(12,530 posts)Instead of the "men of DU", you might better have mentioned the people in the other thread. I saw that thread, but didn't waste time with it, because I grew tired of the back and forth on that topic awhile back. For the record, the lady sounds like she's crazy. But also for the record, there's no doubt in my mind that the OP of the other thread posted it in order to cause trouble. He may have felt justified in doing so, or he may have just been throwing stones to see what he could break. There have been mean-spirited threads started on both sides of that divide. Anyway, in my opinion, your post might better have been directed at anyone in that thread who was acting like a jerk (I just saw the first 20 responses or so, and I don't know what shape the argument ended up taking). As for Fox News talking robots, they're there to propagandize, to shock, to try to normalize behavior that is no longer acceptable in our society. They're to be treated as unserious people, as pariahs, lest we accidentally give them too much credence by arguing against their insanity. I didn't put that very artfully, but when you see a crazy guy on the street claiming he's Ghengis Kahn, you don't argue the point with a stack of genealogy papers, you get him committed for being insane. Ok, that was also put very artfully, but you get the idea. Thanks.
