I see the brainwashing has been completed on you at least. Brand those you hate as "hateful" and escape being branded as hateful. That tactic works on some of us

Give up the hate and you'll see much more clearly.

So it's ok for you to call names, label and pigeonhole people. Make judgements on people with incomplete information, and then suggest that it is we that need to be more "broadminded." - rolls eyes -

So you defend the indefensible and attack the innocent.

Gotcha.

Re: Right Wing Extremism

To deny that hatred and racism is a part of the Right Wing Media is just plain silly. I haven't listen much to Micheal Savage, but I have listen quite a bit to Limbaugh and Hannity. Both men twist facts and spout on and on about ridiclous points. Limbaugh should've been a comedian he can be very funny. I can give you an easy example of Rush's racism, claiming that a four star general would back someone for president of the United States solely because of race. Does he think that Powell would have supported Al Sharpton or Alan Keyes. Sorry folks that's just plain racism. Heard Hannity go on and on about Obama's helicopter and how he wasn't going to get his shiny knew helicopter, I researched it, guess what, it was ordered while Bush was president. As a Democrat, I kinda like seeing these guys go on and on, and hijacking the Republican party, helps my side. But as an American I detest it, because it pre empts any serious dialouge about critical issues facing our nation today. In as much as I can stomach them all I hear, all I hear, is Obama is wrong and will destroy our country( I have more faith in our country). Even when Obama does exactly what they would they attack him, example the Somalian pirates. What we need is reasonable discussion, what we have is vomited rhetoric that has infected the Republican party.

I listen to the left wing as well, most of what I see on Oberman is a reaction to the vehemence on the right. I'll repeat we need reasonable discussion.

You're quick to point out what you perceive to be racism from right wing media, and then you give what could only be described as ten times worse behavior from the left wing media (keith overbite), and blame that on the right as well.

Being a liberal means never having to say you're sorry.

The right/left bicker ad hominem model is by design, like CFR member Charlie Rose, these folks are paid so that NOTHING changes, status quo remains.

On Rose last night, Paul Krugman spoke un opposed on Banking, he was literally deer eyed and shaking, afraid if he said the wrong thing he might get fired by Big Brother. (many journos do)

Similarly, NSA torture advocate Jim Jones got all the leeway and lies perpetuated by Charlie, a good govmnt pet.

This tabloid censor fest by NBC is by design, as the run up to the war had MSNBC hijacked by Genrals and Pentagon types. Olberman is in the bag or he wouldn't be there. As much as I like Johnathon Alter, they've got him on a short leash.

Such as what CountryBoy?

You're quite to start popping shit from the side of your neck, but you fail to list a SINGLE instance.

Notice in Tom's post he cited numerous examples.

Your response was the same ole "Left Wing Liberal Media" bull shite.

Please, list one or two examples, or continue to be considered a laughing stock.

Cites numerous examples of what?

The left is always quick to point the finger at "right wing extremism", while ignoring the extremism from the left, or even blaming it on the right.

If you don't already know Keith Olberman is a left wing hack, with low ratings, what good will it do to cite examples? Look it up, refute it. Show me where this guy is nothing more than a hack.

If you consider me a laughing stock Marc, I wear that as a badge of honor. Thank you for the compliment.

The "shit from the side of your neck" thing is actually a pretty funny line.

*edit* For your enjoyment Marc have a look at Overbite agreeing with the despicable comments of Garafolo. Do you agree with these comments?

Out of your examples I don't see one instance of racism. It's not racism to talk about some helicopter . It's also not racist to think that Powell voted for Obama because he is black. Powell claims he is a Republican. Now I can accept that he might be a moderate but there is nothing moderate about Obama, he is far left. I was talking to a black guy at my work and he is pretty conservative and he said he voted for Obama for the historical aspect and maybe some other reasons that I wouldn't be able to understand because I am not black. Making an assumption is not racist. I'm sure you could find much better examples of something that is racist. I'll even give you a leg up. Go look up what Rush said about Donovan McNabb. Once you look that up then I'll tell you how you are wrong there as well.

It's just a lame ass thing to call someone who you don't agree with. Usually that you don't agree with on something completely unrelated. Call 'em a racist and that settles it LOL

Maybe to you Obama is far left, he's not by any definition I know of.

It certainly is racism and nothing else. Powell delineated his reasons for voting for Obama very carefully, none had anything to do with race. You're calling him a liar and doing it on the basis he is black, that's pretty much racism by definition.

It's certainly prevalent on this board a lot. You just don't see it. The guy calls Powell a liar and does it almost entirely on the basis of Powell being black. What is that if it's NOT racism.

I don't know. I'm so sick of hearing the racism accusation everywhere. I'm sick to death of it. Everywhere race race what is your race ? You're a racist blah blah.

I stopped filling out forms that ask what race I am. It's a completely irrelevent question to ask someone.

What does what race I am have to do with applying to get into a college course ? What does what race I am have to do with a job I might apply for ? What does what race I am have to do with anything ? I'm sick of seeing/hearing about it.

If racism weren't still a huge part of America, I wouldn't have to see/hear about it.

I either passed the test(s) or I didn't. I paid my bills or I didn't. Race has jack shit to do with any of it.

Haha...of course he's not far left to you. You're even farther than that and are a far left wack-job. Obama has gotten the government involved more into the private sector than anyone ever has and he's not done, oh no, not by a long shot. He is just getting started.

As a fairly public figure Powell wouldn't just come out and say, "Hey, I know Obama's political stances don't really fall inline with my party affiliation, but I'm gonna go ahead and vote for him because he's black."

Give me a break. That might not have been the sole reason he did but I'm sure it was a huge factor in it. Otherwise he should stop pretending and change his party affiliation. So he's either lying about why he voted for Obama or he's lying about being a Republican. Either way Powell is a liar. There is nothing racist about it. But it's always nice of the liberals to toss the racism card out and imagine in their fairy tail world that they are right.

Re: Right Wing Extremism

Is it "racist" to wonder why this obama "presidente" still refuses to release his long form birth certificate to prove that he's eligible to be the president ?

I suppose that's "racist" too isn't it ?

Funny how certain people with certain skin colors get to use the "racist" accusation to end criticisms and questions isn't it ?


Real "funny."

What's with you guys and your personal attacks? Is it ok for you to call somebody a fat slovenly asshole as long as he's conservative? I would never call Obama an effete cunt! Why take such tactics when you have such an obvious intellect?
