If he wanted an open and honest discussion, then perhaps he should've left out his faux outrage over 'open borders' at the door?  Just a thought.  You know, instead of letting him frame the conversation in such a way that frames those who disagree with him in a certain way.

It seems to me he never wanted a discussion over immigration, just another chance to attack those who he disagrees with.  This has emerged as a pattern with him.

I don’t have much experience interacting with OLB, so I’m trying to be fair and give him the benefit of the doubt rather than jump on a bandwagon.

RE: Open borders
I’m not from TTA, and I do have experience interacting with OLB, but who cares, he just flat out told us the point of this thread in his own words was to make assholes squirm.

He’s a nice guy, I’m sure he’s very fine peopke, on both sides ( couldn’t help it). He just has a common blind spot on this issue, common to a significant number of Americans.

When someone attempts to frame discussion in a way that creates strawmen, I'm not sure they deserve the benefit of the doubt. 

When OLB asked "What should they do"

My response was "Not run concentration camps"

What was his response in turn?

Uh huh..


Where are you going to keep all the unprocessed immigrants? 

You going to let them have your place?

It's clear that on the issue of immigration, OLB is not interested in an honest discussion.  He only wants to frame people in as negative light as possible.  I will not be an enabler of that.

^^^^^^^ SO MUCH THIS......

He's simply another person who has bought the politics of fear, and he doesn't simply do that with this topic.

I agree.

RE: Open borders
You’ve been given at least two very direct answers to your completely dishonest question, man.

There’s only so much bitching you can do about others not addressing your q before it becomes an even more transparent farce.

Another poster didn’t humor you -at all/ and flat out told you that we didn’t actually have to choose between hunting down brown people and open borders.

So you have options as to what you decide to respond to.

Quote: No.  A couple people from TTA who had issues with OLB

Issues like him being a lying asshole 


Quote:brought that here and painted their picture of OLB from the start.
 Nope brought the fact he's a disingenuous asshole 


Quote:The pattern is more with those who jump in any time he posts and have a fit.
Nah it's more he posts dishonest shit and based on our experience with him we call him out on it . Then he has a fit for being called out .


Quote:  If he posted that the sky is blue this little posse would argue it till their typing fingers bled.
Nope he would say the sky is green then whine endlessly when we call him out on it .And by posse you mean people who won't put up with his bullshit .
