A goddamn waste of my powder

In the comments section of “Warthogs Attack Barack Obama” notorious warthog celtictexan posted the following:

If Malcolm X's discovery toward the end of his life, that some whites might live beside him as brothers in Islam, seemed to offer some hope of eventual reconciliation, that hope appeared in a distant future, in a far-off land. In the meantime, I looked to see where the people would come from who were willing to work toward this future (Islam) and populate this new world.(A muslim world in the US)

His own words.

If posted verbatim as celtictexan claims in “His own words”, this makes celtictexan a liar, as what Barack Obama wrote is as follows:

“If Malcolm X's discovery toward the end of his life, that some whites might live beside him as brothers in Islam, seemed to offer some hope of eventual reconciliation, that hope appeared in a distant future, in a far-off land. In the meantime, I looked to see where the people would come from who were willing to work toward this future and populate this new world.”
There are no parenthetical remarks in the original. If someone intended to "clarify" or as is obvious, add their own commentary, brackets should have been used (not to mention “Muslim” would have been capitalized), making it clear whoever altered the quotation is an uneducated buttocks in addition to being a liar.

A plain reading of Obama’s quote indicates only that Malcolm X (having seen the example of whites and blacks together in Mecca and overcoming his own racism) could imagine the reconciliation of whites and blacks in America at some future time. It is not evident that this reconciliation must be under Islam.

While CT may be an uneducated buttocks and liar, I will allow that he is skilled at taking quotations out of context, misreading quotations, and interpreting them through the lens of his narrow-minded, racist, bigoted prejudices. I must also allow from past experience that he is completely impervious to rational argument; that is, there is no evidence, fact or logic capable of persuading him to alter his asinine views.

It is possible for people to be wrong. But to persist in being wrong, to remain obstinately, resolutely, pigheadedly wrong in the face of overwhelmingly contrary evidence, to ignore such evidence or perversely warp it to fit your grotesque beliefs, to constantly bring back ever more convoluted variants of disproved views as “new” arguments, simply demonstrates that celtictexan is little more than a remarkably stupid, astoundingly muttonheaded, extraordinarily dimwitted, unfathomably numbnutted, spectacularly nincompoopered, detestably revolting bag of churning pig manure.

The only thing that may ever get through his incredibly thick skull to his fly speck brain is an ACME anvil dropped off a ten story building, and then it may only sound as a distant, muffled “ka-boink” as it bounces off.

I therefore have no politically correct reservations about calling a racist bigoted dipshit a racist bigoted dipshit. Celtictexan is a festering pustule on an inflamed abscess on a malignant polyp on the prolapsed rectum of right-wing ignorance, and will always be a festering pustule on an inflamed abscess on a malignant polyp on the prolapsed rectum of right-wing ignorance.

Now, if you know what’s good for you celtictexan, you’ll go back to fellatiling your poodle or I shall begin to taunt you with insults.
