Its ONLY going to get worse.
Sometimes I am a little frightened about the stuff that is posted and taken seriously. I think there are some folks on FR that are just as crazy as Joe.
But...it is the week before an election. And the week of Halloween. The crazy in the air is palatable. I chose to sit back and mock it.
“I chose to sit back and mock it.”
I’ll call them on their abject hypocrisy.
It’s disheartening to see what this forum has become. It started as a smallish group of erudite conservatives seeking enlightened discussion of the events of the day.
It has become an extension of the Gateway Pundit, not content with the bland realities of political discourse.
Any headline that confirms bias makes it to Breaking News, no matter how poorly sourced.
“I think there are some folks on FR that are just as crazy as Joe.”
And they react the same way if you disagree with them. Not like the old days. Or, at least, much more common.
The diary, whether real or not, seems a bit over the line. No way to stop it now, but unless she released it deliberately, the ethics of using that are so tainted that I am loath to interact. I can’t really explain why it’s different from Hunter’s hard drive except that Hunter was a willing participant and perpetrator, IMO, rather than a victim. But even with Hunter it’s about the political corruption more than the other stuff. Should he get a pass on the rest? No. But let’s get him on the bribery, extortion etc., for now. The rest comes later (if we can’t get him on the political corruption, we aren’t likely to get him on the other stuff, either, IMO).
“The crazy in the air is palatable.”
I do not enjoy the *taste* of crazy ( ;-) ). But you can definitely *feel* it.
