Um, it's literally the exact opposite of this. You brought up Rogan to knock on him and his listeners for gawd knows why and I have made no argument leaning on Rogan in this thread or for a month or so.


Are you dumb?

When said in context, yes I think most voters would easily catch that "nuance" given that it wasn't actually all that nuanced at all. It was pretty straightforward and easy to understand.

“Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unchain Wall Street,” Mr. Biden said. “They’re going to put you all back in chains.”

Also, this wasn't said solely to black parishioners, it was a mixed raced crowd at a research institute. So again, it's not clear and obvious that it was intended to have any racial connotations at all.

All that said, I don't think if I was a candidate that's a line I would go with, but to pretend that line is some sort of evidence that the kind of criticism Trump gets these days is just the latest example of liberals making **** up to smear the right is just ridiculous.

I'm not comparing Romney to Trump. But they definitely had plenty of out of context sound bites in the media on Romney. The chains one was one I remember the first headline I saw regarding that was something basically with just that piece leaving out the rest. Same with the whole "binders full of women". Yeah he said that wrong, but in the context it wasn't anywhere near as bad as they made it out to be as a sound bite.

And it never got the traction because it wasn't based on as much substance as the very legitimate criticisms of Trump. You didn't have many conservatives expressing concern over Romney's character the way that you absolutely do in regard to Trump.

So while the media is/was the media, the reaction to it is based at least in part on the reality, and the reality is that Trump is uniquely despicable and unqualified.

This.
I never heard about any of that ****. The binders of women or the chains thing. This thread is the first I heard of it or I heard it and it just didn't matter or register cause mitt Romney is a normal ok human being.
It didn't get as much traction as the trump things cause Romney is so far different from Trump.


Trump gets so much **** cause he earns it.

On that I totally agree, it made for a funny soundbite so it got a lot of traction (although apparently not as much as I thought given other responses in this thread).

It's true that our media leaves a lot to be desired, and that should be (and often is) a bipartisan complaint. Where the argument loses me is when people complain about our mainstream media as though they are instruments of the Democratic party, or that the right is being victimized by them in a way that the left isn't.

You're obsessed enough with the fact I've said I enjoy his show and that's all you remember so you bring it up in a thread where it has zero to do with the discussion and imply I'm leaning on him in an argument that's non existent.

I still don't get the point you're trying to make because you're not making one.


I like Rogan's podcast. So ****ing what. Let it go, Mr Fragile.
