What am I asking; of course you can’t.
But you’ll demand that Fox do so with Holder, because hypocrisy.
Don’t change the subject. I am demanding you explain just what Eric Holder did to deliberately provoke police shootings. That is a very, very serious charge. If you are unable to admit it. We will be able to move on to a real discussion.
HAHAHAHA, “don’t change the subject, oh please, please stop pointing out what flagrant hypocrites we all are for accusing Sarah Palin of inciting a shooting and then hyperventilating because Fox had the temerity to do the exact same thing.”
It’s really a simple question. If you demand that Fox produce evidence of Holder’s intent, then why can’t TPM do the same vis-a-vis Palin?
You can’t answer that, because hypocrisy.
No. You got that so backwards that I have to wonder whether you manage to dress backwards every morning. You sure your fly is in front today? Let me help you out, since you appear to be nothing but a deeply confused, slightly retarded conservatroll who has been revved up by a whole bunch of wish-think, talking point indoctrination and bath salts:
FAUX NEWS is “stoking resentment” against Holder by manufacturing grossly inappropriate assumptions and engaging in a game of fabricating irrational dots to connect.
Conversely, Holder and the DOJ were merely doing their duty and reporting the FACTS and DATA that their investigation uncovered, i.e., numbers and actual, demonstrable information that CANNOT BE DENIED, which they were required to make public and to which the public was entitled.
Now, run along and GROW. THE. FUCK. UP.

This post was not about Sarah Palin, it was about Fox News accusing Eric Holder of deliberately provoking the horrible shooting of two police officers with absolutely no evidence at all. This is about your asinine defense of Fox News. I have to ask, are you Sarah Palin? Your argument sounds exactly like the kind of crap she would post.

I have long wondered about the men who participate in the sports events which are connnected with the FOX Network.
As someone who followed Tommy Smith, John Carlos and others, I am keenly aware of the power of Sports. And I grieve for the corrosion of the souls of the grinning “analysts” along with the athletes.
I remember the brief alarm and “outrage” (that word again) focused on one person (Donald Sterling) in the NBA who made idiotically racist statements. And I remember the “outrage” over Trayvon Martin.
The Outrage Patrol was on, and one would have thought that this was the Second Coming of the old Civil Rights consciousness.
But these “outragees” were fairly safe in their “struggle”. There was no real danger at not being able to collect tens of millions of dollars for placing a round ball into a net, ten feet high. And risking more than that can involve some missed payments on some juicy luxury items.
IF athletes and analysts of color decided that the country needs for FOX to behave, a shutdown (er “boycott”) of participants in these sports would work out quite nicely.
However, the chances are excellent that there would be so many turncoats (of all colours) undermining this action that the coats would be distributed by sizes…Medium, Large, Extra Large, Extra Extra Large, Extra Extra Extra Large, etc.
It’s hard to be “at the forefront of change”…and then turn around and see the back of people’s heads.
A picture and text stoking the punishment of senators that voted for ACA is not an “assertion” until you just made it one. Fallacy number 2 Palin is not representative of all conservatives until you made her such.
So you beleive that holdens responsible for the shooters then huh?
How dare they!
This was a peaceful protest where they peacefully shot a cop in the face… WITH PEACE.
If shooting someone in the face isn’t peaceful, then I’m not sure how to regard the rest of the media, telling me of this peaceful protest.
Heck, this is enough to make me want to shoot more people in the face; because I’m feeling very peaceful right now.
PEACE OUT!
Witnesses said Thursday that the shots that struck two police officers doing crowd control at a protest outside the Ferguson, Mo. police department didn’t come from demonstrators.
Clearly you missed the article which stated the above – that the shots which struck two policer officers did not come from the demonstrators. So your use of the pronoun “they” (describing the shooters) with the antecedent “a peaceful protest” is entirely inaccurate. But why bother with accuracy when you can spew flaming hate turds from the safety of your desk?

It is amazing that one person trolling along can tie up so many people (including me, for this instant)
Nobody accused Jabberwocky Barbie of actually inciting a shooting. NOBODY. People merely pointed out that, in light of what happened to Gifford, Jabberwocky Barbie’s rhetoric (and that of people like Sharon Angle, who talked about “Second Amendment remedies”) and her choice of map symbols were, in hindsight, not the type of thing our politicians should be saying or using as the symbology that accompanies what they say. You’re deliberately mischaracterizing what people were saying back then in order to manufacture a straw man you can burn. It’s total bullshit. Particularly in light of the fact that the shooter turned out to be a severely mentally ill kid and had nothing to do with Jabberwocky Barbie’s little “target” map, nobody ever claimed she was to blame or responsible for it. Any example you can find would be some whackjob outlier…an exception to the rule…who was clearly acting irrationally and talking shit. BUT, at least for us “lefties,” that kind of bullshit remains an exception to the rule…whereas for you RWNJs, it’s become the religion.

“…it incites race relations — it incites riots,” Massi said.
That was no slip of the tongue. What Massi said is precisely what he meant.
“Race relations” and “riots” are exactly the same thing in his tiny little brain.
Or, at least if it’s “those people” doing the rioting.

You’re right, this post isn’t about Sarah Palin. It’s about progressives getting themselves worked up over the sorts of half-baked accusations that they are perfectly happy to make themselves, when the shoe is on the other foot.
Or as the dictionary defines it, hypocrisy.
Sarah Palin is way off topic. If you care then open your mind, read the DOJ report and work the problem. IOW - don’t be afraid to face facts.

Rwanda was the training ground for the Far-Right Media and FOX News in particular.
It is no coincidence that FOX changed it’s tune and became Pravda right after Rwanda happened. Roger Ailes saw a blueprint for an easy path to capture an “underserved audience” of bigots and fools (and make tons of money in the process) and took the idea to Murdoch, and the rest is history.

Have you read the DOJ report on Ferguson?

Of course he hasn’t. He’s been busy getting $0.25 per post in some basement in exchange for trolling “liberal” comment boards to advertise the latest fashions in conservative outrage and attempt to “debunk” whatever the “progressives” are talking about. The last thing he read was probably the daily list of talking points he’s been told to work into his postings.

These two items you’re trying to conflate are not the least bit relatable. It’s actually kind of funny watching you contort yourself trying to make them analogous. In the current event, Holder reported the findings of an investigation. I understand that fact-finding is above your pay grade, but Sarah Palin was not dealing in facts. Her incitement was based entirely on – and I’ll put this more generously than she deserves – a desire for her political party to maintain legislative superiority. If you can’t see the difference in these two situations, you really should can the shrill idiot talk.
