Chris standing in the General Election?

If it were not for the likelyhood that postal votes are a form of fraud, I’d be willing to bet that he gets less than a thousand votes, anywhere….

I suppose there may be some satisfaction in slagging off complete strangers.

Oh the fucking irony! Or the complete utter innocence.

See your good mate, presumeably, Closet Libertarian, who expresses herself in a cute and vibrant fashion:

Fuck me Sunny, you really are a retarded, dreary cunt you know that? It’s thanks to stupid leftist pricks like you that we’re fucked.

What a hoot!

What a sweary idiot, lacking a brain cell.

Even liberals can use words like ‘cunt’ and not be too embarrassed about it. We tend not to, but that is a choice.

If your hubby or your very good friend Closet Libertarian wants to get into a swearing competition, she or he’d lose.

Guaranteed.

Now stop pretending you are some sort of innocent around here……

Devils Kitchen has made a ‘fucking’ living out of being a sweary wee ‘cunt’.

Yeah… I suppose there may be some satisfaction in slagging off complete strangers. I don’t know that my libertarian ‘blog chums’ derive all that much pleasure from being really angry all the time, but… *shrug* Maybe they do.

Well done lad.

As for being bitter, I’m actually laughing uproariously. You see, I enjoy slagging people off and I don’t particularly mind if people do it to me. There’s a certain joy you can only get from berating someone- as a libertarian would surely know given what your blog chums tend to be like.

How does responding to your comment constitute ignoring what you said? I read it quite carefully:

whatever Mounsey is like as a person…nothing he has publicly said suggests he’d be anything other than a toatl disaster as a person

And really, if you’re not going to make any sense, I can’t really be bothered to address the rest of your bitter remarks.

That’s why your fucking feeble “party” got 36 votes the last time it tried walking the walk.

I’m not apologising for him, nor am I campaigning. I’m just pointing out the silliness of the idea that all party leaders must be au fait with Adam Smith.

‘Goalpost-moving and whataboutery’? Okay, if you say so. At least I’m trying to keep it fairly impersonal. You can talk about my ‘marital home’ if you want; I’d rather keep the discussion on actual politics.

I’m sure in the marital home he is a dear sweet chap. But why would I give a flying fuck? I’m not voting for whether he’s a thoughtful, considerate husband but for whether his stances are coherent and his judgment is sound. So I judge based on his online statements, inasmuch as he hasn’t deleted them soon after posting. Which is why I’d never in a million years support the LURPAK.

It’s really not that big a deal. Do you think Gordon Brown, for instance, knows what Adam Smith said about anything? Or that be believes Adam Smith was right? DK is a party leader, not an economist. Just like Gordon Brown, really. And seeing as DK has never been anywhere near directing the economic policy of the country, you might just give it a rest.

What’s worse is that people are defending and even praising his lack of basic knowledge. For Bella to say “it’s okay to not have read Smith, you can hear about it from one’s wife and from others” is shocking.

I think this pretty much sums up the whole bloggertarian movement. In fact, I’d say this quote from Chris Mounsey should be the epitaph on his political gravestone:

“Since I haven’t read Smith, I have no idea what he said about progressive taxation—and I don’t really care.”

First: racism

Second: Asians

obnoxiousness – hatefulness: the quality of being hateful, which after reading your post describes your comment perfectly. person on this specific thread is YOU

In fact this entire blog has turned into a forum for spouting infantile accusations against each other.

Idiot. Any fool knows that class is defined by one’s occupation. Does a millionaire businessman who loses it all and becomes a shop assistant become working class? Yes he does.

You’re quite right. I amend my description to include only those who have been rude etc. in this particular discussion.

Honestly – the political left go on and on about how everybody else lowers the tone of debate, yet here on this one post, the left display that they too are childish, rude, frustrated, impatient, arrogant, and incredibly nosy. At no point have I written anything that deserves your snide insinuations regarding my grasp on reality.

I think you wrote a post once which, quite rightly, pointed out that drawing generalisations from the behaviour of one or two Libertarians was silly. I don’t think I’m being too much of a tosser to suggest that a similar rule applies here.
