Hon, Breitbart versus indoctrination? Please.
"....Breitbart...."
Let's see if I can explain the difference between you and scholarship.
1. Short of outright
banning free speech.....certainly on the Left's agenda.....there are several attempts their Janissaries (better look that up, you dunce) use with metronomic regularity, to disqualify and delegitimize....as in your attempt of Breitbart.
2. First step in their playbook of 'delegitimization' is to
refuse to accept any statements of fact, or even strongly supported opinion, unless they come from a Leftist source....the NYTimes, HuffPost, the DNC, MSNBC or the like.
Get that?
Only accept an admission from your side.
Is that insane????
3. Frequently a post on the message board includes either a link, quote, or reference to Breitbart, World Net Daily, or Rupert Murdoch, or Ann Coulter, or some other right-thinker, and rather than admit that the item is dispositive (look it up, dope) for the thread or question under discussion, often the Leftist,totalitarians, with the alternate view:
a. refuse to address the issue, because the citation is on the opposite side (e.g., your post)
b. resort to an emoticon of laughter, or some sort of sign of disrespect, or the use of ‘lol.’
c. feel that some sort of “there you go again” response, rather than an actual refutation.
d. Attack the referred item with an Ad Hominem jab, pointing to an imagined physical or mental defect, or alter the name in some absurd manner.
In short....anything but an actual response.
4. What we have here is the kind of
defense against opposing ideas that is indolent at best, and intellectually cowardly at worst.
5. As an example, FrontPage, the online Internet magazine has received more than one billion ‘hits.’ It has interviewed leading intellectuals, politicians and human rights activists such as Bat Ye’or, Vladimir Bukovsky, Christopher Hitchens, Khaleel Mohammed, Daniel Pipes, Natan Sharanky and Andrew Sullivan. It has therefore had both left, liberal voices (Stanley Aronowitz, Susan Estrich, Michael Lerner) and right-wing voices (Tammy Bruce, Ann Coulter, James Woolsey).
6. To dismiss a source or author because they promulgate an alternative or even a hated perspective, without consideration of the truth of their premise lacks integrity....intellectual and moral.
I'm not optimistic of you learning from this.....but you'll be unable to deny it.
