Laura Ingraham's Stalinism

[Science Fan]

Rothchildren? Rothchildren are like Adolf Hitler? Just when I thought people on here couldn't get any more insane.

So, newspapers will be arbitrarily shut down if people don't like their reports? And that causes them to do what? Lie? Ingraham insulted a high-school kid, as opposed to logically addressing his arguments. Now, how is that news reporting that should be protected? We really want news people like Ingraham acting like a school-yard punkass, and behaving like an idiot? It was this childish act on her part that has caused people to boycott and companies to withdraw their support for her. If anything, such a response will be a signal to news journalists to stop acting like immature children and instead start acting like mature adults.

You can’t be serious.

Laura Ingram does not run a news show.
- She runs an opinion/editorial/commentary show.
- Her topic, upon which to comment, is the reported news.
- I don’t watch the show, but at least I know what it is.

Ignorance of the difference between factual news reporting, and opinion of the news, indicates a corruption of objectivity.

Boycotts?
Digital age + deceit + bots = bogus number of boycotters freaking out advertisers.

Walker: I was responding to a comment from a SJW. But, you still managed to completely miss the point. It doesn't matter what anyone calls her show --- her show has no right to exist. It's called freedom.

Idiot needs to make up his mind whether someone is arguing with him as a 'PCProgressive lefty SJW' or 'fascist right-wing freedom-hating commie Stalinist' (or does the label depend on the topic and whether or not a poster is agreeing or disagreeing with said idiot?). I thought it was 'the left' that were 'commie bastards'.
You Americans are too cute with your labels. It's just a shame that the labels get all confused and tangled up with each other. Wouldn't it be so much easier to take each subject on its own merits based on logic, reason and evidence (or is that too obvious?)?

[Science Fan]

Veggie, I don't need to make up my mind about you. You are PC, or another term for you is SJW. You definitely gave yourself away with your endorsement of identity politics on the post regarding abortion, when you claimed men were not entitled to have an opinion on the topic. That is most definitely PC crap or SJW crap. Everything about you gives you away as a PC-minded person.

[vegetariantaxidermy]

Why would any man have an opinion on the topic of abortion, apart from to say it's the woman's concern and choice? Do I tell men whether or not they should be allowed to get prostate checks? Or whether you should be allowed to use viagra. Or whether men should be allowed to use prostitutes? Or watch porn? Or use condoms?
I'm about as unPC as it's possible to be and you know it. You just like to pick and dig and annoy as much as you possibly can. It's a sick and creepy 'sport' with you. Perhaps you should try basketball or something.

[Science Fan]

See, there you go, PC/SJW Kiwi ---- proving that you are into identity politics, which comes straight out of the PC/SJW handbook of irrational things to argue. Not to mention your science-denial of such things as races don't exist, which would undermine your identity politics, or that there is an evolutionary basis for women's sexual preferences, because the PC/SJW crowd insists that there is no biological basis for behavior, that it's all a matter of social factors.

Okey dokey.

If there were hardcore feminists on this forum, they would definitely not get along with VG. There is plenty there I'm sure I wouldn't agree with her on, but calling someone a 'social justice warrior', has just become a way to manipulate a response from an audience.

Not to mention your science-denial of such things as races don't exist

Well, I don't think that race exists. At least not as a scientific term. Can you provide me a peer-reviewed paper from a scientific journal stating that it does?

Well, you do tell them they need to pay the bills from said woman's choice...

I've never said races do or don't exist. I've simply asked for the definition of 'race' that they are referring to when they say it 'doesn't exist'. It helps to know what exactly it is that 'doesn't exist'. You should ignore everything he claims others say unless there is a quote provided.

Bloody annoying that my Assad/anti-war post has been deleted. With so many rabid warmongers around who believe anything politicians tell them you have to balance it with something. Not sure why a post that's simply asking for evidence and pointing out extreme hypocrisy would be deleted. So people actually believe that the US is on a white knight mission to 'save' Syrian from chemical weapons, while it continues to blow them up. Blowing up is apparently 'morally sound'.

I wondered what happened to my thread.

Oh, I wasn't assuming that what he was saying about you was accurate. I was just trying to say that there are plenty of issues I disagree with you on, but I don't think it's at all accurate to call you an 'SJW' because of those disagreements.

What do you think of the idea that trump is escalating tensions with Syria, because he doesn't want to appear 'easy' on russia? Do you think he could be making a front against the people who are accusing him of Russian collusion?

[Sir-Sister-of-Suck]

I personally don't know what do make about the idea that Assad isn't the one who has made these chemical attacks. I haven't really looked into the evidence for that.

There are some people who believe that trump does absurd things in order to distract from something else that's going on. Now I don't think this is a distraction so much as a demonstration that he's fed up with all of these Russia conspiracy theories. I otherwise have a hard time wrapping my head around this idea that a man who made his campaign against immigration and intervening in other countries would do something that so clearly contradicts this. Of course he contradicts himself all the time, but this is something different.

It's not necessarily Trump. He's just a puppet anyway. Anyone could do it and blame someone else. Arms manufacturers certainly have a vested interest in the convoluted mess continuing indefinitely. They are about the only 'winners'. What the hell right does the US have to go in and oust Assad anyway?
