And that's exactly why you are always wrong! You are incapable or unwilling to tell who is lying to you. Goldberg lies to you and you swallow it whole and you condemn and mistrust anyone who exposes his lies to you.On another thread, a member is discussing the President's recent description of those who oppose his policies as 'the enemy'. Earlier today, my opposition to his policies was described as 'obnoxious'.
What do liberals really think about conservatives? Do you conservatives care? Does being described as an 'enemy of the state' or a 'child throwing a temper tantrum' or 'not grasping reality' make you more introspective or inspired to rethink your opinions or attitudes? How about being called names or described in other unflattering terms?
Discuss.

Please.
No one will ever accuse him of relying (primarily) on anything as inconvenient as the facts.
He's never been the same, since he had to (actually) start competing with women & minorities , in his lil' world o' journalism.
Man Up, Bernie ol' boy!!
Well you know what? I trust Goldberg to stick to the facts a hell of lot more than I trust Media Matters. Or for that matter those who look to Media Matters for their facts.
You pretend to care about context, but when Goldberg takes a quote out of context, and then goes even farther and switches the order of his out of context quotes to make it look like his out of context quote is a reply to another quote, you mistrust anyone who might show you the transcript with the quotes in context and in their proper order.
For example:
From the liar's book, "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media," the pathological CON$ervative liar gives this "quote"
The liar makes it look like Brokaw is talking about Obama, he wasn't! Brokaw was talking about what CON$ say about Obama. And it looks like Brokaw was answering Rose's question, he wasn't. Brokaw stated the quote about CON$ BEFORE Rose's question.ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.
Here is the transcript of the show with the liar Goldberg's quotes in red:
ROSE: Exactly, two of them, two books. What do you make of him? Tell me what you see there, because I was talking to a friend of mine, and he said, I see someone who is clearly aspirational, someone who is clearly bright, someone who is clearly ambitious in the best sense of that, but who is clearly cautious. And in the end, he may very well be a man of the center.
BROKAW: He is a very interesting figure in American politics. He has made very few false steps along the way, when you think about this long, difficult road that he has been on --- against the Clinton machine first, and the appearances he has made all over the country.
Sure, he has hit some speed bumps, and there are conservative commentators who say there is a lot about him we don't know because we haven't asked enough tough questions --- the Bill Ayers relationship --- even those who say we've got to go back and explore what his drug use was.
[...]
ROSE: All right. We know people sometimes by the books that they read, heroes they have. We know John McCain, for example, enormously admires Teddy Roosevelt, probably more than anyone else
in a political sense, and really wanted to run a campaign, you know, in which Teddy would be his model --- Teddy Roosevelt.
What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama --
BROKAW: He likes Justice --
ROSE: --- the books?
BROKAW: Well, he --- Thurgood Marshall is a big hero of his. He has got a picture of him in his office.
ROSE: Now was that because of his central role in arguing Brown versus Board of Education?
BROKAW: Well, I think that --- remember Barack Obama went to Harvard Law School and taught at the University of Chicago, and there was no greater legal figure in the African-American community or in those times when America was changing than Thurgood Marshall. So, that makes perfect sense.
You see, unlike you and your fellow travelers, I show what the correct context is when I say "out of context,"
