The singer, not the song

There are just some people that simply do not like anything Barack Obama says or does. It's nothing personal. They are just more astute than anyone else is and are therefore able to readily recognize that everything he says and does actually IS wrong and WILL lead to the total destruction of America as we know it. It's nothing personal and it certainly isn't racist because, they don't feel that way about all niggers, just him.

Really now, how could everything a president says or does be wrong? What are the odds?

Honestly, in the threads Ferrerman was getting the same treatment. I was was always "clueless, nuts and spam" no matter what I posted! Imagine that! What are the odds?

I noticed that not all democrat posters were treated that way. I always was though. So, of course, it had nothing to do with the quality of my posts. It was just cheap, anti-Ferrerman sentiment. A couple of people- for their own psychotic reasons- had chosen to dedicate their lives to putting negative icons on every post Ferrerman- or a suspected Ferrerman- makes on Topix!

Well, we already knew that. DUH.

The thing is, anti-Obama sentiment is the same as anti-Ferrerman sentiment. It's all hated-based and nothing else. In my case and in Obama's, politics is used to justify hatred for an individual. This is weak. It's not to be respected or feared. When opinions are hate-based, they cease to be opinions. They are merely vulgar expressions of fear.  Atticus Finch would  not debate a rabid dog.

If it wasn't so generic and perfunctory, it might be taken more seriously. What a surprise that a teabagger is against something Obama wants to do! What a surprise that a teabagger is against Ferrerman saying "hey" to an attractive,  blonde, English chick! The bastard! I don't know if that post even got iconned. It was pulled, literally inside of five minutes. It's hard out there for a Ferrerman when one of your trolls is a Topix mod. Just sayin'....

So, it's hard to take Obama detractors or Ferrerman detractors seriously. It's interesting that they tend to be cut from the same soiled cloth of misplaced patriotism.

One of the reasons I retired Ferrerman from Topix was, there was barely anything resembling polite, political discourse. No matter what brilliant insight I posted, it was captured in reply by various socks calling me names. I would rarely post to these miscreants anyway but, they'd see "Ferrerman" on the index and swarm like flies to honey. Whether it was one person with 50 *personalities* or five with fifty, theirs is an exercise in futility. They need to hate. And Topix needs the clicks. It's a match made somewhere south of Heaven. I don't think we ever have to worry about these haters getting better, in thought or deed.

It's funny, the rules of Topix and the game plan etc. There is not a brighter poster out there than Chili J. His posts continually make fun of everything the retarded Duh Clems, HHs and Goons In drag of Topix post. Did you notice he never ever gets a bad icon? Is there a letter or note posted near the bathroom or water cooler stating that it's illegal to icon him badly? You'd THINK at least a new passerby of TeaPublican values would see it and icon the H out of it but nope. Why does he get a pass and good folks like you not? The Topix network of evil is alive and well.

It does seem like a dog and pony show at times...

@ first Anonymous -- based on my Offbeat time:

Another poster who has stopped posting has had the same treatment while battling the same posters you've mentioned.

To my knowledge, neither has really criticized or challenged to any major extent the core of the 'old guard' of Offbeat: some who formed up in secret societies, and some 'old guard' who didn't form up but nevertheless have alignment with one or more of that group.

I suspect there's some who don't post much but 'bird-dog' the forum as well as the frequent posters.

Though usually negative by default, Ferrerman, some others, and I sometimes get positive icons for a short time, then those are over-written.

I know a great post when I write one...or read one and, it tickles me that the good icons are there for a few moments and then an avalanche of bad icons buries the good, as if appreciation were futile. Honestly, that's all they got.

It is rather amusing to see them run around screaming and yelling about everything. I've started two threads since I joined topix. Both were about bogus legislation that the president was going to sign into law. One was about a new tax that was going to be put on condoms and the other the same but taxing tampons. Neither lasted long, obviously, but for their short life span, the hatred for the president shown brightly. None of them bothered to research either subject. They simply started screaming "socialist, marxist, communist" as loud as they could.

A few years ago i tried posting some off the wall, over the top, reichwing shit and people believed it. Well, why not? These days it's hard to tell The Onion from Foxnews. I can't sustain a character like that and, frankly, those idiots write themselves as it were!
