turtlegirl37 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I guess I went too far by saying that she wasn't a fascist. That remains to be seen, doesn't it? Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Did you use Mussolini just to avoid using Hitler? I hate to have to point this out, but Sarah Palin isn't quite as bad as Mussolini. Yeah, she's a little dumb and probably shouldn't be Vice President, but she is no fascist. And again, it's not like Obama is sweeping his family under the rug. I would not condone a crowd booing him and his family either. Sometimes for the sake of argument I find it helpful to exaggerate. Kind of find some parameters..... so far she's not as bad as Mussolini. Maybe more Margaret Thatcher after a head injury. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Da Dogg Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 The tolerance for Palin and other ideals is amazing. I guess if you are not blue than you are a racist homo-scaredee cat. oh and Jesus would not vote for either a Republican or a Democrat. They are both way to controlling of personal lives of others.

LouieB Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Her kids didn't ask for her to be a total moron, either.Actually laughed out loud to this in real life..... I am angered by a Fox News talking head saying that Barak Obama needs to apologize to John McCain for the statements that John Lewis made. that is total shit.Actually he sort of did apologize for this. Check the news comrade. Barack is a very savvy polititican. John Lewis was essentially correct, there is a heavy racist undertone to some of the statements being promligated by the McCain campaign, but even though he is right, Obama took the high road even in the face of criticizing one of his supporters.

Fox News, once you overcome the anger and sadness it sort of forces you to feel inside, is almost, if not more entertaining than The Daily Show. The key, for me at least, is to view it as a satire of an all news cable news channel and/or a fascinating look into the mind of Roger Ailes - because when you watch Fox you can almost feel it, what a bleak and merciless world he lives in.

bjorn_skurj Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I think if you looked inside Sarah Palin's head, you would find she's much closer to semi-wacko libertarianism than fascism, though the political spectrum tends to fold together at the end. IF Sarah Palin was to become president, I am afraid of two things happening: 1. - If she really believes the version of Christianity she is said to believe in, specifically the belief that Armageddon is to happen in our time, that belief may impair her judgment if a nuclear situation arises. (Admittedly, a long shot, but a nuclear war would really, really suck.) and 2., she'll appoint some total states'-rights wacko to the Supreme Court, and everything from Roe v. Wade to Brown v. Board of Ed. will be overturned, leading to a wide disparity in personal liberty and civil rights from state to state. Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Dear trol, er, I mean, Da Dogg - I actually take my news from multiple sources, few of which would be considered mainstream - and rarely, if ever, watch MSNBC. I tune into Fox occasionally because I really do find it fascinating and hysterical - and when I, or, more accurately, my wife and I watch it, we laugh and talk back at the screen all Mystery Science Theater-like - you asshat.

sweetheart-mine Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 QUOTE (Good Old Neon @ Oct 12 2008, 06:47 PM) *Fox News, once you overcome the anger and sadness it sort of forces you to feel inside, is almost, if not more entertaining than The Daily Show. The key, for me at least, is to view it as a satire of an all news cable news channel and/or a fascinating look into the mind of Roger Ailes - because when you watch Fox you can almost feel it, what a bleak and merciless world he lives in. [and dadogg adds sarcastically: ..."I get my information from watching MSNBC , they tell the truth."] fox, with its claim on "fair and balanced" reporting, has pretty much become a caricature of itself. i try to take it seriously, because i seriously want to compare its kind of coverage with that of other stations, but really, it is like watching satire. MSNBC doesn't hide whatever biases some of its commentators have behind some flunky slogan. it's "the place for politics." it doesn't pretend to present everything as "balanced," i'd guess because for some reason the station's corp finds it at least tolerable to regularly broadcast some commentators trying to compensate for the huge biases, never mind outright lies, of the bush administration, its aspiring heirs, and the radio and tv stations that pretend to have a corner on the truth.

Good Old Neon Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Is this board not tolerant of free speech? I would rather listen to Heavy Metal Drummer two times in a row then go through all your droll, I do not believe you when you write that you have been just as critical if not more of Obama. Do you want me to make fun of Palin in a way that shows the epitome of liberalism? Which is to fight for freedom of speech, woman's rights, tolerance of others and all that other jazz until it gets in the way of the liberals ideals.
