Howard Kurtz: Sarah Palin Could Have Struck A More Inclusive, Moderate Tone Merely By Confessing To The Left's Charges Against Her & Admitting She Was An Accomplice To Mass-Murder

This is why, for quality political insights, you don't come to a blog like mine. For this level of analysis, you need to read Howard Kurtz, star opinion columnist for ~~The Washington Post~~ The Daily Beast.

The Loughner Left:

Blood libel, for those who are not familiar, describes a false accusation that minorities—usually Jews—murder children to use their blood in religious rituals, and has been a historical theme in the persecution of the Jewish people.
Had Palin scoured a thesaurus, she could not have come up with a more inflammatory phrase.
As someone who has argued that linking her rhetoric to the hateful violence of Jared Loughner is unfair, I can imagine that the former governor was angry about how liberal detractors dragged her into this story. But after days of silence, she had a chance to speak to the country in a calmer, more inclusive way. She could have said that all of us, including her, needed to avoid excessively harsh or military-style language, without retreating one inch from her strongly held beliefs.
Instead she went the blood libel route.

Which would be an admission that she had something to do with this. Which she didn't.

Let me clue Howard Kurtz in: I am one of those who agrees, generally, that actually inciting language is dangerous, and should be restrained. I do in fact believe there are enough Category 3 types that we should have worries about this, and do our best, to the extent we can, to at least make sure such people do not get the erroneous impression that acts of violence would be applauded by any political cohort.

Here's why I'm not having that debate now -- because right now it is being used to create a false link to Palin, the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh, and me, and so no, I'm not interested in calmly, and in a mature fashion, discussing the ways in which I may, or may not be, an accomplice to mass murder.

That is what the Laughner Left demands as proof of "moderation."

Am I concerned about this issue, incitement? Indeed. And I'm no Johnny Come Lately on the issue, either, Howie-- I cared about it eight years ago when people were writing books about the assassination of George W. Bush (the book was on the Pro side of the issue) and, oh, what else? Movies about the assassination of George W. Bush (the movie was also, get this, on the Pro- side).

See, after screaming bloody murder about the Florida Democratic Party putting out a flyer suggesting that Donald Rumsfeld should be executed for war crimes, I noticed that no one in the media or on the left -- including Howard Kurtz -- was at all interested in taking up my crusade against incitement towards political violence.

But how things changed on January 11, 2009! Oh my! Now that we had a president in office we didn't want killed, oh dearie, how this became all that anyone cold talk about!

Now that be that as it may, I am still willing to talk about the issue-- because, unlike Howard Kurtz and the left, I don't want a president of either party assassinated. Unlike Kurtz and the left, I am not selective in my anti-assassination position. I am anti- all political assassinations. (Well, in America. I have a different opinion with respect to, say, Iran, but that's a completely different issue.)

So I am willing to discuss this, and say that yes, some incitement which urges, or seems to urge, violence against public figures is not just bad but pretty awful and un-American.

And I'm willing to do that now, as I was eight years ago, when it wasn't a very interesting topic for Howard Kurtz because, well, if Bush got killed, and so it goes.

But I'm not willing to discuss this now. Why not now? Because now the left isn't trying to have a discussion about inciting language -- if they were that concerned, they could have patrolled their own during the Bush Administration -- they're just interested in piling up political points and turning a massacre to their political advantage.

And by even indulging in this discussion, now, I tacitly agree with the left's charge that, oh yeah, by constantly saying incitement to political violence by anyone, right left or No Labels, is wrong, no matter who does it and no matter who is the target of it, I actually had a hand in the shootings in Tucson, because, well, I'm right-wing, which is Latin for "presumed guilty."

So no, I decline your generous offer to accept the blame you've laid at my feet, and I support Sarah Palin in similarly declining your selfless offer to profit by her demise.

And oddly enough-- even as Howard Kurtz offers to admit on Palin's behalf that she talked in violent code that resulted in murder -- I notice that not a single figure on the left is willing to do likewise.

I have not heard a single figure on the left say something like, "Honestly, I sort of said some things about Bush that were close to urging murder, and I regret that."

And I have not heard a single person in the media say, "Yeah, I guess if I have a problem with the 'Obama=Socialist' posters and think they're incitements to murder, maybe I should have said something about the 'Bush=Fascist" signs or 'Bush is a KILLER' signs; maybe they were incitements to violence, too. And maybe I gave them a pass because they're on the left, like me. And I shouldn't have done that."

Why is it that Sarah Palin -- or anyone on the right -- is demanded to come forward and confess their own guilt whereas not a single person on the left is? Oh, Howard Kurtz will permit Sarah Palin to say that it's not just her to blame, there might be some unnamed others who share in the blame, who might or might not be Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh; but why is it that not a single liberal has come forth and made a similar personal confession?

If this is so easy, as Kurtz alleges, why can't Kurtz himself do it?

Here you go Howard-- here's all you have to say:

"During the Bush Administration I was forwarded a lot of links by people on the right pointing out incendiary and dangerously provocative images and language used by the left to disparage Bush, thereby increasing the chances that some violence would be done to him. I ignored this, partly because of my unfounded conceit that no one on the left is violent, but mostly because it is in my own best political interests to overlook the excesses of my own side."

If this is so easy to admit, where the FUCK is Howard Kurtz's admission?

...
With her defiant video, Palin continued—no, escalated—her war with the press, which plays so well with her strongest supporters (despite a recent thaw in which she actually granted a few interviews to the lamestream media). She continued her us-versus-them approach to political discourse. She punched back at critics rather than trying to fashion a unifying message.

She "escalated" her war with the press? The press is calling her a murderess.

Is it possible to "escalate" a war with the press when they're calling you a murderer?

Oh, and by the way: You know all that toxic, martial language that Howard Kurtz wants Sarah Palin to apologize for?

"War with the press"? War?, Howard?

Isn't it funny that Kurtz can use this language without apology but, if Sarah Palin says "targeting," he needs her to apologize on national television for her part in a mass murder.

You Know When We Could Have Had A Nice Discussion About This? When James Lee took hostages and shot people at the Discovery Channel. I know early in that day, the left was eager to discuss hateful messages and the coarsening of the public dialogue, but when he turned out to be a left-wing loon who took Al Gore's statements about the literal destruction of the Earth if we don't ACT NOW to be genuine instead of nonsense hyperbole, the left suddenly didn't want to have that discussion anymore.

In fact, Media Matters For America was very sensible on this point... the moment we learned he was on the fanatical fascist environmental left:

But now, when we have a right-wing shooter, now we have to talk about this, huh?

Oh wait, did I say "right wing"? Oh that's right, I forgot for a moment, so overwhelmed was I by media insinuation -- of course Loughner is not right wing, doesn't watch right-wing TV, doesn't listen to right-wing radio, doesn't read right-wing blogs.

In fact he's an atheist Truther, more concerned about mind control by government grammar Men in Black than in any political debate, but oh yeah, let's pretend he's right wing, because you guys are down on your chips and really need some luck and you think we should play along because you're desperate.

I don't mean to be curt but, Fuck Yourself.

12 Somebody who escapes my mind made a great point about "incidenary" rhetoric:
We use harsh military terms and vile rhetoric because we're suppressing our natural tendency towards outright military conflict.
Using words is a substitute for using arms.
Mark my words: there will be more violence in this country if the rhetoric is toned down, because if vocabulary is limited, some people will turn to other measures to make their point.
Like the bootlegger making barrels of cash selling alcohol during Prohibition.

24 I forgot to mention this, its an anecdote, but i think it goes to the fact that a lot of americans aren't really following this.

I was at the Penguins game against Boston, and they had a moment of silence before the game because of the shooting. It was during this moment of silence that several people yelled "Chara you suck". For those of you who don't follow hockey, Zdeno Chara is the captain of the Bruins. There were quite a few laughs.
My point is, there are people out there, quite a few, who don't give a shit about this and aren't even really paying attention.

25 Amazing that Howard Kurtz can't even be bothered to look up the definition of blood libel, which can be applied to any number of situations (Romans v. Christians, Catholics v. Knights Templar, etc.) Or to even note that this very same phrase was used in a WSJ column just a few days ago. This is really one of WaPo's stars?

44 Everyone is making this complicated and it's very simple. The Left will. if not condone, at least tolerate violence if it fits thier agenda. They do this by blaming the victim. The victim was racist, intolerant, anti-feminist, anti-environmental, cruel to animals, etc. theywere at least somewhat responsible. This time they could not blame the victims. And there was no real information on the perpetrator that fit their agendas..not a minority, not poor, not union, etc.togenerate their empathy. So they had to presume that it was outside influences, which always means the VWRC or something along those lines. Pretty simple really, they've been doing it for years..

I noted before that Eugene Robinson made the somewhat surprising admission that 'political violence in the 60s and 70s came from the Left.' If Kurtz or anyone else can point to the time Democrats or liberals looked in the mirror and had to heed the media's call to tone it down, I'd like to see it.

"Hit back twice as hard".

"They bring a knife, we bring a gun".

"Get in their faces".

"We talk to these folks to know who's ass to kick".

71 Howard Kurtz: "Had Palin scoured a thesaurus, she could not have come up with a more inflammatory phrase."

What about "death panel"? Seems that was pretty inflammatory for the Left and the MFM (BIRM).

Kurtz, you dishonest SOB. Palin could say "puppy" or "marshmallow" and your ilk would go into high dudgeon over her outrageous murder-speak.

I'm with Ace's curt conclusion. But with heavy petting from The Barbed Cock of Satan.

72 The burden is on Sarah Palin to be more inclusive in answering baseless charges against her by those who IMMEDIATELY sought to score partisan points using her as a focal point in the aftermath of an unspeakable tragedy.
Look -she created the Golem, wrote the libelousnote out in BLOOD (she admitted to it!), shoved the note in the Golem's mouth and sent it off to Tucson to shoot Gabrielle Giffords and that poor little girl.
Why do you defend her, why are are you so blind to her machinations!?!?

Bawbawa Walters. Remember when she came out with a book a couple of years ago. I can't remember if it was a biography or what, but her main selling point was admitting to an affair with the Senator from Connecticut in the late 60's, early 70's. At the time he was the only black man serving in the Senate (and a Democrat, of course). "I swept wif a mawwied bwack man, buy my book!" was basically her sales pitch. No concern at all for the man's family or children-if an adulterer deserves such consideration, that is. What happened to shame in America? Or just common decency? Or just the common courtesy of the code of silence maintained between crooks and other scumbags? Or to put it more succinctly by an older female relative when hearing about Ms. Walters admissions, "Why that Barbara Walters is just an old whore!" Yes, well spotted in one!

77 It's hard to wrap my head around the concept that there are millions of people in this country who seem to have the same short circuit in their logic processor as Loughner. We are barely even talking about this monster, instead we are arguing over whether a woman who had absolutely nothing to do with a crime should apologize for ... what exactly? Not being responsible for the crime?

The left has so little regard for the victims of the crime that have turned this tragedy into a political circus and they seem to have absolutely zero shame.

Bizarro.

78 And another thing --
someone needs to tell these leftists that the reason so many on the right are emotional about issues is because the left is using governement to fuck up our kids, take out money control our food and make us miserable. Why is the left so upset? what do they have to be emotional about?

If they want the tone of political discourse to become more polite, then shrink governement. I don't get emotional about kellogs, or microsoft since they are not forcing me to do shit. I do get emotional about taxes and regulations and governement since it does things by force. This is how the world works -- the only way to make people care less about governement is to shrink it.

79 --In fact, Media Matters For America was very sensible on this point...
the moment we learned he was on the fanatical fascist environmental left:

Of course, Media Matters was totally wrong on this account as environmental leftism, itself, demonizes human existence and was the main motivation for the Discovery Shooter.

Also, the left celebrates terrorists. We have Bill Ayers being accepted into leftist society as a rock star, not to mention current AG Holder's great interest in securing pardons for the Puerto Rican terrorists who actually shot up the Capitol - all to just gain some hispanic electoral points for Clinton's dipshit wife.

Again, there is no parity between right and left. The left understand this full well. Making pretend they are just the mirror image of the right is part of their despicable, lying scumbag ideology.

Personally, I get a real kick out of the story that the left loves America. That has to be the biggest joke going.

"For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country."

That's the left.

Posted by: Sponge © at January 12, 2011 03:18 PM (UK9cE)

84 Ace, as much as I agree with you, all of this is a pointless argument. Since Palin is the target (oh! I said "target", I denounce myself) of the day for the MFM, let's use her as an example.

Step 1: Lacking any shred of evidence for and in spite of all evidence to the contrary, Democrat politicians, the usual suspect pundits and individuals, and the MFM, within minutes of the shooting, started the narrative that Sarah Palin and right wing "vitriol" were partially, if not totally responsible. In short, we start with the total absence of truth.

Step 2: Wash, rinse, repeat Step 1

Step 3: The "debate" is now whether Sarah Palin is or is not responsible for a completely false argument.

Step 4: Palin's choices are a) ignore all of it and allow the unfounded slander and libel to go on without her interference, or b) address it and thus argue against a fallacy, providing it validity and support in the minds of the deranged people who are pushing the Narrative. In short, lose- lose.

In a rational world where there remained any shred of dignity , logical ability, or common sense, the answer would have been for someone to simply tell anyone and everyone who spouted any of this nonsense that they were a fucking imbecile and discredit their argument with actual facts and credible information. Unfortunately, 40% or more of our population is even more ignorant and malicious than the MFM and Democrat politicians (an achievement, to be sure) and they make up an extremely vocal majority who watch the "news", write letters to sponsors, and otherwise actively engage 24/7 in supporting this completely irrational idea of total government control. They support it to the full depths of their deranged minds and spirits because they directly benefit. They have nothing else to do and have no ability nor desire to contribute anything to society. So they resort to "supporting" themselves in the only way they can- by arguing that they are entitled to the fruits of others blood, labor, ability, and sacrifices. You will never convince they otherwise because that would mean that they would be accountable for themselves, would have no time for senseless protests, and would have no alternative but to give up their "free" government funded housing, food, flat-screen TVs, computers, internet, cable, utilities, etc. and either stave to death, die from exposure, or... [shudder]... change their views. It is clear to me that death would occur before changing their views.

In other words, we are combating willful ignorance, stupidity, which has become these people's sole means of life and support; with logic. To accept logic, facts, or even a small degree of rational thought would mean accepting personal accountability and ultimately failure and death for these people.

98 And oddly enough-- even as Howard Kurtz offers to admit on Palin's

notice that not a single figure on the left is willing to do likewise.

YES.

Here are the facts:
1) The President of the United States said that his followers should "bring a gun" to political events.
2) Jared Loughner did exactly what the President said to do.

Until the left is willing to condemn the President for his violent rhetoric, they cannot complain about anything that anyone else says about anything.

Let me rephrase for Kurtz: "As someone who sort of defended Palin previously, I have received a right, proper thrashing from my peers and found being cast outside the walls with The Other to be discomforting. Naturally, when the opportunity to backtrack on a trumped up charge presented itself, I had to leap at it. I'm now at one with the guild." And so on...

139 Posted this in the wee hours. Still think it's worth repeating.

I've heard it said that some great insights occur in the early hours. I don't know that others will think of this in that way but I had an epiphany inspired by something someone here said much earlier. (Sorry, I can't remember on what thread so I don't know as I can find out who to credit.)

Anyway.
In re: the Liberal/Socialist Democrats that infest this country should be perceived and dealt with as MEMBERS OF A HIVE.

Their instinct is to mirror others of the HIVE and to react without thinking in an identical manner. This is why they think that WE take our marching orders from the likes of Rush, Beck, Savage, Levin et al. Because IT'S WHAT THEY DO.

It's why they're such huge proponents of Big Government.

It's why their nutcases are so obvious to us; because they become ISOLATED FROM OR BY THE HIVE for whatever reason. (Self-induced or a reaction by the HIVE.)

Most of OUR crazies are cold and calculating and fit in without notice with most conservatives because WE ACT AS INDIVIDUALS AND CONSIDER SELF-RELIANCE A VIRTUE.

It's why they're becoming so poisonous; THE HIVE IS IN DANGER. Their processes of indoctrination have been discovered/uncovered and their true goals and ideology has been exposed for being false, dangerous and UNdemocratic.

Most HIVES are subterranean. They are destroyed by EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT.

This has happened because of the Internet. Although it has been a benefit to the HIVE insofar as rapid, secret and far reaching communication can be to a HIVE BEING, the internet has allowed conservatives to also communicate and reach a point where we realize WE ARE NOT ALONE. We have begun to band together to fight back against the HIVE PEOPLE.

We are undergoing a PREFERENCE CASCADE. Where those who felt that they were alone and unable to affect the direction of the Nation have realized that WE HAVE MUCH IN COMMON WITH OTHERS IN THE NATION AND THAT THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THEM.

This cascade has happened in other countries. Most notably the countries behind the Soviet Union's Iron Curtain. The USSR fell so quickly mostly because of loosened communications and people found out that many others felt that the USSR was living a lie and was not what they wanted. After 80 years of tyranny and backwardness, the country fell within 4 years of the opening of communication.

We too have been living a lie. Promulgated by our socialist educational system and reinforced by the Major Media Outlets.

They have seen what has happened and they can see it happening here.

THEY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED and what does a HIVE do when it is exposed? IT SWARMS THE INTRUDER WITH BITES AND STINGS. Hoping to fend the intruder off.

The HIVE is mindless and relentless.

I fear it will only get worse until we're at the point the dam breaks and then it should get better. I have to hope that.

An Arizona Republican Party District Chairman resigned shortly after
the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and 18 others on
Saturday. to The Arizona Republic,
Anthony Miller had been subject to verbal attacks and internet postings
by apparent Tea Party members, and said he feared for his safety.

"I wasn't going to resign but decided to quit after what happened Saturday," Miller told the Republic. "I love the Republican Party but I don't want to take a bullet for anyone."

Of course. Everyone thinks that everyone else thinks like them. That's why the Left are a bunch of racists. They're thoroughly racist. They think only in terms of race. Just consider the bigotry they admit to (redneck, WalMart voter, teabagger, etc.) how can they not see skin color? But they feel guilty about it, mostly out of a sense of noblesse oblige.

When they accuse us of racism it's because they can't conceive that we don't see the world the way they do. (I think Chris Matthews admitted as much, something like "everybody's a little racist.")

They are the violent ones because if they were in the same position, they would be advocating violence, and did.

162 Let me clue Howard Kurtz in: I am one of those who agrees, generally, that actually inciting language is dangerous, and should be restrained. I do in fact believe there are enough Category 3 types that we should have worries about this, and do our best, to the extent we can, to at least make sure such people do not get the erroneous impression that acts of violence would be applauded by any political cohort.

The problem with this thinking is, even if catagory 3 people exist in droves, we can't ever know what will make any single cat3 person act. In other words, for one it may be political speech. For another it may be some song. for another it may be a rainy day.

You are conflating 2 ideas with Catagory 2 and Catagory 3 people. In reality, what you call "Cat3" people are Cat2 people who have rationalized their actions through some outside "message". In other words, I highly doubt any sane individual exists who will hear a political speech and say "that person is right, I have to kill grandma!". No, what happens is a crazy person who has not yet acted out finds some message to rationalize behavior that was going to happen anyway.

so, if you stop "inciteful" speech in teh political context, all you are doing is making the person move over to some other "message" for their rationalization. You can't stop crazy from happening.

It's like these people who believe the jihadiis will become peaceful, productive members of civilization if we simply say the right things. It is the same stupid mindset that leads to teh belief that if we ban certain words the crazies will never act up.

Like all liberal thinking, it is childish thinking. They believe they can regulate the world to become a perfect place. (I know, in this instance their motives are not actually so benign - but the thought flows from the same belief system).

167 BTW Ace, your thoughts that inciting language should be restrained are understandable. Problem is: who decides what's inciting and who does the restraining.

Voluntary restraint can work but that only can work for those willing to self censor and can govern their emotions.

Any other type of restraint even in when it attempts to do so on extremely provocative language is problematic.

Who decides what's extreme and who does the restraining.
We do have a court system that has decided that certain words are to be considered "fighting words" and are to be considered mitigating factors when physical/emotional violence is the reaction.

That's about as far as we can go.

That this guy was still on the streets was a failure on the part of his parents, his neighbors and law enforcement. (the college bears a bit of responsibility also).

verrrrrry interesting. I see it as a socio-biological flux that we may be in. Due to rising human population? Konrad Lorenz wrote extensively about how certain flocking animals showed evidence that they were formerly NOT flocking animals at all - but what he considered higher-order animals (solitary or pack/clan animals). Anyway as our population density increases, we may - or some of us may - be evolving (or devolving I guess) from our small-clan situation into something a bit more . . . flockish.

I think some of us won't choose to do that, and hopefully there will be space stations or orbital thingies or something for us to go to.

BTW Kurtz, I'm also Jewish, though one of the 22% who had her head on straight and did not vote for the Anointed One in 2008, and I do NOT find her use of the term offensive at all. I find Howard Kurtz and his fellow travelers offensive.
As for her apologizing for something she had nothing to do with, why should she? Why would anyone?

211 I daresay that the shooter isn't getting as much attention as Palin is. That might make him even more angry.

Posted by: Luca Brasi at January 12, 2011 04:02 PM (YmPwQ)

212 It's interesting to me that the left have so thoroughly integrated the idea that Palin's "violent rhetoric" was in some way connected to what Loughner did. It's fact to them now, regardless of the real truth.

Did I say interesting? I meant terrifying. Leftists are sick.

Palin has blood on her...

STUPID!

STUPID!

Palin used target....

STUPID!

214 I agree that most have no idea who Kurtz even is, but tens of millions watch CBS NBC ABC and they are all on the "Palin linked to Mass Muder" train. On their broadcasts and websites.

if you combine the nightly newscasts of the 3, its about 20 million alone.

216 .they'll die off on their own. I mean, they only have that one broad around to procreate with.....they'll all be blood relatives at one point and have mutant blue babies and just disappear at some point.
To be fair...we gestate quickly, frequently birth tripletsand she's a whore.

217 "I agree that most have no idea who Kurtz even is, but tens of millions watch CBS NBC ABC and they are all on the "Palin linked to Mass Muder" train. On their broadcasts and websites. "

This is why the Tea Party should have organized a giant press conference with dozens or hundreds of conservatives to condemn the blood libel.

221 Well done, Ace. En fuego, as they say.
Congrats for refusing to play the lamestream game and accept their premises as the terms of the debate.
Many of the people who we voted for and who are supposed to represent us would do really well to take a page from your book. Perhaps a high priced consulting career as a sideline..."How to frame the debate to your advantage", or something like that.

223 My opinion only: I think Sarah should have kept quiet. The MFM was in full self-destruct mode and she could have just sat back and watched them pull the trigger to the gun in their collective mouths.It makes me think perhaps that she may not run for president (maybe VP) this time around, so she really has nothing to lose by joining the fray. Having said that, I think I probably would have punched back on all of this also if I were in her position. The nation is in the saddest state I've ever seen it, and I'm a Vietnam vet and lived through the 60's bullshit when the left started flaming. These are scary times.

226 You left out the best, most jawdropping line:

One thing that Palin’s comments have done, judging from the early
coverage, is to take the spotlight off the victims and make this about
her.

Words fail.

Posted by: bledsoe at January 12, 2011 04:18 PM (g7SfB)

227 Jawdropping, indeed. First I heard about this Saturday was from a FB feed pinning it squarely on Palin; second, from a FB feed linking to the steaming Krugman pile.
These people will not rest until someone takes a shot at her. I just know it.

228 Well, I for one don't give a good rat's ass what Howie or anyone else thinks would "heal our national soul" or whatever the dribble line of the day is.

Posted by: WishRich at January 12, 2011 04:40 PM (hdpay)

230 The best thing about this is it has forced Ace to acknowledge that with the unhinged hate of our opponents, that rational discourse is not always possible.
Sometimes ignoring them while making preparations for self-defense is the thing to do. It seems wiser to me than trusting in the non-existent good intentions of those who have openly declared themselves our mortal enemies.

232 I'm sure it's in one of the 230+ comments about but seriously:

First you complain about "military" language, then you drop in a comma and use the word "retreat"??????

Talk about EPIC FAIL!

Posted by: Jason Coleman at January 12, 2011 05:28 PM (vGt6I)

233 First they drag Palin into the story hours after the first shots were fired. Then they have the temerity to complain about the manner in which she is defending herself.
Blood Libel is the perfect term for her to use as a child tragically died. And the MFM are somehow trying to pin this on her. She showed way more restraint than I ever would have.
As a side note, these idiots on the left are probably making things even better politicallyfor Palin in the long run. The level of vitriol launched at her I think is and will backfiring on them. I really didn't think that leftoids could look more idiotic. I was wrong.

The memorial service tonight has a logo and a gaudy program. THE CONCESSION STANDS WILL BE OPEN.

235 I no longer even try discussing politics or current events with people who only get their info from MSM.
Why bother? They have little skepticism over the narrative, especially the logical lapses the MSM makes trying to keep it together.
Critical thinking would make most of the MSM stories appear bogus and misleading but no....
Then the viewers just try and shout their "facts" at you with little cross-checking.
So sad.

236 Right at the end of Reliable Sources this past Sunday (I DVR and skim it, mostly looking for 'balanced' segments so I mostly 'watch it' at 4x speed except for 1 or 2 segments, Geharty's (sp) on from time to time btw) Kurtz had rightie and leftie talk show hosts on to discuss this issue (I didn't really know either one). The leftie did a lot of OMGs and are you serials? while the rightie pounded both Kurtz, who was faux neutral but clearly annoyed withbeing humiliated on his own show, and the leftie.
Within that segment here was one moment of comedy goal. In introducing the segment he asked the rightie something like 'what's wrong with toning it down?', after which the beatdown described above ocurred. At the end poor Howie is whipped and he steps in to counter the rightie with, and I quote: "nobody's asking you to tone it down". I actually felt bad for him because his expression after saying this was 'deer in headlights', he even hesitated momentarily knowing exactly what had happened.

242 You really get what you pay for with the Rosetta stone language courses . If you’re looking for other benefits, consider that fact that you don’t have to commute to college in order to learn a foreign language. Rosetta stone’s lack of compatibility with PDA’s is not a very serious drawback, especially if you don’t want to drive or walk to school anyway. If you intend to study a language entirely at home, then Rosetta stone is the best alternative to sitting in a class room. Another benefit of utilizing this powerful language learning tool is in preparation for a college course. You can use the software to learn the language and then fly through your college course, get a letter A grade, and apply the credits toward a degree or certificate. I think you will have interests to see rosetta stone discount
