A MAJOR LEFTIST MEDIA ASSHOLE DOES THE COUNTRY A FAVOR

[FavreChild]

I've been irritated with your good guy-bad guy/our side vs. their side for a while now

Polarization is a classic propaganda strategy, and it holds no validity. Of course, propaganda is fine when "normal good American" radicals like him use it. They have to put "us" in our place, you know.

Propaganda only works if someone believes it. He wants people to discuss issues with him but how can you respect him enough to discuss issues with him when he posts such absolute shit? And anyone who knows me knows the futility of trying to "put me in my place."

And Ty, this is not the time.

Dude, I can't even think of a possible response that is fitting.

I have typed 3 paragraphs and deleted them cuz I just can't think of anything I can say that will make you get it.

I'll just settle for dude, wtf is going on in your head?

I know; I don't even bother engaging him. He has no interest in genuine debate. No willingness to make concessions. No ability to try to see things from a different side. His viewpoints aren't always wrong (although I personally disagree with him almost always), but the way he argues them is. (Oh, and by the way, I also have just a little bit of expertise in propaganda use and analysis.)

But anyway....we agree. (And so does everyone else, apparently.)

I'm sure there is a thread about the perfect male or basements full of shit that is more deserving of my attention...

Why? That time of the month?

Bobble,

You are new here..and maybe you didn't see his posts like this on JS.

Now, perhaps you understand why I have asked you about why you don't question his civility. Those of us in the know, knew it was only a matter of time before something like this would be posted.

I know you don't align yourself with tex completely, but maybe now you'll understand why i have repeatedly questioned any alignment with him.

You and your positions are done a disservice by even being associated with him.

Ty, I have always called him out. You just don't want to acknowledge that. I may not have done it in the same way I do #1PF when I am trying to get him to make a point, but I have refuted tex more often than I have you, and you are just as deserving of it, you just fail to see it.

YOU have associated me with him, and that is exactly why I say you don't see it. Economically he is correct for the most part. Socially he has been wrong for the most part. If you are associating me with him because he is right sometimes shame on you. He probably associates me with you because I agreed with you about blackwater, and if he does shame on him.

Bobble,

You haven't called him out for his ATTITUDE. THat is the crux of the matter and all i was talking about.

YOu made your point about racists and conservs...my point would be that if you hang with tex or appear to..that what you say gets dismissed or mitigated by him...same for a lib with tank. Sorry...prolly isn't fair, but life isn't fair, and you can only expect so much from people.

Econ: Econ is not a science..so to say anybody is correct is...well, a bit tenuous.

Me: I don't hate anybody. I don't call people america haters, etc. You may not like my humor, but it is only meant to be funny or illuminate a point. At the end of the day, i could have a beer with just about anybody on this forum (not saying the would want to have a beer with me)..except that doesn't apply for Tex..because he truly does hate people.

ONe of my best friends is very far on the right..constantly would tell me how Buchanon would be the best prez..yet, i can maintain a friendship with him. And, he doesn't view me as someone who should be exterminated or deported...all positions tex has taken.

Tex couldn't do that..or even want to.

[bobblehead]

Tex is very wrong in his rhetoric, especially where people being harmed is concerned. If I haven't said that plainly before, I apologize, I hope I have been clear enough about it here.

I guess I'm guilty of some things. If he makes a point I disagree with and calls the left names I don't feel offended because I'm not the left, I simply go about refuting his point factually.

If the left makes a point and "attacks" me I'm gonna be quick to feel offended, point it out, and then go about refuting the point. Perhaps my not defending you guys makes you lump me with him...I don't think that is fair, but I can see your point.

As far as economics go, you were the one saying it was math in a different thread, and it is. Its the way we define the parameters that make it an "art", but some things are still irrefuteable, such as overbearing tax burden and regulation harm the economic progression. Same as global warming is a mathematical model, but how you put in the parameters can change the outcomes. (also, guessing at the equations can change things in both cases).

I don't think you are a hater. I do think you are just as arrogant as I am. We both hate admitting when we are wrong (which is worse for you, since I'm mostly right )

I too have friends who are far left, and they are good people, as was russert. Tex has a problem where he equates all leftists with the very few who are basically nothing more than the lefts version of David Duke types. That is just as wrong as equating conservatives as rascists. Hope you understand that Tex.

I also have realized that where I am motivated to post on forums like this to hopefully make people understand what good policy might be, and inspire them to research issues and vote out the politicians I call pigs, Tex is here to rant and blow off steam.

Anyway, we have both given this thread more ink than it deserves.

Tex belongs in the....

for this post

I'll drink to that.



it takes one sick son-of-a-bitch to applaud someone else's death.

Again. Who the fuck cares? I'm sure if I were dead and conscious of it, I would be highly entertained by someone celebrating my death. He's dead. Get over it.

Tex,

Your original post of this thread is just reprehensible. Though Russert was a Democrat, he did his best to be as objective as possible.

As an interviewer, he was noted for being a dogged interviewer for people who were not being honest with their answers, be they conservatives or progressives.

As PIP stated, Russert was indeed a gentlemen. He wrote a touching story about he and his aging father. It was entitled "Me and Big Russ" or "Big Russ and Me"(I can't remember which).

It is obvious you did not like his political leanings. Maybe you should go and re-read the First Amendment to calm yourself down.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Pretty classless thread.

[texaspackerbacker]

Well, I thank you all for proving my point.

The fact that an America-hating scumbag like Russert has such a following among supposed moderates displays the subtle effectiveness of his sick kind.

The crap spewed by him and the rest of the sickly anti-American mainstream media has made possible the rotten Congressional majority we have and the ridiculously anti-American Dem/lib candidate we are in danger of being saddled with. And so many even beyond the obvious loons of the left won't even acknowledge the media bias.

Maybe I'm wrong to be so blatant in spelling out how bad the guy was when his damn corpse isn't even in the ground, but I ask you, what kind of crap do you think would our idiot leftists be spewing if it was Limbaugh or Bush who died? And even THAT would not be an example of the moral equivalence the left incessantly rants about, because unlike asshole Russert, those guys love America and have moved it in a positive direction.

Oregon, he did his best to SEEM as objective as possible. And therein lies the reason why he was so dangerous and harmful to the country. And if you don't believe that, just read through these posts at how many people not nearly as liberal as you who THOUGHT he was something other than the total America-hating leftist scumbag that he was.

If Hitler had written a "touching story about HIS father" would you mourn his death?

The First Amendment is exactly what I'm putting to good use--while a bunch of others--including many in the forum and out who would probably be called conservative and pro-American are acting like damn politicians. Well, I'm not running for anything. I'm telling it like it is--expressing my disgust for somebody that has done so much to harm my/our country.
