If you want actual fake news, here is NRA leader Wayne LaPierre disseminating some to an eager crowd at CPAC as he claims that liberal protesters are paid $1,500 a week

And what all has the left done again to make themselves so dangerous, or is it really the right? Is a right-left danger switcharoo narrative under way?

Or to put it into bully terms, when a bully is caught they will sometimes try to place the blame for the dangerous behavior on their targets. A kind of bluff they may get away with depending on how much whoever caught them observed and knows.

1500 a week for all that work? Losers.
02-24-2017 , 06:44 PM
"all that work?"

You think $80k/yr under the table for protesting like ~once a week is a bad deal? What reality do you live in?

Meh, even that isn't fake news. It has to not only be fake, but also pretending to be a news source, eg this. Wayne LaPierre doesn't pretend to be a news source, partisan or otherwise. The Onion is fake news.

Lighting fires and getting pepper sprayed? For 5 hands of blackjack a week? Nah I'm good. Is Soros even a good pay?

Yes. Just as if I said you're Korean you can't understand what we're talking about. It's a personal attack and it's bull****.

I dunno, I bet a lot of conservatives consider e.g. Donald Trump to be a news source!

(but yes I was trying too hard to tie it into my previous post)

One thing I have learned in my short time here is that the threshold for what is considered a "personal attack" ('making an issue out of the person posting rather than the content of the argument') in a Content thread is very low.

So, yes, the post quoted above would be considered a "personal attack" in this thread.

Repeated posts of that type (going forward) would be cause for sanctions to be levied.

Okay, here's some legit fake news. Bill O'Reilly had this guest last night:



At 3:00 we get to hear from this guy about the immigration situation in Sweden:



A Swedish newspaper reports (in English) that the guy is a convicted criminal in the United States who does not live in Sweden and has no connection to Swedish security
02-24-2017 , 08:36 PM
After the FBI declined Trump's request to publicly refute the Russia stories, Trump admin turned to intelligence officials and lawmakers to do it instead.

Also contains this delicious snippet:

Quote:
The White House insisted the officials speak on the condition of anonymity — a practice President Trump has condemned.
LOL this hypocritical, incompetent administration.

Did anyone watch Real Time with Bill Maher tonight? It's the only liberal propaganda show I tune into still. I know he's full of crap and his facts are faked or taken out of context so I don't put much stock into his talking points, but I will laugh once in a while because he did come from the old school of comedy when free speech was still allowed. So he is inherently funny when once in a while he doesn't pander to his audience. And he also at rare times denounces this new lib agenda of craziness and tries to persuade the libs to stop the insanity.

Anyway, my point I want to make is, he had a Muslim community leader Asra Bomani on the show tonight who actually got the respect to speak out because she is a declared Democrat and believes in the left ideologies. However, even she voted for Trump because she wasn't paid off or influenced to tow the party line. If the Left was really smart in picking a party leader, it would be her! She is a Muslim woman that identifies as a Democrat and speaks closer to the center and is very rational. She did get cut off when she would challenge the current liberal hypocrisy and suggest a better solution to get their message out. Someone like her won't sell her soul or beliefs for $$$ and therefore, never get a position of power where she can be controlled by the Dems.

Just to put in perspective how strong a move it would be to put this woman as a spokesperson for the Dems...if they wanna play identity politics and have this self righteous platform of equality...put a strong intelligent rational Muslim practicing American woman as a key figure! She will then debunk the notion that Islam is a bigoted religion.

Obviously, I think this would be a dangerous strategy for the whole of American citizens. But in terms of a political strategy for the Dems, it would be a brilliant move to try and regain power.

Goofy, there are a number of right wing media sources supporting the opposite of this position in Sweden. But I'm not going to reference that. I'm just gonna play neutral here for a minute and assume left media and right media have evidence for their arguments on Sweden. Let's pretend they are both wrong and can't trust either of them. Fox is fake and CNN is fake. They twist the narrative to fit their agenda.

What does common sense tell us about integrating a new culture, a very different one at that than Typical Sweden culture and forcing them into this society. You are telling me that there is not gonna be a problem with this idea? History itself teaches us that assimilating a foreign culture onto another is never without conflict.

Uh, no, you are not playing neutral, and given how you disappeared from the last discussion you started after I wanted to talk to you about the Ferguson DoJ report I have zero interest in discussing this with you.

My post was not arguing the merits of immigration but rather showing that the president is getting his information about Sweden and immigration (remember, he brought up Sweden in the first place because he watched a different Fox News segment that also had flaws in its reporting) from a source that's pushing him fake news.

As an aside to the above post, it has nothing to do about racism which the libs try to make it be about. It's about culture and ideologies not mixing with Western civilization.

For example, I live in So Cal and do business in Tijuana with Mexican business partners. I recently visited there and witnessed this huge influx of Haitian refugees being welcomed and stuck there because they are not allowed to just cross the border into America after being displaced from the weather disaster they had there. Btw, these Haitians were turned away from the US Border during the Obama admin.

But the Mexicans have been very welcoming and accommodating for these refugees even though they have barely seen this many black people in their cities ever! They've never lived alongside this many black people. But the Haitians don't have an ideology they are imposing on their Mexican hosts. They just want to survive and have an opportunity to prosper. So it's not about racism, it's about infringement on our freedoms. You bet your ass if that Haitian refugee community started imposing their own religious law on the TJ community, they'd be unwelcomed.

As a perfect example of why nobody should bother discussing immigration with you, the fact that this does not happen in the United States hasn't stopped you from thinking it's appropriate to suggest it does in this argument.

Okay this a post I can agree on with you. I don't have any knowledge on the Ferguson reports so wouldn't pretend to debate with you on a subject I don't know.

And regarding the Fox News source as Trump's. I agree there too, that it's wrong to take them or even any new source now as legitimate. But I do think out all of this, which is what he most likely intended to do, was she'd light on the Sweden situation, and as he also mentioned in that Speech, the France and Germany situation
