Woah shiiiiiiit.
Knowing the reaction that some scientists I know give when even something mundane isn't what it's supposed to be, I've got to imagine the response was pretty animated.

Thats not as bad as when we flew with nukes.
The B-52 crash? Jeez we dodged a bullet there. That would have been quite embarassing.

The worst they can dig up is that his state budget is slightly better than the federal government's budget.

So how was Obama responsible for releasing live anthrax spores? Did he do it on purpose to kill Americans or was it a plan to push healthcare by touting how Obamacare saved anthrax victims lives?
We want to know.

In comes Kara to insist that we consider the facts rather then just groan like Frankenstein's monster...
OBAMA BAD!!!
yeah kara, obama could have totally gone against all our prior agreements. the congress, and the will of the people and sent in a hundred thousand unarmed troops to hug them into submission...
so why didn't he HUH!? HUH!? HUH!?
Again, you parrot that Obama is somehow bound by Bush's policies and has absolutely zero command of our war policy.
Stupid stupid stupid. Hey remember when some 90s president pledged to support Ukraine against Russia in exchange for them giving up their soviet nukes? Oh how come Obama didn't honor that one? I thought he was bound to all our prior agreements?

If you're a good candidate, you make the media come to you. Kinda like that Obama guy who got no attention until his oratory skills had him topple the hydra currently sowing fear in the Republican party.
If that incompetent Obama could beat Hillary, this should be child's play for Rand Paul and friends.

That one and the one in 2000ish when one B-52 flew with 18 nukes across the country, breaking just about every treaty out there. A lot of people got fired for that.

Hillary Clinton is going the Jenny McCarthy route...
So far it's kicking the *** off of our throw fifty candidates up against a wall to see if any of them stick approach...
I'm biased as hell but so far john kasich looks the least crazy of the field... Scott Walker, for crying out loud.
Seriously!
Liberals hate him because he gets the job done, and he has proven his worth as governor of Wisconsin. Scott Walker? Who insisted that because he could take on the unions it proves he can take on ISIS?
I admit that if he doesn't get indited he has a good chance.

What hate speech?
Edit: Googled it, only articles showing such accusations are coming from Salon, Mother Jones, Huffington Post, and Vox. So, there is no basis or evidence of such hate speech, Chanti is parroting misinformation yet again.

While I don't disagree with your assessment, I will say it's interesting that someone who is all about making as much money as possible otherwise by whatever means are deemed legal is critical of the media for doing just that.
Just an observation, not an attack. I've no interest in a "yo mama" fight today.

If you believe the fiscal right about Unions, they're practically the same thing and they'd like to treat them the same way. "Kill it with fire, they're probably harming our bottom line".

It's the common conservative trope here. Laud about how money = success = work hard yet complain when they can't get media attention because the media is owned by wealthy liberals who are also communists who are also the scourge of the Earth.
All I'm hearing is 'you need to bootstrap more'.
If you're all so business savvy and paragons of capitalism, why can't you manage to match if not defeat the evil forces of liberal media? Are conservatives lacking in wit, talent and business acumen or something? If TYT can make it then saddle up and be the second coming of The Blaze.
And quit whining about the media. It's a defeatist, liberal attitude to have. No one's going to help you but yourself. Losers.

I'm saying that people are buying into the fluff (see: Chanti, Jet, Pleebo, Vic) because it looks good to them, instead of either reading between the lines or discovering that what they are being fed is kibble just to produce more revenue for the media outlets because they are such gullible kids.
Although, I will admit that conservative media outlets (aka Fox News) does exactly the same thing. That's why I don't use either sides arguments without looking at both sides.
Scott Walker doesn't have much against him, and the media knows that, that's why you see (almost) absolutely no mention of him at all. He is the best candidate for the GOP, but you cannot even see it because the media is all about Bush and Paul.

Nausi is just responding emotionally.
Chanti is likely referring to the shady activity that has landed many of Walkers cohorts in court, charges that he himself has successfully evaded because while he may be a corrupt ***, he's really, really good at it.
Which, come to think of it, isn't the worst endorsement for a politician I suppose.

Even if I believed the things he says about unions and the like, I'd have a hard time supporting him given the above. Even if you decide that his actions benefitted more people than they hurt in Wisconsin ( quite debatable), he's Clinton-level dirty and doesn't have the support of the poor or causeheads the way the Clintons do.

More like that conservatives do not want to dictate what should or shouldn't be published (as it would be illegal and hypocritical to do so).

I'm still rooting for a Biden vs. Christie general election. If we can't find any good candidates anyway, we might as well make it entertaining.

The media does what makes them money, they aren't concerned with the best candidates when they're all essentially devolving/devolved into gossip rags. It's actually a scathing indictment of what happens when money becomes the end all, be all but hey lets not get critical or anything.
American news is gutter trash and it's a shame you have to look globally to find something approaching real news because we're devoting whole blocks of time to ***.

lol, the whine about media isn't that conservatism cannot compete, because obviously it can (and win). Only that the field is so heavily dominated by a particular ideology that the shear volume of troops tilts the universe.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
