Tender Bender posted:What is the logical endpoint of her statement, people who don't speak English don't deserve healthcare? Yes. The endpoint of all statements by all conservatives is people who aren't white heterosexual Christians don't deserve anything unless they bootstrap past all of the social disadvantages they have and talk poo poo about their own minority group.

I end up using the chart every so often at work and it's much easier to get an answer of how hurt someone feels than asking "How bad do you feel?" and looking for an explanation. I think I remember reading that part of the reason is that the pictures help a person in pain actually figure out how much pain they're in quicker. It's a really useful tool. As are the interpreter phones. High school spanish, and even some of the spanish for the healthcare professional courses, can only get you so far when someone forgot to fill out some paperwork and can't understand it.

When the alternative is todays Republican party? Yes I do. As in if I'm choosing between todays Democratic party only it now includes Harry Reid who openly admits he would rather deny funding for cancer trials than let Republicans (who defunded it in the first place) pick and choose which parts of the government they DON'T want to fund OR todays Republican party? I take the Democratic party every time, although I would be saying what the gently caress Harry yikes. That's a soundbyte stacked up against a real, verifiable, often unapologetic desire to strip funding from all of these face-saving programs while simultaneously fighting for multi-millionaire tax breaks and dumping so much money on the military that they are telling you "No, we don't need this much jesus what are you doing!??!". Nope. No thank you. Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Oct 4, 2013 |

So just saw this in the awkward and ugly thread. It's Alex Jones wearing a lizard mask trying to talk in a snooty British dialect and high as gently caress on drugs or something to think this was any sort of good idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QggMgz7_mOo Also what is it with right wing pundits trying to talk like a Dickens villain? I've heard Limbaugh and Hannity do it too. They all sound retarded and those characters would certainly be Republicans if they existed in the real world so I don't know what the gently caress.

That Alex Jones video is unsettling as usual. 90% of the time I assume he's a huckster, then along comes something like that and I start feeling unsure about laughing at someone who might be truly imbalanced. Fraud or lunatic? I guess this will be another case of, "WHY CAN'T IT BE BOTH?" Also, "Here's my good friend, Omabacare!"  We haven't had a Moment of http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2013/10/02/mark_levin_if_you_lay_one_hand_on_wwii_vets_ill_bring_half_a_million_people_there.html Or he could just be feigning outrage.

I just heard an awesome sting on Sirius Patriot. "When a black Democrat calls someone 'Uncle Tom', they're not called a racist. When a defense witness in a trial says 'Crazyass cracker' they're not a racist. But when the truth from conservatives, it's a different story in the mainstream media!" This wasn't even a program host saying this. It was the generic SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! announcer guy. Setting aside the fact that the person behind this has no clue what testimony under oath is, I find it extremely interesting that the promo never bothers to point out what the "truth" they're not allowed to say is.

He's great at constructing just the right kind of boogeymen for the crazies in the US to point to for all the nation's problems. I honestly think the guy is a really good actor who figures he's already made mad bank off the nutcases, so now he's just seeing how loopy he can be without people catching on.

I think it's a mistake to assume that all accomplished people think about stuff constantly and are forced to choose conclusions from the flow chart we're creating. Alex might pass his entire work day without having a single distinct thought condensate on his brain. He could run his whole work day like you run a .exe. He may then finish up, get in the car, flip on NPR to find out what the gently caress is happening in the world his actual body occupies, go home and behave utterly normally. The madness of his life need not ever occur to him. Whatever you do is your work, if you don't get fired you keep doing it, if the checks get bigger you do it harder. Or he may be totally off the rails but also possessing a savant's interest in fat checks and being a millionaire. I don't know, I'm not the government. I don't have nanobot cameras inside the man's eyeballs. Good guy for a biopic, no doubt.

I know this thread is about extreme right-wingers, but can someone explain the NRO's Robert Costa to me? The dude is an editor for that site, but I've seen his reporting, and him doing dozens of interviews on MSNBC, and you'd have no idea this dude was even a conservative, let alone one who helps run one of the biggest conservative outlets out there. Same with Ramesh Panooru.

I'm still of the vein that he's a Rush Limbaugh-style 'True Believer' who doesn't actually believe what he's pushing. He makes quite a bit of money off hawking DVDs about world takeover and 'non-hybrid seeds' for survivalists. Interesting fact: he actually has screentime in 'A Scanner Darkly', basically playing as himself. It's kind of bizarre just how close to his radio programming his in-movie lines got.
