BS: Teribus Back!!!!

Subject: BS: Teribus Back!!!!
From: Bobert

Hey, I couldn't believe my eyes when meanderin' thru Mudville there I spotted a postin' by the infamous Bush employee who has been assigned to various revoltionary websites to fight with the riff-raff...

Sniff, when the T-Bird departed shortly after his/her assignment in Mudville to quiet the voices who were predicting purdy much what has gone on in Iraq, I thought is was for-ever...

But, hark, now that Snitchgate has heated up, the T-Bird has been reassigned to Mudville and I, for one, am very happy to happy to have the T-Bird back....

We just haven't had that *quality* Bushite since T-Bird left... Yeah, we've had a few imposters who buckle under even the smallest of attacks.... But, now the T-Bird!!!!

This is the real deal, folks, and says to us all that, even fir a bunch of agin' folkies, we are still on the Bsuh radar screen.../

Don't get better than this....

I believe Teribus disappeared right around the time Martin Gibson, who also appears to be back, appeared here.

Coincidence? I think not.

Its amazing isn't it. He is actually one of the very few who still believes that Bush is a fearless leader. To hear him, you'd think that Bush was one of the world's intellects and leading strategists. He also admires Cheney's business ethics and thinks we are jealous of his success.

Someone should tell Teribus that money is not the only measure of success and that Cheney is a cold-blooded swindler. He should also be told that the Patriot Act and Homeland Security combined will not protect him from the power of the people.

Your day is coming, Teribus, and I will do everything I can to hasten its arrival.

I see he is getting a pasting from the friends of Ireland on another Thread, this is the man who gave such glowing reports to the US invasion of Iraq.

Reading some of Teribus`s earlier postings this little skirmish in Iraq should have been done and dusted, he is now looking a bigger fool than Bush and Blair, two bare-faced liars who have left the world in a state of chaos.

Right on Bobert, good to see this factless fool back.

But ya' gotta love ol' T fir pure courage of conviction... No matter how wrong T is on any subject the T-Biord ain't gonna throw in the towel... No sire... Quite the opposite..

Now fir any of you Catters who ain't wrestled with Teribus I'll let you in on a little insight... When T is cornered T will try to shift the idscussion by giving yopu along homework assignemnt... Don't fall fir this little trick.... Just pounce harder 'cause the homework assigment is signiture T when in the corner... Kinda like an intellectual "rope-'a-dope" that Mohammmed Ali used to employ...

But, all in all, nice to have T-Bird back in the fold...

You know another curious aspect of T's re-emergence is that it is corresponding to "Snitch-Gate" heatin' up... Bush may have reassigned him here to try to shift the blame to reporters and maybe eevn Valarie Plume herself...

(Yeah, Bobert, that's prolly it... I mean, why else would Bush reassign him to Mudville?)

It still baffles me that after the truth came out that people still think we had a reason to go to war with Iraq.
Fact, 15 of the 17 hijackers were Saudis. Osama Bin Laden is a Saudi.
Bushs' own flunkies told him there were no WMDs because 7 years of inspections turned up nothing.

Repeat a lie often enough, and most (of your own) people will believe it. Make it a really BIG lie, and it works even better. Talk to Karl Rove or the late Josef Goebbels for handy tips on how to use this excellent strategy, grow strong, and take over the World.

Teribus may be wrong on quite a few issues, but he is a worthy opponent. He will make those of us on the other side get our facts together, avoid conspiracy theories, and in general sharpen our arguments.

Martin Gibson and fact are a contradiction in terms.

Somehow, I slightly doubt that they are the same person. It is also not true that the disappearance of Teribus coincided with the appearance of Martin Gibson.

From: akenaton

Teribus is a believer in "facts".
He loves facts because they can be twisted to prove any argument, you just have to suspend free thought.

Dont try to play Teribus at his own game, as he carries a large book of "facts", and being numerically superior he will always be able to trump any puny fact that you might use.

Interesting discussion on "facts" HERE

Subject: RE: BS: Teribus Back!!!!
From: Ron Davies

Not true, Ake--Teribus does not have all the facts, or at least will not reveal those unhelpful to his cause. It's up to us to do that--and worthwhile, since, as I said, it strengthens our arguments.

Teribus makes up his own "facts". Which does, as Ron has suggested, keep anyone who wants to argue with him on his or her toes. It's a lot easier and less time consuming to make up a "fact" than it is to disprove one.

Teribus and I have seldom had any fights despite acknowledging that the other might be fulla shit. There is a big difference between disliking the position another person holds and disliking the person.

I would nominate Teribus as the Ian Paisley of the Mudcat, read back on some of the Threads he contributed to, in one of them he was interrogating IRA men and had them singing like birds after a half hour of grilling.

Are we not lucky to have such a man on the `cat, he must have been really sick to find that after thirty years and more, the bloody paddies hadn`t gone away, also could be nominated as the Billy Liar of the `cat.

Question: If I - any one of us - decided to produce and post alter egos how would I go about it? Would I opt for a persona totally different from mine or perhaps someone just slightly different or would I choose to get a clone that rah-rahhed me on? (I've always wanted unconditional love. *G*) Next question: How would I keep them separate? Overlap could be mighty embarrassing.

If yer askin' me, Amos, I think he's in Ottawa running for public office or some such disrespectful thing. I always knew he'd come to no good. The bananas are another story, They were on sale. Never tasted one. Don't see the point really. Ya skin 'em and throw away the bone, there's nothin' left to eat.

You silly. The outside is the best part.

Hey, did you ever hear that the inside at the foot end of a banana must be thrown away because it is 'snakebit'? That's what a friend from Moravia (Czech Republic) told me. She said that as kids they were always warned.

I reminded her that snakes are not fruit eatersa and suggested that the woody bit is simply where the banana is attached to the 'hand' of banana. She didn't buy it. And she happens to be a very bright, talented, skilled-at-oil painting-restoration individual. There is no accounting for some people's blind spots. Not mine, of course.

Yech, I must defend Teribus here. Whatever your feelings for his beliefs, methods, etc., I don't see what he's done to deserve a whole thread devoted to attacking him. The first post is thinly disguised as a "welcome back" message, but Bobert's intentions are clearly the opposite.

I've had an argument or so with Teribus myself, and while I'm not wild about some of his tactics, I've always considered him to one of the more "polite" right-wing guys here. Why is so much anger directed at him? I've seen people go ape-shit about him before, and I just don't get it. If you disagree with him, argue your position. If you can spot the flaws in his logic, nail him. But this is just cheap.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Teribus has never been rude to me. I hope I haven't to him. We have exchanged views now and then, and to some it might have seemed we were insulting each other--and we were. But there was a tacit understanding in place and we've both managed to keep it just below the eff ewe stage of things. Well, maybe we've even gone there, but we get along anyway. I agree with Lepus: ya want to attack his views, do so. You want to attack him, wait until you meet him in person.

Howl yer whist there guest. Didn't I meet yer man himself wan night when I got lifted and they tuk me to the Crum. In he walks. Says he, "I'm Teribus Paddy, what's your name?" Some interogatin' technique boy. Sure I was fucked right there. I hadn't a barney what he was gettin' at. Then he beat me about the face and neck with a lump of a phone book. Says he, "that'll leave no mark and be better for your complexion into the bargain." Thank Christ it wasn't The Complete works of Shakespeare. But I have to say he was very polite when he beat you even though we were lesser mortals and deserved every second af it.
