I’m sure this isn’t the first validly stupid idea presented, but well done. Yes, that was indeed stupid of them. I’m mildly curious how they got the full report in the first place. Firings and/or criminal charges should be in play. ---

Just to bring closure to this sub-thread from the sock: I think the article is readable if you first disable JavaScript. (Or, you can save the page and view it with some other mechanism – this would be inconvenient since over 94% of the webpage’s contents is Javascripts and other stuff irrelevant to the content.) I don’t know if the sock had its browser in a non-Javascript mode inadvertantly, or whether its point was _Hey, I’m so stupid I fall for all the right-wing brainwashing; but you guys are so stupid you can’t even guess to disable Javascript!_ ---

I have NoScript on by default and the link opens fine as long as NoScript is blocking all the Java. As soon as I start temporarily allowing some of the Java on the site to load, I get the block. ---

I’m quite willing to believe that across the US population, there’s not really a difference between conservatives and liberals in intelligence. So I am at a loss to understand why the vast majority of conservatives who post here are abjectly fucking stupid. This dumbass Rand-guzzler doesn’t even grasp the difference between a columnist and a newspaper. I’m sure the deeper irony that I was trying to observe for him went right over his head. ---

Why would a liberal newspaper hire a conservative columnist? Just for giggles? Please do have fun rubbing bunny feet. ---

> [@D\_Anconia](#): > > Why would a liberal newspaper hire a conservative columnist? Just for giggles? > > Please do have fun rubbing bunny feet. Okay, now you’re just trying to look really fucking stupid, aren’t you? Yes, they do. Not all media outlets are biased partisan shills like Fox. They’ll hire them, they’ll run columns from national conservatives. They seem to think it’s valuable to represent different perspectives. You ought to try reading a newspaper once. And if you google “John Kass conservative” you’ll find that he explicitly states he is a conservative. Moron. ---
