so you have nothing on Beck. That's what we thought, just more liberal lies from you. One day maybe you will look for the truth

Right wingers would have no idea what anyone was even talking about. Sweeping generalizations are a tool of the ignorant. You are very practiced in the use of that technique. J.

Koan, > I took a bike ride this morning thinking about Chomsky. I think he simply thinks deeper than most and has more variables at his command to consider more sophisticated realities. So you're a fan of a utopian socialist, whodathunkit? > I was thinking of nuclear war. Statisticians have figured out there is a very high probability we will have a nuclear war if we do not get rid of all weapons. So how do we humans solve this problem. The only viable solution I can think of is for the US, China and Russia to force all countries to get rid of nuclear weapons. a) No nuclear power will ever get rid of all their nuclear weapons. b) Without any threat of force, rogue nations like Iran and North Korea will not stop seeking nuclear weapons for themselves. > Right wingers would have no idea what anyone was even talking about. I'm a right-winger, and not only do I have a good idea of what you are talking about, I also have enough common sense to see right through your B.S. Tenchusatsu

No you can't - if you could give an example of Beck getting facts wrong, you'd do it. You have no interest in knowing the truth about anything that goes against your ideology, which is why you're upset with people like Beck. What have I got wrong below? I took a bike ride this morning thinking about Chomsky. I think he simply thinks deeper than most and has more variables at his command to consider more sophisticated realities. I've read Chomsky and was amazed that someone could hate America that much. He's a transparent ideological communist and anti-American. Did you that immediately after 911, he went on a speaking tour of India and Pakistan telling the media there that America was PLANNING on killing millions of Afghans? He is also committed to telling anti-American lies to the best of his ability. It is easy to get on the wrong side of even liberals with logical ideas. Here's a very simple logic test for you. Its pretty easy, lets see how you do: Jack is looking at Anne, but Anne is looking at George. Jack is married, but George is not. Is a married person looking at an unmarried person? A) Yes. B) No. C) Cannot be determined. The only viable solution I can think of is for the US, China and Russia to force all countries to get rid of nuclear weapons. Okay, lets start with the country thats violating the NPT right now - Iran. Problem: China and Russia don't seem to care if Iran gets nukes. So what do we do, oh great liberal logician? Come on, lets hear the logical liberal solution? I know, I know - do nothing and blame it on righwingers.

And from the woman who can see Russia from her house....... THE IMAGINARY CURRENCY CONSPIRACY.... Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R) spoke at a Wisconsin Right to Life fundraising banquet over the weekend, and repeated a rather obscure right-wing conspiracy theory that occasionally pops up in religious right circles (via Ron Chusid). If Palin's spouting it, the idea might start making the rounds -- coming soon to a Fox News program near you -- so it's probably worth taking a moment to set the record straight. Noting that there had been a lot of "change" of late, Palin recalled a recent conversation with a friend about how the phrase "In God We Trust" had been moved to the edge of the new coins. "Who calls a shot like that?" she demanded. "Who makes a decision like that?" She added: "It's a disturbing trend." Unsaid but implied was that the new Democratic White House was behind such a move to secularize the nation's currency. Oh, I get it. President Obama is a secret Muslim, a secret Jew, and a secret atheist. I knew it. In our reality, however, Sarah Palin doesn't have the foggiest idea what she's talking about. In 2005, a Republican Congress commissioned a new dollar coin, which was approved by a Republican president. In the proposed design, "In God We Trust" was moved to the edge of the coin. The religious right flipped out, and a year ago, the Democratic Congress approved a Brownback/Byrd measure to move the phrase back onto the front of the dollar coin. In the same speech, the former governor talked up the concept of "death panels" in health care reform, casually threw around the words like "bogus" and "awesome" to discuss weighty topics, and generally made a series of observations that didn't make any sense. It is, to borrow a phrase, part of "a disturbing trend."
