Is Right-Wing Media Responsible for Right-Wing Violence?

Well, who's 'responsible' for the marked increase of White Supremacy groups.....Obama???? :rolleyes:
 
I'm so sick of this "wing" fingerpointing.

Exactly. The two parties benefit from strife, and use us all to do their bidding, mainly vote and give them money. They both care nothing for any of us.

Believe in ideas, not people.
 
New media faction - barrel of a Gun (Smokin'!!!!:pimpdaddy


You :turnturn:
 
Ok granted that's a few others. But nobody takes Drudge or the NY Post seriously.

Meanwhile the left has pretty much every other TV channel and every other newspaper in the country.

And I'm not conservative or liberal. I just call 'em like I see 'em.

:cool:

what TV channel other than MSNBC?

No more than the liberal media is responsible for any liberal violence. The influence of the media is overrated in my opinion. I listen, sift and decide for myself and I would hope that most people would do the same. Perhaps I'm wrong....
 
IMO the Right-Wing media is not solely responsible for the violence these people would have had their views no matter what but its definitely adding fuel to the fire. I'd be the first to admit they are also Left-Wing extremist but nothing compares to the Right.[/QUOTE]

First, the guy who shot up the holocaust museum was a neo nazi follower of Hitler. Hitler was a fascist. Despite the number of times the progressives want to call conservatives fascists, fascism is a left leaning movement (Feel free to look it up for yourself).

Now as for the left not being close to the right. Hmm I don't remember anyone saying they hoped a group of blacks in NY gang raped Michelle Obama. I haven't heard anyone call Obama a baby killer, or Hitler. I don't remember seeing any movies made about killing Obama while he is President. I don't remember any lists of liberal women that people wanted to hate fuck. And I don't remember any conservatives pulling crosses out of old ladies hands and pushing them to the ground either. All of these things have happened in the reverse and they are just the ones I thought of off the top of my head.

Be honest with yourself and do some research. The number of violent conservative outbreaks isn't anywhere near the number of violent liberal outbreaks. As for the media having an impact on what these people do, to me that is just another example of how people in the world today don't want to be responsible for their own actions.

Oh and before anyone starts with the "you're a crazy right wing extremist" crap I actually am a member of the Constitution party and think we all would be better off if we stopped with the party politics crap and got back to what actually made this country great.

Absolutely no disrespect intended and I suspect you are joking.....but yes you are wrong.
 
Hmmmm, maybe I'll just apportion blame: (thinking out aloud - The Internet:crash: / Web:fight: :rolleyes:

Fascism is a left-leaning political philosophy? Define "left" from your perspective because it sure doesn't fit with mine (I hate these fucking labels anyway) when you consider this definition from Webster:

a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

If that's left, I shudder to think what is to the right of it. :eek:
 
Yes, Conservative media/groups influences extremism. It's not like al Qaeda is a Liberal islamic group. Or has Fox News already painted al Queda as "Liberal Extremists"?

Conservative voters from the present conservative base--the heartland, the bible belt--are not the "smartest" group of people ever assembled....

The GOP has splintered into 2 factions. The Pro-Business faction and the Pro-Christianity Faction. Dubya united these 2 groups (and betrayed them, according to them). There isn't a GOP candidate around that can unite the two.

Mitt Romney has the Pro-Business vote but not the Pro-Christianity vote (how's that for hypocrisy?)
Sarah Palin has the Pro-Christianity vote but not the Pro-Business vote.
John McCain had the Pro-Business but not the Pro-Christianity
Newt Gingrich has Pro-Business, not Pro-Christianity

Rush has support from both camps. Not that he has any qualification, mind you. Maybe he really is the face of the new GOP?

I've noticed that the Wall St Journal is becoming more and more openly "Christian" in its editorial and content...

Well technically he's correct, practically he's not. This is the problem with conflating terms like democrat, liberal and left. And republican, conservative and right.

The origins of political "left" and "right" have to do with the French Estates Generals when members of the Third Estates (nobility, clergy and commoners) formed a custom wherein representatives of the interests of nobility sat to the right of the president and representatives of the interests of commoners sat to the left of the president. The right represented the monarchy while the left represented socialist movements/commoner interest, etc.

So in that technical sense Nazism and it's association to socialism is a leftest concept.

Here's the problem, conservatism is a strict construct of Nazism.

In present day American political lexicon, left and right don't necessarily conform to their classical origins. While the case could be made the right generally serves the interests of the wealthy and the left generally serves the interests of the working class, there is commingling of conservative and liberal ideologies with right and left. The result is people who identify with broader issues than merely those in a cast system are now politically aligned.

Being conservative or liberal on various issues in America has defaulted groups or individuals into being "left" or "right", republican or democrat. Liberals in the form of democrats and republicans have advanced social change with respect to equal rights, individual freedoms and opportunity. Conservatives in the form of democrats and republicans have resisted such changes and have supported such things as nationalism, anti-federal government (interesting juxtaposition), theocratic fundamentalism and status quo.

In the sense that individuals like von Brunn wrap themselves in status quo and in some cases theocratic fundamentalism, they are conservative and by practical extension right wing it American political lexicon.

Re: Is Right-Wing Media Responsible for Right-Wing Violence?

Fuck yea ! Limbah, savage nation, Innanity, Neil Bore-tz, the "hemorrohoid with ears" (Mark Levin), all those fucks on a daily basis advocate right winged violence. Of course they don't just come out and say that they advocate right wing violence, but I can hear it in their voice that they advocate right winged violence.
Wanna hear how it works ?

Well, these right winged media mouthpieces supposedly / allegedly broadcast their right winged programs using a very particular frequency wavelength octave that was developed in the early 60's by engineers / KGB agents whom moonlighted / interned at RADIO USSR. The Octave effect apparently produces an "opiate of the masses" type of effect that stimulates something in the pituitary gland, which, in effect, contributes to the right winged medias' ability to increase the amount of right wing violence.
That's what my cousins' friends' nextdoor neighbor says. :dunno:

Isn't that cool how this right winged radio talk show inspired right wing violence condition can be dispersed by simple manipulation of the digitalia ? :updown: :yahoo:

One cannot help but notice your contempt for anything other than 1952 USSR politiks :D as well as your increasingly (as of late) anti Christian narrative. That being said :

Personally, I can't type for shit but I got a memory like a steel trap . . :1orglaugh and was simply curious :

You once stated that you were raised as a Catholic, IIRC (?)
and if that is correct, at some point in time you -


A. Never believed in any faith whatsoever, but just went along with my folks' program 'cause I didn't wanna make waves and possibly get "excommunicated" (sent away to a secondary home) from my parents home because ; frankly it wasn't all bad at home as a teen, the laundry was done, the carpet was vacuumed, and by golly, mom's culinary talents weren't 1/2 bad either ! :yummie:


B. Decided on your own terms over time and space that you weren't particularly interested in any religious teachings.

C. A collegiate professor in the Psychology, Cultural Anthrop. or Poly Sci. Dept(s) had a profound effect on how you would go on to perceive the universe.

D. You once fell on hard times and ended up . . well . . on the streets, and you ended up getting back up on your feet by an entity sympathetic to the democratic party so you decided that it'd be a life's work "giving back".

E.You were pissed that your former (sorta) Catholic Church would have been so weak that they would go on to allow themselves to be to be acceptant of known gay "child purveyors" who cleverly only posed as righteous catholic priests to be . . . and knowing this, you decided that you had better not remain loyal to a catholic church that clearly was being undermined and infected by a wrath of trojan horses.

F. Other _____________________________________________


You're still on speaking terms with your parents are you ?

I don't believe there IS any "right wing media".........I haven't seen any.......and as far as the lunatics who gun people down....they go beyond the realm of "right wingedness"......no correlation.......NONE.

You are wrong. You are in the shrinking minority, and it is getting tight in here.

I never once heard Hannity etc or Oberman etc going on the air saying Kill jews, blacks, kill abortion doctors simply because they are in direct violation of the FCC and would simply be put off air. Not to say that certian news channels play to their pundits such as Fox and MSNBC. This would be like saying ESPN wamts violance in sports cause they show football, then blaming your kids broken arm on ESPN showing hard hit.

Bottom line

GET A FUCKING BRAIN AND THINK FOR YOURSELF, STOP BEING THE PUPPETS AND START BEING YOUR OWN MASTERS.
