im pretty sure georgia is evacuating the coast just because the state/local governments are still catching a lot of mockery for loving up the 2014 snowstorm. ever since then the governor's office has been in panic mode with regards to hazardous weather

WampaLord posted:Are you saying the posting of one thread on a dying comedy forum is that important to our national discourse? No, I was saying that asking the far-right to show restraint on a potentially-political topic is a fool's errand that will only harm your own ability to get your message out. Staying silent about the hurricane will do nobody any good. I wasn't specifically talking about this thread or SA, just the general concept of dialogue.

I feel that this qualifies me to say that Drudge should put his money where his mouth is and he should start taking up surfing lessons off the Florida coast today. Antti posted:I suggest Drudge does some on-location reporting and goes to Florida in person to make sure the hurricane's not that bad. This works too, especially if he starts that reporting from the beachfront.

lozzle posted:Not likely. The first amendment is a powerful thing, for better or worse. I mean, you can face criminal liability for telling someone to do something that foreseeably results in them being harmed. The problem here would probably be linking Drudge's posts with somebody's decision not to evacuate

It's very carefully couched in "well maybe the government is LYING about the hurricane! It's a CONSPIRACY!" which would likely be protected even if it is ridiculous and dangerous.

What is particularly galling is that he is calling it out while it is still loving happening. This is like someone saying the Twin Towers didn't fall down on 12 September 2011. As far liability, I put Drudge up there with idiots who say vaccines cause autism in spreading harmful and damaging misinformation.

WeAreTheRomans posted:so we're at the literal loving point where we're unskewing the weather It's more that Drudge/Limbaugh/Alex Jones are approaching cult figure status in that people literally believe only them and that the rest of the media is maliciously lying 24/7. awesmoe posted:i think the real question is why he only has 4 tweets He constantly deletes his old tweets, probably to avoid having a disprovable paper trail.

I mean even the true nutters that think chemtrails and crisis actors are things would say that the government caused the hurricane using HAARP or something. They wouldn't deny that it existed in the first place.

It's good for Hillary and everything but what the gently caress man, Obama saved the whole US Auto industry through sheer political will and this motherfucker backed Mitt, who would have gladly let Detroit burn in Hell. Remember: after this election, "reasonable Republicans" will still be powerful garbage.

This is cool and all but quote:“And I have always voted for Republicans for president. Not this year.” I look forward to the day when uttering this causes people to be taken aback. You voted for Nixon, Goldwater, Reagan, both Bushes...and you're proud of that?

Yeah it's the one podcast I don't auto-subscribe to. I always check who their guest is and decide if it's something I want to listen to. Sometimes because it's like this, other times because it's too depressing and I have to kind of ration that in my media diet these days.
