Discussion for article #233364

Why is this suggestion even controversial?

Two-edged sword. “It’s so obvious that even Dubya agrees” or “Dubya agrees … well, not sure if it’s right.”

Seriously, can we grow up? It isn’t the ONLY thing to do, but a major way to help prevent disorder of various types is to remove underlining causes. The same is true regarding supporting education and job training to reduce crime here. Discontent arising from need are enablers in many a war or revolution.

Conservative math : sound bites > facts

It’s like the entire conservative movement has developed (or always have had) the ability to only see the surface and ignore all the nuance underneath. And that surface is getting thinner and thinner as time goes on.

If I’m trying to make a point, bringing up the fact that W agrees with me is not one I’d want to make.

well george bush did fight poverty…fought poverty so that very wealthy people would never have to experience it as for the rest of us tough nuggies…go to a recruitment center and sign up have we got a war for you

She is addressing the conservatives directly because they are rather, Pavlovian, lets say.
Say Reagan-get treat, hear bush-roll over play dead.

I can’t imagine a worst possible endorsement!

“Sorry, honey, we’re too busy laughing at you to hear what you’re saying.”

Because her statement, taken at face value, perfectly aligns with the right’s “Dems are terrorist coddlers” meme and the media can’t pass up an opportunity to parrot right-wing talking-points.

I would think it a badge of honor to be mocked by Fox News.

Well McBain, it’s more than obvious that many on the right extoll stupidity and/or lack of education and any deep thought is mocked.

Facts are meaningless in Wingnuttia.
