She forgot that the Ann Coulter Method of Edgy involves a scattershot approach. Attack literally everyone in your path, hit every insane theory, do literally anything to get in front of cameras to be terrible. Debbie just keeps ranting about the evil Muslims so people just go 'goddamn she's racist as gently caress'. Basically if you're going to be a bigoted piece of poo poo for money you have to create the shield of 'uh excuse me I'm an equal opportunity offender'  . Debster just reeeeeeally hates Muslims.Also yea, Ingram is Coulter 2.

Alright, in talking elsewhere on the web about journalism, someone brought up Ben Swann who has apparently won some awards for his journalism, but to me seems like a typical Paulite (one of the bits I watched was all about the Fiat dollar and how Ben Bernanke is out of control, etc). Has anyone else heard of this guy? He claims to be a "fact checker", but I just get the feeling it's a load, or not telling the whole story, or something. Maybe I'm just trained to distrust or something.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghH9Cl-Pj60 Here's Rush Limbaugh pouring out some bile against Chris Christie for daring make the President look good. Notable things: -Rush's voice sounds really odd to me, not like his normal. Plus he seems to kind of lose the thread a little towards the end, more than even usual for people stumbling on their words a bit on broadcast radio. Studio at home, wonder if dude is hopped up on the goofballs again. -He says Bloomberg endorsed Romney, when he in fact endorsed Obama. Fox News always carried this incorrect news, I wonder if Rush got this from Fox or vice versa? -Funny that the "Daily Rushbo" youtube channel only shows the thinner Rush pictures. I'm pretty sure he's back on the "fat" part of his fat/thin cycles.

Yeah, she never quite made escape velocity to break out but it was nice to see even someone as awful as her can call out Hannity. As for Rush videos, this one will always be my favorite. Before he become super famous he was asked to guest host the ill-fated Pat Sajak Show on CBS. This is what happens when Rush has a non-screened audience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNK4byQkn7w They ended up having to clear out the studio audience so he could finish without getting shouted down.

When you're at the top of right-wing professional troll pile the only way up is to out-troll yourself. By calling the President of the United States a retard on your twitter feed, for example.

How many people who agree with her can tell the difference, or even know there is a difference? quote:Mad Max isn't fallout, watch this intro to The Road Warrior and tell me it doesn't work just as well today: It's still supposed to be post-nuclear. The first one was either during the decline, or right after the end. It's easy to miss, but there are some suggestions that things aren't normal (mostly to do with the car). The second strongly implied nuclear war, the third made it explicit. The backstory leading up to the war in Fallout is more or less the same as Mad Max, too. Mad Max basically is Fallout. It inspired Wasteland which was the predecessor to Fallout.

I've never paid much attention to Malkin, but I recall reading more than a few articles claiming she's just the "one of the good ones" mask for her husbands awful political views or at least its how she started. Is there anything a little more concrete on that? Not that I don't think she's a horrible person who's came to believe this poo poo, if for no other reason than it's quite lucrative.

As you can see in the intro, whether you want to infer nuclear war or not, the text of The Road Warrior set forth the themes of societal breakdown due to the scarcity of oil in a society that had become reliant upon it, and that's something that is still relevant today in our peak oil age.

I remember him being extremely emphatic about the federal government's lovely response to Katrina. I'm sure Geraldo's primary motive is fame and fortune, but there are times he seems to genuinely care for some people.

True, though I still think his Katrina reports (at least initially) smacked of grandstanding. Especially in comparison to Shep Smith's Katrina reports, who literally looked shaken and upset (and also looked like he wanted to reach through the screen and strangle Sean Hannity to death on more than one occasion, after some of the stupid poo poo Hannity said). As I recall, this is also the same Geraldo who got kicked out of Iraq and Afghanistan for giving away troop movements on camera, too.  But again, kudos to him for standing up and telling Fox News and their audience that all the poo poo they spew about Benghazi are "obscene lie[s]". That had to take some serious loving stones to do, and he's definitely gone up quite a few points in my estimation.

I watch that movie every couple of months. It's implied in the Humungus's burns. It's explicit in the third movie. And the same sort of societal breakdown happens in Fallout.

According to Wikipedia, he's not a huge fan of Michelle Malkin either. "In 2007, Geraldo was involved in a dispute with fellow Fox colleague Michelle Malkin, Malkin announced that she would not return to The O'Reilly Factor, claiming that Fox News had mishandled a dispute over derogatory statements made about her by Geraldo in a Boston Globe interview. Rivera, while objecting to her views on immigration, says, "Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I've ever met in my life. She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people." He added, "It's good she's in D.C., and I'm in New York. I'd spit on her if I saw her", Rivera later apologized for his comments."

I was listening to Andy Dean on the way home from work, who appears to be some up-and-coming Hannity type, and he had to constantly tell his callers not to say that Obama is like Hitler or Stalin, because apparently they "lose sponsors" from that kind of talk. The smaller shows don't seem to have as tight call screening, so even more of the conspiracy theorists get on the air. It should be noted that the biggest conservative shock jock in the Houston and East Texas market, Michael Berry, traffics in direct comparisons between Obama and the Third Reich without any substantial backlash.

It was loving glorious. She's not a parody like Coulter, she seems to legitimately run on pure hatred.

I'm watching Dick Morris on Fox News at the moment going on about how all the polls that show an Obama advantage are wrong 'because of math'. Looking at him... you have to wonder. How old is he? Actual whores, ideally, get to retire pretty young. But he's doing this duplicitous, two faced bullshit in his 60s. How would you not just get worn out? I think the same thing occasionally about the likes of Limbaugh. The ones who clearly have never actually uttered a sincere word in their lives. At some point surely they must have enough money to retire comfortably. Is there some sort of foul vitality that comes with partisan, reactionary hackery? Do they keep going because they'd have nothing else going on otherwise?
