You, Sir, are as bad as Hitler!
Worse, actually. Hitler was a vegetarian. I fuck 'em and eat 'em.
“Recreational Scorn”, so to speak?
Oh, good heavens. :rolleyes:
Okay, then…fox and drudge and cnn and nbc and cbs and abc and upi and ap and reuters and the washington post and the beeb and t
But NOT pravda or the mumbai mirror, because they are bastions of journalistic integrity in a world sadly awash in sensationalism.
Oh.
My.
God.
Can you POSSIBLY leave off the hyper-sensitive political agenda for ONE
FRICKIN’
MINUTE??
Geeeeeez. [insert rolleyes emoticon the size of Dubai here]
Not everything in the world has to do with politics. And it’s doubly ironic because I am one of the LEAST

Rest of post follows.
Not everything in the world has to do with politics, m’kay? And it’s doubly ironic for you to assume a “[fill-in-the-blank]-wing” agenda here, because I am one of the LEAST political posters here at the SDMB. I NEVER get involved in political debates, I NEVER post political “stuf”. I don’t give a rat’s ass who’s in office, they’re all the same.
But no, we MUST have the kneejerk paranoid political response, because EVERYBODY out there, it is well known, must have SOME kind of left-wing or right-wing bias, and therefore every post they make MUST be gone through with a fine-tooth comb for that bias. And thus an offhand remark about “Fox and Drudge” suddenly turns into “oh my god she’s biased against right-wing news outlets”.
Peer out through the curtains at the Gray Men in their van much?
Geez. Give me strength.

Fucking hell DDG that post deserves a thread of its own. 
I find your group fasinating and I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter. 
I assume you meant FoxNews. But to be fair, CNN, Al Jazeera, and other left-leaning news sources publish just as much RO as the right-leaning ones.
Why is this a SFTTTIAA?
(now there is a stupid fucking acronym. I wonder if you did it on purpose)
Yes, but what if jjimm’s kitten raping cabal were to rape Hitler’s kitten? If you do a bad thing to a bad person’s kitten would that be a push? Probably all things considered more of a putsch.
You know Liberal , a lot of the times I agree with some of what you say. I’m a fiscal conservative and a social liberal, kind of a small “l” libertarian. However, when you say that Al Jazeera is left leaning you are so full of shit you squeak. Do you ever listen to what you say, or does it just come out, kind of stream of consciousness?
Oh, please. :rolleyes: How’s the weather up there on that high horse of yours?
In your post which I answered, you clearly singled out Fox and Drudge as being the offenders in posting RO-inspiring news items that the good SDMB Pitizens had decided was beneath them to get worked up about. To be exact, you said:
"…a consensus was reached that the SDMB Pitizens are collectively tired of people posting threads about the various and sundry horrors that Drudge and Fox serve up every 15 minutes like clockwork."
First, how is one supposed to extrapolate from this that you meant the news media in general when you clearly lay the blame for these types of items squarely at the foot of Fox and Drudge; and second, given that this is the SDMB and that many of its members like to consider themselves both intellectually and morally superior to the knuckle-dragging, bible-thumping followers of both of these news sites, how is it such a stretch of the imagination to assume you meant to single them out for political reasons?
If you meant the news media in general, why didn’t you just say ’ the news media’, instead of singling out the two news sources most widely considered around here to be pro right-wing? I suspect the real culprit is your own bias, which sneaked through in your post and which you are now back-pedaling like crazy (and getting all worked up over in the process) in an attempt to conceal it.
I thought it also stood for a sarcastic “righteous outrage” as well. Maybe just in my head.
So, if everything everyone posts is classified by you Murkins as left or right, how do you view posts from non-Murkins? Do you just hear a sort of “mwooom mwooom” sound like the adults from Charlie Brown as you look at them?
That sounds oxymoronic. Is that why it’s sarcastic?
Yup. Just like that. For ALL Canadians. And ALL their posts.
What?
I’ll try to explain the joke, although humor seldom survives an explanation. See, Duck Duck Goose (DDG) is a board old timer whom I used to see a lot, but who doesn’t post nearly so much anymore. Seeing her name in the thread was a rare and delightful treat. When I saw that she used Drudge and Fox (sic) as outlets that perpetrate RO dreck, I knew for a near certainty that someone from the right would respond to her entire post, dealing with only that portion. Sure enough, it was so. Now, in the old days (not to disparage the new days), DDG’s post were extremely well researched, linked, cited, footnoted, bolded, organized, color-coded, and otherwise meticulously crafted. This was to the degree that she actually caught some shit over it eventually, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is that responding to a DDG post by isolating a single fairly insignificant turn of phrase from context was sort of like lifting a verse from the Bible and using it to condemn Catholic dogma. Or homosexuals. God hates America. Or whatever. As witnessed by DDG’s response to said context stripping, I took upon myself the opportunity to offer her a straightline (hence: CNN and Al Jazeera), to which she could respond with a humorous riff, a roll-eyes, or even a “Hi, Lib! Long time no see!” So, I may be full of shit, but if I may offer some humble advice, you could stand a bit of a longer fuse.
Now you’ve got me wondering what I meant by sarcastic. I think maybe I just meant righteous outrage - like, look how much more outraged I am than you are! I must be a better person! Ostentatious outrage?
I KNEW it!
Depends. Was Hitler’s kitten ever a slaveowner?
