We say that the media is way left biased
They say the media is way right biased
They say we are all idiots
We rightly say they are the idiots
So who is right ????
I think that the difference can be determined by the far more openmindedness of the people here at freerepublic
If a DU poster wanted to have a respectful and sensible debate here on freerepublic, we would debate them. And though they may have to wear asbestos underwear, they probably would NOT get banned suspended or otherwise thrown off freerepublic UNLESS they became a disrupter.
But try to have a debate over at DU(h) and you're history at light speed. Also I never ever see ANY facts to support any claims they make about ANYTHING. At best you will get some clymer communist professors unsubstaniated hypocritical ravings about whatever hate America hate Bush hate freedom topic they happen to be discussing at the time.
To me ... they are so hopelessly absorbed with themselves that they cannot hear anything that is not condoned, blessed, annointed, or approved by their masters ... the elitist denisons of the far left ivory towers. It would be like trying to talk with someone from an other universe or dimension. So why bother ....
I've never seen a lib anywhere use facts to support an argument. I've seen them use lies, innuendo, jealousy, and insults but never facts.
Looking at the conservatives, you could say that they are "mean" because they won't let people have their way but they don't misrepresent the facts.
At FR, you can assert whatever the heck you want- but you must be prepared to back it up with facts and logic. Over there, you can only assert certain ideas, and they are never buttressed with either fact or logic.
Indeed it is this lack of a willingness to debate facts that has given the left the deserved monikers they so despise...
No facts, no logic, just emotion.
They will attempt to persuade using emotion alone- and in a debate they just fall flat. It makes them so angry that they haven't yet learned why they promote the agenda they've been told to promote.
With brains like theirs (or is it a single collective brain...morg?), I'm happy I don't fit it with them!
