Yep, what I replied to the OP showed that the right wing media and many posters are indeed falling for dumb reasoning and misleading conclusions.

So when Clothy comes in with:

What the evidence shows here is that first he is falling, like many conservatives nowadays, to typically fall for the current ignorance coming from right wing sources. But, now in this thread the evidence does pile up that Clothy is dumber because he is willfully ignoring the posts, that did not bother to mock him already, that reported why **that article was not really interesting but misleading**. (What is worse is that some items were already discussed to death in this message board)

He is demonstratively dumber because he still has not told us that well… it is not really an interested article. It was misleading and that it was found that that and other sources were more misleading and essentially lying to their readers/viewers. As it has been the case with many right wing sources nowadays.

Seems you fail even as a 5 year-old **Clothyderp.** We can’t blame a traumatic potty training as that didn’t happen until age 12 or so for you.

Sigh. Let me explain exactly what I meant in my post, so that you might possibly quit making shit up about me.

I said that the post was interesting. I said that because I found it to be interesting. Please note that I did NOT comment one way or the other as to whether I agreed with it or not, whether it was misleading or not, or any of the other things. I simply said it was interesting. Period.

I then said thanks for posting it. That is called common courtesy. You folks might try it sometime.

Morgenstern, you are a truly dumb fuck. I can only assume that you are trolling me, because stupidity at the level you are exhibiting is just astounding.

Since I seem to upset you so much by being right all the time and having the gall to point out what an asshole you are being, why don’t you just put me on ignore? That way, you can direct your childish little tantrums at someone else, and I won’t have to put up with your bullshit.

You’re as transparent as a vacuum. You wanted opinions on a completely inaccurate and excessively biased list of Right wing stereotypes of liberals.  
Example.  
The RNC and Trump have awarded some news agencies “Fakies” awards as a way of undermining credibility. Is that promoting “freedom of the press” for the government to attempt to throttle the press?  
Apparently, despite the First Amendment, conservatives believe the press should be an instrument of government.  
That’s love of the Constitution? And yet liberals are accused of doing that. Can you name a single time Obama did something comparable?

I must be getting to you. You’re mumbling terrible words, your lips are quivering and I can see the veins bulging from your skinny little neck while you McJudo chop your keyboard while trying to convince yourself that you’re not on the verge of a meltdown. Anyway, ignoring you is out of the question. I’ll stay here on the side of the sane posters pointing at and mocking you. Thank you for the idea though.

ETA. Don’t you have some kids to fleece?

I will have to notice that Clothy is not willing to tell us if he does now know that the article was misleading at least (as shown already). That is why one has to assume that the blind spots Clothy and others are getting from the right wing media are growing, and so is the growing ignorance that the Republicans are getting from their media about science and other issues.

This is part of why you’re mocked. I offered a chance at an actual discussion, no insults. You seem incapable of actually debating an issue.

I feel obliged to point out that mindlessly calling other posters five-year-olds is, well, I’ve heard better arguments (and insults) from five-year-olds.

And seriously, the only rational takeaway from “A very interesting read. Thanks for posting it” is “I think this Mike Rowe has the right of it”. Well, that or “I know this guy is kind of full of it, but liberals don’t like his bullshit, so I do!”

I have two thoughts here;

Either

“[Well have you ever considered having the kind of toenail fungus that is sentient?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVkYaZXCl8U)” 🙂

or

“Oh my, Chothy is talking to his toes again…” :rolleyes:
