MrSmith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Never thought I'd see the day you describing yourself most eloquently. Well done you. You could have at least inserted 'arrogant' in that description. Your opinion differs from the opinions of the majority on here, it's you who is out on a limb. So, by your own definition you are a bigot. We await you arrogant and obstinate reply. Your post demonstrates some intolerance towards me because of my opinion so by definition you are a bigot.

MrSmith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Still to come - watch with bated breath as the extraordinary Mr Smith ties himself in ever more complicated and vexatious knots trying and failing to understand what bigoted means... I fully understand thanks, and the fact you think I'm annoying you, demonstrates some intolerance towards me because of my opinion, so by definition you are a bigot.

llamatron Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 So if Cleggy is not a bigot for calling people bigots who are not in fact bigots, I suppose it just makes him an idiot. nope it makes people accusing him of saying/thinking the word bigot (when he clearly said no such thing) idiots.

Closet Guy. Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 This is what he said in extracts of a speech which were issued to the media. He then backtracked and withdrew the "bigot" remark. Was he right in his original remarks or was he correct in withdrawing them? Hes an idiot! And a smug git too but mainly an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 He, Nick Clegg, you know, the person the entire thread is about. You asked me that in post 128 and I answered it in post 132. I incorrectly assumed he wanted to change the law to make it unlawful for a church to refuse to marry a same sex couple; I have since read a little more about what he actually said and have changed my opinion on him. I agree it wasn’t worded in a way that reflected what I thought, I make these errors occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
