I feel a rant coming on.
The Republican party is just a barrel of flying monkeys.
I feel like we are like Dorothy and her friends standing in front of the Wizard of Flaws. We have been hearing for two years now, "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain". It's fake news! It's a witch hunt! Every time someone tries to pull the curtain back another Republican swoops in to snatch Toto up and keep the curtain closed.
Mueller takes two years to investigate the Russian interference in our election. Barr releases a 3 page summary of a 300 report and says "pay no attention". Now he promises to release a redacted version to the Congress by mid April. By then, the steady beat of propaganda will have desensitized us to the outrage we should feel at the level of partisan editing taking place. That will be followed by another round of demands from the House that the complete report be released to select committees in congress. Which will be rebuffed by another flying monkey.
The House has called for the release of the report by Tuesday. The Senate has had a similar call defeated by Mitch, then Lindsey, then Rand. Flying monkeys all. If the report is the total vindication it is being touted as, then why the obstructionism? Because the Wizard is not who he says he is, and because the flying monkeys have sold their integrity for some rotten bananas.
Let's pull back the curtain and see what there is to see.
Oh, and don't vote for any more flying monkeys.

Bold words, coming from a person who writes posts to deny what people say, and then looks it up, finds out they were right, and deletes the post before anyone replies.

Huh? Are you wishing you had deleted your post that claims you can show examples of liberal politicians being purposely misrepresented the way that conservative ones are? I can give you scores of examples of the media misrepresenting stories, and presenting incomplete or untruthful information that seems designed to harm the right. Where are your examples of the left?
I like the way Stossel deals with these issues. I could poke a few holes in his presentation of "facts" but he certainly deals with facts in a way I enjoy and respect.
I’m sorry but that video is pure ********. I watched it live and he was absolutely mocking that reporter for his disability. Was a scumbag move. Stop defending stupid, ignorant ****.
No, I'm talking about the latest thread where we discussed global warming. I saw a response you made to post I made on the connection between global warming and the polar vortex, spent a few minutes gathering websites to explain it further, hit the reply button, and it turned out you had deleted that post.
So now I know that even if you see evidence you were wrong, you won't bother to acknowledge nor adjust your position. Information has no impact on your views. Hence, I am adjusting how I respond to you accordingly. I am aware that should I provide 50 articles of liberals being misrepresented in the media, you will find a way to dismiss, ignore, or spin that information. That means neither of us benefits. So, why would I bother?

Oh brother. You're right that I responded to a post you made about the polar vortex. I decided that I'd rather just drop it so I deleted the post. I'm sorry that I apparently wasted so much of your hard work.
Our current conversation is 100% the result of you engaging me. You extrapolated things from my words which were completely contrary to what I was saying. So, since you are unwilling to provide any evidence of the press misrepresenting liberals I will post one for you:
Do you notice any differences in the ways the media tends to misrepresent the left versus the way it tends to misrepresent the right?

I disagree. I think the video effectively shows what a putz Trump is. In the process, though, it seems pretty clear that he regularly uses that technique to mock people he disagrees with. Trump claims that he didn't know this reporter was disabled, and why would he? There is no reason to think they would have ever met. The situation occurred when, after Trump used the reporter's 12 year old article as evidence that some American Muslims celebrated 9/11, the reporter claimed that Trump had misconstrued his words. Trump's impression was of the reporter backtracking on his words.
It is really an odd experience talking about Trump on this board because I am not a Trump fan. Since way back during the campaign, though, I have been saying that his critics are hurting their own case by their overreactions to everything he says or does.
Then stop defending him on stupid **** he’s wrong for.
The entire video you bought into uses two points to “prove” he wasn’t mocking a reporter over their disability.
1. The reporter didn’t shake that they know of
2. Trumps an *******
Absolutely killer rebuttal.
If you’re not a trump fan then stop arguing for him on every little thing.
Pick your battles. Trump clearly mocking a reporter over his disability and then posting some trash video trying to clear his name isnt the battle to pick.
Here’s why, let’s say you’re right, you are NOT for the record. But let’s pretend. He didn’t mock a report based on disability. Is he suddenly a good, moral man? No, he isn’t. Because he has made statements over and over and over and over again that show he’s a scumbag.
Pick your battles. Stop defending the man and defend the policies. But damn dude, come on...

Point taken. The reason I chose this issue is because I heard this very interesting interview yesterday on SIRRUS.
If you're willing to watch it, I think you'll see why it brought my conversation with OneBrow to mind.
