  • If there is such a liberal media bias...
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

“Is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of other people and walk off with the money, or is that somehow a little bit of a flawed system?"

I don't remember it. The beauty of socialism is it eventually makes everyone poor, so you don't need to worry about the rich manipulating the system.
Hey Colt, you why I use gotcha tactics? Because there are a lot of suckers out there.

That's a direct quote, word for word, from Newt Gingrich. Not even an old one.....it's from earlier this month.
Notice who was and was not smart enough to catch that? Lars takes any opportunity to type the word socialism and it appears he doesn't even need to read or know the content of the thread to do it.
Newt made a socialist statement, and was called out by many conservatives over it. Not sure why you guys think you pulled one over on me.
:facepalm:

Worst.reaction.at.getting.owned.ever.

Yeah, he was called out by conservatives so much you didn't even know he said it.
Newt made a socialist attack on Romney, and got drilled for it. It doesn't matter if someone has an R or D by their name, a socialist statement is a socialist statement. This is difficult for you to comprehend, because you bow at the alter of the D. (unless you reverse your basic philosophy 180 degrees and support a guy who wants to dismantle our entitlement programs)

Drilled so hard that you had no clue about the statement being made. Yeah, absolutely nailed to the wall.

"We're disappointed" with the line of criticism, said Thomas Donohue, the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The business group doesn't endorse in presidential campaigns, but Donohue said: "We think Romney has had a pretty good track record. Perfect? Hell no, but damn good."

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who ran against Romney four years ago, wrote in an online letter: "It's surprising to see so many Republicans embrace that left-wing argument against capitalism." And another 2008 foe, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, told Fox News Channel: "I'm shocked at what they are doing. I'm going to say it's ignorant. Dumb. It's building something we should be fighting -- ignorance of the American

brum, I have a question for you. Why would the liberal media point out Newt's comment? In order to do so, wouldn't they either have to imply that there is something wrong with his statement or actually agree with him? A liberal wouldn't be inclined to do either of those choices, which is likely why his comments were ignored by the media, which is mostly liberal.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

Funny how you are frantically googling responses now to a statement that you never knew was made. :owned:

Exactly. But a few prominent Repubs called Newt out. Brum just doesn't get it...

:facepalm: There's nothing to reconcile. I evaluate statements on their own merit, irregardless of who said them. I don't worship at the alter of R's or D's, which is what you find so difficult to understand.

Honestly I don't see what the big deal is if she DID spend that much. I am not stupid, I understand it will be exploited by their opponents. I just think it is stupid for people to latch on it. Hey guess what rich people spend a lot of money on shit. I think it is ridiculous for people to expect people that are multi-millionaires to live like they are middle class. I mean I would hope I wouldn't just be stupid and blow all my money but I can guarantee I would be living a different lifestyle than I am now and so would all of you.
I would agree with this. But she is also in a very high profile position and would/should watch how the public/media views her actions due to the economic climate that we are in. I honestly dont care how she spends her own money but I do care how the current administration spend mine. What does this say about our media? Were they really reporting on what designer made the dress (or pants suit ;) that Hillary Clinton or Laura Bush were wearing to certain events? Maybe I just wasnt paying as much attention back then but I sure dont remember the media being gossipers and fashion guru's back then. Did I miss all the hype with our past couple of first ladies?

Not to defned Brum, but you are asking the wrong question. The question you should be yourself yourself is why did the conservative media NOT jump all over the comment?

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

Not sure where you get that but I definitely saw it covered by conservative leaning outlets

the "conservative media"....who the hell is that eel? I know for a fact that Beck covered it extensively, as well as just about every other liberal comment from Newt, and I would be willing to bet just about anything that Limbaugh covered it. My point is simple Eel...the media itself is the "liberal media"...they are one in the same, so of course this comment wasn't covered outside of the above reference outlets.

I think some of the conservative commentators backed off the story because they Newt represents an alternative to Romney. Now Newt is going after the blue collar vote using class warfare. Ironic that he calls Mitt "Obama-light".
