Perfect description of today's Right-Wing wackos

[eagle1462010]

Right now our side is winning............even with everything but the kitchen sink is thrown at Trump..........Regulations are being slashed, New Supreme Court Judge, ICE is enforcing the immigration laws again, Keystone pipeline, Federal Agencies are being cut back,

It's going good...............

If you think I'm talking about which side is "winning", you've missed my point entirely.

I see the point................not biting................the OP paints with a broad brush on evil the Republicans are while the other side burned and pillaged through the elections and after he was elected.............

It's an attack thread and you know it................perhaps I should post liberalism is a psychology in response......Always loved that one. Painting with a broad brush back at you.

This thread is only an "attack" if you really want to feel like a victim. Which you clearly do.

But that's not what I'm talking about.

A victim lies down and says please don't kill me................obviously I'm not that...............but if that is your impression so be it.

I simply don't care...............the title of the thread says enough for me it's true intent............

Right Wing Radicals...............no.........he's not trying to start something.........lol.........if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his butt when he flies.

You're still not getting it, are you?

I don't give a shit about what the OP is "trying to do", or what he really meant. I'm trying to discuss the article in the OP.

Yeah.......that we are all going to die and that all of us are paranoid....................

I address the intent of the OP..............You are trying to avoid it.

Have a nice day

 

[Synthaholic]

I do agree with Sykes that it's now time to confront and expose scum like Alex Jones instead of ignoring it. But Megyn Kelly is certainly not the one to do it.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

I read what was posted primarily the bold.......................either way it's an ideological attack thread now isn't it.

If you decide to take this thread as an "ideological attack", that's on you.

I see it as an interesting (and accurate) assessment of the rhetoric used by people like Alex Jones - that making every issue of apocalyptic importance, and every disagreement a battle between good and evil is destructive to rational discourse.

You're spending a lot of time telling people replying to you that's not what you're talking about. How about you get to the point and tell us what you're talking about?

 

[MaryL]

The right wing wackos are bad. Left wing wackos are better? Left wing wackos have been leading us down the road to perdition, and Obama and his ilk have just fed into lesser constructive alternatives that we never needed or asked for.

Have you read a single word of the article linked in the OP?

I'm going to guess no.

Tell you what - if you want to discuss the article, I'm happy to do so with you.

If you want to whine about how mean the OP is, and how upset you are at being attacked so viciously, I'll have to take a pass.

This is from a Charlie Sykes Op-Ed about Alex Jones:


Mr. Jones, Matt Drudge and President Trump himself have played a role in reviving what Richard Hofstadter called “The Paranoid Style in American Politics.” Reread in light of today’s politics, Hofstadter’s 1964 essay seems eerily prescient.

The paranoid spokesman, he wrote, saw the world “in apocalyptic terms — he traffics in the birth and death of whole worlds, whole political orders, whole systems of human values. He is always manning the barricades of civilization. He constantly lives at a turning point.”

At the center of the paranoid worldview, Hofstadter wrote, was a sense on the right that “America has been largely taken away from them and their kind, though they are determined to try to repossess it and to prevent the final destructive act of subversion.”

Since the situation is so dire and the stakes so high, the paranoid spokesman is not interested in half-measures. “He does not see social conflict as something to be mediated and compromised, in the manner of the working politician,” Hofstadter wrote.

Lol! You guys make up some dumb shit. Thanks for the laugh.

No, I have confidence that you could easily understand what I'm saying - if you stopped whining about how victimized by the OP you are, and just read the damn article.

So we're all just to dumb to get you.

A helpful hint: If you're going to make your intelligence a point of discussion, always proofread before posting.

 

[WaitingFor2020]

Looks like you did, too.

Seemed fitting..............left wing wacko did this...................as the OP straw mans us.............so what.

Did you read the article in the OP?

Or did you just read the headline, and think that was enough?

Who is making every utterance or action of the Trump administration into a battle between good and evil? It's worse than that, even. They are saying that Trump will destroy the Earth.

You ever read Trump's tweets? I suggest you sign up and follow him.

Ok I see a 50 year old essay by an ultra Liberal professor from Columbia University that says negative things about American Conservatives.

*yawn*

You're accusing Republicans of being paranoid? Really?

I think you missed the point. Maybe you should try reading it again.

What point have I missed? The first bolded paragraph describes so many on this forum who are hysterical over stopping Democrats from totally destroying America - that we're in our last throes as a free society because of the evil Liberals.

I think you need to look at what post I was responding to.

Sorry. That's a big problem with the Ignore List - it totally hides the Ignored instead of just hiding their content. I've been happily ignoring bripat for years now.

Yeah, that's because you're a coward.

Except for the Special Counsel investigation into Trump and his money-laundering activities....Even Trump's lawyer has hired a lawyer. Yeah, it's going just great.

Yeah, seems as though she's gone from the frying pan to the fire.

No, just America. Hopefully he will be indicted on international money laundering charges and not only impeached but removed from office.
