I do a little game with Hannity's show on my drive home. Since I can't loving stand to listen to his smug rear end for longer than a minute, I flip over to his show during commercials on whatever I'm actually listening to and see how long it takes for him to say liberal media, Clinton, Franken or Benghazi. It doesn't take long. I got into a weird political conversation with a libertarian-ish dude the other night and it didn't go well. I usually avoid these conversations anymore but he started it by asking me what I thought about NFL anthem protests (I side with the players). The conversation spiraled horribly as he turned into a RWM talking points machine and I'll spare everyone the details beyond, when it came to the topic of income inequality, his solution was "start a business". Ok, dude. I wonder why that never loving occurred to me. Let's have a society where everyone owns their own business. So simple! I was being fairly cordial while standing my ground as he projected and put LWM talking points into my mouth and ascribing to me things I'd never said, but he rally pissed me off near the end of a 15 minute conversation by saying he "felt sorry for me". gently caress you, dude. I asked him if he knew how smug and condescending he sounded by saying that and told him I didn't want his pity or his loving sympathy. This was from a guy who 10 minutes earlier was bitching about how there''s no common ground and how we're all so divided. These people strike me as the types who watch Wall Street and Scarface and think that Gecko and Tony Montana are the heroes. Ranting, I know, but lastly I caught a few seconds of Rush today explaining that his entire mission with his show is to "show us who liberals really are". Except when he fucks up, of course, in which case he's just an entertainer. God, I hate these people.

Shaprio is an amoral psychopath just like the rest of them- he just happens to keep his screeching at a slightly lower volume so that makes morons like Joe Scarborough treat him like he is a legit intellectual. Yeah, Shapiro and Milo have 99% of the same views. The only difference between them is their stance on style and tactics.

I hate Trump but I at least...SHOCKER...can articulate how and why without parroting Michael Moore or Rachel Maddow (people who I listen to with a big block of salt handy as it is), just to use two counter examples of people RWMers hate. Part of why we're so hosed up as a culture is that too many people don't expend the energy to ANALYZE what they see/hear, they just hear it and repeat it.

I've met more than a few trans people who almost craved denigration like that. They'd invite people to make dick jokes about them, listen to horrible anti trans speakers and so on. My therapist tells me it's pretty common for people who manifest depression as the feeling that they don't deserve to be loved or respected. They seek out voices to affirm their warped view of themselves as unworthy. More than likely your friend is really depressed and all these excuses she's giving you for liking him are also excuses she tells to herself all the time.

The comment section on Matt Walsh's Facebook page has gone full crazy. He posted about a lack of exorcists and his followers have gone shooting off the reservation with their demonic possession theories. I'm in my phone and posting imgur links hasn't been working lately for me or I'd be serving up some snippets. It's... Well it's something.

I'm like, "when is the time and the place?" You're telling everyone to work constantly and then telling them to be political on their own time while saying we live in a free society. I mentioned Ali, Tommy Smith and John Carlos. He was getting noticeably angrier with me. I wasn't until he dropped that "i feel sorry for you" bomb. Smug, arrogant mother fucker.

When "The free market" is the god of the cult they worship 'just start a business' is the best advice they can ever think of because you have to join in their delusional worshipping. None of what that kind of person says is based in reality. It's cult following and preaching their gospel, so he probably was sincere in feeling bad for you just exactly the same way as Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on your door.

Yeah a former podcasting partner of mine, someone I've known since high school, is one of these. He waves his master's degree in people's faces to make it seem like he has evidence for any of his claims, but can only cite theory when called upon to prove that any of his anarcho-capitalist bullshit has ever existed anywhere. And he'll clown on Hannity types one minute, then start spouting identical talking points in political debates. I've yet to meet an actual, full blooded libertarian that wasn't either 1) a conspiracy theory nutter/insane survivalist type or 2) a self-denying Republican who collapses into a heap of Hannity-type talking points when pressed, like the guy you met. Pretty sad really. And they get so drat angry when you question them, don't they? Almost as if they're afraid that if they're even a hair off of full throated, loud defense of their beliefs they might actually analyze them critically and realize they're full of poo poo.

A couple of months ago, I saw this: https://mobile.twitter.com/SportyByNature/status/912337429683679233/video/1 It blew me away. It's so deep, and so thoughtful, and so honest. I had no idea he was that kind of man. I always just figured he and Skip were another wacky sports talk duo, and I never bothered to listen. I seriously got minor chills when he started in on, "... of seven NFL owners. Skip, allow me a second to name those guys ..." Holy poo poo. No one does that, at least not people who still rely on that industry for their living. Then, when he's talking about Ray Lewis... goddamn. "Not on one knee, on both knees." I know everyone is tired of that issue, but that monologue is phenomenal. Dude is in it with both feet, and he is naming names, and pointing right at the bullshit.

Every single male host of FN could be fired for harrassment and the viewers would never leave. Trump's election and the coming Moore win give them the permission structure needed to handwave every single fault on their side. They'll just bring up Clinton and Franken every time it's brought up.

I gooned it up on the Joe Walsh radio program http://walshfreedom.com/radio/ (Nov 29) At one hour forty I call him a snowflake for getting mad at Obama for saying "season's greetings" instead of Trump's "Merry Christmas" on the Christmas card. I know it's dumb and smug to get owned on national radio (because even if you are "winning" they'll eventually cut you off and speak to the audience alone) but it's also an incredibly exhilarating experience.
