Comment Re: Wow, you sound like Beck's dream demographic (Score 1) 1276

Bzzzt Wrong! The VAST liberal base is Union workers and low income minorities.

Wow. I don't know where to begin. Is the liberal base really VAST, or is that not what you intended to say? I know scores of Liberals, some of whom might self-identify as part of the Democratic base. That "base" would be a small subset of all Liberals.

None of the Liberals I know are Union workers and low income minorities. None are even Union workers OR low income minorities. We are all highly educated, highly skilled, white and blue collar professionals. Perhaps because of the VAST numbers of liberals there are many distinct liberal groups, so it is unlikely that groups will cross paths with any significant frequency.

I could continue to dissect your post for sport, but I don't consider it a reasonable use of my time.

I will point out, however, that you very well illustrate the incoherent rambling of the extreme right that see content presented on Beck's and Limbaugh's programs as having some basis in reality, rather than the farcical and fact-free fabrications that they are.

BTW, there are reasons Fox media and their darlings like Sarah Palin attack the "mainstream media" and the "intellectual elite" on a regular basis. Those groups are fully capable of exposing factual and logical errors of the positions they espouse on a daily basis. Any exposure to reality threatens the power they are holding over their victims (followers).

our brains. Depending on your belief system, either

1) Over millions of years our physiology evolved to be resistant to these very recent influences

or

2) The all-powerful being that created everything 6,000 years ago molded the clay used to create man in such a way that there is some as-yet undiscovered shielding to protect our wetware.

To think there is some very subtle affect over time that may be highly dependent on the intensity, proximity, and frequency of these outside fields is, IMO, entirely baseless. Or maybe not.

I guess they could just have stacks and stacks of replacements on the ready.

Excess (especially with technological toys) is probably as American as football. After all, the best solution is the shiniest one that generates the most revenue for other companies, right?

Comment Assassination or Terrorism? (Score 2) 2166

Sure she was on the Tea-Party's hit list, and the Federal Judge slaughtered today had numerous prior death threats, but it's a bit early to call this an assassination.

6 people have died, at least an additional 6 injured.

To me, that doesn't seem to be very targeted.

Is is possible for a young white male to be a terrorist? I forget the rules.
