I'm saying your ramblings about Fox News, Drudge, White People and Obama have become as regular as the conspiracy theories were on DU. Basically every single political issue, whether Healthcare, Immigration, Taxes or Deficits comes back to hicks being led around by the racists on Drudge or Fox News. I think i could find a post by you in just about every single thread in this forum with this basic premise. The liberals, liberals, liberals! cartoon should be updated for you to Fox News, Fox News, Fox News!
Of course, it's easier to stomach a drubbing at the polls when you can just chalk it up to people being easily manipulated racists, bigots and rubes.
wat? Okay, so, back to what I actually wrote: tom wrote about how conservatives "seem against" this level of security. I posted that no, actually, some are perfectly fine with it, and those are aren't actually aren't adhering to a normative principle, they're just upset the state is making everyone (and just not scary dark people) go through security theater.
We're conceding then that this isn't a conspiracy theory, merely just an opinion, that's expressed as much as conspiracy theories are on some forum, so that's cool.
Now we're just onto you being indignant that I think a lot of the right easily manipulated racists and bigots who respond to right wing media types racist dog whistles? That's cool too, I guess. I mean a bunch of the rhetoric isn't even dog whistles. Go watch that Hannity/Malkin video. She openly declares that she's in favor of draconian security measures, so long as the TSA agents discriminate beforehand, and only apply the security measures to foreigners. Drudge's photo today, as YOU conceded, was basically "oh noes the Muslims feelin up the Christians, WTF AMERICA!!"
So, is it:
- the right wing media types like Malkin and Drudge aren't making racist appeals? Like I invented that all in my mind?
- or the right wing media types are making racist appeals, but the right wing hoi polloi, like the freepers and yahoo commenters et al cited, aren't responsive to it?
- something else?
