Stupid liberal idea of the day

It will make you wonder if liberals even realize what they are saying

Saint Ronny

The horrors of the Stockton schoolyard shooting prompted renewed debate over restricting public access to weapons like the type Purdy had used at Cleveland Elementary School. On 6 February 1989, former president Ronald Reagan, then just a few weeks out of office, attended a 78th birthday celebration thrown for him at the University of Southern California, where he delivered a 22-minute address that touched on such topics as the federal deficit, the constitutional amendment limiting presidents to two terms, and the recent Cleveland School massacre. Of the latter topic, an Associated Press account reported that:

Reagan received extended applause when answering a question about over-the-counter military weapons, such as the AK-47 assault rifle used to gun down five Stockton schoolchildren last month.

“I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen for sporting, for hunting and so forth, or for home defense,” he said. “**But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of a home.”**

Publishing an article about how Trump teamed up with the Nazis to steal Christmas is certainly indicative of massive drug and alcohol consumption.

How Trump and the Nazis Stole Christmas To Promote White Nationalism - Newsweek

This article doesn’t say that. Yes, those are roughly the scary words in the stupid headline, but the article doesn’t say that. At all.

As an aside, I really hate how headlines and ledes have become more and more about clicks and less and less about concise and clear summaries of the content.

Are you too stupid or too lazy to actually link to it?

I think he’s too banned to link it.

OTOH, it does let you know who reads past the headlines.

I don’t think C’hump even got as far as the end of the headline. Simply restated & quoted Stilton then posted the link to the article.

@Skywatcher

Lemme guess, you only read what Stilton had to say and didn’t bother with the actual article:

You guessed wrong. But thanks for playing anyway.

In fairness to C-hump, he’s come this far in life without reading anything that would remotely challenge his ignorance. He’s not about to break that streak now. He’s in the home stretch of dying as stupid as he lived.

Sigh. Given that I am the one posting the stupid liberal action that you are responding to, and you have no clue whatsoever about it, you might want to rethink which one of us is going to die stupid. Here’s a clue for you, since I know you won’t be able to figure it out for yourself: it’s not me.

OK, you didn’t comprehend what the article said.

I very much doubt your capacity for understanding anything longer than 280 characters, written in orange English. Sad!

That’s English?

Jawohl!

As the year winds to a close, Newsweek makes a valiant effort to win the thread. And damned if I don’t think they will win the Liberal Idiots Of The Year Award for 2017.

Publishing an article about how Trump teamed up with the Nazis to steal Christmas is certainly indicative of massive drug and alcohol consumption. It sure isn’t indicative of anything even remotely resembling journalism. As usual, Stilton says it best:

1-What makes this liberal?
2-What makes Newsweek liberal?

I know the answers, though. You disagree with them, therefore they must be liberal.

Actually, they kinda agree with him. Paraphrasing the article: “Trump hasn’t gone nearly as far as the Nazis in promoting his vision of the holidays and there are major flaws in describing Trump as a Nazi-like figure.” He’s so ingrained with the Trumpeteers that he can’t see that.

Ah the “I know you are but what am I” gambit to which there is no counter. I have not seen it played with such finesse and artistry in 30 years*. I am smote to the core and must bow before your rhetorical skill.

Well done sir! Well done!

*I believe it was Billy Salzman and the debate in question centered around who was a poopy pants.

See, this is the problem with humpy; Even if you want to be generous and give him the benefit of the doubt, do you assume he:

[ul]
[li]Didn’t read the article and that’s why he’s misstating it?[/li][li]Read the article but didn’t understand it?[/li][li]Red the article and understood it but chose to ignore it?[/li][/ul]
So, at best you have to believe he’s a liar about reading the article, too stupid to comprehend it, or an immoral partisan hack who consciously chooses to repeat the lies he hears. Honestly the guy makes it impossible to cut him any slack.

[Knowed_Out]

C’hump’s standard conclusion is that whoever didn’t get the same meaning from the article as he did is stupid. He expresses this by reusing dinosaur-era comebacks.

As usual, you would be wrong. But don’t let that stop you.
