I read what was posted primarily the bold.......................either way it's an ideological attack thread now isn't it.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?
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, and in the long run, dangerous for democracy.
1. The thread title portends an ideological attack. You don't start an intelligent discussion by calling people wackos. Seems I recall a rule for zone 2 expressly noting thread titles as a reason to move threads form zone 2 forums.
Zone 2 Posting Rules
2. The left has been calling their opposition evil and accusing them of killing people for decades. It was one of the principle tactics in Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. The very principles your dear leader ascribed to and taught.
So pot, meet kettle.

1. It's an attack, if you want to feel like a victim. If you decide that you are personally part of the "right wing wackos" the OP is talking about, then you can feel hurt by it, and use that as a way to avoid the topic.
The topic, on the other hand, is legitimate.
2. If you like, you are welcome to provide examples to support your argument that "The left" has been doing this for decades. But that isn't really the point, is it?
