You "exploded" nothing, at least as far as real refutation is concerned, i.e. bringing evidence that counters mine. It doesn't really count to make a long speech on a completely different tack, or to toss in insults.
You compared Cain to Stalin. I responded by pointing out that Stalin had a lot more in common with certain other people and groups than he had with Cain.
You dropped "uncompassionate" into the mix. I reminded you what liberal "compassion" in politics always means.
Then I said that Cain's opinion of these people was basically correct, and that the evidence backed me up. I haven't pulled in a tenth of the examples I could - it would be beating a dead horse. Nobody has presented any real counterevidence. Attempts here to try and paint the Tea Party rallies as more violent or disruptive have died on the vine. Hell, Paul Krugman even tried to pull that one today.
What did I get back? Paragraph one, which incorrectly states that the reason I dislike Al Gore is because of his personality, not his principles or political beliefs. I'm not even sure he has a personality. (Not sure where the hell Warren Buffett comes into it. It's not like his picture is next to the dictionary definition of "bombastic.")
Then, for some reason, two paragraphs about some of the worst murdering thugs in history, who made their nations hellholes, and how their "job" was "revolutionary." Then something about how they were selfless and not in it for the power, which is probably the largest pile of crap seen on this planet since certain prehistoric species went extinct. I'm sure you didn't mean to imply that somehow their motivations were superior to those of people who build companies that sell things people want, and create wealth instead of annihilate it, but it had that ring to it.
Then a paragraph on how the "occupiers" and Tea Parties are pretty much the same. No, they aren't. The demographics are different, their views are different, their ideologies are radically different, and most important, their solutions on how to make things better are diametrically opposed. It's like saying a Fourth of July parade and a Soviet May Day parade are the same thing because they're both marching down a street.
We'll leave the smug, superior tone of the last paragraph alone. I cut you a lot of slack in that department.
