[MD] S/O and Morality

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Arlo had said]
Another fine example of the moronic rhetoric this thread began by condemning.

[Platt]
Same to you, pal.

[Arlo]
Except I am not the one engaging in distortive rhetoric. But anyone 
who can read can see that. Your "Pee Wee Maneuver" here is without merit.

[Arlo had said]
Your rhetorical association between "nationalistic 
blindness" and "national defense", as if the two are merely two 
viewpoints on one approach, is not only outrageous, but when said in 
response to everything I had written shows only the blatant 
distortion wielded by those who attempt to use social-level 
talk-radio rhetoric to attack and break down any reasonable dialogue.

[Platt]
A moronic assertion.

[Arlo]
Any one who can read, and who has seen your last few responses, can 
see that this is a valid assertion. Any one just joining can easily 
check the past few posts.

[Platt]
If you have no national pride, why defend yourself?

[Arlo]
And as if on cue you toss out yet another moronic response. Can you 
point out where I said ANYTHING about having "national pride", let 
alone implying it is a "bad thing"? This is the type of idiotic, 
distortive, moronic rhetoric that is morally called for what it is.

[Arlo had said]
We can take great pride in our defeat of Hitler, but until we 
recognize and admit that Henry Ford is emblematic of the historical 
foundation that created Hitler's power in the first place our victory 
is only partial.

[Platt]
What nonsense. Now Hitler's rise was our fault. And I suppose we 
deserved to get hit by Islamic radicals.  Speaking of morons . . .

[Arlo]
And a final example of the extreme moronic crap that comes from 
talk-radio discourse. Yes, I am speaking of morons, Platt, and your 
rhetoric evidences what you are.

Not only did I never say Hitler's rise was "our fault", but your 
baseless and evil claim that "Arlo thinks we deserve to get hit by 
Islamic radicals" demonstrates the EXACT kind of stupid discourse 
that we must rebel against.

And if you think that Henry Fords receiving of the top Nazi honor for 
his support of Hitler had NOTHING to do with Hitler's rise to power, 
and was not emblamatic of the stage that many nations and individuals 
outside Germany helped create, then you are worse than a blind fool. 
You could start by reading William Shirer's award winning The Rise 
and Falll of the Third Reich to gain a better understanding of the 
international decisions and attitudes that led to the Reich, the 
foundations and backdrop that was cast that not only enabled a Hitler 
to rise to power, but like Henry Ford, but promoted it. But, hey, why 
let a little thing like history get in the way...
