Clearly, the correct way to protest is at home, quietly, where no one can be inconvienced or offended by said protest.

Yes...and no. To be fair, propaganda as Wikipedia describes it: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda By that definition, just about everything is propaganda, but that's as useful as the definition of 'documented' being 'someone wrote it down' - not very. It's the sort of definition that...

Right? 'Us'? Snark is more fun and less dangerous than the propaganda you peddle, so I remain ahead. Propaganda Site A giving props to Propaganda Site B?! You don't say! It would be, if it were true. But like much of what you believe, it is not. Is it close-minded to reject someone who...

My dear Supa, that was the whole point. What else do Breitbart, FrontPageMag, and oh, let's not forget, Townhall, have if not these narratives to peddle? What else is BeatMan implying with these posts? Credit to BC where credit is due: Someone wrote it down, so his claim about SPLC...

And yet... :1orglaugh You should probably broaden your horizons beyond the barrel sometime. But then, you'd be a different person. Documented, you say? Do tell! Where do I find this documentation?

Indeed! I recognize you don't think so, as to do so would start a chain leading to accept that your whole worldview sits on a bedrock of propaganda. I didn't label you a propaganda puppet because it's cute - it's because it's true. I also recognize I won't convince you of that, and I don't need...

FrontPageMag, Breitbart - Stormfront next? InfoWars? Maybe the latter is more MP's territory... Yep. A pattern of nonsense posts from propaganda rags.

I'm betting this is a facetious question not necessarily meant for me, considering we both know the answer to this is yes.

I got a few newsletters from my state's SOS about this, though the conclusion is that the intrustion attempts were unsuccessful. Not sure they'd be telling us otherwise, but on the other hand, Oregon's system is pretty rock solid.

This is where I understood the article was BS. FrontPageMag is garbage. But you get a sense of how BeatMan comes to his warped worldview with the frequency he cites it (which is likely a fraction of how often he's reading it).

I'm pretty sure Brian Williams orgasmed on air.

Bad sign for the establishment Dems - I hope a lot worse of a sign than they think. Then again, 2016 was pretty fucking bad, and their heads only went farther up their asses. 100% agree on letting them retire. Though I don't think age is the biggest factor here (it definitely is, though)...

Nope. It's only a ***** example of Trump's village idiocy and not in itself terribly newsworthy, no. The part Mayhem pointed out was far more so. No it isn't. It's a deflection tactic when your position - and perspective - is ****. Choose better.

You're really embracing that whole what-about-ism, arentcha animus? Seeing as you posted not just once, but twice, without saying anything about our current POTUS being a village idiot, and seeing as how you, if I remember correctly, made a whole thread about bending the knee to him, we can...

In other words...no, nuclear energy isn't safe. It could be, but as we're seeing now in Texas with the incredible damage being done to the surrounding environments/populace from all the petrochemical companies getting away with environmental devastation in the **** of Harvey, as long as the...

Also rarely mentioned is the amount employers spend - an amount that could be going into employee's paychecks instead (it'll probably be just absorbed into profits instead, 'cause, you know, "trickle-down"). If nothing else, that'll make US companies more competitve abroad, and that's a...

It's very obvious Trump is a racist, and has been for some time. My take on him being a white supremacist is that one needs to care a lot more to go from racist to white supremacist - and I don't think Trump honestly cares enough to go that extra step. On the original topic, though it seems...

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/oct/02/reza-aslan/fact-checking-reza-aslans-retort-bill-maher/ Aslan goes on some stretches at times, but his central point of confusing causal with correlative variables is important.

politicalcompass.org writes quite a bit on this very issue. You're right - the word 'liberal' today doesn't mean much, as liberals of the past were on the right - when they started lumping in social libertarianism as 'left' (and conversely, social authoritarianism as 'right'), things get real...

Classic. :1orglaugh

Correction: According to today's American political spectrum, that makes you a pinko communist Marxist. But to be fair, that's because our spectrum as described by a few members here looks something like: Left |---------------|Center|--------------| Right <------------------Pinko commies^...

BeatMan loves himself FrontPageMag, which from everything I've looked at posted so far, is extreme-right-wing-batshittery. InfoWars, without conspiracies. Breitbart, without being dressed up as news (I guess; I've mostly only looked at what BeatMan's posted so far). The dude behind it, David...

I have 100% accuracy, according to some wordblog that exists somewhere online with at least as much, if not more, credibility than the wordblog Ace uses to inform his views on science. Well, ****. I was going to leave him hanging. Guess I'm glad I did, you put it better than I would have...

Bent that **** into an Escher cube. Internet couldn't handle it. I apologize for causing mp's state of mind.

You appear to be trying to make a point with this. I'd inquire further, but I imagine it's bullshit, so I'll leave it at that.

With ≈25% of the eligible vote and coming in second.

I could. But you can use the search as well as I can. I will, however, repeat the sentiment, and give this thread more than just passing snark. In short: That's a huge black mark on FDR's legacy. One can soften that with context, one can equivocate, but the bottom line is, that sucked. He yet...

Not a good start when the OP contains outright falsehoods. You know, that you can look up. On this forum. Like, with the search. But, nevermind. Let's go to your level: Fuck conservatives!

Nothing screams charisma like grabbing 'em by the pussy and moving on her like a bitch, amirite? Eh? *grunty chest thump*

If the story regarding Harris and Steven Mnuchin is accurate, we're not talking compromise, we're talking corruption. It looks really bad. ...but again, if the media and donors are lining up behind her, it's less about the dirt of the past and more about the business-as-usual of the future. And...

Harris checks a number of boxes, but she's also done some alarming things: https://theintercept.com/2017/01/05/kamala-harris-fails-to-explain-why-she-didnt-prosecute-steven-mnuchins-bank/...

Are we talking about the same thing? If you're talking about right-wingers shouting about voter fraud, I'm right there with you. But Kobach is in a particular position of power to make those shouts turn into real, dangerous actions - this I feel needs exposure.

Perhaps different media consumptions from my own differ on this, but I'm...anxious, let's say, that there isn't a lot more coverage of Kris Kobach. The damage this man can do if allowed can hurt our democracy more than anything else out of the Trump administration (save perhaps actual nuclear...

But I heard - in this very forum section! - that Limbaugh was an intellectual.

It's almost as if people are tired of the lesser of two evils. In other words: Become the actual party of the left, or stick with center-right, i.e., corporatism. The folks inside the party rich and fat off the latter will not let go easily. This is the silver lining of Trump's presidency. HR...

Yup. I'm starting to believe, however, that humans on average just aren't capable of sustained, educated engagement. Bread and circuses, and all that. The next best thing to an educated populace would be campaign finance reform. Buckley v. Valeo and its successors need to be overturned.

People do have different perspectives, it's true. Unfortuantely, conservatives often have to contend with reality's liberal bias and the silliness of the statement "Fox is fair and balanced". You're welcome to that perspective - even though it's empirically wrong...

Hmm. Trump's priorities sure are interesting... Ditto. It's ironic you should say that, as really no bending is required to **** on President Trump, but the depth of one's head up one's ass needed to continue supporting him requires backward bending any gymnist would be proud of. I wonder if...

To be fair, fascism is on the right, so anti-fascism is...well, at least left of fascism, more than likely. Anarchists (featured prominently in the article), however, aren't left or right ('left' and 'right' describe economic directions in government - anarchists don't believe in government)...

Conservative politics can't exist with empathy. The examples are numerous - Dick Cheney and gay marriage (against it, until it affected him), every red-state politician who voted against Sandy relief (against it, until now, when there's a hurricane up their asses), the Republican's whole women's...

Likewise, there are some on the right who would take objection to the black man saving the white ******** with or without any context. Keyword in both sentences: some. There are some on the left who embody every little strawman/hyperbole/ridiculous Youtube stereotype you can think of. Likewise...

He never existed. That was a pretty clear con from a mile away.

:dunno: 'K.

Oh, I'll bet it is a trend. Societies change. And?

Oh no, not quite. ...is both source and substance. You wanted something more specific? This article (which I did read, believe it or not) is the equivalent of those Youtube videos showing quick interviews on the street with X candidate's dumbest supporters. It's your morning dose of "them...

Well. Simple answers, I guess. Interesting piece - thanks for posting it. I agree with Miessler that the percentages of who is doing what and how many **** matters in a UBI scheme, although I imagine there would be much debate on what those percentages are, or what they in reality would be -...

There's a certain clarity when you distill this down. Indeed.

Congratulations, you have proven the claim "A young black thinks whites are pure evil and blame us for everything..." Meanwhile, I was asking about the claim that the "vast majority of young blacks think whites are pure evil and blame us for everything..."
