(60,536 posts)But we've had this discussion before haven't we, when you commented about another thread you found repugnant.

(9,214 posts)Your complaining about a post by replying to it is like a person dumping garbage in a landfill and complaining there is a landfill. Plus you have not only insulted the OP you have also insulted every other poster that, like me, found something interesting about the OP.
Or is it just about increasing the post count?
Fred Sanders
(23,946 posts)point, just deflection.
And now strawmen ad hominems.
Post counts...of who?
If liberals want the morons to STFU, why give them a louder voice??
A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)to any inquiry from you? As for me? I think your posts in this thread are a waste of space, or at least that's what someone up thread says.
Post count? Why yours, what other reason would you have for posting in such a useless and wasteful thread?

(24,395 posts)Jon Voight may be a moron, but like many in profession has a fairly loud megaphone to push his views
Knowing what someone in the opposition says is important because it allows me to hear and understand what he is saying, so I can sound smarter opposing people like him
You are, of course, free to criticize posting his idiocy on DU.
I am okay with it

(29,322 posts)Seeing "Your world is on fire" and "make peace with Hitler" right after I clicked on the Video forum got a really good laugh which I needed. These jokers are great for comedy but understand policy wise they're very dangerous but they here, might as well get a good laugh out of it.

(6,419 posts)I agree that some sites like Right Wing Watch just focus on obscure, extreme voices and not enough on RWNJs that actually have an audience (the cumulative power of talk radio, for example).
But Voight is famous, has a large potential audience. It's important to highlight and call him out on his extremism.

Like the movie Enemy of the State. That movie wasn't designed be in favor of government spying (with national security as a justification) but he played the antagonist very well.

What does that say about you, other than your insane hatred of Black people (because you never spoke out politically before a Black man won the White House) and your open disdain for President Obama?

Iranian government, and installation of the Shah, that gave birth to the religious control in Iran. How about something a little more current, like the invasion of Iraq based on a lie, which destabilized the whole region, and balance of power, making Iran the "perceived" problem it is because that balance of power left a void. Same bullshit we did under Reagan in Afghanistan, which not only gave birth to Al Queada, but left a void in that area when after the Russians left.
Guess what Mr. Voight, those were all republican disasters I would like to hear you comment on instead of fancy sound bites for effect.
In fact if we hadn't overthrew the Iranian government in 1953, many of the issues in the Middle East would not be there, and guess what, Iran would have most likely been one of the best examples of a Democracy in that region.
Just stick to acting, because your ignorance is astounding

Thank Poppy Bush's 5 decades of pro-fascist cronyism with Rev Moon and Rupert Murdoch, a Korean cult leader and an Australian extortionist - Those are the patron saints of the American idiocracy. They're just too dumb to have noticed.

I really don't understand why you insist of giving these morons the legitimacy of air time.

Voight? A judgment call. Only RWNJs take him seriously, but he is well known.

A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)what the outcome of the negotiations with Iran will be. How can all of these right wing zealots know what the deal will be if it hasn't been announced yet?
The problem is that even if Iran promised to give everyone in Israel a pony and never to build a bomb and let Israel do the inspections, these people would still hate the deal. The real problem is they don't want peace in that region and this goes back to before the time Israel was formed after WWII.

(30,058 posts)This is to halt Iran getting a nuclear weapon. Sometimes it is smarter to negotiate an agreement rather than to continue the war. The world does not need another nuclear weapon going off, there is a lasting effect for years, it is not a good thing.
