It's the same with everybody who posts links and you just happen TO POST THE MOST LINKS. Who cares? It's not a big deal. It's not an attack. My goodness.

Leftists seem to have this mistaken idea that conservatives simply get their ideas from Fox and regurgitate right-wing talking points. I would estimate that I have watched Fox somewhere between 2 and 5 hours in the last year, but I get that response to posts all the time. I have made very few, if any, posts that I would not have said the same thing in the 1980s, when there was no Fox News and I had never heard of Sean Hannity. Like OO, in response to statements that I got something from right wing media, I am prone to respond, no, they got that idea from me.

An interesting accusation in that this whole thing started with Tanq (not a leftist... or is he?) accusing me of getting my ideas from MSNBC and regurgitating left-wing talking points.

As far as my expectations of better discourse from the left, that used to happen occasionally, but ever since "Orange Man Bad," that really has not been the case. And in the case of you, never.

As far as my expectations of discourse from the right on this forum, you have definitely surprised me but not in ways that I had anticipated.
