Is there a Taco Bowl reference that I'm unaware of from Debbie Wasserman Schultz? The only one I saw in the leaks was a very clear reference to Trump's taco bowl picture and it was by some low level creative outreach person to their vetting committee.

Dr. Faustus posted:If someone tells you that Chris Hedges on Russia Today is a great liberal voice is that true? I see he's a big voice against fascism but I don't understand how he lands at RT. That is dissonant to me. It's because RT is literally a Russian propaganda machine and the Russians seem to be gung ho about undermining Hillary to give Trump a running shot. I cringe every time I see someone share RT as legitimate news as opposed to the purposefully editorializing that it is.

I really have to emphasise this. When we say Fox News or Rush Limbaugh are propaganda, it's slightly hyperbolic. RT is literally the Russian government's media organization.

 I never understood this quote (the original) or why people put so much value on it. A politician telling people to not make demands on the state. When the states sole purpose is to support the population. The idea of a state that exists first and foremost to be served by the people is a terrifying idea.

Instant Sunrise posted:That email fwd in real life: "I left a loaded firearm sitting on a wheelchair to prove some vague political point. Unfortunately, while I was out of the house a truck drove over a speedbump nearby and the vibration from that caused the gun to fall out of the wheelchair and accidentally discharge. Now I'm facing charges of 'reckless endangerment' and they're saying its lucky nobody got hit when that gun went off." Alternatively, "I left my gun alone and didn't have it for 6 hours. During this time no government took my freedoms, and no black or hispanic people killed me because it is what they do. I was utterly shocked, given how right wing media told me those would happen as soon as I was unarmed. Maybe I should return the gun and get a rock that keeps away tigers. Isn't the whole point of this scene that the guy wasn't smart enough to think why the man was walking around with a vial of Iocane in the first place? Or in this case, to ask why the right promoted a lunatic, or why he was told the one on the left is corrupt?

I don't know why, but as I get older this unique form of widespread American apostasy really bothers me. That "blessing" at the RNC in July gave me actual chills.

VideoTapir posted:Sort of. He's been writing about the failure of American democracy for the last decade, way before going to RT. I think the author of "Death of the Liberal Class" might take some issue with being called a "great liberal voice," though. Vaishino posted:It's because RT is literally a Russian propaganda machine and the Russians seem to be gung ho about undermining Hillary to give Trump a running shot. It's this, friend. RT is not good for US political news, or indeed anything else, because it is the literal propaganda wing of the oligarchic Russian government. You should not be relying upon it as a source for anything, let alone "the failure of American democracy"

They're not categorically incapable of being right, it's just that on those rare occasions where they might be correct, factually, their agenda and reputation means that whatever they're right about is serving the interests of mostly terrible people.

Kind of like Voice of America, or Al Jazeera. You'd think if they were really a Russian propaganda machine in the sense you're trying to portray, they'd be all for Trump.

I don't think there's anything uniquely American about this. There are plenty of Psalms begging for God to strike down the author's enemies, as well as John the Revelator's praying for the destruction of the Roman Empire. If anything, modern Christianity is much less violent towards its enemies than ancient Judaism. Of course, ask the same poster what he thinks about Islam's claim to be a "religion of peace" and I bet you get a different answer...

Dr. Arbitrary posted:Is there a Taco Bowl reference that I'm unaware of from Debbie Wasserman Schultz? It's a lie they came up with by twisting the words and then misattributing them. Someone from the DNC used the phrase "taco bowl outreach" in an e-mail. The GOP latched on to this saying that she was obviously using "taco bowl" as a derogatory pronoun to refer to latinos which would make the meaning of that phrase "latino outreach." "Latino outreach," is indeed a phrase, and so they patted themselves on the back for cracking the code and exposing Democratic racism. Everyone else read the e-mail and rightly understood they were referring to Donald Trump's slacktivist outreach on Cinco de Mayo with a picture of him eating a "taco bowl." Also, who the gently caress refers to those as "taco bowls?" Is this a dumb east coast thing like, "waiting on line?" Where I'm from they're called "taco salads," and the fact that Trump referred to them as "taco bowls," made him seem profoundly out of touch like he'd never encountered one before in his life. Edited after Dr. Arbitrary pointed out it wasn't even Wasserman Schultz who wrote it. ErIog fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Sep 6, 2016 |

Like when he's rolling with his buddy Joshua through Canaan committing horrific genocide. God specifically telling Joshua how to lure out the army of the city to run off to a pretend fight, then enter the now defenseless city to slaughter every woman and child left behind, then slaughter the army when they got back from the ruse.

One thing about it is that since both emails (It's a follow up to one she sent earlier) were sent the same day, by the same person, to the same people, I would expect both emails to be in the archive. But the earlier one that presumably has an attachment wasn't included. I can't prove it obviously, but I think that this dump was reviewed prior to dissemination to be maximally damaging to the DNC.
