Thank you for those two followup articles. The original is now even more scary.

Bast Relief posted:Start a thread about it or something. This is reminding me of watching my parents argue at Thanksgiving dinner in front of everyone. At this point there's no connection to RWM. Well you know, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, well how do you, how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question. First of all, from what I understand from moderators, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate off topic post, the forum has ways to try and shut that whole thing down. But let's assume that maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the lovely posters and not attacking the thread. ... I still can't believe that nearly 40% of the dipshits in Todd Akin's district voted for him after that. Also, Christ... quote:In July 2014, Akin's book, Firing Back: Taking on the Party Bosses and Media Elite to Protect Our Faith and Freedom, was published. In it, he said that he regretted apologizing, because, "by asking the public at large for forgiveness, I was validating the willful misinterpretation of what I had said." He also defended his original comments and attacked various Republicans for "wronging" him, including Karl Rove, former National Republican Senatorial Committee Executive Director Rob Jesmer, Senators Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, John McCain, Roy Blunt and Lindsey Graham and House Speaker John Boehner. He also repeatedly attacked the Republican establishment for seeing his comments "as their opportunity to take [me] out and select someone more palatable to their tastes", and the "liberal media" for making him "the target of a media assassination."

the jizz taxi posted:People keep saying this about extremist blowhards but to me that comes off as an attempt to shield themselves from the terrible possibility that these idiots may actually believe the things they say. There's no way that S. E. Cupp isn't acting. Early in her career, she was the right wing media's token atheist punching bag. The arguments she put up are basically taken from the top of the "how not to discuss atheism" list taken to the point of absurd parody to make sure that they're exactly what right wing Christians would want to hear. I mean, statements that are so perfectly wrong that they can't be anything other than intentional. I'd actually assumed she'd dropped out of existence after her little performances, and I was gobsmacked to see her on loving CNN after the recent debates. That's what I get for ignoring cable news...

Radish posted:So you have candidates A, B, and C and A winning. The idea that if candidate B drops out, all of his voters go to C and C then wins is such a GOP pipe dream. The reality is that they would probably end up splitting in some ratio that still allows A to win with some just not voting at all. If Cruz the slimy, amoral theocrat drops 100% of his supporters aren't going to flock to Rubio the establishment empty suit boy-man and vice versa. It's sad how these guys are desperately trying to pretend they have any agency in Trump winning or losing. In last night's coverage on MSNBC, they showed the favorable/unfavorable numbers. If Cruz doesn't win the nomination, like 2/3-3/4 of his supporters would be OK with Rubio, but only like half of Rubio's supporters would be OK with Cruz. Only something like 1/5 of both Cruz and Rubio supporters would be OK with Trump as the nominee. If Cruz drops, Rubio could plausibly challenge Trump at the convention, but not the other way around. If Rubio drops, the chance of challenging Trump at the convention drops hugely, but Cruz won't drop... and I don't think Rubio will willingly drop either. All Hail Chaos Candidate!

Na, the problem is that Trump never takes hard positions on anything and he constantly changes his mind. If a spokesman says something firm, he'll contradict it within days if not hours. For the most recent example, look at the Bernie debate brouhaha. On one hand, I'm kind of glad that he's indirectly dismissing the whole "flip-flop" bullshit, but on the other, he's a complete policy disaster as a result. The media and/or Hillary need to begin pointing this stupidity out.

FuzzySkinner posted:I don't know what is with Internet atheists and their Christianity gets a lot of poo poo from Internet Atheists simply because Christianity is the most likely religion to be encountered by the group. There are a lot of legit Islamophobes in the Internet Athiest group as well, mainly because Christianity mostly just tells us we're going to hell, whereas Islam is loving scary because their fundies still take all the kill all those who oppose bits literally. There are Muslim theocracies that we can not enter because atheists are criminals there, with a sentence of death. The smugness is because ... well, have you ever encountered a Young Earth Creationist?  quote:I mean if someone believes that their is a God, follows the bible, and is not actively finding a way to make your life miserable, then why should you care? Because there are too many that are indeed actively trying to make our collective lives "miserable" or maybe you haven't seen the right wing Christian types impose their """"morality""" on the entire country by political force.

RareAcumen posted:I think he's just talking about a person-by-person basis there and not like, on the internet. Oh. No, people that do that poo poo IRL are jerks. Keeshhound posted:Are you seriously suggesting that the problem with Christians being smug, aggressive douchebags about your chosen life philosophy is that they don't believe the right things? Newsflash: being an rear end in a top hat isn't a bad thing because some religious people are assholes; it's the "being an rear end in a top hat" part that's objectionable. No, you're right, assholes will always be assholes, and humanity would still have plenty of excuse to be horrible to each other without religion because that's how horrible humanity is to each other by default. Protecting the in-group and fearing the strangers in the out-group is standard operating procedure for our brains. But when a religious person tells me that I should be killed, then yes, I am kind of going to blame their "chosen life philosophy" for not believing in "the right things."

Even him as a """tech editor""" is a pathetic joke. Somewhere, I want to say KiA, asked him some pointed questions about important tech issues and he couldn't answer them. It was clear he doesn't care about tech at all. In fact, despite him being a gator favorite, before the job at Breitbart he routinely insulted gamers. He's just an attention whore. Hopefully the Twitter ban is the beginning of the end.

Transgender women using the bathroom are gay men in there to molest your kids. Fear applies here, but it's driven by ignorance. Good luck fixing the ignorance part.
