"guess you don't hang around in crowds where you know people who have changed their minds about voting for Obama based on his statement like I have"

If people don't want to vote for Obama based on his policies, then that's just fine and dandy. If they are basing it on this statement then they are choosing to make their decision based on ignorance and that is just sad.

Again,

Interesting. Well, since I haven't said anything about my position, and since this is not a political blog, and since I guess you haven't been reading the latest polling data, and since I guess you don't hang around in crowds where you know people who have changed their minds about voting for Obama based on his statement like I have, I guess we'll just leave it there.

"Obama is sinking in the polls for using that reference"

LMAO!

Everyone is laughing at the McCain campaign for trying to make an issue out of that remark (one McCain himself has used more than once...) The old Karl Rove smear tactics aren't going to work this time...

I can't wait `til next November when the Republican party gets humiliated and I can finally start

2008-09-11T01:19:00.000-07:00

If Obama is sinking in the polls for using that saying alone than people are much more ignorant than I thought.

It's a common saying people! Sheesh!

2008-09-10T21:16:00.000-07:00

Yes, I used those words. No, you cannot pull them out of context like that and retain the meaning. Obama is sinking in the polls for using that reference, and so it probably isn't advisable to associate yourself with that comment here.

Callous? Excitable? Rough? Less than effective?

There's an appropriate phrase making the rounds in the political news today; something about lipstick and pigs...;-)

A Hermit,

I cannot comment on what happens outside of my presence, but I know that Joe can be pretty callous at times. It is something that is, in my view, preventing him from being as effective as he could be in speaking to others about Christianity.

I leave it to him to answer you, if any answer is forthcoming. For purposes here, I will simply stand by my belief that Joe,

"Well, I have known Joe for about 10 years now. I agree that his language at times has been extremely harsh -- in fact, I have deleted some of his comments off of this site. But I have had long conversations with the guy. I know him. I know what he's about. He comes across poorly at times, IMO, but that happens at times when he is passionate about something and feels that he is under attack."<

You still missed one "Fine. Are you happy now, dip****? Are you ever happy?"

I don't care that you deleted my comments, I just didn't want you to leave one up that could potentially offensive. :-)

Mike,

I simply deleted the whole chain. If I deleted any inappropriately, I apologize.

What you mean of course is that Joe has never been hateful towards YOU. Some of us have had a different experience in that regard...;-)

BK, I think you missed one (The one beginning "Fine. Are you happy now") and deleted others that didn't have swearing. Oh well, I wasn't very fond of the conversation anyway. ;-)

2008-09-09T21:18:00.000-07:00
Sorry Mike, I had to delete your comments because you quoted wholesale the comments of Anonymous/Goliath.

Anonymous/Goliath, I don't care if you have a conversation and make a point about whether Joe is actually hateful (he's not), but I won't let your foul language stand. Clean up your act, please.

"...that's what the other guys said to me after you left..."

Which "other guys" and how would they know what my intentions were?

But it's always easier to believe I'm a liar than it is to face the truth isn't it Joe? You need to stop crying, playing the victim and projecting your anger on people like me. All you can do is change your own behaviour.

Thanks Mike. that is a great post

Way to turn that other cheek, metacrock! Show 'em that Christian love!

so you think saying that he has a chip on his shoulder, which the other posters all said, is brutal and cruel and shows no love?

ok that's interesting. so who is way too sensative?

who is making this about the personalities?

See what I mean? You substitute these imaginary motives for my actual behaviour and use that to justify your abusive behaviour.

I came to your forum in the hopes of finding mature, stimulating conversation, found you ranting about atheist "Nazis", objected to that characterization and was
