As Predicted, Shepard Smith Goes Home

[Circe]

Here is a good example of the problem: Your cartoon picture implies that the only way for this person to KNOW the truth is to give up what she thinks. That what she thinks is naturally false and the other side has Truth. This is the same game the Left has been playing for a long time against us: Propaganda Uber Alles.

No more.

 

[Mac1958]

You keep making this about Left vs. Right.

I keep making it about Left vs. Right because it IS about Left vs. Right. That's what has happened. That's the change, and I don't like it either: I can remember when people freely wore campaign buttons and had bumper stickers, and nobody fought, but the simple wearing of a MAGA baseball hat now leads to being beaten up by leftist crazies. People are afraid to say what side they are on in public. Nevertheless, most people have figured out what side they are on.

When the American Revolution was going on, there were Yanks, Tories, and fence sitters. You are a born fence sitter, at best, but that was no time to refuse to choose a side and this isn't either.

I personally believe you are a Leftist who is trying to subvert the Right from an unusual direction, but this constant shaming us that we won't OBEY whatever the Left wants us to do and think and say ---this is not going to work.

Well, that's your perception based on what you've seen.

The first line of my sig is my actual opinion on this stuff: It's not about "Left vs. Right". It's about the FUNDAMENTALISTS on BOTH ends vs. a MAJORITY of America. THAT is MY "side of the fence".

Again, that's your perception. I have absolutely no reason to tell someone to "give up what they think".

Instead, I believe that the best and longest-lasting answers come from the innovation that comes from communication, understanding and collaboration.

Creating something new, that we all have a part in: Like our Constitution.

Now you want to create a new Constitution??!

Figures.

With lots of anti-gun laws and increased government control against everyone, I'm betting.

Holy shit. No.

My point was that the Constitution was an example of innovation that came from collaboration.

Never mind.

You assume that everyone else has faulty perceptions.

There must be somebody out there (besides yourself) that can recognize fact from fiction.

Well, I think we can all agree that Trumpsters are much smarter than the rest of us, and have a vice-like grip on Da Troof.

See what I mean? This guy is on the Left -- that's why the mocking and sneering now -- and all this "let's move to the middle and split the difference" nonsense is just an unusual way to try to subvert us. Not one that is likely to work. There is no middle. No one is going to move there. Think up a new approach: this one has four flat tires and has for YEARS.

You're not in the middle if you're collaborating and creating something new.

Clearly, what I am saying is beyond you. Keep up the party over country stuff, I'm used to it here, from both ends.

Da Troof is pretty simple.

Do you know about that little voice in your head that helps you decern right from wrong?

Sometimes it's as simple as that.

What would you say is the difference between "The Truth" and "stuff I agree with"?

[Circe]

Clearly, what I am saying is beyond you.

But not beyond you? Because you're claiming to be so much smarter than anyone else? You assume the posture that you hover over the battlefield (like a vulture) and pretend to be above the fray as the village ...wise man.

Naaaaah. You are just pretending to refuse to choose sides while actually promoting the Left. You're going to get splinters off that fence you're sitting on.

 

[Circe]

What would you say is the difference between "The Truth" and "stuff I agree with"?

There is no difference. I'm surprised you don't get that, since you think you're so smart.

This is why you shouldn't nag night and day at people to believe what you do, in case their truth and reality are different from yours. It's kind of rude to constantly try to pull people out of their reality and into yours. On that note, I'll put you on Ignore for now; that holy fence-sitter act of yours is really tedious.

[Dick Foster]

Shep, unleashed. At least he'll be among his own kind.

MSNBC Bosses Eye Shakeup—and Talk to Shep Smith

I'm sure the ****** is more comfortable among his own kind.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Smith was definitely the first crack in the wall as Fox turned RINO.

Now Napolitano and Cavuto are refusing to bend over, and the network is full-blown radical extreme pinko commie socialist Hitler Nazi Fascist Stalinist commie.

What's wrong with these guys? Don't they know they're supposed to obediently toe the party line?

AON! AON! AON! They know how to do it! Only give us stuff we like!
.

Au contraire, the one with the lesser ratings tried to mess with those whose ratings actually pay the bills.

I wonder if MSNBC will be thickheaded enough to put him against Carlson or Hannity?

The cable "news" networks can have their silly little partisan slapfights to keep the nutters happy.

Their total viewership represents a small percentage of the populace.

Their viewership represents the informed part of the population.

The rest are obsessed with their toys and reality tv

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

See what I mean? This guy is on the Left

Which is your version of an insult and a write off...which is precisely MAC's point. You really could not have done a more efficient job of being his assistant and making his point for him.

Mac: How do I get an assistant like this?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Their viewership represents the informed part of the population.

*Unless they only watch Fox news. When that is the case, the data shows they are actually less informed than people who don't watch any news at all.

Try being a one-note Charlie for years and years. Or have you already been doing that? I haven't noticed.
