To be fair, Obama, like any politician, will spin things in his favor to make his case.

Even viewed through that lens, you have to have some basis in fact to make claims, however weak.

Romney has gone for the sweeping generalizations here that play well to his base. That these sweeping generalizations are wildly, provably inaccurate, doesn't seem to be cause for concern for Republicans.

Why have no Republicans come forward to call him on this bullshit?


I know a lot of you like to pretend there isn't much difference between the two parties. For the most part, I would agree that they both play to the center, and because of their size can't get too far apart.

BUT

What I see is that the right wing in this country simply cannot make the case for its ideology without lying at some point, and that is very damning when it comes to finding pragmatic, evidence-based solutions to problems.

Romney is just as much a giant douche Politician as Obama, newsbreaking. Politicians are politicians, lol self-declared intellectual still chained by the partisan paradigm.

Loser regressives can't make a case for ideology so they play on heart strings and white guilt. How noble. Obama is a flat out liar, for you to bash Romney and then gently caress Obama as doing nothing more than spinning the occasional fib is a joke. Genius can't even man up on his own fking healthcare plan.

Feel free to. Give me a link, and I will add it to the OP. The thread title's word choice was intentionally unspecific.

Obama made a lot of promises that he either didn't know he would have to go back on, or never intended to carry through in 2008. You should start there.

It is a piece of propaganda, although I'm not sure what context would change some of the basic statements Romney made into things that weren't sweeping generalizations.

Not all right wingers are either of those things, and that is not what I think. If you think it is tacit, then I should clarify. My bad.

What I do think, is that when people start making the case for right-wing ideology, it almost invariably has to start leaving out important infomration needed to make good decisions. This selectivization of the facts piles up to the point where it starts becoming lies of omission.

There is a gulf between making a case for something, and doing so in an intellectually honest manner.

I don't think all people who hold right-wing ideologies tend to be devoid of pragmatism.

Che is right. Nothing but cry-babying excuses for the fraud that is Obama. There is no difference from the Dems and Republicans. The corruption is there on both sides. You support a corrupt system, a corrupt way of doing things. The SYSTEM itself, set up the way it is for Dems and Republicans is a fraud. Obama is no different, if not worse.

I can't speak for any of the resident cons, or any others for that matter, but I'm profoundly dissappointed in the GOP's selections. I honestly don't spend 10 seconds thinking about any of them much less creating threads with youtubes about them. I've pretty much dismissed them as irrelevant until the primaries are over. Some of the BS falls off at that point and the focus becomes somewhat (relatively) more coherent. They will command some attention at that point. Right now, every primary candidate appears to me as a fucking chameleon.

And no, I have no intention of wasting an hour of my life searching out and posting clips of rachel maddow being snarky and venal.

If you want to declare victory then go ahead.You can't even think of one instance, so yeah -- you lose.

It's wierd, because left and right are not equivalent.

The things that make right-wingers into right-wingers encourage homogenousness and uniform thinking. That is what makes the right-wing message so clear.

Exactly how have I moved the goal posts here?

I could've sworn we were talking about Romney...then we moved to all right wingers....then we moved to Limbaugh. I really have no idea where we're going next.


As far as homogenous thought is concerned, really? Let me get this straight...the base motivators of the right (The "things", as you inelegantly stated), encourage homegenousness and uniform thinking (redundancy alert!), and furthermore, this is a phenomenon of the right?

You've got to be shitting me.

That's complete bullshit.

Definite a nasty attack. Thats going to vary quite a bit.

Being factually incorrect is much easier to establish, however.

Calling somebody a slut, for example.

Simple name-calling, with obvious, loaded emotional content. Personal slander.

I would say the recent brew-ha-ha has a fair amount of material:

It most certainly is not.

Find a list of nasty personal attacks on anyone from Rachel.

It seems fairly quantifiable to me. If you don't want to be honest about this, then I guess we can stop here.

Ok...finally we get something specific. About fucking time, RG.
Nasty personal attacks.

Does by proxy count? *geore soros move on/daily kos * *cough-cough*.

And Maddow is waaay smarter than Limbaugh tbh.

I would offer up Moore instead.

The point is that what constitutes your attack is very open to interpretation. For instance, personally, I could give two shits about being called a name. On the other hand, I find thinly veiled insults to my intelligence FAR more offensive and there are definitely people out there who know how to do this. Rachal Maddow definitely seems smart enough to be one of those people.

I will go out and agree with any fair criticism of Obama, or any Democrat.
