    Liberal Media is going BONKERS now. The question is: are you glad? or are you mad?

    I'm not sure what to think. They've gone off the rails. Their attacks on Fox News used to at least have a veneer of 'professional disdain', but now they all sound like Junior High School kids screaming names at the kid they don't like. It's pathetic. I am glad that they are pissed off. But I'm a bit SHOCKED that they have so little self respect as to not 'appear' like petulant children for all the world to see. (remember, liberals usually HIDE their true colors).

    The new Salon article headline is:

    "Evil Fox News idiocy, unchecked: As Stephen Colbert departs, demented loons set to run free"

    Yes, you read that correctly...."

    What's most funny is how many people thought Colbert was for real. That he really was just another conservative talking head and was serious about all his mocking of other right-wing T.V./radio shock jocks.

    I think Poe's law might apply here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

    "That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    I like how they pretend that making fun of conservatives is brave, edgy, and original.

    This sort of shit is only going to get worse as the zero regime dies out. They don't try to hide who they are anymore because their guy is in charge.


    As I have said in the past, the time for talking about these sorts of things is over.

    They have to pretend.

    Otherwise people will realize that there is a de facto ban on dissent against the socialist-progressive agenda.

    Deeply rooted in the inability to admit error. The apparent failure of their dystopia, that is crashing down around them, just instills them to make greater efforts in the direction of wrong. That being said, when colbert did his w speech, that was glorious.

    I think Poe's law might apply here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

    Poe's law, named after its author Nathan Poe,[1] is an Internet adage reflecting the idea that, without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism.[2]
    The reason it's impossible to tell the difference between true insanity and a parody of insanity is that this Country has gone insane and the craziest, most extreme idea you can think of is probably true - and tomorrow you'll hear of something even more crazy, extreme or unbelievable.

    Yesterday's conspiracy theory becomes today's whistle blower's revelation becomes tomorrow's "no big deal" (repeat daily).

    When a liberal realizes he is losing an argument, he, usually, resorts to name-calling and profanities.

    Name-calling and profanity are desperate attempts to direct the audience's attention away from the logical conclusion of an argument.

    You forgot yelling and then, when the response is yelled back, acting hurt because the liberal was yelled at.
