The Wall Of Shame
Thought I'd open this little thread so we'd have a place to post the names of people who don't conform to the thought of the Obama echo chamber.
There are still a couple of non-conformists here, and I think we need to keep close tabs on them.
Once we get the list together we can go see Josh and see if there is some way to get these dissenting voices squelched.

Well, of course you have Marginal Player, gotalife, and Matthew Weaver. However, the most insidious dissenters are another_reader, kensdad, and airwon. I occasionally find myself agreeing with them on certain issues, but I know it's just a ploy on their part to try to turn me. I'm on to them though!
(I apologize in advance to any I've left out of either group.)

Speaking of errors of omission, I forgot to include you in that list! Your Jedi mind tricks aren't going to work on me. (At least not for long.)

Don't forget RaeK. And Desidero posted a farewell message, but has still been posting in comments.
Does the echo chamber take a position on whether one should vote for Hillary in the unlikely event she steals the nomination?

The echo chamber refuses to acknowledge such a possibility. Have you been neglecting your kool-aid, Comrade Rabbit?

I beg to differ. In the echo chamber one is required to hold the beliefs that Obama cannot lose, and that Hillary cannot win. But the Hillary Is Pure Evil doctrine leads to the conclusion that while Hillary cannot win, there is a danger that she will steal the nomination. Some see a contradiction in this, but we must be patient with them because their faith is weak.
Also, should workerbee be on the list of non-conformists? She's usually fairly reasonable and even nice, so I hesitate to put her name anywhere near the likes of goatlife and some of the others.

Oh, definitely on the list. The reasonable ones are the worst kind! It's easy to dismiss the unreasonable ones.

John Van Hamersveld once told me that I have my own window on the world, thank you, and I LIKE it that way.

Billy is an amusing ass. But an ass.
I do not understand why he must always be so putridly condescending.

You had me at "putridly."

I'd say LOL, but it's so very droll and last week.

She's on a roll. Did you see today that she told Bill to STFU?

Oh, oh, oh. I want to be a non-conformist, too! (Oh wait, I guess I already am. Thanks, Billy.)

I knew a bunch of you would be over here trying to put your own names up on this wall. That is not in order. Please move aside so that real echo chamber members can get to the wall.

Fuck off, Billy.

You sound stressed.

So then it becomes a question of whether or not your name on the wall becomes a source of shame or pride, because I'll warn ya, these things can go either way.

I dunno. Feels like an echo chamber in here too...
I'll just move on to the next room.

Satan has become an embarrassment to our progressive views.
Have you tried a psychiatrist or a priest?
Don't you understand... that I was face to face with the Evil that's inside her. Your machine has proved scientifically that there's an ancient demon locked within her! It's preventing her from reaching full spiritual power! Don't hide behind science! You're better then that! You realize what you're up against, don't you? Evil. Evil is a spiritual being, alive and living, perverted and perverting, weaving its way insidiously into the very fabric of life.
It burns, it burns.....

Done (we don't need no stinkin' lists). Non-conformists relegated to the back of the bus. Just squeaking chihuahuas nipping at the feet of the Obama monster. Recommendations consigned to self-flagellating satires like “wall of shame” lists :)
