I call it...

Scandi Crush Saga.

I recently postulated that conservatives will resort to trying to get others to call them racist when they realize their own argument has disintegrated. This slightly reinvigorated one on their quest to claim that the race card is played anytime someone criticizes President Barack "Lawnchair" Obama. I then challenged them to provide an example where such a defense was actually used in politics, or even used at all here on slashdot.

Certainly, if it was as common of a tactic as they claim it should be trivial for the to produce tons of examples. And coming up with just one should be far easier than a cake walk. So how many could they come up with?

Not one.

That's right, not a single, solitary example. At one point they gave a link to a comedy central (daily show) clip that did not help the claim. Earlier a highly partisan collection of sound bites was quoted as well.

Not very impressive. Of course we don't really pull in the most accomplished conservative journalists here on slashdot, so there may be actual examples out there somewhere in the world. we just likely will never see them here.

Abstract

Objectives:
To determine whether parachutes are effective in preventing major trauma related to gravitational challenge.

Design:
Systematic review of randomised controlled trials.

Data sources:
Medline, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases; appropriate internet sites and citation lists.

Study selection:
Studies showing the effects of using a parachute during free fall.

Main outcome measure:
Death or major trauma, defined as an injury severity score > 15.

Results:
We were unable to identify any randomised controlled trials of parachute intervention.

It is now completely legal, for the rich to buy any government they like, in America.

In his majority opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts said that the limits, "do little, if anything, to address that concern, while seriously restricting participation in the democratic process."

Where "democracy" is equated with "expendable surplus wealth".

Well, the veil is off this bitch now.

CORPORATION==PERSON
DOLLAR==SPEECH
WEALTH==LIBERTY

This isn't really a corollary, though it's not far from being one. Godwin's Law of course states that given enough time any discussion on the internet will turn to talking about Hitler (or Nazis).

I've realized a while ago that American conservatives have their own "sequel" to Godwin's Law, and it goes something like this

Given a long enough discussion of politics with a conservative, they will try to get you to call them racist to end the discussion

It is somewhat the inverse of "race baiting", perhaps best called "racist baiting". I think we can call it the "Nobama Hypothesis" as I suspect many of the people who go for this play have the oh-so-clever "Nobama" bumper sticker on their car (likely often the variety with the hammer & sickle for an "O", and likely not far from their terrorist hunting permit).

So tell me, then. Obviously someone is to blame here. I just don't know what the official slashdot narrative says in this case - do we blame Bill Clinton or Barack Obama for this one? Monica Lewinski, or Benghazi?

But apparently, we have some slashdot apologists running around with mod points. Does that count against their unemployment benefits?

Recently, an Anonymous Coward (but I have a couple of guesses as to who really wrote it) accused me of being racist because I am pro-life.

The AC's argument was: You say you want to ban abortion, but what you really want is to ban abortion except for the type that rich white people can afford, therefore, you're a racist.

The logical leaps in this argument are almost breathtaking in their stupidity. I'd be surprised, but I've had this account for probably a decade now and as such liberal stupidity is, quite frankly, nothing new.

Here's some pseudocode that explains my position on abortion:

bool MayHaveAnAbortion (Mother m)
{
if (m.LifeAtRisk() == true)
{
return true;
}
else
return false;
}

Please note, dear liberals, that in this example there is no consideration for race, socio-economic status, or any other victim groups that you like to place people in.

(Yes, I am aware that the method could simply be "return m.IsLifeAtRisk()" but let's face it, the liberals around here aren't smart enough to handle that and would only get confused.)

So to sum up: Yes, I am absolutely opposed to all forms of abortion for all women except in cases where the life of the mother is at risk.

Furthermore, the logical errors required to somehow twist that into calling me a racist are exceptional in their stupidity, and proves (yet again) the intellectual dishonesty of the "progressive" movement -- showing the "progressive" movement to be nothing more than a secular humanistic death cult.

Calling it today, for Bush 3.0

And... Summoned the old ones!

I was completely unsurprised to see people here jump all over a recent front page story as an excuse to bash Ford - even though most of what they said was at least tangential to reality, if not completely opposing it.

But when some idiot felt it useful to bring up the Pinto, I decided to respond:

To worry about Governments as the ACTOR in world events is like believing the Police are an independent force, manifesting their own will and policy.

An indirect point, not made in the article: Had the British East India Company not destroyed the balance of its tyrannical Bengali trade concession, there would have likely been no American revolution. The continent would likely have gone on the Canada model.
