I'm still mad at the Onion for cutting the opinions by 50%. What, they couldn't come up with three more witty statements per week?

The important thing is that a troll resurrected, however briefly, to taunt Joph.

Yeah, I'm pleased that a thread from 2007 stayed with someone's psyche that, eight years later, they'd come back to talk to me about it. I guarantee you that I have no clue what this guy was saying eight years ago.

My best guess is that it was something to do with the Armenian Genocide.

Had to do with Obama's promise to call the Armenian Genocide a genocide, which he broke and which Jophiel was savaging Bush about while expecting Obama to do so with stars in eyes. Or some kind of definitive election difference. If clue is sought, just click once to read and laugh at Jophiel's partisan and disingenuous OP. Which uses millions of victims for political points. Never a real principle behind it.

From Joph's first post: "Bush has been asking the House not to pass the bill. Or for it to even come before the full House. Not because Bush disagrees with it but because he fears that Turkey will retaliate since the Turkish government is very opposed to being told by the US that it was, indeed, a genocide." And oh isn't Bush so bad that I need to create a thread about this!

Hell, Obama promised to not even need a bill requiring him to call it a genocide. He promised he would in plain speech. He LIED!!! Shame! Where's the similar thread about this made by Jophiel? Oh wow, it doesn't exist, since it was only important when a GOP denied genocide. Armenian Genocide recognition--conveniently forgotten.

Quote:
"President Obama's surrender to Turkey represents a national disgrace — it is, very simply, a betrayal of truth, a betrayal of trust," said Ken Hachikian, chairman of Armenian National Committee of America.


Sorry that my psyche includes many of my ancestors being massacred by Turks! How inconvenient to political narrative and promises and realpolitik. Let's not talk about this (well, until the next GOP president--then we can make a new thread about how he refuses to recognize the Genocide and be oh-so-caring-about-massacred-Armenians anew).

I'm pretty confident that I never once said "Vote for Obama because he promises to call it a genocide!". My remarks in this thread were more about the push and pull of the executive and legislative branches and how the bill had come up many times under both Democratic and Republican House Speakers and how both Democratic and Republican presidents have asked Congress not to pass the bill due to diplomatic considerations.

However, I think it's fantastic that you were still upset enough about a thread from eight years to have it gnawing at your soul and need to come back here to post a gotcha years after the fact.

Here's my "savaging Bush" for not wanting the bill to pass from the first page of the thread:
Long ago, I once wrote:
Myself, I think that the intent of the bill is a good one although I question the timing and think this probably isn't the best time for it. On the other hand, I don't believe that consequences would be as dire as Bush foretells. It's a shame that we have to set aside doing the "right thing" for practical concerns but I suppose that's politics for you.

Whoah-Ho! I'm surprised no one marched on Washington and tore it to the ground with that sort of incendiary rhetoric from me. Damn, I bet I'm on a watch list or something. Smiley: laugh

Page two of this thread is even better. I mention again that I voted against pressing the issue and our little friend responds with:
Palpitus wrote:
As I agree with the post you posted after the post I replied to in this post I'll just split and simmer somewhere else.

So he split, simmered elsewhere for eight years, then came back at a full boil to rant about stuff I never agreed with in the first place and demanding to know why I'm not savaging Obama as I did Bush Smiley: facepalm

I must have an interesting effect on people.
