Yea Sony made the right financial call but I wouldn't be surprised if more of these kinds of things happen in the near future. It's impossible to say, I guess.

Unzip and Attack posted:This is exactly the reason this has happened. Sony and the theatre giants didn't "cave to terrorism" they made a very calculated and wise financial decision. People still don't quite grasp the scale and damage that the leaks from the hacked materials are doing to Sony as a company. Delaying a Seth Rogan comedy might hurt temporarily, but if it slows the pace of the leaks down, it's financially worth it to delay the movie because the leaks so far have been hell of damaging. One movie won't make or break Sony; a bunch of emails of them trash-talking their stars, evidence of pay disparities, under-the-table legal plans being out in the open, etc might.

If that means defending torture, so be it. Wasn't she the one who made fun of Karl Rove live on election night when he was still trying to convince himself and others that Romney still had a shot?

Obviously any attack sucks at an abstract level but I wouldn't shed much of a tear for people who deserve it.

You gotta feel bad for Erick Erickson, he saw Limbaugh/Hannity/et al trolling for major bucks and thought "How hard can this be?" He's been trying so hard for so many years, but still pretty much nobody knows who he is.

FlamingLiberal posted:A lot of people also forget that Fox News exists to continue the long running scam of conservatives getting dumb voters to buy their awful books or sponsored garbage. Half of the hosts on Fox probably make more money shilling their own books. The big thing that keeps more people from seeing through the sham is that the Fox News we all know and dread is only the one cable channel. Every big city has a local Fox News station that is, generally, a reliable television news source, and that's what most people think of when they hear the words, "fox news." If you or I tell Uncle Rabid at Thanksgiving that the Fox News he's fellating is a shitstain on America and on democracy in general, all of your little redneck cousins, nieces and nephews think of the TV news that they grew up watching, not the Nazi propaganda, and they may think he's a bit eccentric but you're even worse, you're an egghead. El Gallinero Gros posted:Wasn't she the one who made fun of Karl Rove live on election night when he was still trying to convince himself and others that Romney still had a shot? "Is this the math you do as a republican?" I had hopes for her to not be such a quisling then.

quote:RUSH: Here is Greg in Louisville, Kentucky. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello. The funniest thing of this segment is that in the exchange between the first caller the word 'conservative' is not mentioned a single time. Imagine that! Painting someone that disagrees with your positions as a 'No True Conservative'! quote:RUSH: Yesterday we made mention of the fact that Barack Obama was running around talking about the fact that one time, that time long ago, he was insulted that somebody thought he was a valet. Not when he was president. Over seven years ago, somebody thought he was a valet, and that meant the United States was racist. http://www.people.com/article/barack-obama-michelle-obama-ferguson-racism-racial-profiling-interview Read the comments. No racism there! I also read that quote about 10 times and don't get Michelle Obama claiming the woman was a racist conservative like these guys are painting it as Michelle Obama posted:I tell this story – I mean, even as the first lady – during that wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf. Because she didn't see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her. Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isn't anything new.
