Right Wing Extremism

Since the Right-Wing Media is so extreme and has a long history and track-record of the insane, I decided to make a thread to keep up with it.

Here's the first one.

Media Matters Responds To Michael Savage Threats, Cyberstalking (VIDEO)

Some people never learn...do they?

I believe this is entirely appropriate: Yep...

re: Right Wing Extremism

The other threads weren't good enough to put this in?

Perfect example of the bureaucracy of liberals....just keep spreading and getting bigger and bigger and more and more redundant.

re: Right Wing Extremism

Whats the matter?

It's almost as if Media Matters, a tax exempt 501c3 neo-marxist mouthpiece, has something to hide.

re: Right Wing Extremism

As if Media Matters [sic] has any cred whatsoever.

A quote from your link:
Quote:
Given the fact that Media Matters has been driving an argument of late, the premise of which was that right-wing media hosts had been trafficking in a sort of speech intended to incite violence and intimidation.
You got any real evidence to back that claim up? Rhetorical question alert!

Of course you don't, and neither does, Only Liberal Media Matters.

re: Right Wing Extremism

Well, sure, the OP is full of crap. This "media" he refers to are actually a bunch of pundits and commentators. Calling them "media" implies that they are journalists which they are not; there is really very little true "right wing media" in the sense of a journalistic fact based news source without a liberal bias.

Never the less, these neo-conservative radio and tv talkers are not doing anyone but themselves any good any more. They may have a certain base of people who still enjoy listening to them, but indeed they do seem to be becoming more extreme in their rhetoric in recent months at precisely the time "the right" as such it might be called needs desperately to change its image in a more positive and constructive way. That doesn't mean becoming liberal on issues, but in tone. The mainstream [liberal] media, the DNC, and various other groups have been very succesful in making "the right" as such it might be called look like a bunch of [their words] inbred hillbillies and mentally unstable lunatics and buffoons. These shows carrying on exactly in this manner doesn't exactly change this perception. Its almost as though these shows are trying to engrain this stereotype all the more.

The best thing would be the entire crop of these neo-conservative hosts to be replaced by sensible, moderate in tone voices that can point out the real extremism that the adminstration is implimenting in terms of its policies on a range of issues.

re: Right Wing Extremism

Nice try.

Conservatives never win by adopting liberal tactics, as evidenced by the last pres election.

Again, got any examples of this so called, "extreme rhetoric" coming from the so called, neo-con talk show hosts?

If what you say is true, then Alan Colmes is the greatest liberal ever.

I agree, however, I use the word "media" loosely so-to-speak, because that is what they call themselves and thats what they sell themselves to the world as.

I know better though, I believe most thinking people do.

re: Right Wing Extremism

Okay, I retract my "rhetorical question alert".

Got any examples of this extremism? I suspect you have never even listened to, or watched any of these people. Just reading the propaganda, eh?

So Michael Savage fights back against Media Matters propaganda, and that makes him extreme? Only in Amerika.

That fat slovenly asshole has been so extreme that he's managed to get himself banned from England.

Perhaps you meant to say, "only thinking and sensible people" instead of "only in America?"

re: Right Wing Extremism

No, I said only in Amerika, and you still haven't produced any examples of Savage's extremism.

It was British Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith who banned Savage from the UK, and she ended up resigning. Seems she has some ethical issues of her own.

Don't bother trying to have a rational discussion with Marc, your time will be "collateral damage".
