Herschel Walker Says He’s a Model Dad. He Has a Secret Son.

[Warp12]

Teaches us something about Warp12, to be sure.

I don't know why this is suddenly so controversial. The article linked was from the beginning of August, and the info was part of a political smear campaign ad. Obviously many people agree with me on the matter. It appears that his poll numbers went up several points after this information was advertised.

I told you folks, that is how much people despise Dems.

 

[trustbutverify]

I'm just telling you I would vote for Walker before any Dem. Even knowing he is likely mentally-ill and/or brain-damaged. I'm also not going through a list of random crimes and how they might impact my vote. Too many variables.

Even if he did put a gun to his exes head many years ago, it doesn't make him unfit for office. And I don't think he was ever prosecuted for that, either.

I don't care about Walker's cognitive problems. The fact of the matter is that he's an atrocious human being... which is exactly what you and the rest of the GQP find appealing about him. It's a bully-worshiping cult.

 

[Mike!]

Can you name one action of Raphael Warnock that you'd like to proffer as being worse than holding a gun to a woman's head and threatening to kill her? Did he campaign on a platform of putting hard-core porn in the children's sections of all Georgia public libraries? Maybe he boils babies to render their precious adrenochrome? Come on, Warp. Let's hear what's worse than threatening to murder your wife and her family members.

There's at least one thing still worse, and that'd be following through with it.
BUT, that's about the only thing that could be worse, that I can think of.
No wait, I've got a worse one still. Raping them, then killing them. That'd be worse still.
How about that, W12?
Would THAT be enough to at least NOT vote for him?

On the contrary... they'd nominate him for the presidency.

 

[Foster Zygote]

Come on, now. I'm not going to derail this topic to talk about everything I hate about Dems. I've talked about it in many other topics. There are common reasons people vote conservative, you know. And they aren't secrets.

I it's not a derail because I'm specifically asking you to name something that Raphael Warnock has done that is worse than Walker putting a gun against his wife's head. You are simply too much of an intellectual coward to admit that you've once again painted yourself into a corner where you can't defend your shock jock comments.

I'm just telling you I would vote for Walker before any Dem. Even knowing he is likely mentally-ill and/or brain-damaged. I'm also not going through a list of random crimes and how they might impact my vote. Too many variables.

I'm not asking for random hypothetical crimes, I'm asking for specific examples of things that Warnock has actually done that are worse than putting a gun to a woman's head and threatening to kill her. If you can't do that, it tells us all we need to know about the irrationality of your position.

Even if he did put a gun to his exes head many years ago, it doesn't make him unfit for office. And I don't think he was ever prosecuted for that, either.

He admitted it. His lack of prosecution doesn't mitigate his actions.

I've already covered why I refuse to vote for any Dem, and why I feel that being mentally-ill is preferable to that condition. Nothing further to say on the matter, really.

 

[Warp12]

He made a nonspecific admission of violence and mental illness, as best I can tell.

But it doesn't matter either way, to me. Clearly many voters felt the same way.

[Stacyhs]

One can read the idiotic reasoning given for voting for nutjobs over competent people in this very thread. I take heart in the fact that MTG only won with 75% of the vote when she ran unopposed, and that dropped to 60-something% when she actually had an opponent this time. I live in her district. Large swaths are rural, poor, white, and uneducated. Even with a black guy as her opponent, Large Marge lost double digit votes this time.

My condolences.

 

[Stacyhs]

It sorta seems to me that Georgia voters who thinks that way about Democrats, without being able to provide any evidence of the "depraved" things they do/support (like passing around sex toys and lube in school classrooms, or other things involving teachers or other public institutions) are just proving that they are completely irrational, and that their hatred of Democrats says more about their own simple-minded credulity than it does about the Democratic party. If you say, "That guy hates his neighbor so much that he willingly **** his own pants rather than ask to use his toilet", my first thought isn't going to be "Wow! His neighbor must be the worst guy ever!".

The alternative is that **** sandwiches get on the ballot and get elected because no one really knows who they are, and the Republican party has turned into such a cult that uninformed voters just vote for any name followed by an 'R'.

Well said.

 

[Stacyhs]

Literally the definition of blaming someone else for problems of your own making. So much for the "Party of Personal Responsibility".

This is like a quote from the "Guys Who Beat Their Wives" playbook.

"Look at the choice you made me make! Why do you do this to me?!"

Unbelievable, innit? Not only the "Party of Personal Responsibility", but someone who repeatedly banged that drum when it comes to abortion rights.

 

[Stacyhs]

That's the goal. It's hard to get reactions anymore considering the other things that have been posted. Gotta keep raising the bar to keep getting people to respond.

I think there's a name for something that fits that description.

 

[mgidm86]

Wow! I've seen some incredibly stupid arguments on this forum, but that one is just ******* sickening to boot.

So, what, specifically has Raphael Warnock done that you rank as worse than holding a gun to a woman's head?

Is there any limit to your totally rational (and not at all histrionically attention seeking) hatred for Democrats? What if a Republican candidate had sexually assaulted a woman?

I actually think holding a gun to a woman's head is worse than sexual assault (debatable sure) and we already know Walker did that. So yes, he would vote for that man and so did thousands of other screwballs.

Dude, the Dems...I mean Biden ******* stutters, and AOC is radical and um....******* Clinton death count and Hunter Peacock man chair camera!!!!! Duh!!!

 

[plague311]

you've once again painted yourself into a corner where you can't defend your shock jock comments.

And this is a huge problem for the GOP now, and that's why we keep seeing them inch further and further to the right. The right has said such asinine, ridiculous things over the past 7 years that in order to keep getting attention, and to get noticed in the right-wing circle, they have to say dumber, and dumber ****.

Here we are debating with a known Republican contrarian that cheered the death of George Floyd, openly and gladly. Warp12 repeatedly brought up that Floyd had held a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach, a crime that was long in Floyd's past too, as a justification for his death.

Yet, here he is whistling a completely different tune. It's an exact reflection of GOP voters in Georgia. They don't have to be consistent, they don't have to use fact or reason, they can do and say anything as long as they are trying to insult a liberal\dem in the process. That's the only requirement.

 

[bruto]

I think there's a fundamental difference between even the relative extremes here, that echoes the fundamental difference between a right to do something and a law against it. Permissiveness and repression are not two sides of the same coin.

On one side, people like me would be running things, and people like Marjorie Taylor Greene would be an active, raucous minority. On the other side, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene would be running things, and people like me would be suppressed, silenced, and (if that particular person had her way) killed.

Of course I've cited a radical example, but it's really no joke. There really is a fundamental difference in how one envisions and defines a free society.

You forgot, AOC wore a gown to the Met Gala that said "Tax the Rich". That's radical, man.

Oh yeah, and there was something about getting a free ticket then sporting a political message or something ... that's corruption at its core.

I agree. One of the MAGA crowd's problems is that they treat everything as a zero-sum game. If somebody wins, somebody else loses, preferably 10 times as badly.

 

[wareyin]

And if they can make sure the other guy loses everything, then they count that as a win for themselves even if they suffer almost as badly. In fact it's better for them to lose almost everything provided the other guys suffers worse than it is for both to actually gain!

There's a quote that turned up online a while ago, apparently from someone called Davis X. Machina.

“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.”

This is too good and true not to steal for my signature! Thanks!
