I nominate Talk Radio Hero Mark Levin. I've heard only ~10 minutes of his show from being in my dads car. He just strings together a series of dubious premises that are never actually explained or justified in an impressively constructed cadence full of pathos, ethos, and absolutely no logos. Among the more unsettling parts was him playing an obviously professionally made ad claiming and desperately assuring it was made by high-schoolers and college students that was a generic rightwing shill ad, but had alleged teenagers clamoring for "Reagan principles" that even built up to the requiem for a dream theme. It was creepy propaganda because this is clearly trying to make baby boomers think teenagers are particularly conservative or yearning for "Reagan principles". You could use trig functions to map when he'll have a NPR whisper or be shouting. He is so goddamned creepy; he sounds and talks like the camera voice from facialabuse.com

Sephyr posted:Not being a US citizen, I don't have quite the same thrist for republican tears. However, I've been diging through Free Republic and Fox and some other places and...well. The republican party is essentially the white nationalist party. These people are the bile spewing fringe terrified and enraged by the writing on the walls. They've always been here, but they're waning. Conservapedia is funny in its absurdity, but freep is the drat abyss.

BUSH 2112 posted:I'd imagine that a good 80% of young progressives were dumbass libertarians or pseudo-libertarians at one point. If you're a relatively intelligent person, there's a huge draw to the whole Randian "Use Your Mind to Shape the Universe" outlook. I mostly just think that teenage libertarians are adorably naive, now. Or it was obvious the rich are kind of evil from a young age.

Kiwi Bigtree posted:What is it with all these old metalheads going hard right in old age? I mean, I do not expect them to be socialists or anything, but its weird to see a bunch of former counter-culture jeans, titties, leather, and satan types all saying "I vote for the old white guys in suits now." Atleast Halford came out against Arizona immigration laws. I think its because a lot of classic/hard rock and metal is old white dudes who used to be angry white dudes. Geoff Tate and Blackie Lawless hated Bush atleast.

NewtGoongrich posted:It's impossible to read the New Testament without coming to the conclusion that Jesus hates the rich and powerful. Conservatives are eager to slobber all over the cocks of the rich and powerful. I guess they love the rich and powerful more than the god they professor to believe in? To be fair this has been true for virtually every institution that has ever existed. Principles are nice and all, but sometimes (all the time) you make compromises to make money.

The rural areas of the south were crushed because their aristocracy got its poo poo wrecked by less horrid people. They've survived in 3rd world-esque conditions since, but we tried to be cool with them with the new deal and they went out of their way to vote for the dismantling of safety nets for the guys promising to stick it to black people. I think we spoiled them with the Tennessee Valley authority.

Cardboard Box A posted:-http://dailycaller.com/2013/03/03/ashley-judd-potential-senate-candidate-sure-has-done-a-lot-of-on-screen-nudity/ There is no war on women, they just don't have value beyond their bodies, and we have to maintain control over those. Is it hyperbole to take away from that statement that they think women have no value beyond their bodies? Is this why they like Palin so much?

I remember an awful Tom Clancy book about neonazis recruiting kids with racebaiting messages on video game "controllers" (it was the early 90s I think). The modern equivalent would probably just be Drudge loaded up on splash screen.

mr. mephistopheles posted:I like libertarians because they have no personal issues with minority groups but they still support economic policies that gently caress them as much as possible. Those programs aren't designed to gently caress minorities, and if they do its their fault anyway. - Every Libertarian.
