I just think of how you both could - if you were brave enough - also get on his wall of retractions.

Or you could go read it. Of course getting his side of things wouldn't be comfy, so I don't blame you if you just keep parroting.
Or you could quit trolling us with personal attacks, and link to it.

Of course, that might be too difficult. :coffee:
If one truly had confidence in one's sources one wouldn't be so shy about linking to them. Seems rather cowardly actually. :tea:

I told you why I didn't bother with the link. You can show I was right, by failing to check his side of the story, and just accepting all the media smears about him.

Or, you could read that link, and see if you were given a false story about any of it.

Either way, I'm happy to see CNN humiliated again and again by him. I mean, they have no shame about their propaganda, or their deliberate lying to their rubes, but I get a bit of satisfaction.

It's really easy to believe any of the smears about him. A lot more challenging to accept some facts from a source that you clearly dislike (if you dislike him or PV, for some reason)

You had your chance to make your case for PV's veracity and couldn't. Trying to put that on me is bad logic. :disappoint:

You also failed to notice that I did bother with that link, because I did my research, and found PV is an unreliable source. Unsurprisingly, you ignored that.

Perhaps your feelings about CNN got in the way. I know a lot of people find it easier to accept unproven theories about media smears when a source confirms their biases. It's much more challenging to fact check media that tells you what you want to hear. :tut:

You call it trolling all you want, I don't mind. (If you read carefully, you can see me giving permission in the post you quoted)

I call it showing CNN as the shit-smearers they are. If you were trying to make some point of disagreement clear to me, you missed it.
Crypto-Fascist CNN is only slightly better than the Neo-Nazi Fox News.

...so I agree with you.

Line them all against the wall, the others we re-educate.

You see fascists everywhere, but none of them attack you for your criticism of them.

It's almost like the only fascists you see, are the ones in your imagination.

How would you know?

I mean, you might have been jailed for anything, but since you see fascism everywhere...

Anyway, Crowder has just released a new 'change my mind' episode. The first gent he talks to seems to have a good handle on why he has a position different than Steven. I'm going to listen to the rest today.

https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/voter ... ge-my-mind
KEY DETAILS:

If requiring ID is "racist," then airlines, liquor stores, movie theaters, and gun shops are racist.
DEFINITION OF RACISM: "A belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race." SOURCE: Merriam-Webster
THE 15TH AMENDMENT:"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." SOURCE: Constitution Center
Majorities of whites (74%), blacks (73%), and other minorities (82%) say voters should be required to show photo identification before being allowed to vote. SOURCE: Rasmussen
87% of black people have some form of confirmed photo ID. SOURCE: ProjectVote (pg. 3)
90% of Latin Americans have a form of confirmed photo ID. SOURCE: ProjectVote (pg. 3)
Percentage of Americans who have ID vs. percentage who vote. SOURCE: CNN
87% of black people have ID, only 13% voted in the 2020 Election.
90% of Latin Americans have ID, only 13% voted in the 2020 Elections.
95% of white people have ID, only 67% voted in 2020 Elections.
97% of registered voters in Georgia have a valid ID. SOURCE: AJC
Voter ID laws have been shown to actually INCREASE turnout in states that recommend them, such as Georgia and Indiana. SOURCES: Heritage, Heritage
Specifically in Georgia from 2004 to 2008, turnout increased
140% among Hispanic/Latino voters
42% among Black voters
Compared to 8% of Whites
Someone should probably come along and call him 'far-right' or something...attack his character in any case, so they don't have to deal with the points he made.

Come to think of it, even the guy who sat with him should be called something...far-right-adjacent, I guess.

My guess is that a biased media will take time to attack his character, but not take time to address any facts. Almost as if they push one political party in the US over another, kind of arbitrarily.

Neither. Just pointing out that what he calls 'fascist', I don't. At least some of the time.

Nice job trying to put words in my mouth though. I remember why a lot of times I don't bother answering you.

Try mindromp. If you want an open discussion, I mean.

You'll also have to find someone willing to discuss what you want, but you have all this here, with all these smart folks. Surely ONE of them will take you up?

Or are all the non-Democrat members just not posting with you?

Ah, Mindromp is great for open discussion. You posted there on the 6th of April. It's the only post added to the forum in the past three weeks.
