Why Conservatives Opt for Propaganda Over Reality

[kbate]

You do realize that The Daily Show is a satire? It's a comedy. Unlike Limbaugh, Jon Stewart purposely plays up the news for giggles and shits and not tells untruths as facts.

You did see on the graph that Liberals list the Daily Show as one of their sources of news?

 

[DooleyDarter]

It's a classic ad hoc debate technique, combining two disparate statements together with the insinuation that one is somehow responsible for the other. It's not technically a logical fallacy, as such, it has tremendous appeal for the Vettemen and Dooley Darters of the world.

Oh get off you high horse and loosen up a bit, it was said in jest. It must be tough standing near you in the unemployment lines, no fun at all.

I know. I get it. You're one of those people who know it when they see it.

You're one of the 14% of the Nation who suddenly think the Redskins is a racist trademark because it suddenly blew up in the media you pay attention to, the never-ending crusade for "civil rights" and Social Justice.

But I do not see you guys calling for justice over a man beating the crap out of a woman.

I think that is a political stance. She deserved it. Her mom was a Republican.

Not to mention she was incredibly stupid.

They should all be beaten.

Right?

The polar opposite of "social justice" is "jackbooted racism", which describes your glibertarian mindset pretty darn well.

That doesn't change the fact that it's a satire.

Next month...

I'm quite certain the upcoming midterm elections will reflect how the majority of Americans feel after almost 6 years of failed policies.

Repeating for :kbate:

"But on the good side for liberals and to their credit, when they are done with CBS, they can go to ABC and NPR and get the same exact story with the same exact slant and comforting format, but they are much smarter for having seen it three times followed up by reading about it in the NYTimes online..."

Actually, this Libertarian does not get the bulk of his news from TV.

I start with the AP wires in the morning on the computer.

You have to admit, FOX has the hotties.

But that isn't "opinion" because you began with a cute personal (but VERY VALID) anectode. OK.

you repeated it.

I got me a war to win!

 

[DooleyDarter]

The implication is that Obamacare caused it.
The good part of the ACA is that Ebola illness is covered!

kinda similar to Obama claiming a silly little movie caused the Benghazi fiasco.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

why are you so jealous of those people? you know, if you got off your ass, you too could earn money

Kinda not

 

[NeverEndingMe]

Reality scares conservatives.
They'd rather retreat to the warm comfortable cocoon of an imaginary "Leave It To Beaver" world that never existed.

I think if you were forced to pay your own way in life ... that reality makes you piss your pants. thank GOD you have obama welfare ....fatman

 

[DooleyDarter]

well, there ya go, I will be rooting for ya.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

I am trying to help you with the GED. See if you can correct the errors I've pointed out.

Dude, I hope that some day you will become a big boy .... get out of the basement ... unless you enjoy hiding in the closet

maybe that is step 1...come out of the closet

 

[DooleyDarter]

Kinda not

is too

Just so you can judge his 'not tells untruths as facts' for yourself.

obama is a liar, a criminal, and a terrorist

 

[DooleyDarter]

I shit you not

Looks like Rush has a lot of red in his ledger.

 

[DooleyDarter]

Rush is fucking funny. I would imagine most of the folks who rail against him have never listened to him.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

What the fuck are you ranting about? I don't condone ANY rape jokes, from the left or the right. That's just sick and you're a dumb fuck for even suggesting I do.

Not ranting. Just noticing that on liberal hot topics of the day,



you tend to have a lot to say...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

But that isn't "opinion" because you began with a cute personal (but VERY VALID) anectode. OK.

you repeated it.

No actually talking about the reverberations that permeate a society and the repeated frantic echoes from the Left, "FOX is biased! FOX is biased! FOX is biased! FOX is biased...!"

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

That doesn't change the fact that it's a satire.

The point seems to have sailed over your head...



You seem to be highly partisan.

I did during the Clinton years. File room had it on. His "America Held Hostage Day Number" shtick was annoying as shit!

The first statement he made was false, since the cop in question did NOT know Brown was a suspect and did not stop him for it, just stopped him for "walking while black."
