I know that sounds good to you, but the problem is that "blowing things out of proportion" and "adding their own artistic license" are both highly subjective judgments. You and I, for example, could look at the same news clip and I argue two totally different interpretations of how objective the clip is. Furthermore, you could pick your interpretation and I could sit there and argue the exact opposite.
Which proves your original comment incorrect. Thank you.
How, exactly?
Because one cancels out the other.
The media is supposed controversial stuff. That's their job.
Against who, a generic silhouette? Take it up with 90s. :lol:
But you did not say that in the original comment I quoted. If that's what you meant then you need to clarify, and not use absolutes.
And yes, some people on the left are doing that, and some people on the right are blaming the left. Stupidity is abound on both sides.
You are mistaking doing something to incite others with informing the public about something someone else is doing. Even if what that someone else is doing serves only to incite others, reporting the facts about what they're doing is nowhere near the same thing as the act itself.
That argument hasn't been made by me, so by continuing to press me on it you succeed only in making yourself look foolish.
You know, it's been a long time since I've felt as angry as I have the last few days. It sure wasn't caused by the tea party. It was caused by the bull **** and lies being spewed by the sheriff and the media about the right, the tea party and sarah palin's map.

He's a liberal Dem with a partisan agenda and he wants to capitalize on this tragedy in order to damage those on the opposite side. No wonder you like him.When I saw the Sheriff and heard his comments my first reaction was "there is one great American". After hearing him several times, my new response is "damn, there is one really great American". He stands tall and says what must be said to those who do not want to hear it.
I agree but I think he's elected. The voters would have to kick him out.
He may be right, he may be wrong, but sheriff or not, he has the right to express his opinion.He should lose his job over this, IMO.
He may be right, he may be wrong, but sheriff or not, he has the right to express his opinion.
And I agree with him.
Strange entertainment, very strange.I watched some of an interview with the Sheriff last night on CNN and it was crazy. He was happily admitting that:
1. he had no evidence for tying the rhetoric/tea party to the shootings.
2. it was his job as a professional to speculate (!!!) and comment about it
3. it's not Rush's fault, but that attitude anyone can see is the cause
I was trying to figure out how it could be real, the things issuing from his mouth. What he needs to learn is that Beck and Rush are Entertainers who want you to believe they are public servants. And that as a sworn public servant, he should not be behaving like an entertainer.
He may be right, he may be wrong, but sheriff or not, he has the right to express his opinion.
And I agree with him.
However, being the sheriff, he has a professional responsibility to be careful about what he says.
