[Secret Agent Man]

:) you would have got here on your own...

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

Have a good night...

[timestax]

Must be talking about CNNLIES.

[Iowa Slim]

I don’t agree with him on everything, but he’s smart, honest, and brave. He has been calling out the journalism profession over the Russia hoax all along.

[LateBoomer]

Not to mention the buffed and fluffed Boston Bomber kid on the cover.

[Secret Agent Man]

yup

[joma89]

And let’s not forget that the editor of rolling stone magazine is part of the left and describing himself as well.

[Whatever Works]

It’s really quite easy to understand.

Liberals/progressives/democrats give you someone to HATE....someone to BLAME.....a scapegoat (just like Nazi Germany, for example).

Conservatives/OldStyle Republicans give you something to LOVE.....country, family, home.....

It is far easier to HATE than it is to LOVE.

[Fightin Whitey]

ROLLING STONE IS THE AMERICAN LEFT

Hardly. Rolling Stone is the American Left Out.

Rolling Stone is the coffee table mag of the people we saw going to jail for buying their kids' way into college.

Any average university text is far more subversive than Rolling Stone.

[fso301]

The PJMedia article appears to be a form of clickbait in that it cites a blog posting rather than an actual issue of Rolling Stone

[chrisser]

"Now it’s out there. Everything the Right said about the Left and people dismissed, has been proven to be true over the last month or so."

It's interesting. Virtually everything the Right has said about the Left has proved to be true. Conversely, virtually everything the Left says about the Right is a flat-out lie.

Yet the lying Left continues to gain power while the Right cowers.

I see where the term "Clown World" originates.

[Pollster1]

The far left has lost Rolling Stone. I’m impressed. The question is what the swing voters will actually do in the privacy of the voting booth.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Occam’s Razor.

It appears that Taibbi, like Michael Moore and Van Jones, is just one of the handful of Leftists who is smart enough to realize that these events are handing the election to Trump.

[Rummyfan]

Maybe Taibbi has become woke.

[bitt]

p to some semblance of sanity

[Yulee]

The Communist/Socialist/Fascist/Antifa are letting their masks slip.

Their evil is being revealed daily by their actions.

[Atticus]

There are a few honest liberals around. Folks who are respectful of opposing views and who try to defend their ideas, however misguided, with reason and facts rather than the shaming, intimidation and vitriol that has become prevalent. I don’t know whether Taibbi is one of the honest ones. I only skimmed a couple of his pieces (years ago) and when I saw him on TV he appeared smarmy. He really turned me off eight years ago or so when he wrote what I thought was an over the top, scathing hit piece on Mitt Romney. Now that I regret my vote for Romney I may go back and read it in a new light.

'The American Left Has Lost Its Mind’

some semblance of sanity

Sanity? No, some sense that it all isn't going to sit well with voters come election time.
He just wants it tamped down and not so out in the open
Simply reading the writing on the wall, as it were. (Belshazzar's feast)

Note also the actual title of the article...The American Press Is Destroying Itself

...will walk to the Razor voluntarily...

This comment brought back the memory of a book I read many years ago though, sadly, I don't remember the name of it.
Basically, there was a long, tall, curved blade built for killing people. They were pushed from a platform onto the blade and were sliced in two as they traveled down the blade. Some people, like a soldier, volunteered to "ride the razor" to prove their loyalty. They didn't need to be pushed.
I wonder if that is what he is talking about.

[philman_36]

Ah! It was a movie, not a book!
The Long Ships (1964).

"Tourism and Violence" (PAGE 19)

[freedomlover]

You’re making me think of the stoning scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
