Comments by "Ronin Dave" (@RoninDave) on "David Pakman Show" channel.

  1. People like Sargon seem to focus solely on the SJW stuff and not a lot of the other things covered by TYT like Standing Rock, money in politics, global warming, etc... and so they make themselves almost contrary to everything TYT reports on. They've lost the ability to do nuance in their obsession to tear down TYT. I saw the so-called clickbait controversy video and I find the hypocrisy hilarious. People throw that word around without a clue what it means. Eye-catching titles aren't a bad thing. It's when the title is grossly inaccurate to video or completely false that's an issue to get irate about. Sargon basically did the same thing he accused Pakman about but he probably doesn't see it that way because he is, of course, right.

  2. He certainly had the situation well in hand

  3. Hope they didn't vote before they mobilized. I think it rather funny that these militias tend to be "anti-government" but they believe in doing a government job like guarding the border because they are so scared of poor brown people. It just shows the government they hate is the one which helps people but they love the fascist version of it which gives an outward appearance of supporting their kind. And make no mistake for all their anti-government rhetoric and freedom, they are the brown-shirts-in-waiting for an authoritarian leader.

  4. The rise of Nazism in Germany wasn't this unhinged or goofy.
    166
  5. The US has become a land of paranoid neighbors jumping at shadows and calling trigger-happy scared police with their over-militarized training to deal with basically cats-up-a-tree scenarios

  6. She can open her bakery in Afghanistan
    93
  7. They didn't like him airing their dirty laundry because the football team is more important than any old rape. I bet there has been a lot of rape that has gone unreported or not investigated over the years there and they are afraid of the potential flood gates opening
    80
  8. The problem is there are people on both sides of the political spectrum incapable of nuance and they take an all or nothing stance. I tend to side more with the Palestinians but I certainly don't agree with suicide bombers in civilian places or their stance that Israel should not exist - mainly because these idiotic tactics do more to harm to their cause than aid it. With Sanders you would get a more progressive president (finally) but these idiots are so hung up on his not completely agreeing with their views on Israel so they'll vote against him and ensure we get another so-so president whether democrat or republican. They are so naive to think that there would be a candidate whom they would agree with every single one of their policies. They need to grow up (unless they were agitators send to make Sanders look bad).

  9. The Bandog and the opposite is the alt-right? Screw that nonsense. TYT is not the bastion of SJW you muppets strawman them as. They have come down on PC nazi behavior many times while actually covering important issues which Sargon and his ilk will never cover - money in politics, the DNC breaking their rules to screw over Bernie, CNN leaking questions to Hillary, Standing Rock, Obama corporate-friendly policies, etc...
    77
  10. Sargon's NPC troll fans don't like that another rightwing grifter has been called out revealing they've been duped again showing that they are the NPCs who support anyone spouting their rhetoric.
    74
  11. MAGA is not a radical ideology. They're insane. There's no getting around it. We can't treat these people as though they have a valid argument when they are constantly shifting their argument along with their perception of reality to fit their needs. They need to be deprogrammed (or just let nature take its course thru Covid)
    68
  12. You laugh but the Birther Movement will successfully have Obama removed from office in January 2017. Mark my words.
    61
  13. Even according to the Bible, this passenger's comments don't fly
    58
  14. When I heard that Hitler loved dogs, I went over and kicked my dog screaming "I'm not like Hitler! I'm not like Hitler!" The message was lost on my dog who in response to my ardent anti-nazism took a dump on the carpet and marked his territory on the sofa leg.
    47
  15. The Founding Fathers would have loved these guys - loved to have thrown them in the stocks. 
    47
  16. She unloaded on him for not unloading on her
    47
  17. Cernovich just reveals what most of us already know that most of the rightwing despite their cries for free speech and being touch are just a bunch of snowflakes who only want free speech for their narrow-minded archaic viewpoint.
    46
  18. Conservatives as a whole have a classic bully mentality. They love calling the Left weak and pushing them around but just like bully who gets his nose eventually bopped cries victim when people fight back.
    44
  19. The Bandog hmmmm.... did you even read the comments before you posted or posted on the wrong one. Last I checked TYT was not in power.
    43
  20. Jesus: "You dumb literal bitch, I said 'put your child on the RIGHT track!' not on Amtrack!"
    43
  21. the militia are basically the brown/blackshirts of the fascists of pre-WWII Germany and Italy - insanely patriotic, relatively uneducated, prone to violence, intolerant towards others be they foreigners, minorities, different political views, etc... All they need is a charismatic "tough" leader who will "attack" the modern weimar republic and end the tyranny of equality for all, environmental regulation, gun laws (except against the undesirables), etc.. and as long as he makes bombastic speeches about praising the constitution and idolizing the Founding Fathers, they'll love him despite him being the exact opposite of those things and ideals.
    42
  22. For one Alabama town, Christmas this year was a real drag
    41
  23. I would imagine a real message from God to Glenn Beck would go something like this: God: Dear Glenn Beck, Stop. Just Stop. Yours Truly,  God
    41
  24. Those poor CEOs having to work 3-4 jobs just to afford discount caviar and bottom shelf Dom Perignon! Will someone please think of the CEOs?
    41
  25. Is it not hard to believe the the thing rigged when you consider: * we are talking about a candidate under FBI investigations for using a private server which risked national security in order to most likely make private quid pro quo deals * There's a million dollar internet campaign to "correct the record" * we've had election workers speak out on highly questionable election practices in various areas * exit polls being far off the mark compared to the results unlike the Republican ones * the election centers in pro-Bernie districts strangely shortening or changing their hours in certain states * provisional ballots handed out to registered voters in CA * significantly more pro-Bernie democrats having their registration lost or their party switched * hacked emails showing the DNC completely behind Clinton from the get-go * we've seen how pro-Hillary media is like CNN whose owners Time Warner are Clinton donors * Hillary did significantly well when you had machines conveniently with no paper trails Too many irregularities for there not to be election fraud but it doesn't have to be some secret cabal around Hillary orchestrating it but rather individuals in various positions looking for future favors who are throwing monkey wrenches here and there
    41
  26. I think Trump took "Take Your Daughter To Work Day" a little too far in my opinion
    40
  27. this discrimination against discriminators must stop!
    40
  28. Rightwingers defend property rights unless it's public property which they feel entitled to use for their private purposes without paying for that use. They call liberals freeloaders and moochers but when one of their own refuses to pay taxes or uses public property without paying usage fees then they are patriots. Overly-armed individuals impending the legal removal of trespassing property are true americans while unarmed anti-corporate protestors occupying public lands are dangerous anti-american communists. Seriously I can't wait till these anti-progressive nut jobs dwindle and die off.
    40
  29. Well, if we had an IQ test to limit the number of voters, people like Santorum would never hold office again.
    39
  30. I hear they have killer room service
    39
  31. In the near future, NRA-mandated laws will require everyone to be armed from grannies to toddlers 24/7 so that everyone can stand their ground.
    39
  32. he's a hero to bigots who are scared to say publicly what they really think
    38
  33. Conservatives have shown themselves willing to kill, die, and divorce just to keep fellow citizens from having the same rights as them. Wonderful bunch they are!
    37
  34. Each T-shirt comes with a Darwin Award nomination
    35
  35. Ok, where are those strict constitutionalists and 2nd Amendmentors? Surely they'll jump on this disgrace to the Founding Father's ideals? ...why am I only hearing crickets?
    33
  36. VisionStorm1 hello? Have you been under a rock for the last 20 years? That's the state of much of our socio-political situation these where it's either all in or all out with a lot of people. Nuance is gone. Try to grasp the basic concept you are picking out to make your pointless point. A lot of TYT haters hate TYT over SJW stuff and so they dislike every video TYT uploads based on that principle while people like Sargon become a broken record repeating the same mantra.
    33
  37. Creationists are a minority even amongst Christians but they are such a loud minority and it doesn't help that today's media keeps giving them more attention than they deserve. Did the original cosmos have this kind of criticism and demand for equal time? Screw 'em! Let them make their own show.
    33
  38. How many other first world countries have a significant percentage of its populace so deathly afraid of its government to this level? Sure there are people disappointed with their respective governments but this level of paranoid fear? 
    32
  39. How many are in law enforcement? Though being in the KKK and law enforcement would be rather superfluous.
    30
  40. Will those people who applauded him in 2012 at the presidential debate for his death penalty stance applaud this as well? Probably.
    29
  41. they know they'll lose their audience if they don't bring it down to a simpler level they understand which is Obama/liberals are somehow behind it because Benghazi
    29
  42.  @thunderpooch  a lot of anti-vaxxers overlap with Trumpsters who overlap with a lot rightwing fascists who support a rightwing coup of the country so in the end it's probably for the best
    29
  43.  @natlegend  there is no government - we live in a corporatocracy
    29
  44. these people are fanatics and you can't change fanatics' minds. The only thing that will change their minds is their own deaths. We just have to ride this out
    28
  45. If the Founding Fathers were alive today I'm quite sure they'd say "Help! Help! Get me out of this coffin!" rather than call for an Amendment banning gay marriage rights.
    27
  46. and hardly ironic, the world is suddenly a little safer
    27
  47. If Fox suspended their employees for lying, there'd be no one left to report what passes for news at their station. Fortunately for them, integrity, personal responsibility, and consistency has never bothered Fox or most rightwingers.
    26
  48. And tomorrow the day will dawn on an America that was exactly the same as the day before. Imagine if OWS had done something like this - there would have calls for executions and mass deportations. Why is it the right can get away with this shit more? Oh, that's right because ultimately their anti-government stance is supported by monied interests who want less government interference in their businesses.
    26
  49. I hear Ted Haggard's sexual conversion therapy involved indepth lengthy fucking the gay away sessions
    24
  50. The anti-global warming folks are convinced that global warming is a massive conspiracy and fraud involving the cooperation of numerous of folks in the scientific community and various politicians but when the very few critics of global warming are shown to be in the pay of fossil fuel companies and/or similar which explains their position this is readily dismissed while they without evidence continue to believe in the aforementioned conspiracy theory.
    24
  51. If rightwingers want Mike Brown's stepfather arrested for inciting violence in his emotional outburst can't we arrest this guy for inciting hate and murder against people because of their sexual preference?
    24
  52. "I'm going to call you out for cherry picking by cherry picking my own examples!" I hate these kind of "arguments" that ultimately have little point. As to his example of the NRA saying if the black man who was shot in the apartment had a gun, he'd be alive that's just ridiculous on the NRA's part regardless of race and I think they are just throwing a bone to try and seem that they care. Being surprised (ambushed) by someone with a gun close at hand doesn't give that person much options unless they sit around their own home armed all the time and draw their gun every time someone knocks on the door. While I think the NRA is just offering a limp-wristed defense for the sake of appearances, there are gun nuts who think you can magically take down an armed assailant with your ninja-like moves because they did it in a video game. Plus, say he shot and killed her, now he's killed a cop and a female one at that in his home and he's black on top of that. Do you think the judicial system is going to let him off?
    24
  53. nateo200 "but so far neo-liberals and the far left SJW's are a far greater threat" - to who, you melodramatic muppet? Oh no! A gay Uncle Tom alt-righter couldn't speak at a university! The world is going to implode! Meanwhile Trump and neo-cons are slashing environmental regulations and repealing healthcare that actually will affect people's lives and potentially cause the deaths of thousands. Your priorities are screwed up.
    23
  54. The minister got hot under the collar when Kim Jong-un fired him apparently
    23
  55. Wiles is moaning that they dragged his past up when they found that the skeletons in his closet had feathery boas 
    23
  56. And people voted against him for the man who helped that oligarchy begin its takeover when he wasn't trading weapons with Iran or negotiating to keep the hostages past the election.
    23
  57.  @BonsuBigWhale  you do know that people around the world have taken the vaccine, right? They aren't Biden supporters. And WTF does "if that test is failed?" mean? You make no sense
    23
  58.  @terrystevens3998  I think our only hope at this point is if Trump hosts a Jim Jones Jungle Juice Jam
    23
  59. That Brand can't or is unwilling to see Tim Poole's "civil war" crap is straight up rightwing grift feeding off rightwing fear and anger shows that Brand is imperceptive or disingenuous.
    23
  60. ozzyhall never said it was his job - try actually reading first. I said he just focuses on SJW stuff then indulges in click-baity titles after hilariously trying to take Pakman to task over that before
    22
  61. The Pakman Show is well known for their virulent bias against Alpha Centaurians 
    22
  62. I think it boils down to a number of conservatives can't stand it when people have a different opinion than theirs and will go to great lengths to shut it down. One way is to cajole people into moderating their tone like what they did with CNN recently over what constitutes a school shooting. The other is to threaten not to watch or unsub from a channel if they present a liberal viewpoint. This latter tactic was used against a friend of mine who primarily does videos on how to speak japanese. He did one video just chatting with someone over guns in the US and he gets this comment posted by someone saying they can no longer watch this guy's channel because it's become a liberal propaganda site - over one video! Do liberals complain when Beck does videos with a conservative viewpoint? Do they threaten to unsub?
    21
  63. The Confederate Flag isn't racist - it was only designed by someone who supported slavery and supported war against the US to continue the institution of slavery then later the flag was raised on Southern capital grounds in the 60s in a sign of opposition to de-segregation and Civil Rights while also being carried proudly by the KKK known for beating and killing minorities. So how people could think it racist is just a conundrum to me.
    21
  64. the chuckleheads screaming "We're Number One" were actually right...about one thing
    21
  65. The thing is it's hard to tell anymore after years of looney Obama conspiracies, petitions to secede after a democratic election, demanding time on cosmos for unscientific bunk, Michelle Bachman, Cruz and his dad, Florida, etc... It's believable because it's not far off from the truth. We just had a bunch of people grab their guns to fight off dat evil gubermint because some rancher refuse to pay taxes.
    21
  66. that's because they like to think of the Left as weak flower-children so any sign of aggression from the Left scares them. Meanwhile they talk about beating up leftists all the time like it's normal.
    21
  67. McConnell had the nerve to claim historic obstruction by Democrats over Trump's woefully unqualified cabinet picks ignoring his mission to shut down Obama at every turn with historic obstruction. You cannot reach compromise with people this disingenuous and if he's not disingenuous, he's utterly insane and in complete denial of facts.
    20
  68. Surprise! Surprise! Once again the group who claims the moral high ground while denouncing liberals as immoral has another darling exposed as an immoral hypocrite. How many times do they need to have their noses rubbed into their own filth to realize they have absolutely no monopoly on morality?
    20
  69. It's ridiculous that someone can work a fulltime job, serve in the military, get married, and be charged as an adult in a crime that they can't buy a lousy beer. All this stupid law does is give 18-20 legal problems and everyone around them while making them more likely to binge drink
    20
  70. Conservatives don't want their deluded followers from realizing that there are better places out there so they compare them to places their simple minds can understand and be afraid of.
    20
  71. If they were dumb enough to vote for him chances they are dumb enough to believe it's all Obama's fault
    20
  72. Of course, a centrist with a spotty record on trade, social security, war, civil rights, crime laws, bankruptcy polices not too mention visible signs of cognitive decline that Trump has already commented on plus 8 allegations of sexual misconduct is the only candidate who can beat an incumbent President with a death cult following who has a long history of weaseling out of tough spots due to being absolutely shameless. Impeccable logic that caller has.
    20
  73. D Mick the leftwing Fox News - thanks for the pseudo-intellectual nugget of wisdom there. Fox is in its own category as rightwing propaganda that has helped to divide people on ideology making compromise nigh impossible for two decades.
    19
  74. completely unrelated, my Dallas jewel heist went off without a hitch
    19
  75. Hey, rightwingers I'm going to open a No-Gay Pizzeria in Indiana so I need money. It'll take about a million or so to get this business started to rub it in their ungodly unamerican noses so donate now! It'll open about the 32nd of Septober
    19
  76. because they're criminals. Need a dictionary for Christmas?
    19
  77. Why no mention of Cthulhu? Clearly he's a filthy flunky of the elder gods.
    19
  78.  @champ8605  they're so tribalistic that they'll do anything to own the libs, the tribe they hate. At this point I say we start spreading ideas like libs don't want you to get superpowers by sticking forks into light sockets or that libs want to make drinking sulfuric acid illegal.
    19
  79. I think some NSA agents got caught playing WOW on the job and came up with the old looking for terrorists excuse 
    18
  80. The thing I hate about demon-possessed rape victim atheistic co-workers is that they keep stealing people's lunches from the office fridge and then lying about it.
    18
  81. brilliant! You got want you wanted, Georgia! Now you have socially unaware people shooting their mouths off about their gun and being able to get away with it
    18
  82. watch over the coming months the fake liberals and independents come out to encourage apathy by saying both parties are basically the same
    18
  83. When the Right says - "The Left can't meme!" I take that as a compliment especially after seeing this. All it says is conservatives are easily swayed by captions under a facepalming Captain Picard rather than doing that research they keep telling liberals to do.
    18
  84.  @greenesthue1545  false equivalency and strawman arguments. The idea of both sides do it has long been expired as the Right has moved into realms of sheer fantasy of pizzagates, hoax shootings, and demons supporting Hillary.
    18
  85. Are they fashionable ties or do they clash with your shirts?
    18
  86. if only he can get his followers to drink the kool-aid
    18
  87. This guy is a hoot! You should take his calls at least once a month for the laughter he induces! He's a good example of today's conservative - unhinged, full of himself, ignorant, and potentially violent towards opposing viewpoints as his implied threat of "you'll see a real right wing movement" shows.
    17
  88. So God bailed on the US because ancient sailors wrote Baal on some rocks some two thousand years ago? At least it wasn't over the slavery and genocide. We can rest on that one, folks!
    17
  89. Your typical conservative has no idea what liberalism actually is anymore than they do communism, socialism, Islam, the metric system, etc... When rightwing muppets like our hatriot here talk about liberals, it is the boogeyman strawman liberal that they have made up in their own heads fueled by rightwing rhetoric. They have this bizarre child-like 2 dimensional view of liberals being this nebulous nefarious collective of people who want to destroy America like some cartoon villain because they're evil. They really are this simple-minded. Growing up in a red state from the Clinton era onward I have seen this change. With the rise of rightwing radio in the 90s the intelligent cognitive abilities of the rightwing has been drastically handicapped. We need to realize this and stop treating their ridiculous simplistic assertions as valid and worthy of discussion. Doing so up to now has resulted in loonies like Bachman, Ernst, Gohmert, Cruz, etc... getting elected to our eternal shame.
    16
  90. sounds like a country song gone wrong
    16
  91. I still don't see what's wrong in looking more in depth at particular situations rather than just going "oh, it's religion/Islam which is the problem" and calling it a day. Regardless of his other works, Reza should be applauded for taking those CNN hosts to task for their ignorance.
    16
  92.  moderatingmoderation  Trump won by having 3 million fewer votes due to an antiquated election system designed to appease slave-owning states. Even with a lot of people not liking crooked Hillary far more people prefer her to this buffoon. Even those who didn't vote at all are more likely to be against Trump than the alternative. The fact is Trump-voting people are a minority and continue to dwindle. Only by voter suppression and gerrymandering are they able to have any influence at all.
    16
  93. after things like Obama is a secret muslim Kenyan and satanic pedophiliac pizzerias it's so hard to tell these days with the rightwing
    15
  94. No penis cakes will be baked for the anticipated David&Lewis gay wedding
    15
  95. There goes those freedom-loving conservatives deciding what everyone should learn and know
    15
  96. adios!
    15
  97. Some of the PC stuff is blow out of proportion to the point where the anti-PC crowd thinks some college students telling Milo to fuck off is far more serious than our continual wars and lack of healthcare. A lot of this stuff is really in the university crowd and shows the age of the SJWs and the anti-SJWs both of whom are going through a phase. Those college students in this incident by in large have very little real-life experience and in about 5 years out of university will be significantly different in their mindset than they are now - not that they will completely change political positions but that they will not be as inflexible and over-melodramatic in their position as they are now. But anyway we need to prioritize the real problems - demanding safe places isn't going to kill anyone but the lack of healthcare and our continual droning campaign will.
    15
  98. I like how loving your country involves not criticizing it (unless a democrat is in the white house).
    15
  99.  @colinskelding8959  They'll have a long wait for these people to reach the border when they request asylum. By that time, let's hope most of these militia guys will have shot themselves in accidents and drunken quarrels.
    15
  100. ***** exactly! You become a one-trick pony. Your extreme SJWs are annoying like the recent Mrs. Humungous and Hawaiian Bobblehead Bitch but going on and on about them as some of these channels do becomes equally annoying, petty, and pointless.
    14
  101. ah, the irony of complaining about mooching welfarers when he's mooching off of public land for his own profits
    14
  102. you must have missed the memo. FYI we strike on monday
    14
  103. Playing Blind Man's Bluff with firearms is always a bad idea but leave it to Florida and the NRA to turn a blind eye towards this kind of thing.
    14
  104. what atheist would think - "hey, there's a female pilot! I'm going to smear Christians by writing this note that I'll never know if they'll read or throw away - giggle! giggle!" ?
    14
  105. it's their angsty way of identifying themselves by what they are not (but actually they are) much like a teenager who rebels against conformity by conforming to non-conformity standards. Ironically (but not unsurprising) they become more part of group think mentality who go around enforcing rules of behavior even calling people within the collective NPCs because they aren't anti-NPC enough.
    14
  106.  @Alltime2050  aha, sheep! It's called micro for a reason and it will run on solar power thru the skin because lefties love solar power! As well as demonic energy from communist cabals in DC or should I say Demonic Coven? And D also stands for Democrat. Democrat = Demon - coincidence? I think not! IT'S ALL A LIE!!!! MOON LANDINGS WERE FAKED!!! THE EARTH IS FLAT!!!! BIDEN IS THE ANTI-CHRIST!!!!
    14
  107. yeah it's funny conservatives only talk about those guys going after guns but not the intellectuals because they want to go after the intellectuals too
    13
  108. aaron ponton malpractice? Are TYT doctors killing their patients with SJW-itis? Piss off with your hammy melodramatics.
    13
  109. basically he's saying - "back into the mines, peasants, for your 16-hour work days and company script pay!"
    13
  110. Have to disagree. It comes off as high-n-mighty and cultural imperialism to basically tell 1.5 billion people that their core belief is the motherlode of bad ideas while our country bombs, occupies, and exploits a number of Islamic countries yet is also supporting the most repressive of Islamic regimes. When criticizing christians we are essentially criticizing ourselves ie members of our own socio-political culture and we are in more danger of losing rights if certain fundamental christians get their way. If muslims were pushing the political legal system to enforce sharia law on everyone in the US, I'd be equally critical of them and their individual actions. As it is blanket criticism of Islam is pointless and will have little affect except to preach to the choir - a choir primarily of westerners who many have little knowledge of the individual countries under this broad umbrella of Islamic nations.  Rather it would be more productive to criticize the individual governments of those countries in support of those who are protesting for their rights and urge them to pass laws for equality. And this is where Maher and Harris are so ignorant. There are liberals involved in NGOs and individual organizations aiding such causes. Just because they aren't screaming about it or the media isn't focusing on them, doesn't mean it's not happening. Harris&Maher actually represent the more useless aspect of liberalism - criticizing for the sake of criticism and doing fuck all at the end of the day except writing a book or two.
    13
  111. abyssinia4ever shhh... you're ruining his "perfect" argument with actual facts.
    13
  112. karl john mmmm...satanic communist french fries
    13
  113.  @cappy2575  your personal anecdote is immaterial. Do you not know how statistics work? Wait-a-minute, I retract my question as you obviously don't. The other telling thing about your level of intelligence is how you blame Pakman for this when he is reporting on it. Dum-dum, he didn't do the survey and compile the data.
    13
  114. a big factor as well is their behavior and attitude. It's not just carelessness, they are going out of their way to do the exact opposite of medical advice from not wearing masks, going to large gatherings, having covid parties, etc... They are deliberately putting themselves at risk along with others.
    13
  115. The anti-white male thing is something that faux progressives have seized on to the delight of the right wing. It's particularly hilarious when it comes from white women who ardently supported Hillary in 2016 to the point of labeling detractors and Bernie supporters as sexist despite the number of women supporters Bernie had. This group is so toxic and unfortunately still has sway in leftist circles confounding issues with their identity politics. This is why it's easy for fake leftists like Siskind to do this shit and make people believe it represents the broad mentality of the Left.
    13
  116. It shows they really don't understand him or progressives in general. They expect a left politician to be terrified of anything that would make them seem less Left and make all kinds of apologies and disclaimers making them look weak.
    13
  117. I walked 50 miles uphill to school in snow everyday so everyone should too!
    13
  118. ozzyhall your inability to think reasonably is not my fault. I guess I assumed I shouldn't have to clarify the bloody obvious.

  119. Right wingers want the freedom to criticize but criticize their critique (and the intelligence behind it) and they scream its censorship. It's basically saying "I can say bad things about you but you can't say bad things about me."
    12
  120. I don't think it too much of a conspiracy theory that some of these radical nutjobs are actively hoping Christians will be persecuted in order to usher in the End Times so they can have the great cosmic "I told you so!" moment which is more important to them than actually being decent people.
    12
  121. And conservatives are always howling about liberals indoctrinating kids - the projection is so strong with them
    12
  122. Equality is tyranny to the rightwing mind in which case it's patriotic to be angry at America especially when a democrat is president but when if a liberal complains about police abuse and unjust wars than they are unamerican hippy scum.
    12
  123. Republicans are so clueless to realize how Benghazi has turned around and bit them on the ass. The word "benghazi" is now a joke to poke fun at obsessive nitpicky conservatives who focus on something of small concern compared to much bigger issues. It's a shame that people died at Benghazi but the Republicans have turned it into a farce.
    12
  124. Unfortunately it probably won't matter because all those who got heated up by this story will ignore such facts because "the government totally sucks!" Two interests are behind this - the anti-government people who want to use this story to fit that narrative and those who want a precedent to use public land for private interests.
    12
  125. Oh, yeah so much money is wasted on welfare and not military spending! Fuck but there are some ignorant people out there!
    12
  126. The irony that many conservatives want the US to be a christian nation and yet they can't follow one of the most fundamental aspects of Christianity itself which is helping the poor.

  129. Call me a conspiracist but I think Obama's recent bear-hunting trip in Ukraine with rocket launchers was a little suspicious.
    12
  130. Republicans want to fight fights that don't need to be fought such as voter fraud and Benghazi but will ignore the fights that need to be fought: money in politics, corporate fraud, drone usage, etc... Can we just ignore them now? 
    12
  131. Christianity is founded on the concept of forgiveness but as we have seen in the US it's a very selective forgiveness which is usually bestowed upon those conservative christians see as on their team such as this guy. Had he been an atheist and/or liberal somehow I think forgiveness would have been withheld and pitchforks put forward instead - though with this creep I'd not complain.
    12
  132. Monsanto should be protested just for being Monsanto but as for GMOs in general people do have cause for concern - margarine, saccharine, nutra-sweet, corn-syrup, tons of additives. These were things that we were told were not harmful and in fact healthier than their natural counterpart. So there is precedent of chemically changing foods or creating artificials and additives being harmful or at least potentially harmful.

  133. The Right always cries violence whenever people dare to stand up to their bullying.

    11
  143. inalienable rights, conservatard. These were in the Declaration of the Independence which allowed the constitution to come about in the first place

  144. The fact that the Wild West thought guns everywhere was a bad idea should tell you something right there but that type of practicality is lost today.

  151. So you're old enough now to be tried as an adult at 12 but you can't drive till you're 16, can't vote till you're 18, and can't buy a beer until you're 21. Anyone else see a problem with this?
    10
  152. For people who tout personal responsibility they sure like to blame everyone else for any kind of problem out there whether it be the president, immigrants, homosexuals, liberals, Muslims, basically anyone who isn't them. I think latter day historians will label the first two decades of the 21st Century as "The Age of Rightwing Hypocrisy" provided anyone can read by then if rightwingers have their way with the school education system.

  153. A sex offender tries to set fire to a lesbian couple's home with their 8 kids there - that's a Tuesday story in Florida these days

  155. When you hear and read comments like Shep Smith's and all the cowardly anonymous trolls out there, it's small wonder that some don't want to live in a world inhabited with people like them.
    10
  156. Joe the Plumber aka Tactless Guntard is the reason why many people Americans included look at the fervent gun supporters as tactless paranoid nutjobs who care more about guns than anything else. They preach about government tyranny and yet have done nothing to oppose the Patriot Act, NSA, NDAA, drones, Iraq War, etc... The only time any of them came out was to defend a mooching rancher who was using land that didn't belong to him to make a profit off of without paying usage fees. Joe the Plumber and his 2nd Amendmenter ilk are a bunch of useless phonies who would welcome an oppressive theocratic government which favored them so long as it allowed them to keep their precious guns.
    10
  157. 99% of mass shooters were gun owners - fact.
    10
  158. At least they are consistent in their hypocrisy
    10
  159. It would be less about a grab for power but rather to save his ass as long as he can from the slammer

  161. they'd poke holes in the lifeboat just to make libs mad despite drowning as well
    10
  162. Bingo! For years they were told to be polite then Trump came along and said it was ok to be terrible. It empowered them and they don't want to go back to the confined space of good social behavior.

  163.  @wolverinehatescnn4998  1) strawman 2) actually because of science they can be 3) yes there are good muslims 4) yes you are and your "argument" is just more proof of it
    10
  164. To put on my own conspiracy hat, I'd say the reason Bundy and his militia yahoos have not been punished yet as compared to OWS is because Bundy's opposition is to that part of the federal government corporatists want gutted - the regulations and regulatory offices designed to keep them in check. OWS aimed at the heart of the problem the corporatist influence in government so it had to be stomped down. Corporatists would love federal land to be used and abused by private citizens and since corporations are people these days they can now exploit that land for their own profit. There'll be no more environmental bindings about endangered species. The federal government will exist just to rubber stamp corporate enterprises and stomp on any individual efforts to hinder them.

  165. TheQualityrkc Bundy isn't being pushed off his land. His cattle were removed from land that didn't belong to him
    9
  166. TheQualityrkc so he is allowed to make a profit off of land that doesn't belong to him by not paying for its use? If it had been land privately owned by another individual, this would not even be a case. Bundy would have been taken to court and his grazing rights removed by the owner but some freeloaders think public land is their sole right to use 
    9
  167. Andrew Hall we already went thru with that in the 50s&60s when diners refused to serve black people because they were private businesses. You are defending the same kind of discrimination.

  169. We need to get federal assistance to them pronto - oh, wait these guys hate the evil federal gubermint. Didn't they want to be an independent country again anyway? 
    9
  170. Criminals need to be able to have easy access to guns in order for gun manufacturers via their shills like the NRA to promote the need of having a gun to protect yourself from said armed criminals in order to maintain profits.
    9
  171. Conservatives tout personal responsibility and yet continually blame Obama, liberals, minorities, muslims, immigrants, etc... for everything under the sun. With both Ferguson and Baltimore they want to blame the people of those areas and black leaders like Sharpton and not the systemic police and judicial abuse people living there have been suffering from until they had enough.
    9
  172. Trump is a magnet for racists and fascists.
    9
  173. I like alien conspiracy theories! Unlike the anti-government rightwing fueled conspiracies, they're actually less loony, ignorant, and angry and won't typically lead to a shooting. The real question though is which aliens were behind it. I know the Pakman show will blame Alpha Centaurians given their long standing bias against them. I think it was the Pleiadians. It's just the kind of bitchy thing they'd do if you ask me. 
    9
  174. Prosecutors don't care about justice. They want convictions and conservatives want the idea that "bad guys" are being punished so they support these people and elect them to public office because they're "tough on crime."
    9
  175. It's hilarious that Republicans cry voter fraud after the bullshit that happened in Florida in 2000 and all the shit with voter ID laws and gerrymandering.
    9
  176. that family had it coming - they were hoarding a bag of doritos   
    9
  177. also in Switzerland people don't campaign to carry their guns concealed or open into strudel cafes because they aren't knuckle-dragging neanderthals. Plus they all have a certain level of training which cannot be said for all gun owners in the US especially given the number of deaths and injuries and just accidental discharges due to accidents every year.

    9
  181.  @davidr9883  Is sarcasm not a thing in your home country?
    9
  182.  @Alltime2050  true but the mental illness of rightwingers is a collective cult-like mentality that has been brewing for decades rooted not only in their insecurities, paranoia, and fear but also rooted in fundamental issues of our country's history and the uncomfortableness in addressing them.
    9
  183. exactly. What some people don't understand is that trump supporters didn't become supporters because of Trump's own ideas. They became supporters because he said what they wanted to hear without filters. He can only deviate so far from this and like a good con man he knows not to push his luck. In a 2nd Term Trump Presidency, it'd still be Fauci whom Trumpsters hated before the vaccine and other prominent liberals calling for vaccines which would cause the inevitable tribalistic backlash
    9
  184. but no worms, right?
    9
  185. A good friend of mine died earlier this year from Covid before vaccines were readily available after trying his best to avoid Covid. He lived in a red state so I have little sympathy for the idiocy rampant there that helped to lead to his death. I won't gloat but I sure as hell won't feel pity for those brought down by their own stupidity.

  188. ozzyhall I said at the beginning "seem to focus on...not on the other things TYT covers" how did you get that I felt Sargon's job sorry obligation to comment on the other things? The point is that by only focusing on the SJW stuff he and others come off as a one-trick pony that they have beaten to death to the point that is their criticism legitimate or is it heavy with personal bias. As for click bait I would say his recent title is as click-baity as what he excused Pakman since he says TYT is falling apart yet in reality they are still going and hiring journalists. Pakman is just pointing out the inconsistency of his criticism and his actions. Personally IMHO neither were click-baity as they weren't particularly false but I enjoyed the irony.

  189. Pence needed to get some work done and was tired of Trump pacing around muttering about illegal voters and inauguration crowds so he finally said "Hey, why don't you go to a red state like Floridafor a rally to see that people really do like you?" When Trump asked if that would really work, Pence replied "Uh...sure, couldn't hurt...whatever! You can go Disneyworld while you're at it." Trump - "Wheeee!!! Disneyworld!" Pence - "Uh huh...have fun. Call or something...Finally! Now I can to get to work in peace on the executive order authorizing execution of women who get abortions."

  198. further proof of conservatives going batshit insane. Over the last several years they have been claiming the civil rights legacy, proclaiming themselves persecuted, and saying it was Democrats/liberals who were the racists and the Nazis. 
    8
  199. And a number of these same conservatives will try to convince people that democrats/liberals are racist because the KKK was founded by the democrats 150 years ago who also fought against suffrage and civil rights but they will ignore the blatant present day racism and misogyny which is streaming out of the republicans/tea party/conservatives such as the outrage towards this ad. And I wonder how many of these patriots patriotically signed a petition to secede from America the Beautiful in 2012 when the democratic process didn't go their way.

  200. Fox figured since much of their audience base couldn't care less about something going on outside of the country much less even locate France on a map, Fox had to blame Obama somehow just to maintain their viewers' interests into watching.

  201. An intelligent, respectful debate in today's America that actually covers real issues? What a revolutionary idea! He's the opposite end of the lunacy of Trump and corporate shilling of the rest of the Republican candidates and Hillary.

I've got gun nuts on twitter acting like my opinion is equatable to 1984 and Nazis and shit and therefore dangerous. Fanaticism comes so easy to them.
    7
  209. The sad thing is many of the conservatives crowing over this election are going to be just as bad off as how they imagine the liberals will be. Republicans will publicly say the things conservatives want to hear like America #1, marriage between a man and a woman, abortion is bad, etc... then behind the scenes help to disenfranchise their ignorant constituents with policies that aid corporations and the wealthy which of course publicly they'll blame on the Democrats.

  218. It's disingenuousness to water down our involvement in slavery. Being from the South, I can tell you it's a form of mental gymnastics for a number of Southerners to try and tell themselves that slavery wasn't so bad and that black people were happy working in the fields. Anything to avoid responsibility.
    7
  219. You can't reason with these people. Any time there is a mass shooting they'll just stop up their ears and scream "FALSE FLAG!!! FALSE FLAG!!! FALSE FLAG!!!" When a conservative is found to be at fault for whatever reason, they will blame liberals and/or Obama for it or say that liberals and Obama are somehow worse. Then when something is so undeniable like Bundy's racism they say it must be fake. These people live in another reality of paranoia, fear, and misinformation.

  224. Your party just elected conspiracy nuts, hypocrites, and well-known corrupted politicians. What does that say about conservatives? What it says is conservatives have no principles. While I don't agree with progressives not voting most didn't vote out of principle as the Democrat candidates offered little in terms of progress but did conservatives mind voting for a nutcase like Joni, an adulterer like DeJarlais who convinced his wife and mistress to get abortions, or very corrupt official like Governor Scott? No, not at all because they lack any principles when it comes to politics and voting - it's a vote that is cast in ignorance and aggression towards their perceived enemy - Liberals and Obama. If people will be able to read in the future due to inevitable tax cuts to education, they will look back at conservatives of the early 21st century as ignorant paranoid hypocrites who couldn't even follow their own principles.

Somehow I doubt facts will stop the trolls from posting that canard anyway.

  260. when a "liberal" as perceived by conservatives does nefarious deeds they think it reflects on all liberals - ie all gun control advocates are secretly gun runners - whereas when a conservative does bad they'll either defend them or pretend it's just a few bad eggs and hush it up. This story will be used as ammo by the pro-gunners thinking they've got the gun regulators by the balls with this one little realizing that liberals will not defend this guy. Most liberals actually believe in principles and not simply supporting the team. This is the reason why in liberals vs conservatives conflicts, although conservatives are a minority conservatives are able to exert so much influence by toeing the party line regardless of principle because they have this "we're at war" mentality whereas liberals are constantly throwing each other under the bus over principle. It will be lost on the guntards when they scream "What about that gun-running Democrat?" and we answer "He's scum and a hypocrite and I hope he rots in jail." They won't hear that and will assume we love the guy because they would if the situations were reverse like with TN Congressman Desjarlis to name but one who cheated on his wife and advised her and his mistress to get abortions.

David Pakman Show this is basically what I was talking about earlier this year - the unsubscribe trolls who pretend to get angry and threaten to unsub in an effort to try and co-opt a youtuber's opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN2WkFdUdvw I've seen over on TYT several of the same people saying they were unsubbing for over a year now.

  263. what the clueless miss with white privilege is that it doesn't mean if you are white you automatically are ensured of success but in various areas you are less likely to be impeded. You are more likely to be given the benefit of the doubt if only slightly. When getting pulled over the police or knocking on someone's door at night when you've been in a car accident, you're less likely to get shot or beaten, tazed, then shot and then have your school record used against your memory.

  268. conservatives don't care because in their minds they are in a knock-down-drag-out ideological war with liberals so facts be damned in the face of the enemy. While liberals often throw their own under the bus for real offenses or for cowardly appeasement for the sake of neutrality, conservatives will back ideas contradictory to their professed beliefs and support people who are against their best interests and are often appalling hypocrites.
    6
  269. The only thing left for the rightwing to grasp now that everything is showing the cops were in the wrong is their pathetic "but...but..but three of the cops were black!" argument as though somehow that changes what happened or makes the systemic problem of abuse immaterial.  We're dealing with children here incapable deliberately or naturally of dealing with nuance and being able to see the bigger picture. Unfortunately these children keep hindering progress.

    6
  271. This "Sterling is a Democrat" idea is a continuation of ongoing rightwing projection and demonizing of liberals. Lately you find rightwingers arguing that Hitler was a leftist and therefore a liberal and apparently therefore liberals are Nazis etc... because Nazi had the word socialist in it.  Also is the thrown around myth that many mass shooters have been Democrats: http://www.examiner.com/article/the-idea-that-recent-mass-shooters-are-mostly-registered-democrats-is-a-myth What's funny (and disturbing) is that when liberals criticize or make fun of conservatives they generally have it right though perhaps a bit exaggerated when they call conservatives bible-thumping gun-loving hypocrites with racist sexist tendencies. Whereas when conservatives make fun or criticize liberals you get some major projecting going on when they say liberals are racists who don't like free speech and want a totalitarian government. Other times I don't know who the hell they are talking about because rigntwing pundits make so many strawmen it's hard to keep track of them all.

  277. It's a combination of things - 1) unfair media coverage that's heavily slanted against him; 2) when they aren't reporting negatively about Sanders they ignore him; and 3) the method the polling is done is questionable. Bernie has the most individual donors across the country, has raised the most money on small donations, has more followers than the other candidates on social media, has a much larger and more active reddit forum than the other candidates, made a huge splash on Joe Rogan getting over 10 million views in less than 2 months, got a million likes on a climate change tweet which also called Trump an idiot, got record donations after the last debate before having the largest attended rally of any other candidate while getting major endorsements. If the media was fair, Bernie would be the obvious front runner given all these facts but instead you have outlets putting out stories with headlines like "Buttigieg in fourth but a strong fourth" - when Bernie was polling in third they were saying he should drop out. They're shameless.

Trump is the ID of conservative America unleashed after 20+ years of rabid rightwing rhetoric preaching indignation, fear, intolerance, projection, and harping back to rose-tinted nostalgia for days that never really existed. The problem with him in office is that he has emboldened the irrational and made acceptable what was socially unacceptable before.

  282. It's hilariously ironic that the people who call liberals godless commies practically worship a man who is buddy buddy with a former KGB leader of the very commies their beloved Saint Reagan was so vehemently against. If Obama had behaved this way, there would have been less opposition from democrats and many liberals if impeachment was brought against him either over possible collusion or mental impairment but that's because more people on the Left (not all unfortunately but more) actually have principles.
    6
  283. Republicans have a knack for going for style over substance. They idolize the ones who act tough but never did anything like John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, Bush Jr, Trump, and any rightwing actor they saw on a movie screen shooting big guns. They don't comprehend that these kinds will always be missing when things get real and the civil war they keep hoping for won't have any of them charging from the front.

  288. there is definitely that but it's more to do with tribalism. They will accept a black person who espouses their views and more importantly denounces liberals. Obama's crime was being both black and a Democrat. But look at Bill Clinton. He's a white southerner yet he is loathed by the rightwing. They went so far as to actually impeach him over an affair that had no impact on any policy whatsoever. Since the 90s the rightwing has been conditioned through a variety of sources to despise liberals on such a visceral level that they would practically sink a lifeboat they are in just to spite a liberal. This is why they are so willing to give a former democrat who speaks their lingo so many passes on issues that they would have hanged Obama and Bill Clinton on. In short, they are so far gone in their tribalistic insanity there is no reasoning with them and if we can stop the gerrymandering and voter suppression we wouldn't and shouldn't have any serious discussion with these insane ignorant people anymore.

Ironically the past they wanted to cling to was often forward-thinking and innovative. US conservatives fail to understand this in their rosy-tinted nostalgia of the past which is why they are such a danger to the country they profess to love and the progressive spirit which it was founded on.

  321. The argument that most mass shooters are Democrats is in the same category as Hitler was a liberal/leftist myth. The Right has given up on real arguments and have instead gone for desperate distraction tactics while many of their followers actually believe these myths having repeated them so many times. It has an uncomfortable connection with holocaust deniers by using a similar tactic which is to get people to argue and discuss these issues thus giving some sense of validity to their outlandish arguments. Carl Rove is currently doing the same by talking about Hillary Clinton and brain damage and getting the mass media to seriously discuss something no one thought about 2 years ago.  However it's a Catch22, if we argue, we give validity but if we ignore it, the myths fester and grow. Ultimately though it shows the big divide in this country. You have one segment of the population so caught up in these myths who hate anything they perceive as liberal that they will believe anything negative about them regardless if there is any logic or rationality behind it.

  335. Sandy A I think it has more to do with the history of the situation when the parents, grandparents, and/or great-grandparents were pushed off their land living in occupied territory that is constantly encroached upon by settlers and when Israel retaliates to some ineffectual rockets they end up killing thousands. But no they'd all be happy as larks if it weren't for the brainwashing.
    5
  336. Sandy A it is not an age-old conflict. It only goes back a hundred years or less as the conflicts really started after WWI. And it doesn't matter that it wasn't as many Arabs pushed off their land as being claimed now (your argument sounds suspiciously similar to a rather odious denial type). It still happened and that memory is fresh and bitter. Trying to claim it's just brainwashing is to discredit their grievances as is calling them simply "Arabs" in an effort to deprive them of an identity.

  337. rondragon The disingenuousness of rightwing Israelis and their supporters is flabbergasting. They'll say "well, the hamas shot rockets from a school so it's their fault that we had no choice but to completely obliterate those largely ineffectual rockets with our missiles!" Here's an idea - don't blow up the school. The chances of the hamas having much of an armed presence around those rockets is rather small. A well trained strike force could take them out with snipers and assault tactics but they don't want to do that preferring to just blow the rockets up along with anyone else in the area.

They are so desperate for a strong leader who "tells it like it is" after the disaster that was the Bush Presidency and having to endure the international popularity of a black democrat president who was competent at his job that they latched on to this huckster. And that really is what Trump is at his core - he's a con man and what con men do best is get people to willingly do what he wants. Trump never could have done this in 2000 or 2008 because conditions were not ripe enough (and perhaps he didn't have dementia then either). By 2015 he likely saw how impervious to facts much of the rightwing base was (the whole Birther thing was a testing of the waters no doubt) and decided to speak their language while holding no punches which got him nominated out of 15 other candidates. He essentially highjacked the rightwing base right from under the GOP with his Pied Piper tactics, a base they had been conditioning through Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, rightwing radio, etc...for the last two decades. But again, he could not have done so if those people weren't already in that state of mind to begin with.

They have been brainwashed into thinking Democrats are liberals and that liberals are commie nazi baby killers who want to destroy America. Progressives need to wake up and realize what has been going on for the last few decades. It's gone beyond simply a difference of opinions - it's war and has been for years. The Republicans have created this warlike mentality amongst their constituents that they are at war with people who want to destroy America. This is why conservative voters will vote against their best interests and against their own principles because they feel they have to defeat this dreaded liberal enemy. Anyone growing up blue in a red state should be well aware of this. This is why conservative voters will vote for someone like DesJarlais despite his affairs and abortions. All's fair in love and war and war calls for desperate measures so principles be damned.

It's that liberals have gotten fed up with being called traitors and unamericans by so-called patriots and we grown tired of all the ridiculous conspiracy theories against Obama.

  416. whyamimrpink78 spare a southerner your revisionist history bullshit because I've heard it for years. Southerners and conservatives in general have a hard time owning up to their own faults preferring to project them onto their opponents while they paint a rosy picture of the past draped in nostalgia. The Civil Rights Act was needed because southern states were trampling on the constitutional rights of black citizens. That flag was raised in support of segregation and Jim Crow laws so fuck it and anyone who supports that particular flag. As for Northern racists, they existed and do exist now but you don't have people in general trying to defend them or make excuses for them.

  417. FilterExel They didn't rebel against the Union but the United States. As a southerner I get some of the resentment stored up from the defeat of the Civil War but we have to realize our own part in it. Lincoln didn't start the war. The South did by first seceding specifically over fears of Lincoln's perceived anti-slavery stance then by firing on Ft Sumter. Then in the aftermath Jim Crow laws were inflicted on blacks to impede their progress and their rights while 4000 were lynched over the decades. Yet they want to brush all of that aside with a scarce acknowledgement and act like they are misrepresented

I thought Ana's video was nuanced and the kind of thing I expect from progressives - to be hard on progressive candidates as opposed to being soft like the corporate media is with rightwing and corporate democrat politicians. The reaction she got surprised me and Gabbard or her team insisting she not be present in the interview is troubling to say the least. It was not a good move on their part IMHO. The ugliness of the 2016 primaries is threatening to raise its head again. If Gabbard gets close to the nomination will other candidate supporters (ie mainly Bernie) be commanded to support Gabbard or else?

  447. Arguing with much less trying to convince Trumpsters is ultimately a waste of time as many of them are so lost in their brainwashing that they pathologically loathe liberals in a kneejerk fashion where compromise or civil discourse isn't even an option, they are so riddled with psychological disorders from paranoia to cognitive dissonance to projection and overall many of them are simply ignorant and myopic. This is why the corporate Democrat approach of trying to woe some of the moderate right over to them is doomed to failure. They need to be marginalized as the extremists they are and not treated as normal. Ironically, by doing this we can better help them with better medical care, infrastructure, educational reform, etc...

Look to sum up: Bundy said he had ancestral rights to graze on the land that was before the federal ownership of the land. That was in error. The federal government owned it from the beginning after the Mexican War. The BLM was established in 1946.  The Bundy family did not buy their particular plot of land until 1948. They did not begin raising cattle until 1954 which they grazed on public land. Bundy paid his grazing fees until 1993. The BLM sent him numerous warnings over a 20-year period including their plan to remove his trespassing cattle. There was no Harry Reid/China solar plant involvement in the Bundy situation. You have been misled and misinformed.

A large number of them live in states that enforced Jim Crow laws and either they or their parents or grandparents supported those laws. Now so desperate to hold onto their guns that no one is coming to take they are embracing Civil Rights an issue that made most of the south become Republican over when the Democrats started to support it.

Here we have a guy who lied about his family's history which only goes back to 1948 and ranching only to 1954. He hasn't paid his fees for 20 years and therefore his cattle were trespassing.

What is dangerous in getting people to understand that Islam is not some monolithic cultural political religious entity but rather a diverse multi-ethnic multi-cultural multi-national and multi-sect collection in which individual circumstances need to be look at? This has been my biggest gripe over the whole fiasco. I find many of Harris' fans willfully ignorant of the various peoples under the umbrella called Islam as they just want to focus on written (translated) 7th century text without any of the cultural and historical context and start slinging barbs. Harris fanboys need to understand it's not so much people like myself are saying "don't criticize Islam ever!" We are saying if you are going to criticize Islam make yourself available to the information that is out there in order to make better informed criticisms otherwise what really separates you from Fox news and their ilk? Also be cognitive of how you come off. The problem with Maher and Harris is they come off as ignorant outsiders who are seen by some as Israeli apologists and so their message of criticism just aimed at the ideology and not the people is going to fall on deaf ears of many muslims. What you had that night on Maher was basically outsiders arguing for and against a person who wasn't in the room. And at the end of the day this notion of Reza's thinking being dangerous ignores the real danger. Islam as a whole hasn't pushed us to the brink of environmental disaster with global warming nor are Islamic countries bombing, droning, occupying other countries (most of them muslim) while controlling and exploiting their resources all the while supporting both the most oppressive regime in the Islamic world and what is perceived by many in the region as an expansive European/American Jewish colony.  That is the real danger - a befuddled foreign policy driven by a muddled myriad of purposes both out of greed and ideology. This more than the Koran or Reza is what ISIS is using to justify their actions and recruit impressionable people to their cause.

Sure the Democrats were damn dumb in their approach in this election but the progressive were even dumber by not voting and allowing people into office or keep their office who are anti-progressive. The Republicans constantly bank on progressive apathy to win at the state and congress level. The problem is too many progressives are pseudo-intellectuals who have deluded themselves into thinking they are clever by not voting in a corrupt system. Thanks to that we not only got non-progressives elected we got nutcases who think the UN is going to force into hobbit homes and Hilary Clinton is the Anti-Christ! What kind of message does that send to the world about us? We talk about islamic fundamentalists and yet we voted actively and apathetically for people who are fundamentalists and conspiracy theorists! Progressives need to wise up and see that they are being played for fools.

  556. The problem is the gun nuts will just tout Fast&Furious believing that F&F represents 500% of the 70% of those weapons rather than the fact that the vast majority of US guns which find their way south of the border come thru legal purchases at gun shows and gun shops, thru straw purchases, and private sales from American gun owners. This is why there is so much resistance to tracking gun purchases. Certain "legal" American gun owners don't want it known where their guns are going after they've bought them nor do some want it known where their conveniently "stolen" guns keep ending up. Also it's a matter of shifting the blame. Rather than acknowledge the fact that the many of the guns in the hands of the cartels are a result of America's over-abundance of guns and our poor regulation of them, they just blame their usual scapegoat - the big bad evil gubermint.

I don't agree with Pakman here and his silly assertion that Reza is somehow dangerous philosophically speaking but I'm not going to unsub just because of that. We live in a world where people are not always going to agree with each other. That's life. And you unsubbed to MR - a channel that has what? a dozen at best vids on the Harris/Affleck/Aslan fiasco? Out of how many videos? A thousand? IMHO this whole thing has flushed out a lot of intolerance and ignorance which has been festering in the circles of supposedly liberal free-thinkers where clueless dolts think they are automatically intelligent just because they choose the opposite ideological brand from the conservatives and where they pick and choose what fits their mode of thinking discarding the rest without a second glance. Instead of unsubbing (and worse writing down on the channel in a childish passive-aggressive way) people need to listen to all sides and come to a decision for themselves.

  571. ***** Given that FGM predates Islam by more than millennia and from another continent, I think it safe to conclude that FGM and Islam are not intricately linked. How is Aslan's rhetoric detrimental to the discussion? He was shooting down two CNN hosts who were throwing everything and the kitchen sink without any connection to each other because they have little knowledge of those regions. And this is the crux of the matter - whether right or left we suffer from too much general ignorance but that doesn't stop us from barging in throwing generalizations and blames every which way.
    3
  572. ***** You are making less sense as you warble on. Do you not get it? FGM is no more connected to Islam than it is to Christianity or any outside culture that has been adopted. Even if Buddhism had spread there they would continue or even secularism as they would use science to justify their practice. "Should I take Aslan's absence in your previous post as an implicit agreement that he is a detrimental to the discussion?" Seriously, WTF are you babbling about?
    3
  573. ***** no my comment was about why is it bad to look further into situations and that Aslan was right in taking two CNN hosts to task for being ignorant. You busted in screaming FGM, Islam, and Aslan are all connected and won't let it go despite me telling you the fact that FGM predates Islam and started on another continent. You're like some obsessed asperger sufferer who cannot let something go and repeat the same thing over and over again.
    3
  574. ***** whatever, dude. I find it ironic that you keep saying Aslan is detrimental to the FGM issue when it was only a talking point made to show how Maher and later the CNN hosts were ignorant of both Islam and that part of the world. In fact it is you who are detrimental to the FGM problem with your obsessive mountain out of a molehill over one talking point. Had Alsan made numerous attempts to stop people from discussing FGM you might be on something (other than your medication) but that is not the case here. You refuse to look beyond the fact that FGM predates Islam and originated on another continent and is not heavily practiced in the areas where Islam first began and had its centers of power and influence from Mecca to Damascus to Baghdad to Istanbul. It originated in Pre-Islamic/Pre-Christian central africa. The Greeks wrote about the practice in Ancient Egypt. The influx of those religions and modern influences have had little affect on stopping the practice despite christian and islamic leaders preaching against it.  Attacking Islam and Aslan(?) over FGM is missing the target by a mile. I think you care less about FGM and care more about using it to sling mud at Aslan and Islam. This is why you not Aslan are ultimately detrimental to the discussion. You want to focus on the superficial and play your cute pseudo-intellectual word games while refusing to acknowledge that FGM is a deeply rooted issue not to be simply solved by blaming a religion that came long after it. I'm sorry but you offer nothing and are as clueless and useless as those CNN hosts - plus I think you have some issues you need to work out with a professional.

  580. The demonizing of incels isn't helping either and just further fuels the self-loathing and victimization complex. These aren't entitled rich guys with power or influence. Many of them were or are being bullied and mocked in junior and high school by their peers causing some of them to go down dark paths aided by certain internet forums which pile on the aforementioned self-loathing and victimization. The incel issue is a multifaceted multi-layered problem that can't be solved simply by legalizing prostitution or putting them all under government surveillance. They are more a dark byproduct of a society that stigmatizes both sex work and paying for sex (even though rich guys hit up escorts and sugar babies all the time), a society that emphasizes personal success lies in shallow sexual conquest and having the perfect partner(s) which is based on materialism (materialism reinforced by advertising and marketing), a subculture of the internet that feeds on and spreads negativity, and wrapped around it all is undiagnosed mental illnesses due to low quality healthcare. Throw in declining education standards and manipulation by socio-political movements like the Alt-right which try to make feminism as part of some kooky communist plot to take over the world and you get incels: yet another modern primarily first world problem to distract us from our encroaching societal collapse and potential extinction from climate change.

  638. I used to like conspiracy theories - I saw them as a bit of junkfood for the brain while making you think outside the box and question assumptions. However, the rightwing has so poisoned conspiracy theories that they've made them more laughable than ever. Whereas previous conspiracy theorists would go to great lengths to expose some hidden esoteric cabal these shallow nitwits just come to the same simplistic conclusions that usually revolve around "the gubermint is com in' fer yer guns!!!" And now the death of a 79 year old heavyset smoker in a stressful job, these dipshits think Obama had him murdered. Why he waited till the last year of his presidency when he could have had this thorn removed at the first is beyond me. And a pillow over his face? Don't you think the government paid assassin would have done the easiest thing possible which is to have removed the pillow?

No these laws are aimed at the undesirable poor who they see as moochers and democrat voters. In their minds, these people will get abortions to avoid having kids they can't afford to raise. That's the target of the anti-abortionists because there is a higher chance of the children born in those environments who will turn to crime and thus feed the system of private prisons and the legal system of cops, judges, lawyers, bail bondsmen, etc...

And it's not my fault you fail to understand the concept of the word "or" as I wrote charging a 12 year old as an adult OR botching an execution OR executing someone with a 60 level IQ (as has been done in Texas) does nothing but make us look backward and barbaric.

  647. fightttttt no, it's people like you who don't get it who continue to make the US a laughingstock by making us look backward and primitive. Might as well bring back public hangings.

  650. This is a culmination of 20+ years of rightwing rhetoric pumping an alternative reality of fear, paranoia, intolerance, projection. This has been building since the days of Waco with the fears of black helicopters and UN takeovers of the US. The difference is back then it was more on the fringe but with the rise of rightwing media and the so-called mainstream media being "balanced" in giving equal time to ridiculousness, these nutjobs have multiplied. Thanks to rightwing sites, they have created this vast echo-chamber bubble where they have fed on each other paranoia building up early conspiracy theories to the point where they have created another reality that seems more real to them than the one the rest of us inhabit.

  655. The powers-that-be want to ignore what set this off and that Freddie Grey was not an isolated incident any more than the Ferguson protests were only over Mike Brown. Baltimore has a history of police abuse and Grey was the straw that broke the camel's back.
    2
  656. I've run with the bulls a total of 7 times at two San Fermines. If it was just that the festival would be alright but the bulls are killed that afternoon in the bullring. I've mixed feelings about it as the Spaniards say - better the bull ring than the slaughterhouse. I saw a few fights up close in Seville and found it a bit disturbing especially when one began to bellow in pain. Can't say I feel too much sympathy for the matadors.  From what I understand the country is rather divided over the issue as many northern spaniards feel it is a southern spain tradition and not part of theirs.

  657. All those years fighting the gay until he finally got it in the end. Good for him.
    2
  658. ***** no, you don't watch and listen. Many if not most watch with closed minds then posting critical comments which often are strawman argument of what they have imagined they heard. I have seen enough of your arguments to see this trend again and again.  Conservatives are generally uncomfortable with different opinions and so they attempt to fight them or co-opt them.

  671. Someone robs a liquor store and hurts no one goes to jail for 5-10 years maybe more for a crime that barely affects anyone. Bankers cause an economy to fail which leads to lost jobs and untold number of deaths and misery from poverty, suicide, alcoholism, depression, etc... and they get no punishment. We need to re-assess punishments based on who is more dangerous to society.

    2
  679. The fact that Reagan was an actor fits in with the Republican idolization of him. It's all myth and illusion. The image Reagan promoted absolved people of guilt and personal responsibility. You could be greedy and not worry about the repercussions. Greed was good, America #1, and to hell with anyone who disagreed.

  685. FreedFenrir spare us your faux outrage! If police harshly condemned and punished the actions of these few bad cops (who are spread out throughout the country apparently) instead of giving them suspension with pay which is basically vacation time then people would not think so badly of police as a whole. I loved the "immoral comments" line but you really are laying it thick

  690. I think this is an issue more with conservatives than liberals/progressives. To me party affiliation hardly matters but rather more important is the person's words and deeds. This is why when gun-lovers bring up Senator Yee a gun control democrat recently busted for gun trafficking, I say I don't care that he is Democrat or favors gun control because he is first and foremost a criminal (allegedly). His crimes don't negate the arguments in favor of gun regulation. However, the opposite is the case with Cliven Bundy who is breaking the law and is a racist and yet some people still support him because they themselves are anti-government and scarcely closeted racists. With Yee he betrayed the ideals he pretended to believe in much like any con-artist would and gun control people would want him punished for actively doing the opposite of what he pretended to stand for. Bundy supporters support him because he pretty much represents their viewpoint.
    2
  691. FUreplygirl lol! Bundy is your old school racist in that he doesn't think his viewpoint is as such because that's just the way people thought 50 years ago. He lacks the sensitivity and awareness to realize this.

  692. oh, fuck you! If she hadn't lived in a society of paranoid 2nd Amendment gun nuts to the point where she had to have a loaded gun in her purse while shopping at Walmart, she'd be alive today.

    2
  693. Ravinian Don't tell a person how they should behave or act in this kind of situation especially on their own show. The problem is liberals have been too soft because of cowardly shits like you who don't want to offend anyone. Has it worked? Fuck no! The country is half insane because we have given lunacy legitimacy due to a fear of driving people away. 
    2
  694. Ravinian What people on the other side are going to be receptive? It's been 2 years since a madman gunned down 20 kids and we have more guns and more insane talking points of false flags and Obama is coming for your guns than we did before. 
    2
  695. Ravinian How am I censoring you? Telling you to shut up is not censoring. Check a dictionary if you aren't sure. Also he was mocking the NRA and gun nut rhetoric which deserves to be mocked
    2
  696. Ravinian And I think you are an overreacting ninny, thus my response. We have been too coddling of insanity for far too long. I know you mean well but seriously get out of the way.
    2
  697. Remember that sermon where Jesus told the leper to fuck off and get a job? I am so tired of this group of people who claim they are patriotic and christian but their every word and deed flies in the face of both.

  704. Trump was on a reality show. He knows most people especially the media is easily distracted with juicy stories while they ignore more important issues. Bannon is a hack journalist with a career of riling people on both sides. A "muslim ban" is the jangling of keys in front of us to distract us. I think they want to get the media and various groups scrambling about reporting and protesting various aspects of Trump's administration while Trump and/or his cronies loot the country blind.

England - work and drink with a lot of Brits. they're a fun bunch to watch football (soccer to the yanks) with as long as it's outside of their country. Japan - living here so have to support Japan mainly just to see happy cute Japanese fan girls Japan vs Cote D'Ivoire FIFA World Cup 2014 - Brief Commentary with Cute Fans last time when they went thru to the second round, Shibuya was crazy World Cup - Japanese Celebrate Going to 2nd Round Against Denmark

  709. I'm one of those who straddles the fence between the devouts and the atheists on this issue as I believe we cannot truly know especially with our limitations; however, I don't think this sort of doubt or speculation has any place in a science class but rather in a philosophy/metaphysical setting. Sure, science is a lot of speculation but not in flights of fancy or things that cannot be readily proven or with intelligent design - jumping to ready-made conclusions. Overall, I distrust "intelligent design" because it's very disingenuous in pretending to just wonder about the origins of life and the universe. It seems to me to be of more of getting a foot in the door or rather a foothold in the ongoing war religious conservatives are waging against science.
    2
  710. After pushing the fake news of birtherism, I think it karmic justice that Trump receive the same. Coming on the heels of satanic child-sex rings, it's funny to watch Trumpsters defend pizzagate while hotly denying pissgate. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Public land is not for the private use of individuals to have their cattle eat resources and shit all over the place in an area where they were never indigenous to begin with. That's not how a free society works. You lunkheads would have us back down in the mines 16 hours a day working for company script in this misguided misinformed notion of a free society

  715. How much money and time is going to be wasted on this dead horse? I think this is an effort to 1) gin up their base for the 2014 mid-term elections; 2) preparing for a Clinton presidential run in 2016; and 3) hamper Obama if the mid-term elections don't favor the Republicans.

  724. filonin2 no, they are not equivalent. Mansplaining may be an overplayed meme (but what meme isn't?) but here it goes back to original meaning because that's exactly what this shithead Walker is doing. Many commentators are more angry about the word than what Walker said and who he is. Personally I find it amusing to see a bunch of "irate" commentators (a number of whom I've never before on a Pakman vid) choking on their faux rage.
    2
  725. filonin2 because Walker is being sexist in his comments. It's not sexist to call out a sexist nor racist to call out a racist.

Anyway, eyes front - the bigger issue is as mentioned before is how many of those KKK members are cops and are a part of the judicial system such as lawyers both prosecution and defense, judges, prison wardens, prison owners&shareholders, etc... If you're a minority you would really have the deck stacked against you if you fell afoul the law and the cops arresting you are KKK, your defense is KKK and obligated to plea bargain you into a KKK-owned prison, and the judge who sentences you is KKK. This is why that information should be made public. And those named who hold such positions be heavily investigated.

That's been the whole problem here - too many self-righteous ignorant intolerant yahoos yelling about something they don't understand because they're feelings were hurt when their chosen icon was attacked. For the record I've never read Alsan or Harris but am arguing solely from the points they have made on Maher, CNN, and TYT and more importantly in reaction to the more dangerous Harris fanboy reaction all this has brought about. I say dangerous because it shows intolerance to contrary opinions, self-righteousness, a willful ignorance not to look at context, and giving rationalizations to those who want to continue to war and exploit those regions we are currently warring and exploiting. In short I see little difference in their overall actions than I do in Fox News, Beck, and O'Reilly who have all supported Maher and Harris in the wake of all this.

  785. Car deaths and injuries have always been high because cars are used by far more people far more often on a daily basis and are subject to a myriad of things like weather, car problems, problems with a driver, traffic conditions, momentary distractions, etc...however despite this, car fatality rates have gone down because of the number of safety regulations on cars and roads. The deaths and injuries by guns which are used less frequently and by fewer people in comparison to cars shows they are and always have been the more dangerous of the two plus fewer regulations have been implemented to make them safer or less available to the general public

  793. s stevenson Well, why weren't there islamic suicide bombers prior to WWII? Is it because this would require you to dig deeper than your superficial conclusions that Islam is to blame? Are you seriously suggesting that if Islam were magically removed that suicide bombing would also magically disappear? Are they blowing themselves up just for the promises of hot dates in Paradise?

    2
  795. s stevenson basically my point is if you can stop being so obtuse in your line of thinking is that the socio-political situations did not exist previously which has more to do with present day suicide bombing than simply  a 1400 year old religion or technology though both of which are used to recruit and carry out the attacks.

What person writes like this, really? Lot of effort from a no content channel. FYI it's this kind of shit that got Hillary un-elected because she sounded similar ringing hokey and not genuine. If you really want to help Tulsi then stop writing and talking like a political bot spewing press releases. If anything you have proved what I've been saying about the no content being little more than disingenuous players pretending to be the regular joe/jill out there when they are clearly not.

  830. very true. I've been saying that Trump represents the ID of the Republican base after decades of steady propaganda full of indignation, paranoia, and abject fear. However, Trump has ginned that base up speaking directly to their programmed minds that they seem him as their only hope until the next one comes along who can do the same. They're basically Brown Shirts waiting for a Dictator to tell them what to do.

  832. The trouble with Tulsi is although she has taken great stances now her number of 180 degree turns in recent times can make one wonder about the strength of her convictions or her political savvy-ness of reading how the wind is blowing. Even championing Assange seems an opportunistic niche she has carved to set her apart from the other candidates for the sake of virtue signaling. Yes, it's an important issue but where does that issue fall in terms of priority? The whole Assange thing smells of political distraction designed to split opinions and distract from the bigger issues of Americans dying due to a lack of healthcare, poor infrastructure, an opioid crisis, lack of income, and climate change.

  850. The issue about the polls is they don't seem to line up with what a lot of people are seeing for themselves and seem more in line with Chomsky's manufactured consent. That some of the polls are finally showing some love for Bernie is likely a sign that support for Bernie is so strong that it's difficult to mask effectively anymore. Even with negative or no press, Bernie has been hitting it out of the park a lot unlike the other candidates. He went on Fox NEws where the other candidates refused to go which made them look both scared and elitist and he did very well getting a number of people in GOP country to rethink their evaluation of him. He had a great interview with Joe Rogan that got over 10 million views in less than two months with more positive commentary from people saying it opened their eyes. Bernie has more followers on social media and a more active reddit forum than the other candidates. One of his tweets not so long ago on climate change calling Trump an idiot got over 1 million likes. He's got more individual small-time donors than any other candidate and has raised the most money. Despite the heart attack and the negative press that followed, Bernie went on to hold the largest attended rally of any candidate in the primary while getting major progressive endorsements. And these are just some of the amazing things that have happened. What other candidate can compare to all this? If the DNC and the media weren't so corrupt Bernie would be far higher in the polls even as questionably done as they are.
    2
  851. Much of the rightwing base has been indoctrinated by decades of rabid rightwing rhetoric and projection to the point they believe any conspiracy no matter how outlandish if it's about liberals being bad. Trump maybe a bad businessman but he's sharp conman and gullible people are a con man's bread and butter. He became a Pied Piper to this group during Obama's presidency and now the GOP is scared of their base because the base is fiercely and insanely supportive of Trump that to criticize Trump would be political suicide at this point.

  854.  @mattheww797  you need to trump to tell you everything? Talk about sheep.
    2
  855. Some people will respond that the same reaction happens with Bernie but the big difference is many of the attacks on Bernie are factually untrue and can be easily proven with facts such as Mimi Rocah saying she thinks Bernie is not an ally of women and the response was to show decades of speeches showing his support of women's issues and being made an honorary woman by Gloria Steinem in the 90s thus showing Rocah's "critique" incorrect. Or there was the time Hillary asked "Where was Bernie during my Healthcare Reform?" which got cheers from her crowd then immediately photos&bills surface showing Bernie was right behind her. On the other hand with Tulsi and other candidates, they all have moments when they were on the wrong side of history such as Tulsi and LGBTQ issues and Israel but because they have "changed" we are supposed to not be troubled by the lack of consistency. When attacked with facts not lies or distortions, their followers react negatively because they know there is validity to the criticism.

They want to hear that minorities are criminals, that liberals are evil, that communism is bad, etc... and they will give all their money to grifters like Trump, Alex Jones, Ben Shapiro, Fox, OAN, etc... to keep being fed with this.

  869.  @sharlharmakhis280  there's also a fair bit of manipulation going on by grifters for money or political purposes.

  871. They'll try to split the progressive vote by getting the various supporters to attack each other while their corporate candidate quietly takes the delegates. They also use anti-Trumpism and blame Bernie and "bernie bros" for being directly responsible for Trump's election. They'll call him a hypocrite on his tax plan and his net worth. They'll tie him to the Russians. They blame him for whichever stance he takes with Assange. They'll use the superdelegates against him. They'll try to limit his media exposure as much as possible. They'll attack as being old (ignoring Pelosi and Biden's age) and being too radical. However, this isn't 2016 so the DNC will have their work cut out for them. The public now knows they cheated Bernie in the last primaries and they won't tolerate a West Virginia and similar states where he won the votes but the delegates went toward Hillary. There's no Hillary for the hillbots to rally around nor her deep pockets for David Brock types to mount a Correct the Record campaign. And they are going to have a harder time limiting media access since we know they did it before. The main problem I see if splitting the progressives so their pick can slide past. We need to be careful of this.
    2
  872. more like the Hillary correct the record shill cult. Is Brock working on her campaign?

  881.  @puffy_vegas7610  You see, your type of criticism of Bernie is different than the criticism of the cult of personality. It's not about defending the Dear Leader from any blemish but pointing out the inaccurate criticism. Funding support for the troops in a war already going on is not the same as voting to go to war in the first place. In contrast the criticism of Trump, Hillary, Beto, Gabbard by progressives are on actual policy issues which their fans know they have no excuse for hence why there develops a cult because a cult doesn't need facts only belief.

  882.  @captain_context9991  Trump is Trump because he tells his supporters what they want to hear that's why they became his supporters in the first place not because of anything original he had to say. Them booing him for saying take the vaccine is proof of that.

  892. I've been saying this for quite some time. I thought those who listen to Rush Limbaugh back in the 90s were somewhat reality-challenged but after 20+ years of rabid vitriolic rightwing rhetoric the minds of many rightwingers have been poisoned to the point they'll accept any theory no matter how insane so long as it's anti-liberal in some way. They have been conditioned like a Pavlov's Dog to foam at the mouth at anything liberal. This isn't about a difference of opinion. This is about a portion of the population which is dangerously programmed to ignore undeniable facts. This is how Trump was able to win and how Bannon is able to manipulate him and his core supporters.

We are not sympathizing with the murderer and/or condoning their deed. It's the principle of the matter. This something you vengeance-seekers continually fail to understand. Charging a 12 year old as an adult or botching an execution resulting in a constitution-violating punishment or executing someone with 60 level IQ serves little purpose except to make our society appear backwards and barbaric.
    1
  917. ***** "Trying him as a minor would almost assuredly see him out on the streets killing by the age of 21." Assumption.  "You also make the assumption that a 12 year old has an IQ of 60." No, you're assuming I was making an assumption that a 12 year old has an IQ of 60 because apparently you don't understand the concept of "or" or that Texas has executed criminals with that level of IQ.
    1
  918. ***** "When people live and act as barbarians, they are treated as such." Again, you miss the point - continually. This is not about the criminal but the society. You say you are about vengeance but that is what you keep coming back to. How a society deals with its criminals is an important aspect of that society's progress and civilization. We are about the only the first world country that imprisons and executes criminals at such high numbers. That doesn't say much about us as a society that we have a larger prison population than just about anywhere else. A 12 year old is not an adult neither emotionally or biologically or societally.  Charging a 12 year old as an adult even for a heinous crime like murder makes us look like we only a step away from bringing back public hangings and the stocks. You may like the Middle Ages but many of us would rather move forward not backwards.

  922. ***** well said. The spread of radicalized Islam goes hand in hand with the post-911 world and how we have responded which is poorly thought out. We have helped the terrorists and radicals do their jobs for them by constantly bungling with drones and the like on one hand and anti-islamic rhetoric on the other. We've allowed idiots to dictate our policy and given voice to the morons and haters and look where it has gotten us.

  923. shirehorse91 be quiet, child. You are splitting hairs over nothing while missing the point deliberately.

  924. Zetarrino because they grew up in France where there has been discrimination against muslims plus their parents were from Algiers a former French colony but we know from their history that the US invasion of Iraq and the later treatment of prisoners of Abu Garaib did have an affect on them and motivated them to participate. The elder brother spent time in a French prison for this so as you can see it ties together.
    1
  925. Zetarrino I never said these dipshits were geniuses. It was obviously a desperate symbolic gesture of solidarity they were going for. Instead of hitting some government building or an anti-immigration rightwing group they decided to go after a satirical newspaper. They were dumbfucks and cowards but to ignore the background they came from is perilous. More terrorists have sprung up since our "War on Terror" than there ever were before. We seriously need to take a long look at what we are doing because what we have been doing hasn't worked.

  934. nomestar100 my point is most places don't have that problem. With Mexico, the problem is actually with the US. Many guns bought at gun shows and thru loopholes in the US make their way south. It's not that the US is being bombarded by blackmarket guns from Mexico but the opposite.
    1
  935. nomestar100 it has nothing to do with the government controlling the black market because it's a black market. It's about availability. The amount of legal gun ownership is what drives the fuels the current gun black market in the US and subsequently keeps the prices down. Guns are easily procured thru many channels from burglaries to illicit sales from legal owners.

They got cattle that was trespassing on federal land which Bundy did not have a right to since he refused to pay the grazing fees - probably because they didn't have enough money due to people like Bundy not paying - nothing to do with this story - does that change the fact that Bundy lost in court and refused to comply with a court order long before Kornze was appointed?

  981. MetalDetroit what do illegal aliens have to do with Bundy not paying his grazing fees? Nothing. Bundy is wrong and has been wrong since the beginning. the federal government has owned that land since the 1840s. Bundy's family did not arrive until 1948 and didn't start grazing cattle until 1954 8 years after BLM had been formed. Also the Nevada state constitution allows for federal ownership of land so take it up with the Nevada state government - you're all about states' rights, right? (Except when they don't fit your narrow view) And I did not say anything about Bundy not being a capitalist - he is in the sense of exploiting to his advantage. What I was saying is his militia supporters are reminiscent of the brownshirts/SA who existed before the rise of Mussolini and Hitler to power. They are dissatisfied with this current government but a rightwing theocratic government which favored them they would be in complete support of.

  999. I unfortunately agree. As much as I think we should stay out, the fact is the current situation and looming potential bloodshed is a direct result of our invasion in 2003 over bogus charges. I admit I was more ambivalent in 2003. I didn't think going in was a good idea by a long shot but taking down someone like Hussein didn't seem like a bad thing. I naively thought Bush&co had some clue of the situation over there and that they had an exist strategy. By the time of "Mission Accomplish" I realized they had no clue what they were doing and didn't understand the history and socio-politics of the area. If we have to become more invested in Iraq I think we should go after the people that got us into Iraq. Fuck this Benghazi hearing shit! Put the people on trial who got us into this mess which has cost far more lives 10x more than 911 which was not even related.

  1002. Every myth has some grain of truth that grows as the generations pass. Most of your pagan gods no doubt come from legendary tribal leaders from the misty past who got mixed with their tribal gods as time wore on. With Jesus you have a much more narrow window when there was no Christian cult to when there was - roughly a 50-year span. I don't think someone just made up a Christ Messiah out of the blue in that short period.  As to often cited why first century writers make little to no reference to Jesus - 1) you have to realize not every written source survived the ages; 2) the Christian cult began from a very very small group who really had very few followers until after the death of Christ; 3) this small cult began in what to Rome was a backwater province - we tend to over emphasis the importance of Israel retrospectively - so why would roman writers during the time of the historical Jesus write or even be aware of someone in the outskirts of the Empire whose miracles weren't all that spectacular for a people whose gods fought hydras and dragons. Other factors to consider why there is little contemporary physical evidence that we can find today - 1) the Jewish Revolt which led to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Any written records of a Jesus having been there, having a trial, and being executed would have gone up in smoke which again from the perspective of the Romans and even the Jewish leaders previously would have been a small affair of one rabbi and a few followers. For contemporaries, the burning of Jerusalem eclipsed those events that today we give so much attention towards. 2) Christianity was small group which grew slowly as underground undesirable misunderstood group in the shadows of the Empire. They spent more time worried about lions than the reality of historical Jesus. By the time Christianity had become official nearly 3 centuries had passed and there was a lot of murkiness which required a lot of hammering out to the satisfaction of an Emperor who did not want a chaotic mess of varying dogma floating about. 3) The destruction of the Library of Alexandria and the Dark Ages. Here again we have a lot of written records going up in smoke and later literacy drastically falling in society. We lost a good chunk of ancient writings thru the wars, sackings&burnings, and just the passage of time so to say that the lack of contemporary writings on the historical Jesus is proof there was no historical Jesus really is no proof of anything at all except proof of a very poor understanding of how history works while putting too much modern emphasis on people and events that contemporaries of the time would not have. Laying aside divinity, even going by the Gospels, Jesus was one spiritual leader among many whose core followers amounted to a dozen who preached to a number of people primarily in the countryside before going to the big city of Jerusalem and being crucified shortly after arrival. The historical impact would have been minimal to the people living at the time so there would have been few written accounts made and those few which had been made could have easily been destroyed over the years from the wars and the passage of time.  Also important thing to keep in mind, both the writers of the Gospels and the early Christians were more focused on the spirituality of the message of Jesus rather than the historical reality. Do we just 40 years after his death, debate the existence of Martin Luther King, Jr or do we focus more on his message of equality? Anyway,TL;DR -  it's just pseudo-intellectual posturing to make a quick buck on a popular subject

He didn't have to hack the election (because Hillary sucked) but if he fake leaks that he did he gives one group the ammo they want to attack Trump and the Republicans while they knowing it was fake will be even more determined to destroy the Democrats.

Bundy claimed his people came there in the 1870s or 80s but it was later found that his ranch was bought in 1948 2 years after the BLM was formed and his began ranching in 1954. So you're backing a lie

  1034. ***** and it goes back to slavery both that mentality and this Nevada issue. Slave owners championed states rights over which they exercised more control thru influence and money that would allow them to continue the practice of slavery. Slavery was an issue with the Northwest Ordinance and federal land ownership west of the original 13 states. Funny thing is precedents for federal land ownership and purchase were set by the darlings of the Tea Party - Washington, Jefferson, and Madison with the Northwest Ordinance and the Louisiana Purchase

  1035. ***** The way of business is you pay to use things which are not yours. If that land was privately owned he'd have been paying that landowner for usage and if that landowner wanted they could have shut him down at any time since it was never his land. It's only because it's federal land and there is this ignorant understanding of it that he and his misguided followers think they are entitled to do as they please with the land. That's not the case.

Guntards think they have this invincible argument with the car analogy and/or the knife/screwdriver kills more people statistic but with both they fail to understand or admit to the simple fact that on the whole they are much less dangerous than guns and have everyday uses completely unrelated to violence. With cars they fail to realize that we have passed numerous regulations to make them safer from manufacturer to the roads to the restrictions of the drivers. With knives and similar instruments you are unlikely to slip and kill someone or seriously injure them to the same level you could with a gun. Nor are you likely to kill or injury someone in another yard, house, room. We've had cases like were someone was cleaning their gun in a motel room when it went off and killed someone next door. Not going to happen with a knife or screwdriver. But logic and common sense is not applicable because in the end the guntard  will abandon all and just shout something 2nd Amendment like "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!" and consider their argument won.

It was the bundys and their supporters that went there to protest and impend the removal of the cattle so comparing Bundy to Waco or Ruby Ridge falls very short in comparison. Had Bundy stayed on his land nothing would have happened.

There's been too much lying and distortion of facts by the Bundy supporters that everything spoken by them has to be taken with a bucket of salt.

  1072. I doubt either the car or the knife embolden him to go on his insane quest. His main goal was to kill as many people as he could. His roommates was a personal grudge and it's rather obvious he used a knife so that gunshots wouldn't have given him away before he could embark on his insane mission to kill. Also it more than likely they were killed in their sleep. This disingenuous NRA doofus wants to split hairs but like a lot of people like him they don't understand when that makes a difference and when it doesn't. Here it's a simple case of mathematics. More people were killed and injured by gunfire than by knife or car so calling him a stabber doesn't work nor a car and he went to great effort to acquire the guns as they were essential to his plan. The main reason he is making it an issue is rather obvious - to obfuscate the issue and avoid any sensible discussion on gun control.

  1077. ***** there wasn't this fanatical obsession with guns until more recently. The NRA was formed for gun safety after all the bad gun handling of Northern troops in the Civil War and they supported the machine gun ban in the 1930s. Many old western towns enforced strict gun control requiring people to check their guns when they enter town or when they entered an establishment. No one worried about the government snatching up guns. That didn't really start until the late 70s kicking into high from the 80s onward.

  1120. Orwellian news at its finest from the mainstream media. Let us tell you what you are thinking and what you will do. Was it 85% of all Sander supporters or Democrat Sander supporters? Bernie brought in a lot of people who had no interest in Hillary to begin with. Why would they switch to her after all the shit that has gone down? Many if not most Sander supporters are progressives and they will support Jill Stein before they support a non-progressive candidate with a history of neo-con foreign votes and policies. The fix is in and has been for quite sometime. They just need a plausible reason why this unpopular candidate will have won the popular vote in November and they will point to such polls as proof. The fact is Hillary is heavily supported by big money and the establishment from Wallstreet to Time-Warner who owns CNN to the DNC which has been nearly 100% for her before the race even began to neo cons who don't like Trump. There is no way with this amount of support of money and people with connections (hell two of the three voting machine companies are Clinton donors) that Hillary will lose to a largely unsupported candidate whose party establishment hates him. The narrative is Trump is some boogieman giant to be feared and that he has a strong chance to win the election but as I pointed out before it's Hillary who has all the big support. This isn't David vs Goliath. Hillary is Goliath backed up by Goliaths fighting the Village Idiot supported by other village idiots.

  1169. The US can't really follow Japan's example as they have never had a proliferation of firearms (nor a shilling NRA pushing gun-grabbing fear conspiracies). Switzerland would be a better example to try to model ourselves on due to the amount of firearms they have and military training for country defense since so many gun enthusiast in the US fancy themselves freedom fighting militia. Require training and proof of purchase of guns and yes a (dreaded) registry so people can't give or sell guns to anyone they feel like. The problem with this of course is the sale of guns bought out of fear would go down in a better gun-regulated society which would cut into profits so this won't happen anytime soon so long as greed and gullible paranoia rule in the US.

  1170. David Pakman Show Have to respectively disagree with you. Thomas's comments were off the cuff to some guy ambushing her in public. She wasn't a politician who votes on policies but a journalist and at that time someone taking a walk who has a right to her personal opinion. It was a rightwing assassination job that worked like a charm because they know liberals will turn on each in a moment as they did with Thomas; meanwhile rightwing pundits have continued to espouse all forms of sexism and bigotry with little to no censure.  It's one thing to disagree with Thomas and criticize her but to try to ruin her entire career and life as many sought to do over one statement was not fair in the slightest. And in way the rightwing scored a double goal - 1) they got rid of a leftist nemesis and ruined her reputation thus in their minds negating any of her criticisms throughout her career and 2) at the same time they "proved" the conspiracy theory of those rightwing nutjobs out there who believe in a zionist-controlled media that they were right. Since the zionist-media also controls the government according to the theory, this keeps that rightwing base anti-government while voting Republican or Tea Party.

The main problem with the kindergarden notion that only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun is that ultimately it is only a short-term personal solution that doesn't guarantee 100% success but most importantly in no way does it address the much larger issue which is poverty. Just having everyone armed is not going to magically make crime disappear. Much of the shootings in Chicago are gang-related and gangs know that other gang members are likely to be armed so it doesn't stop them.

  1197. +Noel Ebbert but the American flag represents the country not the Founding Fathers nor 18th Century morality. The government and the country has changed over time and therefore so has the flag. The problem with the Confederate Flag is that it was designed by a government that ceased to exist which wanted to continue the institution of slavery. In the 1960s the Confederate Flag was raised on Southern state lands in opposition to Civil Rights - now what kind of pride is that and what kind of message were they sending?

  1200. whyamimrpink78 when the states go out of their bounds to trample the constitutional rights of citizens then the federal government should and must act accordingly. People were being beaten and killed protesting for their rights.
    1
  1201. whyamimrpink78 "The only people who complained about the unconstitutionality of the Patriot Act hate America. See how easy it is to twist words around." Except that's a terribly weak argument which is hardly worth comparing as no one sees the "patriot" act as "patriotic."  Removing the flag from public grounds of a once hostile nation which was pro-slavery then raised again in defiance of the civil rights movement (FYI it was raised before the Act was even signed so it was more an act of resistance towards people like MLK Jr than against federal overreach) is not depriving anyone of their rights.
    1
  1202. whyamimrpink78 No, it was the southern states which were not civil arresting, beating, and murdering civil rights activists who were demonstrating for the constitutional rights of black citizens. Your pathetic melodramatics of the big bad fed government trampling on some rights (what? the right to discriminate? fuck you) pales in comparison to the reality of what had been going on in the South for decades. That particular flag was raised by racists with racist intent against the civil rights movement which was fighting to support the constitutional rights of black citizens. It has never been anything but racist and this wasn't the first time there had been calls to have it brought down. As for Jackson on the $20 - given the fact that he hated the banks he'd have been the first to demand himself removed from the bill.

Expecting a foreigner and a busy spiritual leader to understand the nuance and complexities of the issue (ie the insanity and hypocrisy) is expecting a bit much when Americans have a hard time figuring it out.

  1250. ***** You're waffling. FGM predates Islam and comes from another continent. What that should tell a person is that those cultures which practiced FGM before Islam existed continue to practiced it and used Islam to justify it as those who live in christian countries do with christianity to justify continuing the practice. In other words, FGM is so ingrained in their cultural practices that they will continue doing so regardless of whatever new culture that comes in. You see, people will use anything to justify and rationalize their actions and beliefs but attacking Islam over FGM is as pointless as attacking Christianity over it because the practice did not originate with either. BTW there have been imams who have publicly spoken out against FGM but don't let that fact get in your way. http://www.wluml.org/news/west-africa-mauritanian-muslim-imams-initiate-rare-ban-female-circumcision
    1
  1251. ***** You keep babbling without really saying anything. Fact - FGM predates Islam Fact - FGM is not and has not been practiced in the area where Islam originated nor in the power bases of Damascus, Baghdad, and Istanbul Fact - FGM started in Central Africa and has since spread due to immigration Looking at these facts then blaming islam or trying to make a connection with Islam to damn it and Aslan over FGM is ridiculous. There are plenty of other points to criticize Islam and Aslan over but FGM is not one of them. Let it go FFS! In fact Politifact rate Aslan's critique of Maher's FGM statement being a Central African issue as valid and mostly true http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/oct/02/reza-aslan/fact-checking-reza-aslans-retort-bill-maher/ but far be it for that to get in the way of your bizarre obsession over one talking point in badly done CNN interview

Several years ago in TN there was a shooting at a church that the shooter thought too liberal. At his home he had Mike Savage's book "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder."

  1266. so your answer is no gun control? Just let everyone have a gun who wants one? The question needs to be asked where he got the guns in the first place. Did he get them thru legal channels? Another thing - you should understand about criminals and guns. The majority of them get their guns from theft - theft from legal owners. DOJ reports 200K guns are stolen every year many from burglaries. Gun owners are basically feeding the black market and keeping the price cheap due to unlimited supply.

  1272. Rightwingers have been going thru a tough time. They beat Gore in 2000 and were riding high but now in hindsight we see the Bush Admin for the travesty that it was.

Rather than face that they turn their attentions on a democrat president and over-criticize his every move no matter how crazy they come off.

The fact that 74 million people still voted for this joker after 4 years of his buffoonery and unprofessionalism shows not only how divided the country is but how principle means very little to these tribal-minded voters. A more suave Trump-like figure would have these people doing what they are aching to do already - rounding up fellow citizens (un-Americans as they call them), beating and killing liberal protestors, shooting people at the border, arresting and executing liberal politicians, and supporting the military industrial complex in bombing the hell out of other countries they are afraid of.

A number of those thefts are from home burglaries.

  1327. You have to factor in rightwing tribalism and kneejerk reaction to anything liberal coupled with Trump's conning behavior and the need to be in the spotlight. If he couldn't get his name plastered all over the vaccine as his idea, he'd likely would have been lukewarm to it then because liberals would be touting the vaccine because of the science behind it it would cause many rightwingers to naturally be against it. At that point Trump would likely give a "good people on both sides" type speech to keep his base placated telling them if they feel like it, get the vaccine but if not, it's ok which many MAGA folk would interpret as Trump not being for the vaccine. However as it actually stands though, Trump has said to get the vaccine and you still have Trumpsters dead-set against it

  1332.  @rainerzufall42  Hurt her? How? Look, it's not Ana's fault that Gabbard has a questionable past for progressives to be skeptical about. Is she truly progressive or opportunistic telling people what they want to hear in order to make her stand apart from the other candidates? She watched a relatively obscure senator go from a few dozen at his rallies to tens of thousands in less than a year preaching a progressive message and she chose to support him when he was the height of his popularity in 2016 thus getting progressives to notice her more. If she is genuine she should welcome people questioning her about her past, a past sometimes at odds with her progressive present. Another thing, if you want to assume all over the place why can't you assume that perhaps it was a miscommunication a misunderstanding between both sides? I mean why would either side lie about this? What is there to gain? If anything Tulsi could make a lot of goodwill declaring it a misunderstanding and do a sit down with Ana confronting those questions head-on like Bernie did with those Fox shills.
    1
  1333.  @swatejtripathi3083  what is with you guys and assuming other people's feelings and intentions? "she would welcome" - how do you know that? Ana should just be like another hostile Fox reporter if that were the case and easily handled rather than avoided.
    1
  1334.  @swatejtripathi3083  the establisment is the one out of step with the population. Buttigeig has hitched his wagon to the out of touch corporate democrats so naturally he gets more coverage on mainstream media but the more and more the voting public doesn't trust that media. Tulsi whatever her intentions knows that the public who are not completely one side or the other are more inclined to listen to populist policies and vote accordingly.

  1335. Where are all the Support the Troop rightwingers? Fucking hypocrites.

  1336. My nihilistic side says "screw the lot of them. Trump's crowd will die off because of wars, deregulation of work and environmental standards, and his bad advice on coronaviris. Win or lose Biden is likely to cut social security or simply not expand it hurting his deluded boomer voters and the young voters who couldn't be bothered to vote will be drowning in debt they can't get out of.

  1338. Mr. Moron, do you know where the blackmarket gets its guns? They don't magically fall out of the sky, you know. The majority of them are stolen from or sold by legal owners. The DOJ estimates over 200k guns are stolen yearly many from burglaries of gun-owning households. The FBI lists 3 Texas cities in their Top 10 cities for burglaries. Given the high gunownership rates in TX, one can easily assume many guns are stolen there. Basically legal possession of guns is feeding the blackmarket
    1
  1339. This. Tulsi is taking great stances now but given her 180 degree changes in a relatively short amount of time it should make one pause to think does she honestly feel this way or is it opportunism to gain attention? She supported Bernie at a time when it would gain her more attention and it's worked. Had she not she would be a lesser known candidate.

  1340. have you been under a rock for the last couple of years? NRA said the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun. People are mocking this childlike mentality of the NRA
    1
  1341. Remember when it was rightwingers telling us in 2000 and 2004 that Bush won and we should stop being sore losers? Since the re-election we have seen secessionist petitions, government shut-downs, and calls for armed revolt. Who's the sore loser?

  1342. It's not about a difference of opinion. These people live on a different plane of reality from everyone else.

  1343. "This just goes to show you that the government is preparing the U.S military to attack the American people." Yes because being intolerant to intolerance and hate is a sure sign of a military attack on the civilian populace. Do you not know how ridiculous you sound with this "logic?"
    1
  1344. rightwing propaganda at its finest which you in your unstable mindset has uncritically lapped up. Holmes was not registered to vote. That was started by a breitbart blogger who got the wrong Holmes and this error was repeated in rightwing media. Lanza - no proof. Newtown voted for Romney and there is possibility that his mother was a registered republican. Cho was not even a citizen Uh oh - seems your list is full of shit
    1
  1345. why can't conservatives focus on the topic of the discussion?
    1
  1346. Conservatives despise teachers and want them to stay underpaid and underfunded and fired if they breath a word of CRT (or in other words actual history) yet they also trust them to protect their kids with guns? Yeah, that makes sense.
    1
  1347. yeah they need all the help they can get
    1
  1348. It'd be nice not to talk about Trump anymore but unfortunately he and especially his lunatic followers are still causing trouble. After Jan 6th, it's a good idea not to treat their antics lightly.
    1
  1349. benghazi was a bad incident but considering all that has happened post-911, it is hardly this huge scandal to crucify Clinton over or try to impeach Obama for. The conservative spin-doctoring on this by some of your more brainwashed out there is that Obama and Clinton just sat there watching callously while those 4 were murdered. You can't reason with people like this.
    1
  1350. from Benghazi? That was a year ago. Only diehard conservatives really are pressing that issue whereas most people don't think it's a big deal

  1351. stop staring at America's end, Bill. It's creepy.

  1352. an absurd argument from hardcore gun advocates? Perish the thought! Here's a thought or those going with guns to the Dark Knight - if you thought there was a chance for violence at Batman, why the fuck go in the first place? Movies are for enjoyment not obligations. Man, people are losing what little intelligence they have left.

  1353.  @blue03r6  they do have a plan if you bother to listen and read

  1354. Trump's rallies are like a colorized Nuremberg Rally on meth and Mountain Dew. He stokes up the crowd making personal attacks on political opponents questioning their loyalty and nationality to a crowd of people who share the mindset of the numerous domestic rightwing terrorists we have been dealing with over the last decade.
    1
  1355. yeah but this doesn't explain or solve the problem of conservatives in the rank and file of the GOP who are helping this system. With this grassroots/astroturf movements they are aiding (because they are getting funding) to change society to be more supportive of stronger laws which will continue the prison system and uphold the judicial system, to be less questioning of authority so that wars can continue to be waged for the profit of the defense contractors, to be ignorant of the past so that future actions can be done without criticism and protest

  1356. Red States keep education and mental health funding down because smart sane people generally don't vote Republican.

    1
  1362. There's a loud minority particularly online on both sides of the socio-political divided that can't or won't do nuance and many of them use their lack of nuance as a weapon to both get attention for themselves and feel better about themselves. Useless nutters the lot of them.

  1363. he's advocating for mass school burnings to divert attention from guns

  1365. what worries me is maybe Obama has no real power to stop them as the military bureaucracy is now so entrenched
    1
  1366. This is ultimately why libertarianism doesn't work as you can't trust individual people particularly en masse to do the right thing. Too many people are short-sighted, selfish, myopic, and damn stupid. You've got people who can't stand staying home so they pack the clubs, the beaches, and restaurants in the middle of a pandemic thinking it won't happen to them but not realizing they are also endangering others who actually aren't so stupid.
    1
  1367. It's no longer simply a difference of opinions and it hasn't been for some time nor is it a case of "both sides have extremists." The hardcore elements of the rightwing which is now the mainstream are out to lunch and they aren't coming back. They subscribe to a completely different form of reality and this allows them to justify reprehensible actions in the name of freedom making them dangerous.

  1368. and a grenade if you're a bad shot

  1369. Far be it for logic to stand in the way of overwhelming stupidity. It may be cruel and heartless but we need to stop fighting to save those who don't want to be saved and let them remove themselves from the equation so they can't stop holding us back. Plus since a fair number of anti-vaxxers support fascist principles like the ones that motivated the January 6th insurrection, it's killing two birds with one stone.
    1
  1370. Rightwing project their issues on their opponents in order not to deal with those issues. Lacking any self-awareness helps. Still, it's funny to watch these clueless nitwits point their finger using words they don't understand to get at the Left all the while describing their own problems.
    1
  1371.  @whyamimrpink78  and your ability to utterly miss the point is on point here

  1372.  @whyamimrpink78  you are having a conversation with yourself as usual
    1
  1373. We are in such a weird state of affairs. On one side we have a buffoonish brash president with perhaps the most dubious of backgrounds some of which flies in the face of the principles of his "family values" followers. He is supported by very angry and very ignorant people brainwashed by 30+ years of rabid gaslighting rightwing rhetoric. On the other side many people sheepishly shrug their shoulders and try to treat the president and his rabid fans as slightly normal. People in the future (if we have one) will look back in puzzlement thinking "how in the world did people back then let this happen as that President and his supporters were obviously insane and the President was clearly suffering from dementia!"

  1374. I remember thinking war in Iraq was a bad idea in 2003 but I wasn't overly vocal about it because I was still in reeling in the aftermath of 9/11 as many were which Cheney and his war profiteering cronies exploited to the hilt. I naively thought at least we'd take out a dictator and set up a better government but that wasn't their goal. they had no plan really further than controlling the oil and so Iraq went to shit and lots of people died. We really need to nail these opportunistic bastards

  1375. better to do so now then get blindsided in the general

  1376. you want some applesauce with that ham? WMD was a totally different thing which led to a completely unnecessary war. Benghazi was a fuck up but not one of the epic proportions these disingenuous panel members make it out to be

  1377. It's sad that the DNC is so feckless that they barely put up any fight or do much about anything that a clown party is a serious political threat instead of the fringe group it would be anywhere else.

  1379. yeah but many of those gun owners aren't going to do shit. don't fool yourself! Most them would be happy to live in a bunker with their precious guns while people get rounded up. Did the gun owners and gun groups do anything about the Patriot Act (I recall under Bush they supported it), NDAA, NSA? You know who did do something? Unarmed protestors of Occupy Wallstreet. The gun owners did nothing but buy more guns and spew more rhetoric but have actually done nothing

  1384. Mega-wealthy elite don't care about the culture war because like the elites of theocratic countries like Saudi Arabia they don't deny themselves the pleasures of the flesh. Overall, the agenda of these astro-turf righties aligns with theirs because they support prisons, strong police force, perpetual war against "America's enemies", tax breaks for the rich, undermining education to keep down intellectual resistance, etc...

  1387. Trump's a racist as are many of his followers but making it the basis of a political policy is a waste of time as this is what they want. I saw some response to Bernie's tweet about medicare where they were they said all they see is him talking about Medicare but she wanted to see his outrage about Trump's tweet. Really? Have you no priorities? An ongoing crisis which has killed and bankrupted Americans needs to be set aside to deal with yet another stupid Trump tweet? Some people are so easily distracted. The current response is: "Trump, you were out of line. Apologize. Now if we can get back to more pressing issues..."

  1388.  @depressedessendonfan5702  WTF are you babbling about? Do you like arguing with week old comments? What a weirdo!
    1
  1389. MAGA folks despite all their talk about freedom are the first to bend their knee to an authoritarian demagogue who promises to look after them while demonizing others (generally poor people) as the source of their problems. They will slavishly worship the rich and strong above them failing to see those as the ones exploiting them every which way possible and they will often violently reinforce the status quo thinking they will have the chance of being accepted in the circles of the elites or at least get some of their table scraps.
    1
  1390. I think the thing to take from this is the behavioral pattern of certain atheists compared with certain theists. It's not a matter of who is actually right or which benefits or takes from society but that there is little difference in behavior. For atheists this should be a concern lest atheism goes the way of theism and becomes dogmatic and intolerant thus becoming much like the thing it hates.
    1
  1391. when republicans spend it's often for the benefit of corporations whether thru subsidies, deregulation, or lucrative contracts for wars. when democrats spend it's often for social programs that help the poor and minorities and often detrimental to corporate profits due to regulation and tax policies. This is what brings out the double conservative whammy on democrat spending - on one side the greedy corporates and on the other the racists who don't want minorities getting any help
    1
  1392. driverless cars coming - shooterless guns not coming
    1
  1393.  @shadowdance4666  the point is that driverless cars are designed not to harm people as shooterless guns should be ie no accidents, suicides, or murders. In fact there were smart guns that would only fire if the owner held the gun thereby cutting down down gun theft and subsequent shootings and crimes by those stolen guns but the NRA didn't support it - surprise! surprise!

  1396. Couple of factors at work here. Initially GOPpers were towing the anti-vax line as red meat to their base whom they know are anti-science primarily because liberals endorse science. Several people have pointed this out before but it bears repeating that a lot of the hardcore rightwingers have no real principles or policies except to be anti-liberal. But the GOP realizes they are the minority and although they will suppress the vote, cheat, and steal election they need enough actual GOP voters to make it look somewhat legit. And the DNC needs the GOP as a distraction from progressive policies so the word is out amongst the elite to get the vaccine in order that the sham of our current political state can continue.

  1397. I'd have thought the lesbians would have preferred pie

  1398. Typical Rightwingers always go after boogeymen rather than real problems. Those who use "thoughts&prayers" and nothing else deserved to mocked as useless hypocrites especially if they are in the position to do something about mass shootings.

  1402.  @icin4d  no, the second President Adams did not own slaves. More accurate to say is that 10 out of the first 12 presidents owned slaves.
    1
  1403.  @icin4d  anyway, the main thing is it pretty much refutes that fox idiot's assertion when the highest office in the land held slaves from 1789 until 1863 when the VP and later President Johnson freed his slaves with some few exceptions by mainly one term presidents.

  1409. The Projection is strong with them. They would indoctrinate their kids in the way they fear kids are being indoctrinated in schools and essentially put in them in a bubble walled off from reality. Things can't keep going like this and soon matters will eventually come to a head.

  1410. and live in Japan? You want to try for full sentences there, chief? My opinion has the same worth as yours though perhaps more since I write coherently and don't suffer from paranoia.

  1411. when republicans win, it's fair. When democrats win, it must be voter fraud. Remember how in 2000&2004 Republicans crowed "Bush won! Get over it!" - ? Why can't they take their own advice?
    1
  1412. I think individuals have used the Mueller Report for their personal axes to grind whether it be people like Maddow against Trump, Hillbots to justify Hillary's loss, people like Greenwald and Dore to attack mainstream media, rightwingers to use it to paint the Left as looney conspiracy theorists. And everyone else picks a pundit to support their point of view like a sports team fan. We have devolved into a pseudo-intellectual version of Idiocracy.
    1
  1413. We are at the mercy of the tyranny of stupidity and insanity. Not enough liberal, independent, progressive voters understand what's happening as they play stupid games while the Right just gets more and more insane and violent. The former are living in a Weimar Republic while the Right are regrouping for their next Beer Hall Putsch.
    1
  1414. and NRA stooges want to arm teachers as well... yeah great idea. This kind of incident would occur on a more widespread basis with the high potential of injuries and fatalities.
    1
  1415. Can you get more blatantly profiteering than this? First the NRA wants armed guards at schools which means more money for gun manufacturers thus kickbacks to the NRA and now they want government subsidies to teach these gun safety classes to 1st Graders thus creating a future market of gun buyers. Sickening
    1
  1416. keep up the good work, son! These comments certainly support your arguments and make them seem sound and rational.

  1421. For far too long students have lived under the shadow of school shootings where it is becoming more and more a possibility at any given school at any given time given the current state of affairs with a lack of gun control and mental healthcare. Republicans and NRA are in for a shock as more of these students become voters and politicians.
    1
  1422. If you have seen enough gun advocate debates you tend to have seen them all. I hardly think it remarkable to call them out on. What he is commenting on is how things have become in any gun or potential gun story that there is almost an immediate gun defense campaign launched with 2nd Amendment and Founding Father quotes ad nauseam. It shows an insecurity amongst gun advocates IMHO peppered with paranoia
    1
  1423. Problem is Trump is supported by nutjobs who think there is nothing wrong with his behavior or fearing that if Trump is mentally unsound that the guys in white suits will come after them. I recently had some rightwing idiot on FB try to joke about Obama being from Nigeria and when I corrected him by saying he couldn't even get the right country rightwingers believe Obama was from he responded by hoping to meet me on the battlefield of Civil War #2 where he would be fighting for flag and country and someone liked his comment. There is a strong visceral and irrational hatred amongst a significant number of rightwingers for liberals and they support Trump because he pisses liberals off plus they agree with a lot of his offensive statements.

  1426. In the NRA-addled mind - somewhere powerful men of the shadowy NWO are gathered to discuss their plans. "Gentlemen, although we control most governments and world media and have infinite wealth and power at our disposal, our plans for complete world domination are constantly being stymied by a random assortment of US gun owners with varying degrees of training. We dare not make a move until they are all disarmed least they shoot one of our lowly-paid peons."

  1428. Does he believe it or does he know his audience is so eaten up with hatred of anything liberal they'll believe anything he dribbles as long as it's pro-Trump and anti-liberal. And some woman honestly asks "why doesn't someone doing something [about Biden pretending to be president]?" these people are dangerously dumb.

  1429. nope. Was there an agreement beforehand that the $150 was for sex? This guy is a murderer pure and simple and it's a crime he got away with it.
    1
  1430. and yet according to them Obama is the most anti-gun president ever. There's no reasoning with these gun nuts.
    1
  1431. If the DNC screw Bernie and us giving us Biden or really any milquetoast candidate to go up against Trump with an impeachment that will likely fail and war he is likely to start, we might as well pack it in because the country's thru.
    1
  1432. Trumpism is modern American conservatism in overdrive which didn't start with Trump. Trump played Pied Piper to people who were already in a certain mindset created by years and years of rabid rightwing rhetoric coupled with post-911 paranoia and 8 years of indignation of Obama's presidency.
    1
  1433. The GOP would love it if everyone stopped talking about mass shootings so that's reason enough to keep bringing them up
    1
  1434. so there aren't conservative independents? He shot a Democrat with a gun - kind of a rightwing fantasy come to life, eh?

  1436. Covid did its part to fix stupid but not enough unfortunately
    1
  1437. If you look at Australian media, they see it as a tragic result of America's irresponsible and irrational behavior towards guns not as a racial issue. It's only in the US that you have rightwingers trying to obfuscate the story by demanding statements from Obama or Al Sharpton failing to see the difference here between Zimmerman and the 3 teens - one was let go shortly after killing someone whereas the other 3 were arrested immediately&charged. Everywhere else it's gun not a race issue

  1439. the chances of your home being invaded and your wife and daughter being at the mercy of said hypothetical invaders are about the same as getting hit with a meteorite. Not saying it doesn't happen but probability trumps the likelihood. More likely is that burglars will case your place and make sure you are out then go in and steal those guns which are among the top 4 things burglars steal because they easily converted into cash. Anyway. Pakman won't lose supporters because of his gun reg agenda
    1
  1440. it may be callous but maybe we should lend ear to the NRA people and just flood the country with guns and live in a paranoid armed country and whenever a mass shooting breaks out or just a car backfiring dozens will be gunned down in the subsequent crossfires and accidentally shootings
    1
  1441. there are people saying taking all guns away? Really? Can you name them? And are any of them with any influence on the legal-making process? No, the problem is with people like you and the NRA who are stooges of the gun manufacturers in that everytime you hear any whiff of gun regulation you blow it out of proportion and imagine it to be an absolute ban despite no one calling for anything of the sort.
    1
  1442. America the Free is like a slogan or a mantra people chant when they actually have no idea what that actually means. And most of them have never spent much time overseas. Recently I was in a park in downtown Tokyo where we had 20 people shooting waterguns at each other and drinking beer while we had a DJ system set-up providing dance music. No cops showed up. Would this have flown in a park in the US? Highly unlikely
    1
  1443. I support this law for the Big Guy's sake. Just because He created the universe and everything in it doesn't mean He doesn't have feelings! What's dealing with a supernova compared to the psychologically-scarring pseudo-intellectual arguments of a cafe-latte-swilling college sophomore atheist at a coffee house poetry slam?

  1444. this just shows that all the rightwing pundits and trolls claiming obamacare is not wanted by the American people are full of shit
    1
  1445. Rightwingers are always screaming about government conspiracies about big government but completely ignore this blatant abuse of power by the president no less. This along with so many examples is evident that we should not even be debating with these people. They have consistent principles they live by. All they do is hold us back. Marginalize them, get rid of gerrymandering, stop voter suppression, and get money out of politics then we can have real debates about policies without these brainwashed morons interfering.
    1
  1446. yeah it's just a coinwinkydink that CNN who dismissed Bernie in 2016 when they weren't negatively covering him just "happened" to field hardball questions from people who just "happened" to work in dubious areas that just "happen" to have reasons to be hostile towards Bernie. FYI you're in CA not DC.
    1
  1447.  @TonyHaleLeo  Oh, give it a rest trying to paint people as conspiracy theorists and linking them with trump supporters with your "cnn is fake news" association! CNN has pulled shit before - remember the debate questions? This isn't tin foil hat territory when we have an established pattern of behavior.
    1
  1448. This is what Bernie stated on Fox that he wants debates based on policies not personalities like the media wants

  1449. too quick? That is ridiculous. How can anyone be too quick to respond to a disaster?

  1450. I more fear the government these misguided patriots would set up than the shadowy NWO they are so scared of. It would be a theocracy that would be anti-science, anti-progressive, anti-minority and it would fall apart within days.
    1
  1451. the number of gun deaths by intent and accident far outweigh the number of those saved by a gun. I know gun owners will pull a completely unsupported statistic out of their ass saying millions are saved by guns every year but it's not really the case. More like a handful.

  1454. It's an unhinged mentality that feeds on itself constantly re-absorbing confirmation-biased information which going through a telephone game (or chinese whispers if you're old school) filter becomes a bizarre distorted shadow of reality devoid of logic and rationality. This is why often when Trumpsters create their strawman arguments of the Left they're so far off the mark that they're unrecognizable. More often than not much of their criticism of the Left is projection of themselves - authoritarian, violent, unrealistic, hate-filled, cult of personality worshipping (something they claimed with Obama which they do with Trump), etc... Radical ideologies have nothing on Trumpism because at least those are based in some kind of thought process whereas Trumpism is mentally unstable people who should be in insane asylums.

  1458. This is one of the reasons why the rightwing is collectively unhinged - after more than a decade of fear and hate mongering they have really lost themselves in paranoia and anger that they cannot make logical arguments or react rationally. Living overseas I have people from completely different countries and continents asking me what's wrong with US conservatives. Even conservatives of other countries thinks ours are plain crazy

  1459. DOJ reports there is an average of 200K gun thefts a year - a significant proportion being from burglaries. Guns are among the top 4 items burglars want. Despite the hollywood image of a gun-owner valiantly defending his home from dastardly home-invading burglars, most burglars wait till the home is empty to go in and steal the guns which they can quickly convert into cash. Basically gun owners are feeding the black market much of its gun supply

  1462. The corporate democrats and the SJW side of the Left are only good at tearing down other Leftists usually progressives who don't do identity politics. They wither under conservative fire and therefore are a liability not an asset to the progressive movement in almost every way. However, these nitwits through sheer incompetence and self-righteous arrogance helped to get Trump elected over Clinton (granted: gerrymandering, voter suppression, the archaic electoral college, and overall apathy also helped) so perhaps these idiots might inadvertently get Bernie elected this time since now we know the dirty tricks they are playing.
    1
  1463. i find it amusing and sad that the conservative gun owners who saying this man's killing was justified over some beer are less progressive than Saudi Arabia and medieval law. Even in Saudi Arabia and back in the Middle Ages they don't/didn't outright kill thieves.
    1
  1464. There's a strong bloodlust in a number of rightwing gun nuts who want any excuse to kill people (lefties, minorities, petty crooks). This bloodlust permeates American culture which you can see in so many movies, TV shows, books, etc... where there's a strong sense of self-righteous revenge and personal justice. This is why Rittenhouse and Zimmerman are so important to the rightwing because if those 2 are wrong then they are wrong and their whole ideology/identity and they can't have that.

It still boggles my mind of all the birds to choose Breur picks a cockatoo and worried his less-than-educated audience knows what it is, checks with them first then does this weird impression that likely his audience has no idea if it's a cockatoo or not.

  1472. Phil Valentine, conservative radio host in Tennessee, who advised healthy people not to get vaccinated and compared vaccinated badges on Worker ID to Jewish yellow stars of Nazi Germany, has died from Covid complications after being on a ventilator for 3 weeks. Like many Anti-Vaxxers he also turned a new leaf and urged people to get vaccinated but it was too little to late for him it appears. How more of these stories do we have to hear before the anti-vax nitwits finally get it?

It's the same with scientific observation except with the former, proof is not excepted until tested and tested again and verified.

I think it important to be suspicious but not to the point of paranoia

  1492. Trump is like a bizarre almost suicidal troll who is testing the country's morals and legal sensibilities.

Trump just keeps pushing it to see how far he can go before someone says enough.

  1496. yeah they don't get it that boomer democrat voters in the primary aren't going to translate so well in the general. Far more people vote in the General than in the primaries and many. ofthose people are not going to be carried by low enthusiasm. Essentially the DNC has to hope Trump will completely fail with Covid-19 so that Biden can waltz into the White House but the problem with that scenario is that it will be over the corpses of countless Americans.

    1
  1499. sorry I don't speak babble - perhaps a translation in a coherent form? I thought you were leaving anyway and yet here you are. And you still don't understand the simple concept of a youtube channel - any video they post that you don't like or are uninterested in, you don't have to watch them and instead watch those you do like.

  1508. They've been marching that way for some time but under Trump they started marching double time. We have to drop the false equivalency arguments that random twitter users wanting some celebrity cancelled over identity politics is the equivalent of people storming the Capitol to stop election procedures for the sake of a authoritarian conman. Mainstream media needs to stop coddling these deluded fascists and call them out for what they are.

  1509. No, you centrists haven't learned a damn thing from 2016 as you are running yet another centrist candidate.This one is uninspiring with a spotty record on civil rights, gay rights, women's rights, trade, social security, war votes and has visible signs of possible dementia yet you lot want to run him against an incumbent narcissistic bully president who beat impeachment. And Bernie has released his medical records while Biden's is missing the cognitive testing.
    1
  1510.  @AramaiJonassi  Because the DNC basically dragged him across the finish line of Super Tuesday getting both Buttigieg and Klobuchar to drop out before it. Most of the states Biden has won are red states that will be red in the General so they're not much to really crow about. The voters who did vote for Biden are badly informed about Biden knowing very little about his policies other than Not Trump and Obama's VP. It is this kind of ignorance that will kill the DNC in the General as many independents and undecideds will stay home rather than voting for someone with a dodgy record and mind. You lot have learned nothing from 2016 and you will repeat your failure.
    1
  1511.  @AramaiJonassi  The reason those voters who as I mentioned are from red states think Bernie supporters are a cult is because they have been fed that narrative by a paid-off biased media. They are badly and criminally uninformed which is why they are voting for someone who really has no vision other Not Trump, someone whose record has actually been part of the source of a lot of their present problem - the Crime Bill, Iraq War, Bankruptcy Bill. And we are not giving the GOP talking points. They can and have been doing that on their own without our help. Try to understand what a primary is and should be. A primary is to weed out weaker candidates who would have no chance in the General. That's why it's very important in the selection and to realize success in the primary doesn't mean success in the General. Biden is popular amongst older democrat voters because of nostalgia for Obama but this nostalgia is not shared with the general public outside of the DNC bubble. Bernie supporters see the same mistakes of 2016 being committed that regardless of our individual support of Biden if he is the nominee it won't be enough to sway people in large numbers who will be turned away by his record and his visible signs of dementia. It would be irresponsible to send a candidate with these glaring weaknesses into the General.

  1513. I was being sarcastic. I would have thought that obvious. How many times have you been fooled by Onion articles?
    1
  1514. The cult should be seen as primarily Anti-Liberal in everything they think and do. This is a result of decades of a steady diet of rabid rightwing rhetoric wrapped in flags and Bible pages while painting liberals as unpatriotic, unChristian, and essentially the enemy of the country. But until Trump, the GOP only paid the cult lip service then Trump came along like a Pied Piper and hijacked the base out from under the GOP because a con man knows how to con people. They've made him their leader because 1) he speaks their lingo and 2) the amount of hatred he gets from liberals. If liberals don't like him, he must be good by their cult logic.

  1516. At the top both parties need each other to distract from doing anything to fix real problems. The DNC needs the RNC to obstruct them from enacting any progressive policies and the RNC needs the DNC to distract their base with pointless culture war nonsense.

  1517. Props to those who turned up but condemnation for those who gave verbal/internet support but failed us on the day we need them. When they cry as they are swimming in debt and medical issues from working multiple jobs to get by I won't care as they get their karma comeuppance.

  1519. hell even the Middle Ages wasn't this backwards
    1
  1520. And no one is saying take guns away from everyone! This paranoid fear has got to stop so that sensible actions and discussions can be made without kneejerk 2nd Amendment quotes. Assault weapons had been banned before with less fanfare but that was before the NRA and gun supporters became such thin-skinned sky-is-falling Chicken Littles.

Look, genius, people aren't going to say "the Vikings (or whoever) discovered the land that would later be called America" when saying/writing America is much simpler and everyone knows what they mean anyway. You add nothing substantial.
    1
  1531. These people are dangerous whether Trump wins or loses. They've already shown themselves willing to follow an authoritarian rightwing leader regardless of how deranged he comes off and how opposite he is from the values of the country and religion they profess to love. If a more suave dictator were to come forward they've shown they'd be completely onboard for that. If Trump wins (the electoral college), they'll feel vindicated in oppressing liberals and minorities who they feel stand in the way of Trump's path to greatness. If he loses, they'll believe the election rigged and feel they need to fight for "democracy" ie their brand of rightwing authoritarianism. They need to be deprogrammed or just institutionalized for everyone's wellbeing.

  1532. The romantic image of the Founding Fathers conservatives have is a distorted cartoon caricature of barely known individuals meshed together (how many can they actually name?) colored in conservative rose-tinted glasses. The FF were progressive for their day only seeming to be conservative when looking back from today but they set up a system that allowed for change. Another thing is that the FF looked forward while conservatives look backward.

  1533. @jphilly819 no it isn't. How stupid are you to even ask? Even if 100 police stations got burned the infrastructure of the system is still there from president on down to mayor to dogcatcher. Police stations can be rebuilt but when people do coups on governments? Not so much.

You just prove that people like you are not worth the time of debating because you are so far gone in your alternative plane of reality.

If you had actually looked into the story you should have wondered why they got takeout at Red Lobster and why did they sit at a table if takeout was their goal. Why would the waitress write it then show it to her dad? Wy would she lie to her dad about a non-tipping customer? It's more likely the couple changed their mind when they saw their server, ordered takeout, then both left the nasty message

  1544. Rightwingers know how to toe the line because they have a war mentality of "us vs them" that prioritizes the war over most inner divisions. Part of this is a realization deep down they are are outnumbered so they double-down on having a more solid front thus giving the impression they have larger numbers than they actually do. Leftwingers on the other hand have too many who are overly sensitive to their individual concerns and they will quickly throw one another under the bus and the overall consensus is to be understanding of various viewpoints to the point of ineffectuality. In this case, I hate to quote Shitpiro, but facts don't care about feelings and in the case of unity rightwingers unify under the fact they are at war (in their minds) with the Left while too many leftists give into their feelings of not being accepted enough or being offended too easily by other leftists and tear each other apart while the Right outflanks them yet again.

They ignore the consensus in favor of the few who say what they want to hear. This has been a problem especially in the US with constant obstruction and bad arguments muddying the waters. Covid may be Earth's way of thinning out opposition to global warming initiatives.

  1567. The problem is there are a number of problems. 1) You have a party that can gin up their base with fear at the drop of the hat, a base which literally despises liberals to the point they would scupper a lifeboat that would save them just to "get back at the libtards." 2) The GOP blatantly cheats by purging voter rolls, creating problems at Democratic polls creating huge lines, passing laws to limit Democrat voters, gerrymandering and the Democrats do little to stop this except whine. 3) You have too many corporate Democrats running as Republican-lite candidates like Donnelly. 4) Too many liberal-minded people out there who don't like conservative policies are cynically apathetic and won't lift a finger to do anything to help themselves At this point maybe we should just allow ourselves to sink into despotic corporatism and let people die by the millions for lack of healthcare many of whom having voted against their best interests anyway or not voted. Only by letting things get truly terrible might people finally wake up but by that time we'll likely be in a period of massive drought and global famine and it won't matter.

  1568. I've said similar before - if conspiracy theorist want to spin theories, why don't they look at who is directly benefitting and has been after every mass shooting? Since the only ban with any serious consideration is on basically a niche market gun, its hardly a loss and the recent up-spike sales in those weapons are simply a feather in the cap of gun manufacturers and investors
    1
  1569. quite a number of them live in a constant hyped-up state of fear, aggression, and despair that has been created by Fox News and rightwing pundits like Rush, Coulter, and Savage. They are led to believe the government is coming for their guns and that they will be thrown into FEMA death camps also that liberals are destroying America or whatever they imagine America to be/have been
    1
  1570. many people who support this show are for gun regulation so I don't think the realization of Pakman's agenda of gun regulation is going to shock or annoy 99% of the viewers of this show. And the "debate" is founded in ignorance as they don't know the details of the murder. She could have been jumped from behind, shot with her own gun, stabbed suddenly, etc... Seeing the Aurora-shooting arguments however, many of them IMHO have a movie/cartoon perception of reality when it comes to guns

  1572.  @oldflowers1342  it's a term they have taken but they didn't come up with it. They use it to further fuel the cycle of negativity and self-loathing amongst themselves especially on internet sites. On another note it doesn't help when the label incel gets thrown around at the drop of the hat to reinforce societal norms and silence debate. It's the same with people who label others racist at the drop of the hat to the point where the word loses its ability to stigmatize and shame and instead causes some people to double-down and actually go over to the other side. Everything gets muddy and the real incels and racists (ie the real problem) get overlooked.

  1575. Voter Fraud is part of the Republican small town mentality where they are surrounded by people with more-or-less similar viewpoints and they extrapolate that view on the greater population. To them the "liberal" viewpoint is the minority and they can't understand how more people can vote against Trump twice. In 2016 they claimed the 3 million plus national votes for Hillary over Trump were all illegals voting and in 2020 when 6-7 million more people voted for Biden than Trump that Biden had stolen the elections. They simply cannot conceive that overall their viewpoint is in the minority thus the coping mechanism of voter fraud.

  1576. either we are looking at the result of a sexual assault where Fred was victimized (possibly excited in the process?) by another man perhaps older than he was or he gave into a whim one drunken night and deeply regretted it afterwards.

  1577. as much as people didn't like Bush back in the day I don't remember people saying or believing the kind of crazy thing conservatives have been saying and believing about Obama. If there was it was very much on the fringe where as with conservatives it's often closer to middle.

  1578.  @jonathanramos8517  It's to be expected but it'd be far worse with the other candidates. The only two that have a chance that is - Warren and Biden. With Biden, Trump will attack him on Ukraine and exploit his base's distain for Obama. With Warren he has a treasure trove of things to attack her from the Left like he did with Hillary - her being a Republican until her 40s, voting for his military budget, flipping foreclosed houses, the Native American DNA nonsense, giving him a standing ovation when Bernie stayed seated, and he'll likely exploit his bases's seething hatred of Hillary by claiming she stabbed Bernie in the back over the chance of the VP under Clinton in 2016. With Bernie? It'll mainly be old cold war propaganda without much personal assault which Trump excels at. It won't land as hard especially as he can't go too far without exposing his own ties to Russia.

  1581. These anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers have no options despite them crying tor options. They are infected with an abstract idea of freedom that they can't describe except in vague generalized terms. Meanwhile medical professionals are saying "masks are the best way to slow the spread of Covid" and their response is "but I want other options!" and when asked for their suggestions they only thing they can come up with is going back to pre-covid days in other words put their head in the sand and hope it goes away. In a way they are right, Covid will go away after killing and damaging countless number of people especially like our late anti-mask rally organizer here.

  1585. I did and I addressed that. You complained about DPS doing another GZ video - yeah got that. You said there are more important stories out there - got that too. You said you were leaving despite not doing so - got that. You don't seem to get what I am saying that no one forced you to click on this link. DPS has videos on other news issues. Watch them instead and stop this pointless arguing or just live up to your words and leave already

  1590. Is there a comprehensive list of all the crazy conservative beliefs about Obama? In the last 5 years we've heard Obama is a secret muslim atheist communist socialist who hates America, is comparable to Hitler, Stalin, and Mao and that he wants to take all the guns away, lock us in hobbit homes, and now wants to arrest WWII vets. Seriously these guys have lost the plot if they ever had much of the plot to begin with.

  1591. CNN - "hey, now! hey, now! Let's not be so hasty in the labeling! Just because something walks like a duck, talks like duck, doesn't mean we shouldn't hear the duck's side of things and say everyone is a bit ducky."

  1592. since the rise of conservative talk radio, "liberals" as imagined by the rightwingers have become the bogeymen of all their fears and the scapegoat of everything wrong in the world. If it's raining and you left your car windows down, it's liberals' fault. This is just another long line of ridiculous accusations by people too clueless to realize how silly they come off.

  1593. If people are basing their votes on black elves on Amazon Prime or cancel mobs made up mainly of powerless teens then they really shouldn't vote in the first place. Yeah, some of the wokeness is annoying but that doesn't mean I'm going to rush over to the side with QANON crazies, hypocritical pro-lifers, book burners, and gun nuts

  1601. at least reagan didn't show signs in to late in his second term and trump didn't show until after the elections. Biden is showing in the primary but the DNC is going to drag him into the general hoping that hatred of the orange man will make people willing to vote for a senile candidate

  1602. The childlike mind of the conservative strikes again! The caller is indicative of the overall poor understanding many conservatives have in regards to the laws of the country they profess to love so much (the same with their religion). Difference of opinion is not the same as slander and libel but you can't expect these simpleminded 2-dimensional thinking people to grasp this. In their black&white minds you're wrong so you should be punished somehow

  1604. Little known fact - George Washington was a fighter pilot who kicked British ass according to the new Trump-approved history textbooks. After the Battle of Endor in the War of 1812, fellow pilot John "DaDeuce" Adams reportedly said to Washington; "Woodtooth, you're dangerous! But you can be my wingman anytime!"

  1606. It's Abused Spouse Syndrome. The Rightwing have so gaslighted and browbeat the media and much the Left as well into thinking any hint of radical talk from the Left is a grave threat to the country (hence all the fear-mongering of Antifa and BLM) but threats of violence from the Right is perfectly normal. This allows them to get away with things more and more until they feel bold enough to plunge the country into a fascistic authoritarian dictatorship with heavy emphasis on religion and white supremacy.

  1607. what a melodramatic disingenuous ham! Why do we suffer such fools? Benghazi was tragic but did we hear about all the deaths at those other embassies? Only blurbs in the news and no calls for accountability but now we have a Democrat in the White House and a Clinton as Secretary of State and bam! suddenly now we need accountability.

  1608. Warren really showed she's not a progressive with this petty he said/she said nonsense that has nothing to do with policy whatsoever which is the cornerstone of Bernie's campaign. When he attacks an opponent it's over the issues not some unrelated thing that has no bearing on any issue.

  1610. you're really doing wonders for your side of the argument, I can tell you. Please continue. These days gun control advocates have to do very little to get the crazy to come out of gun advocates. You've given up all pretense of an argument and now are just making lame insults that even a 5-year old wouldn't stoop to. Keep up the good work!

  1611. This only helps Bernie and hurts the establishment Democrats. While I think Fox and the bulk of their audiences should be ignored until they come back to rationality, Bernie came off as strong for walking into the proverbial Lion's Den swinging while the Democrats look spineless as they always do for running away from them. It just further shows how the Democrats constantly make wrong choices from candidates to policies.

  1615. Conservatives whine about leftists claiming there are 57 genders, mucking up pop-culture with political agendas, and protesting police abuse meanwhile many conservatives are refusing vaccines, refusing to wear masks, spreading misinformation about covid and the vaccine, protested the counting and not counting of votes during the election, stormed the Capitol in some ridiculous coup attempt, and now defying court orders to reveal audit records. It's clear the conservatives are a danger to our country and democracy because they will defy reality itself if it doesn't fit their narrative.

  1617. I used to think 911 truthers were nutjobs and I still think some still are due to their mental health issues but there are a number of strange things surrounding 911 which warrant further investigation. As for inside job we have to ask what exactly do we mean by inside and what do we mean by government. The idea of the Bush Administration being behind it is ludicrous. This was something already in the works before he took office. We have to look at who benefitted from the attacks. The terrorists certainly didn't. If it embolden them this has just given the military industrial complex more justification to step up their game ie their expenditures. It's in their best interest that the supply of terrorists never go down. The aftermath of 911 has certainly been very profitable for all the industries involved in the War on Terror. It could also be a case that certain people knew what was being planned by Al Queda and allowed to happened since it could only benefit the military industrial complex.

  1624. 3 random murders which span the country in which all of the suspects were arrested and charged shows only that people are making patterns where there is none. They were not killed by anyone claiming some kind of authority ie neighborhood watch nor have any of them been released.
