"Useful Idiots" - self regulate please. - Thoroughbred Horse Racing and Breeding Forums

Yes Whale, my pleasure! Wink

Traditionally associated with left-wing zealots, and particularly those supporting Communism, I particularly like this definition, and I know that Comrade CNNPT revels in it! LOL

In political jargon, a "useful idiot" is a derogatory term for a person perceived as a propagandist for a cause of whose goals they are not fully aware and who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause.

So let this be a safe space for you Whale, and all of CNNPT's other mini-mes - DON'T BE SHY, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! - to come and ask questions, make comments, offer opinions and thoughts, and generally say as you please, without fear of being answered and embarrassed by an intelligent person who might otherwise give a tinker's cuss. Big smile

In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

I thought that was only in the General thread.

Moving the goalposts now?

PT now your just being mischievous. We cant include the General Thread in the statistic's because there are too many "cheap" points to be scored - like Birthday Threads. Anyhow - the TBV Statistics Committee has already made this decision so please don't go on with it. Just move on for Christs sake.

and you would certainly know Wink

can't see why it is so hard to include General but exclude the birthday threads

Doc will be happy we are bumping this rubbish thread LOL

Settle Whale and have a good Xmas .

My sense of humour only makes a fool of me and harms no one.

If you don't see the above line as being from a mind of confusion then Your not as bright as I think you are. . ( I don't mean my mind either )

useful idiots.

isnt that what the unions rely on?

Are you an idiot if you want protection from exploitation from corporate predators with an allegiance only to shareholders, their bottom line and their personal bonuses that accompany that?

would be ok if the union heads put in with their"useful idiots" but they dont and live like the capitalists they abhor.

so, we have useful idiots and hypocrites LOL

pt where did i form MY opinion from/

personal experience, and let down.

of course unions have a place

but, AT TIMES unionists are as greedy, and dismissive as any capitalist!

This is hilarious LOL

This thread was clearly set up for CNNPT's sycophants to delude and confuse themselves without annoying others - you know, so rusty could try for a world record number of times he replied to his own post, and other important things like that ...

But CNNPT just can't help himself - he's posted in here more than any of them!!! Clap

Talk about irony.
The only posters that invoke the term useful idiots ( as a vehicle to insult others)are the very definition of the term.

There are none so blind as those who will not see....

Gone quiet in here.

Doc thought he was clever but nobody got the gag.

It turned out a premature pink blurt.
