She takes facts, and presents them well, then jumps off a cliff of speculation, complete with a man badmouthing old, white, men, Christians, anything and everything that doesn't fit their world view.<br /><br />They turned these guys into the new kkk. I'm not defending these people, but it's all speculation once you get past the fact that this sheriff has started some organization.<br /><br />It's perfectly within MSNBC's rights to say whatever, but imho, this is what's wrong with the news media, left and right. It's all sensationalism meant to keep the partisans stirred up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-16856283462473571802010-03-06T04:30:38.471-08:002010-03-06T04:30:38.471-08:00Silverfiddle - Only in the mind of a 'Righty&#...Silverfiddle - Only in the mind of a 'Righty' could the effort to expose the lies, the hypocrisy and the fear tactics of you on the Right be classified as "ideological porn". However in the world of wordsmithing - I'd have to say what I see coming out of the diatribes of you on the Right could indeed be referred to as ideological porn.vomamikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771110324011697887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-26120982174268400432010-03-05T19:50:45.616-08:002010-03-05T19:50:45.616-08:00"It is a testiment to the value of promoting ..."It is a testiment to the value of promoting fear. "<br /><br />I agree. MSNBC is promoting fear. And they are denigrating those who don't fit their ideology "Old white men" "rubes," etc. Not really language appropriate for a supposed impartial news channel.<br /><br />This is ideological porn.<br /><br />For some balance:<br /><br />http://www.shreveporttimes.com/article/20100227/NEWS01/2270314/1060/NEWS01<br /><br />http://www.bossiersheriff.com/public-view-news.cfm?id=781Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-34008119186382164862010-03-05T05:25:20.303-08:002010-03-05T05:25:20.303-08:00It is a testiment to the value of promoting fear. ...It is a testiment to the value of promoting fear. When you have 24/7 of irrational thinking coming out of Fox Noise and the RNC - when you have thinly veiled hate groups ginned up over the election of a black President - when you have a Republican minority in Congress who value politics over governing - well it doesn't surprise me one iota. The NRA has been using a boogeyman about gun control for decades. Alice in Wonderland is alive and well - unfortunately - in our country today.vomamikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771110324011697887noreply@blogger.com
