90% of the time Assman posts in a political thread, it's to commit some kind of false equivocation. The underlying message is "You are all partisan hacks. By finding something to criticize on the other side of the aisle, and pretending they're equal, I show you that I am above the fray and better informed."

Except it's hard to pull off when you repeatedly expose your own ignorance. Exhibit A, Exhibit B.

Spending two paragraphs on him, like Macam did, only means you were successfully trolled by a low-level poster. Don't bother.
