What the hell were they thinking?

I'm guessing something along the lines of "Fucking Jews with all the worlds money, they ruined our entire economy! Goldman-Sachs!? Come on! Do they have to be that blatant about it?!!?"

Connecticut Republicans violate Twitter TOS, commit fraud, complain about free speech violations when caught.

I'm not really an expert on this kind of thing, but doesn't anybody read the rules these days? ANY rules, for that matter?

Quote from: Wiktionary

Noun

libel (plural libels)

1. A written (notably as handbill) or pictorial statement which unjustly seeks to damage someone's reputation.

For fuck's sake, this should be a no-brainer when your job is to engage in formal debate on a daily basis.

Since the conversation got derailed by the threadsplit, this was shared by Squizzle in #finalfight:

Basically, Fox correspondent had the GOP candidate for the New Jersey gubernatorial race for a short interview, and afterward, Shep Smith asks when we're going to hear from the Democrat candidate, and she just

, and Smith apologizes for the lack of balance.

Shepard Smith is the moral equivalent of an alzheimer's patient who, on occasion, remembers that he's human and also works at Fox News.

He also said that thinking Obama's policies would kill off Israel was dumb!

THIS is what Jesus would do... if he were a total asshole. (Catholic Archdiocese of Washington threatens to halt social services if a proposed same-sex marriage law is passed)

After a little further reading on Wikipedia, it looks like the Salvation Army pulled a similar stunt with it's soup kitchens in New York. Again, because of them damnable gheys.

To the saintly tactic of holding a loaded gun to the head of the disenfranchised!

Uh... did Rick Warren just declare God as exempt from logic? (Rick Warren tweets about how everything God says is true, even when two things contradict themselves)

Oh yeah, and my brother posted this with a mention about how Bill Whittle pwnz. I... I think I need to go for a walk or something...

Wait, what? Who are these thousands of Christians he's talking about?

TA · « **Reply #311 on:** December 01, 2009, 12:27:19 PM »

The babies murdered in the womb, who had not yet been turned against God by our satanic secular society.

O'Reilly pissed off that a fictional character made disparaging remarks toward him.

(The article is too lazy to mention, but the character is basically a one-shot straw liberal lawyer.)

Kind of makes me take a step back and think, "You know, Jack Thompson might have been right." Because we might be able to distinguish fact from fantasy, but sometimes it seems like most of his contemporaries can't.

EDIT: SHOCKING TWIST, it turns out that the character in question is also the episode's real murderer. So. Yeah.

You know, I came to this conclusion about the GOP awhile back. Basically, they're so hardcore set against banning books, games, movies, rap music or anything they think might encourage people to be violent because they themselves are susceptible to such trivial influences. This is a group that's modern policy leader, Ronald Reagan, spent a vast portion of his presidency stealing "stories" to tell from movies and painting up fictional images like the welfare queen. They also believe that 24 is a good source for considering foreign policy.

Catloaf · « **Reply #314 on:** December 12, 2009, 01:32:19 PM »

It's also why they believe that a strong belief in god and hell is so important. As they themselves are such horrible people that they assume everyone else is too, and heaven and hell are absolutely necessary for keeping everyone from killing and ass-raping each other constantly.

It's also why they think being gay is a choice, as they themselves are actually gay and choose to be straight because they think being gay will send them to hell.

Classic · « **Reply #315 on:** December 12, 2009, 01:36:21 PM »

They are also horrible people for hating on gays if being gay isn't a choice. That seems to be a big part of the dogma.

TA · « **Reply #316 on:** December 12, 2009, 02:28:24 PM »

That's something I've never quite understood. Even if sexual orientation were a choice, what the fuck difference does it make? Religion is obviously a choice, and discrimination on that basis isn't thought of as acceptable just because it isn't genetic.

Brentai · « **Reply #317 on:** December 12, 2009, 02:59:08 PM »

Uh, discrimination based on religion certainly is considered acceptable among fundamentalists. Encouraged, even. We're not talking about actual freedom-loving Americans here.

Norondor · « **Reply #318 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:34:06 PM »

Or human rights-loving humans.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #319 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:42:32 PM »

Or, hell, just people generally capable of feeling empathy for others.
