They “radicalize” the ignorant!
Cite?
The women on fox news are more attractive.
They’re both controlled by Rubert bin-Muhammed Murdoch.
Off to IMHO.
It’s always been profitable to tell people that they have been wronged and should be outraged.
**What do Militant Islamism and Fox News have in common?
**They both display the puzzled-dog-sideways-head look when Ozzy speaks.
When attempting to advance their political agenda, truth/reality plays a minimal role in how they decide to frame things.
Really, this is pretty rude. OK, you don’t like Fox, I get it, but Fox doesn’t send out people loaded with explosives expressly to kill Jews and Americans, nor does Fox mutilate women’s genitals or encourage wife beating (yeah, that’s in the Koran).
Maybe people on this board need to step back and rethink their knee-jerk hatred of conservatives. Liberals are always gabbing on about how they tolerate everyone and welcome diversity, but they never speak the second part of their sentence…“UNLESS YOU’RE CONSERVATIVE.” You’re not making your ideology look very attractive here.
OK, let the flaming, snarking, and hating begin!
Hard to say which post is dumber the Op or this one. Both use broad brushes and the over-the-top generalizations.
“Spare the rod and spoil the child” is in the Bible. Does that mean Christianity encourages child abuse?
Also, Fox does whip up hatred, and that’s not entirely unrelated to the thousands of deaths in Iraq and Syria. Moreover, the Koran is a medieval document, and can hardly be held responsible for how it’s used in 2015. Nor is there a central authority for Islam, or even Militant Islamism, that we can point to. So Islam doesn’t “send out people loaded with explosives expressly to kill Jews and Americans.” Influential leaders do, but they’re not acting in concert and they have limited authority. The people they have killed are just as dead, of course, so I’m not defending them, but it’s not like the Pope of Islam is out there decreeing doctrine.
Plus, I was circumsized right there in America, which is religiously inspired genital mutilation. Apples to oranges when compared to the horror that is FGM, I know, but I’m just saying that your vilification isn’t very nuanced when compared to reality, and you’re letting Fox off rather easily.
It’s the kind of thread liberals would start to marginalize a group whose ideas they don’t share.
… or an epistemologist!
Both dislike the French.
Obama polls badly with both groups’ core demographics.
Both are strongly emotional when talking about the American military.
Both groups’ members tend to be in a religion that prominently features Jesus.
Both supported invading Iraq.
Both have supported attacks against Assad’s regime.
Neither express strong concern for the well being of the Kardashians.
Neither think Nancy Pelosi has any business in government.
Neither have used the phrase “I’m going to Disneyland” to describe their plans after gaining world domination.
I proceeded straight to snark.![]()
Well, the Old Testament (where the proverb comes from) is a good deal older than the Koran, so I don’t think Christianity should be held responsible for that, either.
I personally don’t watch Fox, but I also don’t care for Islam. Yes, I did paint liberals with a broad brush, but by the same token, isn’t that exactly what they do with conservatives? At least IME in the time I’ve been lurking/posting here, the nastiness from liberals is much more venomous than anything that’s coming from the conservatives.
How could you tell?
There can be no stronger venom IMHO that lying to their viewers so as to prevent the government from doing its job.
They both want to frighten the American public.
Some people who are fan-boys of each occasionally try to shoot innocent people who are minding their own business and are just trying to live their lives?
