The Hardcore Right - It'll get worse before it gets better

[Plasmaball]

sheesh, I just got home from work and the Mac a doodle is still hard at it, bestowing his brilliance and wisdom on people..

glad i missed it

It's quite a burden, but I'm up to the task!

Well, you need some new material..Your hardon for "right wing" radio and wanting to shut people up in this country has run it's course..Here's a clue, don't listen to the radio, it gets your panties all bunched up when you do

What your simple mind doesnt seem to grasp, is the fact that we want you to keep talking. The more you talk the more people will see how mentally retarded you are.

Gotta love that First Amendment.

Except if you make a movie about a political opponent and you're a corporation.

Didn't Citizens eliminate that?

Though, personally, if we are going to say corporations are persons, it is only a matter of time before the courts give the same rulings to unions AND governments.

The Point. Jake Starkey can get it.

"if we are going to say corporations are persons, it is only a matter of time before the courts give the same rulings to unions AND governments", and that will happen sooner than later.

Radio hosts Michael Medved and Mike Rosen (KOA/Denver) are both conservative talk show hosts who avoid the whacked-out hyperbole practiced by the Limbaughs, Levins, Savages, Becks and Hannitys (the division pimps) of the world. So while they're committed partisans, they at least make the effort to be thoughtful, mature and reasonable.

In the last couple of days, however, they both had to deal with hardcore conservative callers who have been driven so over the top by their ideology (and, most likely, the aforementioned division pimps) that the talk show hosts were clearly embarrassed and had to disavow the callers.

In both cases, the talk show hosts were discussing gun control. And in both cases, the callers went into angry tirades about Obama. To paraphrase, both said something like "we all know that Marxist communist is gonna try to take our guns, and when he does, we're gonna defend ourselves against all those socialists who think they can destroy Amurrrrica." Something like that.

In both cases, the host sighed and paused, trying to find a way to respond quickly and respectfully. They then politely disagreed with the caller and moved on. I can only imagine what was going through their head, but I suspect it was something like "how do we get rid of these people?"...

Thing is, these people aren't going away. We see them here on this board, and they really believe the stuff they say. It's not a game. And they're so blinded that they don't realize how this is looking, what damage it's causing their own side.

They have to be marginalized, but how? I don't see how you get from here to there.

.

Fortunately they constitute a relatively small minority of conservatives and Americans overall; unfortunately they exact undue influence in the GOP and the right in general.

You’re correct they’re not going anywhere soon, particularly as American society becomes more diverse, more inclusive, with more Americans enjoying the liberty to freely express themselves as individuals.

In time the hatred and ignorance expressed by the extreme right will decrease as hard-core conservatives either find enlightenment or die off; but the hate and ignorance inherent in American conservatism will always be with us in some form.

Dems are in for a huge smack down in mid term

Huge!

Kiss the Senate goodbye!

Isn't that what you said this year? And the Dems actually PICKED UP two Senate Seats.

During the 2012 campaign, I kept asking them why they were so sure that Romney was going to win, despite all statistical evidence to the contrary. The conversations generally went something like this:

Them: "Obama's toast! Romney's gonna win in a landslide!"
Me: "Hmm, just curious: On what empirical evidence are you basing this prediction?"
Them: "Because Obama's a commie!"

Something like that.

well yeah, because Democrat never say stupid stuff. Or the real reason is the Lapdog Media for the DNC NEVER report on it..

but who cares, you people would forgive any dumb thing a Democrat says and go all gaga over anything a Republican say..

Democrats-Misspeak
Repulicans-say dumb shit
we got it

yep... the Democrats can run as many embarrassingly dumb-fuck candidates, on the order of Sheila Jackson Lee, as they want and win their targeted campaigns...

the GOP, on the other hand, can't afford to do that...

I like your idea of giving the Republicans seminars on not saying stupid stuff. The problem is that they keep saying things that play right into their very worst stereotypes, making them an easy target. Somehow the Dems have gotten the memo not to do that and they generally do a much better job of measuring their words.

Politics, whether we like it or not, is largely about image. Right now the GOP just doesn't seem to get that fact.

It's like i said, the media doesn't REPORT every single thing a idiot Democrat spews..
We wouldn't know about it without the Internet or Fox news..that must by why you all hate Fox so much
