A MAJOR LEFTIST MEDIA ASSHOLE DOES THE COUNTRY A FAVOR

[swede]

Now, all you leftists forgive me, this is directed at tex, not you.

First off, you gotta realize most of the very liberal left media actually believe that crap, they are brainwashed in school and by their surroundings. They are by and large very good people who happen to have bought swampland in florida. You should be feeling sorry for them, not hating them. You shoud do everything you can to point out why the long standing polocies of the left have failed over and over again, rescue them.

Bobblehead, WHY do you feel the need to APOLOGIZE for this? Either you believe what you say, or you don't. Are YOU a politician? Are YOU in a popularity contest? Do YOU beieve in the idiocy of political correctness?

As I said in the other thread, there's a helluva lot at stake here in terms of destroying our way of life. Whatever Russert's attitude or Obama's attitude or whatever, it's the RESULT of the horrendous SHIT they are pushing that counts--and in the case of Russert, the subtle ability to influence the electorate while having this bogus image of objectivity.

Unlike you, Bobblehead actually feels part of the community we have constructed here and although it is important for him to get his ideas across he probably enjoys and respects some of the "leftist" posters around here outside of the political spectrum threads. If he decides that his opinions are better and more important than anyone elses on this forum and railroads his opinions without regard to others position and feelings, then he loses his respect on this forum with others, and they tune him out, it is the way things work around here.

For some reason he understands how things work around here, too bad you don't because when you first showed up there were many happy to see you, unfortunately now they hold you in distain.

QFT


Tex, I am a conservative in favor of lower taxes, a strong national defense, smaller federal government, and judges that uphold the constitution and refrain from legislating.

Your lack of respect and compassion toward others, particularly in this thread, reinforce an ugly sterotype that makes my job harder.

If you're a Christian, please consider that disagreements, at certain points along the way, must be subordinated to more important responsibilities of charity and kindness.

Swede, you obviously are part of the solid majority in here that I tend to respect.

I think if you consider most of what I post, my record for "compassion" is pretty good. Just ask Bobblehead, who thinks I cross the line or at least blur the liberal/conservative line regarding spending (NOT taxing) to make sure we don't have poverty and deprivation in this country.

What I am about to say about America, American dominance, American Exceptionalism, etc.is probably preaching to the choir regarding you. Without America being on top--tearing us down and making us more like the rest of the world--as is the stated policy of Obama and others like him--would reduce American compassion and ability to save the world--as we have for nearly a century and continue to do from tyranny, poverty, depravity, and ignorance. If America goes down, the whole world suffers. THAT is the potential legacy of Obama and his kind, and THAT is what the subtle EVIL of Russert and his kind would bring.

So when I go off and rant about how rotten the guy was--as a member of and indeed one of the most effective members of that evil institution that is the left-saturated mainstream media, that is why I consider it justified--the harm he did and would have continued to do--INCLUDING the end of American dominance/compassion.

On a personal level, therefore, I had about as much compassion for Russert as I did for Saddam Hussein, etc/

This article about Tim Russert is one of the fairest and most objective I've read so far.

Rest in Peace Tim

I find it interest how so many conservatives label the media as "leftist" or "liberal" when so much of the media is actually controlled by the right.

Fox News is heavily slanted towards the right.

If you listen to talk radio, most of the hosts range from the conservative right to the radical right such as Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Mike Savage.

Whether he realizes it or not, I believe Texas does not advocate a democracy for America, he supports a totalitarian form of government where the political leaders control the media and where political dissent is squashed.

Yes, undoubtedly the media's corporate ownership is generally conservative. But the intellectual component, it seems to me, tends toward the left, despite some very notable exceptions. Another interesting thing about the Right's constant complaining about "msm" bias--the assumption that the average person is too stupid or too lazy and will inevitably be corrupted by it. When they're not saying that, they're complaining about "liberal elitism" :P

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

Interesting, and revealing.

GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU GERIATRIC PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!

there, i said it. we're all thinking it. but i won't hold back

go back to JSO, you've fucked this forum up enough. since you've shown up you've managed to take all the fun right out of this site and turned everyone against each other. hell, theres a lot of posters that barely even show face around here anymore

Why read or respond? If everyone hates this guy so much, why do they generate 8 pages of responses? It's just like TANK - everyone hates the guy, can't stand him, yet takes 10 pages of responses to explain how much they hate him and how much they hate responding to him. Stop reading and responding and the guy will stop posting. Don't you get it?

Your take on Fox is off. You must be a left leaning liberal to have that view of Fox. The rest of the media IS left leaning which includes much larger entities like the 3 TV networks, the rest of radio and their hourly news casts, NPR which you and I pay for ,the rest of cable news, (you mentioned one channel albeit the largest)every major newspaper, magazine (including SI)the USA today and ..where most outlets including internet home pages get their news...the wire services - AP and the like. Your math is fuzzy at best.

[mraynrand]

But I say again, I don't post silly crap to be popular. I tell it like it is, ESPECIALLY when the stakes are so high.

But the approach you take, using the type of language you use and displaying the naked hatred obviously results in everyone hating you and your approach. So, as an ambassador of the far right, how does that help your cause in any way? As a conservative, I can see that you do far more damage to the cause than any good you might do in pointing out things like bias in the media. Was Russert biased? Of course he was. Is that a reason to celebrate his death? I think not. It's one thing to be honest about his legacy and his bias (which existed, but wasn't nearly as acute as others in the media), and a whole other issue to celebrate someone's death - EVEN IF you think he was bad for the U.S. You like to meet and golf with soldiers returning from Iraq, Tex. I've heard many of these same guys tell me, in response to questions like "doesn't it frustrate you to hear Democrats say bad things about you, etc." that these folks are Americans too, and that they protect ALL Americans, even those with whom they disagree. I agree that the far left has done and is damaging America, but you're never going to get anyone to listen to you if you celebrate the death of a fellow American. You can dislike people, and disagree with them, without being spiteful and callous.

You base this on what?

Tank would not have stopped, and neither will Tex.

Reread Red's post - particularly the last line. People have indeed stopped responding to him. I have stopped engaging him in debate as well, because it is impossible to debate him on anything. He's right, we're wrong, case closed. No room for discussion. Many others have stopped debating him for this reason as well, but it won't change anything. A good political thread will always be poisoned by one of Tex's rants, whether Tex starts the thread or not. So, for those of us interested in this years election and wish to converse about it, Tex is impossible to avoid.

Thank you, mr. obtuse.

Econ, as bobble correctly pointed out has components of being an art. There is math..no doubt..but, grasping at exactly what is going on at an exact moment is highly subjective.

Right. The whole media is left leaning, except for the truth sayers at Fox..which are objective.

It is almost impossible for me to believe you can actually say that with a straight face. A network run by Roger Ailes. LOL

Convenient for you to ignore radio.

Finally, stop your complaining about the liberal media. The news divisions are owned by CORPORATIONS. Corporations that want to make money. Obviously, if they continue to operate as they do..they are making money...satisfying their customers...or else they would lose money...and that wouldn't please their corporate masters.

Are you against the free market? If you or anyone else doesn't like what is out there...feel free to start your own websites (oops, convenient for you to ignore the tons of conservative websites), conservative magazines (oops, convenient for you to leave out those), or news networks (oops, convenient for you to either lie about fox, or to ignore other outlets like CBN).
