That's some rhetoric, 3:49. You've got nothin'.<br />Obviously, "progressives" or "leftists" comprise a fairly motley group, and it is absurd to suggest that they all embrace some sort of "totalitarianism." Such language, and this so-called "big liberal lie," sound like third rate propaganda from the usual right-wing, paranoid demagogues (Prager, et al.). Let's skip the idiotic demagoguery.

Speaking for myself, I do not approve of the sort of reaction Milo Yiabnopoulos received up north; I've made that position clear in the past and there is no reason to repeat it. <br />Recall the obnoxious preacher who caused at stir at IVC last Spring? Yes, we immediately and strenuously defended his right to say what he had to say (against the view of much of the censoring crowd). <br />We've been writing about such things for twenty years and our views are not hidden.<br />Happy, 1:24? As usual, you are ignorant and you don't know what you're talking about. Please learn to pay attention to facts (yes, there really are facts) and to think critically. You need not off yourself. Just get up to speed, and learn to distinguish between reliable reporting and crap--i.e., the loutisphere, occupied by the right, with few exceptions.<br />FACTS (easily verified):<br />No, Obama did nothing like Trump's recent Muslim "ban." Comparing Obama's action of 4 or 5 years ago to Trump's action is utter nonsense, as journalists have repeatedly made clear.<br />Not that it matters much, but the crowds who appeared for Obama's inauguration were much larger than the crowd that showed for Trump's. But who really cares?<br />No, there's no evidence of massive voter fraud; there's no good reason to suppose that the official popular vote count is far off the mark, as even Trump's lawyers have acknowledged.<br />And on and on and on.<br /><br />P.S.: 7:37, you attribute a comment to me that I never made. Get your shit together, man! --RBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
