  1. http://www.quinnipiac.edu/news-and-events/quinnipiac-university-poll/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2173 Let the flaming begin This writing is an excellent summary of the facts about Faux Spews with regard to their journalistic credibility and accomplishments. Begin quoted text >>> A recent letter touting the virtues of Fox “News” made me laugh. The chosen channel of the underinformed is an entertainment outlet for the right wing of America, not a credible news channel. There are awards for news journalism, most notably The Peabody Awards, followed by the Emmy Awards for news, the Polk Awards, the Loeb Awards, the Edward R. Murrow Awards, the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards, the Investigative Reporters and Editors Awards and the duPont-Columbia Award, which is considered news journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. Since 1996, the year of Fox News’ launch, there have been more than 750 of these prestigious awards for excellence in news reporting given to PBS, NPR, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, Bloomberg News, HBO and the BBC. Nickelodeon even won a Peabody Award for public service. These awards organizations recognize excellence in news quality and not popularity or commercial success. How many news journalism awards has Fox News won? None! Fox News has zero awards for journalism. It worries me that Fox “News” is watched by more people than other credible news sources.
  2. Read the article and then come back and post something that makes sense. Why is it that Reich Wing Conservatards have 100% faith in our legal system when it comes to the death penalty, while at the same time they block bringing the Guantanamo detainees here to the USA for prosecution? Their own words state that their is no way that the USA could conduct fair trials for the detainees. How can the same exact system be trusted to conduct fair trials for those accused of capital crimes? This would be yet another example of the utter hypocrisy of the Reich Wingers. They can't tell fact from fiction, truth from lies, and have no understanding of US history and the lessons to be learned from it. Truly sickening
  3. As it should be everywhere. It's 2015 kids. You can get ID and frankly I don't know how in 2015 you live life without one. More drivel from the Reich Wing Conservatards. There are a lot of old people, and a lot of poor people, who don't have Ids that meet the absurdly high standards put in place by the scumbags that hate democracy. The voter ID laws have been put in place for one reason only. That is to prevent old people, and poor people who don't have IDs, from voting. That is all that those heinous laws accomplish. There has NOT EVER been an election where actual VOTING FRAUD was an issue. NONE. Why do conservatives HATE the USA and democracy so much? They know they can't win elections fairly, so they corrupt the rules to force an unfair advantage. The scumbags that support them are ignorant idiots.
  4. The point is that it's probably redundant. Any reasonable healthcare service should already have general regulations covering such instances instead of needing a specific provisions for any object you could care to name. Otherwise you'd end up with a countless number of [Insert Item] Owners' Privacy Acts. Unless you agree with a doctor being able to refuse treatment if a patient refuses to answer questions about what brand of refridgerator they use? Since when does a refrigerator, when used as the product is designed to be used, have a very high likelihood to kill or injure people? Especially likely if operated by a child or angry adult. I have seen some asinine arguments and rationalizations on this board, here, but this one is far more ridiculous than the usual drivel. A gun, be it a handgun, shotgun, or rifle, is designed to have a very high likelihood to kill that which it is directed against. No rational person could make an argument that a refrigerator has the same lethal potential. Utterly ridiculous. This is what passes for rational thinking these days? A refrigerator equated with firearms? Unbelievable!
  5. Ahem...post 44 - Perhaps the government ought to spend more time going after employers who hire illegals Do you like your crow served warm or cold? I missed reading a post in this thread? One post. Gee, that is SO awful. I feel really bad... NOT! Maybe you could go find the message I replied to. At the time the message was written, that was as far as I had gotten into the thread. As of that time not a one of the RWCs had brought up the concept of going after the employers. Just out of curiosity, how many of the RWCs went along with you, and how many didn't?
  6. The Reich Wing Conservatives got exactly what they asked for in Georgia. A crackdown on undocumented immigrants. The unintended consequences of the crackdown caused major economic damage. Imagine that. The exact results that were predicted by LIBERALS occurred exactly as predicted. The average RWC learned NOTHING from the Georgia experience. Their media outlets still promote fictitious bullshit that gets parroted by the RWCs. Billy's post - Maybe if we can get a Republican in the white house, he'll get that border secured. We built the Panama Canal over 100 years ago. We can put up a 2000 mile wall line and topped with concerta wire. Enough is enough with all the fucking illegals pouring in.
  7. How else could all of the businesses that hire undocumented immigrants be able to take advantage of the low wages they'll accept? You can't exploit the needy without a "legal" way to to do so. I see NONE of the Reich Wing Conservatives that despise "illegals" mention anything about punishing businesses that HIRE the people that they despise. I can hear it now. The RWCs will reply with "That would hurt small businessmen. How are they supposed to find out legal or illegal status? It isn't the business owners responsibility to deal with those issues. etc, etc" If there was a substantial fine, say $25,000.00, and a 60 day mandatory jail sentence for any business owner or corporate officer that knowingly hired illegal immigrants, the employment opportunities for the people the RWCs despise would dry up quick. The labor pool would shrink considerably. This would cause increasing wages for the people who have legal status, but won't work for cheap. A win for the folks at the low end of the economic ladder.
  8. The "Morons on BHO and Benghazi" thread continues. It is amazing that with the multiple investigations done by the best and the brightest the Reich Wing has to offer (Issa is an intellectual giant of our era, right up there with Hawking... NOT) they still haven't found a damn thing that match the Reich Wing media machine fantasies. How many times does "There is nothing to our allegations" have to be said, and how many ways does it have to be phrased, before you can accept the truth? The idiots that keep falling for the Reich Wing Conservetard stories are right up there with the birthers as far as being a sad example of just how STUPID some people are.
  9. Chew on this one for a bit. http://blogs.findlaw.com/law_and_life/2013/10/legal-for-kids-to-drink-alcohol-with-parents.html . . . and wine and beer are a part of life in Europe - it doesn't seem to do anything but produce more liberals. Yes, those Europeans do raise better educated, more well rounded children than do American families. They speak multiple languages and have a much better understanding of world history and politics. That is why they end up liberal. They aren't stupid, ill-educated, and close minded like the dumbasses in the USA that are Reich Wing Conservatives and their followers. Did you hear about the teabagger Republitard that thought that you could do gynecological exams via an orally swallowed camera?
  10. You are pissed off because she declined to answer stupid questions from teabagger morons? What Reich Wing Conservative media outlet planted these ridiculous ideas in the fertile soil of RWC follower's ignorance?
  11. So your belief is that the special tax treatment carved out for the extremely wealthy over the past thirty years is both justified and is not something that should be subject to change? Could you possibly see your way clear to support extremely wealthy people paying the same percentage of their income in income and FICA taxes as a person who makes 100,000 per year? Would that be fair? This is a yes or no question. Why is it that income that is EARNED by one's work taxed at HIGHER rates than UNEARNED income that comes from interest or investments? In other words, why is money that is made simply by having a lot of money taxed at LESSER rates than money that is earned by actual labor? We the people sure are a gullible lot to put up with that bullshit. The tax code used be set up totally opposite to how it is now. Since the Reagan disaster of an administration, the tax code has been rewritten to flip this 180 degrees. And the gullible buy this as being a good thing. Trickle down economics was correctly called "voodoo economics" by Bush1. I describe it as "piss on the little people" economics. As Leona Helmsley said, only little people pay taxes.
  12. Every time the FACTS of a situation are pointed out to the Reich Wing Conservatives, they simply refuse to acknowledge them. Facts are completely meaningless to them. All that matters is "truthiness" that backs up the opinions of their media outlets that they parrot verbatim. The Rescumlicans started plotting against the "Kenyan socialist" (translation, that fucking nigger!) as soon as McCain lost the election. They have done everything possible to prevent any forward progress by this administration, to the point of intentionally sabotaging efforts to fix the economy. These same fucktards then verbally vomit bullshit about the president being seen as weak by Putin, Jong Un, etc. The fucktards are allowed to have it both ways by the Reich Wing Conservative followers. In the real world, if you do everything that you can to undercut, demean, insult, and heckle a sitting US president, you can't then turn around and bitch about the perception that he is weak. The fucktards have made that perception happen by their own actions. Then they have the gall to bitch about it, and the RWC followers stupidly go along with the fucktards. The RWCs are driving the USA to ruin, and are very proud of themselves for doing so. It is quite stunning to see.
  13. Mother Jones has yet to be documented as having their FACTS wrong in any of their articles. Faux Spews has many documented instances of outright lies being broadcast, then repeated over and over again, even after accurate facts had been presented in other media outlets. Lush Rimjob has had books written documenting his lies. You may not like how Mother Jones writes their articles, but they ALWAYS have the facts correct. Extreme sarcasm on// I look forward to the Reich Wing Conservatives and Faux Spews holding O'Reilly to the same standards as Brian Williams has been by his employers. //Extreme sarcasm off That is sarcasm because facts don't matter to the Reich wing and its followers. Truthiness rules. It was very professional for O'Reilly to voice his hurt feelings as follows - In one interview with TVNewser, he even appeared to threaten Corn, saying, "When everybody writes the truth, I've talked to about eight or nine reporters, and when they verify what I'm saying, because it's easily verifiable, then I expect David Corn to be in the kill zone. Where he deserves to be."
  14. Edited to add ***Compiled by populartechnology.net and reproduced here with permission As a stellar example of what passes for "intelligence" in Reich Wing Conservative circles, Marc posts - Don't confuse me with factual websites that have real, documented, factual information on them. I have my own web sites that agree with what my fearless leaders in the Reich Wing Media tell me to believe. Here is the link and some excess spew about the content. Also known as "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up!"
  15. The USA should not bother with whacked out conspiracy theories. Did you read the Slate story? Do you deny the conclusions that are expressed in the story? In other words, were the lynchings were an expression of "Christian" supremacy over black people, or not? Odds are the folks in your community would gladly lynch a Muslim, if they could get away with it. Your own writings make that very clear.
  16. Perhaps you might read a bit about religious rituals that occurred in your part of the world within the past 130 years. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2015/02/jim_crow_south_s_lynching_of_blacks_and_christianity_the_terror_inflicted.html It seems likely that if such rituals were happening now, you and the other "christians" in the community in which you now reside would gleefully and wholeheartedly participate in such rituals without a shred of shame or guilt. It is all part of God's plan, eh? This is one example that proves President Obama's point about religion and the heinous activities that have been performed in the name of God, or Allah, depending on which theology you follow. There are plenty more. They are quite easy to find. Real historical facts can be very unpleasant to contemplate.
  17. Let people and private businesses choose who they do business with and then let the market decide? That's just crazy talk. Didn't one of the Senators from Kentucky, the orthodondist with a famous racist father, get in trouble for uttering similar ridiculous ideas? It seems that both the Senator and the poster, as well as the rest of the ignorant Reich WIng Conservatives, do not unsderstand the legal concept of "Public Accomodations". I know that it is asking quite a lot for the ignorant to educate themselves, especially when the new knowledge will conflict with strongly held opinions.
  18. Today's info from the links at Bad Cop No Donut. Feel free to go directly to the site and look at the links. New ones are posted every day. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut/ For this one, funny how LEOs can kill and main civilians with impunity, but when civilians react to no knock raids like good NRA members, they are prosecuted and convicted, in spite of have been "standing their ground" and defending their home against armed invaders. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/this-is-what-happens-when-a-civilian-kills-a-cop-during-a-no-knock-drug-raid/#.VMHeYDhl_oo.reddit Can any of the LEO defenders come up with why holding bad cops accountable for their crimes is wrong? http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/crime/fl-anthony-caravella-dna-7-million-20150122-story.html I hope that this person has the resources to hold the bad cops in this video accountable for the assault and battery that was performed for no valid reason. http://filmingcops.com/ufc-fighter-attacked-by-police-tased-for-asking-them-to-identify-themselves/ How many civilians could commit the crimes that this LEO did, and be able to avoid jail? http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/tenn-deputy-could-avoid-jail-despite-taking-nude-photos-and-fondling-female-suspect/#.VMFudPFi7g8.reddit I am confident that there are far more stories about bad cops that don't get posted on the BCND site.
  19. Monitor bad cop no donut yourself. Count up the new posts every day that link to new stories about badLEOs. Filter out the non-USA LEOs. I figure about nine new reports show up each day. Multiply that by 365. That is what shows up on that one site. There are quite a few site like BCND. The heinous actions of LEOs now gets greater coverage than the pre-Internet days. Given my own personal experience with corrupt cops and judges who believe them, I believe that BCND shows a tiny percentage of what happens. I am sure that the victims of the bad LEOs that you pass off as being a "tiny percentage" of the LEO population are comforted by that dismissal of the issue.
  20. Crazy shit came out of the weak minds of many who posted on this thread. Nothing in my original post referenced anything about what lawrockets post here rants about. What a bizarre and crazy conclusion to come to. The Reich Wingers truly are nuts.
  21. Pretty much the reaction to be expected for a Reich Wing follower. Thanks for proving my point.
  22. Bad cop, no donut links from today follow. The links are updated every day with new info on bad cops. The site is at http://www.reddit.com/r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut/ Check it out every day. Many cops are NOT the saint that was the subject of the original post. For example - http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cop-guilty-caught-video-stomping-subdued-mans-face/#KXZg4E1qwy22BV0h.16 http://5newsonline.com/2015/01/14/fired-officer-who-released-report-on-undercover-cops-sex-act-with-prostitute-sues-police/ http://photographyisnotacrime.com/2015/01/broward-deputies-investigated-shooting-gun-window-nearly-striking-palm-beach-deputies/ http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/ex-baltimore-labeled-rat-police-brutality-claim-article-1.2077632 http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2015/01/14/officer-arrest-video/21771801/ http://countercurrentnews.com/2015/01/cops-say-its-not-fair-they-were-forced-to-resign/ http://countercurrentnews.com/2014/11/cop-who-frisked-darrin-manning-back-on-job/ I'll post more links tomorrow.
  23. Times change The USA executed Japanese war criminals after WWII for torturing POWS by waterboarding them. The people who are responsible for the USA waterboarding POWs have yet to be arrested, tried, and convicted for their criminal acts. Half the population does not see their actions as illegal, despicable acts. Quite the contrary. The RWC media has convinced the sheeple that ShrubCo, et al, performed their crimes in morally defensible and legal manner. The drift of the moral compass of the USA towards degeneracy is remarkable. Thanks to the Reich Wing Media machine, actions that are war crimes aren't war crimes when the USA commits the act. When done to our citizens, the acts are worthy of the death penalty. When done by the USA to citizens of other countries, the acts are acceptable ad OK. Two faced sons of bitches is how the rest of the world sees us. Is it any wonder that a good portion of the rest of the world hates us with intense passion?
  24. AssUme Reich Wing Conservatard jumps in with a personal attack and no comment from the Moderators. Assumptions are the mother of many mistakes. Your mistake is due to a lack of knowledge, and having an ignorant asshole Reich Wing Conservatard attitude..
  25. You are free to pass over any posting I make without reading it As for the rest of the Reich Wing Conservatards here, there is an extremely short list of people who's opinions actually matter to me. That list contains far fewer than ten names. No one on this board makes the list. In other words, I don't give a rat's ass what the 'tards here think about me. Your opinions are meaningless. The fact is that the pinhead that is the subject of this thread has shown that he is clueless and ignorant, as are the 'tards that post here. Those kind of people are Republicans.
