Where does your racial animus come from? Black guy steal your girlfriend?
You repeatedly point out circumstances, not based on facts, where black people are characterized in a negative way.
Of course you're a Trump supporter, did you march in Charlottesville?

Pretty much is completely true. We don't have the popular hate filled tv hosts and radio hosts the right does. It's a thing of the right. It's not popular on the left.

Full disclosure- I don’t know who Alex Jones is. I had to google him. That said, libs and the ENTIRE MEDIA have been trying to run a 2 year smear campaign. The hate is strong on your side brother.

Somehow you think the truth matters. It doesn't. If you believe it it's not a lie. Rationalizing is real logic you just don't get because of your low IQ and inability to think straight because you're blindly following that orange monster, Trump.
Is this starting to clear the confusion? How about 'It's our truth?' I mean, if you redefine a word then you can use it however you want.
Pubs are piszing up a rope trying to reason this out.

She is a comedian with no radio shlw or tv show. So as of now you can't name one...not a single one. You have a bunch on your side. Also, if you had to Google Alex Jones, you shouldn't even posting on this at all. The President had interviews with him and he has been a huge national story. Long story short, you're literally clueless. I don't mean that in a bad way either. You're just not in tune.

What do they have to do with anything idiot? The hate filled people on your side. I like your emotion though. It shows how much you know I am right. You are entertaining though. God youre ignorant. You dont even know Alex Jones is. Dude...you should never comment on a political board again....hahaha...what an idiot. You are absolutely adorable.

I am not one triggered dude. I thought you were serious so I thought you were an idiot. If that was sarcasm than I apologize. We have our people on the left, but we dont have the popular hate filled shows with the likes of Alex Jones etc. That popular hate filled daily stuff if a right wing thing. It sells more to the right. The audience eats it up.

[ in reply to Re: Really not true*** ] |

I agree that them being mainstream keeps them from being able to dabble as much in the conspiracy theories, although the mainstream right has held the crazies at arms length for a long time. Some of the lefties are actually tenured professors, celebrities, and powerful activists, though.

The main stream crazies are on the right. Youre people are more passionate. We have the normal people and a small group of extremists who make us look bad. You're loaded with extreme nutcases.

I expect some comment on your use of the denotation of the word 'Token,' when they apply the connotative meaning. It's a redefining of words again and again.

their right to censor? I think one can respect a private company’s right to run its business as they see fit but still question if it was a good idea.
I don’t know as I’m not familiar with any of the banned people’s FB activity...which illustrates the other approach...if people don’t like it they can block them.

censorship out the window and concentrate on illegal stuff. Because for every personality you ban for some kind of conduct, there will be 20,000 other users with worse conduct still posting because they're less famous. It's just a losing cause to try and police your own website like that.

The only one who was ever close to mainstream was Yiannopolous, and his political comedy schtick was probably too vulgar for him to really be mainstream. The only thing I'll say is that I don't really think Yiannopolous should be lumped in with that crowd.

Sorry. I think he should be (not necessarily to be banned, but he's just as hate-filled and absurd... He's of the same character). Alex Jones, I would wager, has the biggest following of them all.

How big do you think Alex Jones’ following is?
May 2, 2019, 7:29 PM
|
|
A million? 10 million? I truly have no idea. I have never once seen a show or listened to a radio program he is on. I think I saw a 30 second clip of him freaking out once, supplies of course by a liberal friend. I’m pretty conservative and I know a lot of conservative people and never once has anyone mentioned him, quoted him, insinuated that they watch him or the I should. The only time I ever hear his name is from left-leaning people he has upset or scared.
But I’m certainly not plugged into any movements, so he might be wildly popular and I just don’t see it.

Ten million a month. They make millions in advertising and sales of dietary supplements, which shows how naive and gullible his audience is like Trump's base.

Facebook is a private corporation. Use of it's platform is voluntary and free. They can kick off whomever they want.
Alex Jones is a dangerous man. He is followed by dangerous people.

Especially with Yiannopolous, who isn't all that comparable to most of those guys. Yiannopolous isn't even far right, but he's definitely a provocateur. He also doesn't promote wild conspiracy theories.

I've only heard him speak once but that would be my guess. I know he's not conservative and the way he infuriates the dems I'm sure he's not liberal. That kinda narrows it down.

Even in the traditional sense, although he doesn't act like it. I can't remember, but I think he opposed gay marriage and is pro-life.

Unless you can show they're deliberately misleading people. As I said, they're going too far with this by once against focusing on right-wingers (minus Farrakhan), including a guy like Yiannopolous who isn't even all that extreme or interested in peddling untruths.

The government deliberately misleads people often.

So... should that be illegal?
Iran-Contra, Tonkin Gulf, Venezuela, Iraq, Syria...
So should it only be illegal when independent media do it? Also, who should decide on the veracity? The federal government?

You're a grown man, gainfully employed, and closer to AARP joining age than Clemson graduation age.
Put the jack and cokes down. Take the training wheels off. Get yourself a quality liquor and an adult mixer. We're not at $5 liquor pitcher night at Backstreets.
We are here for you. We won't let you fall. Trust us. Take the first step.

But, I defend their right to do evil ####. I banned Facebook a long time ago. Anyone still on that platform deserves to be abused by it.

Hypothetically, I might disagree with everything you say, but I’ll defend your right to say it. Because that’s how we roll in this country under our constitution. As for Google, Faceberg, Twitter, etc., they should all be regulated in accordance with the same rules that publishers obey.
