HAS ANYONE DISCOVERED A WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH A CONSERVATIVE EXTREMIST?

It seems as if trying to communicate with a tea bagger is like trying to communicate in an intellectual vacuum. The sounds from your mouth never reach a tea bagger's brain. They built a wall to prevent anything from getting through, like calling the media 'liberal'. So they only get their information from right wing radio and Fox News, believing it to be the gospel, even though not one talking head on Fox or right wing radio host is a journalist. Tea baggers don't realize they are watching or listening to entertainment shows, not the news. And they don't realize the people they listen to will say anything to increasing ratings, even if it means spewing hatred, racism, fear and lies.

If the media were 'liberal' as conservatives have whined about for the last 30 years, then why haven't conservatives done anything to change it? You would think in 30 year's time they could have made huge strides changing the media. But it seems they would rather just sit on the sidelines and whine. They seem to like being victims with a persecution complex, rather than being proactive people who try to change their perceived injustices. And why hasn't one democratic leader, or anyone for that matter, countered the 'media is liberal' claim by pointing their fingers at conservatives and saying how lazy, uneducated or stupid they must be to not be able to get educations and then jobs in the media? Why aren't conservatives attacked for whining about the phantom 'liberal media' when they are too lazy or stupid to do the hard work it takes to become journalists?

Every right wing radio host has said most Americans are conservative, or right of center. If that were true then wouldn't the media want to cater to such a huge market? After all, media companies are in business to make profits, so they would be fools not to follow the example set by Fox News and just cash in on the supposed lust for hatred, racism, fear and lies used by Fox News so well. If most Americans were conservative or right of center wouldn't every channel you turned to be like Fox News?

Have any of you been successful communicating with a right wing, conservative extremist? If so, how effective were you?




In the example in the picture above the vacuum of space prevents transmission of audio. It reminds me of the barrier within every right wing extremist, each of whom has their own interior barrier (or filters) to prevent sounds from being received.

If a tree falls in a forest it wouldn't be heard even if a right winger was standing right next to it, unless it was a right wing tree (like Fox News). :)
