Language matters. Little **** like this pisses me off.
Politico's first paragraph on their front page filibuster story:

Quote:Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul staged the longest talking filibuster in recent Senate memory from Wednesday into early Thursday, railing with his colleagues for more than 12 hours against what they called the danger of drone strikes to U.S. citizens on American soil.


Little subtle bullcrap like that. What THEY called. It's marginalizing. It's biased. It's dismissive. F*** you politico, and whatever liberal arts bastion the writer graduated from.

It isn't what THEY called it ... it's what EVERYBODY called it. From Code Pink and Van Jones to Fox News and Hannity to The Blaze and Breitbart to CATO and Reason to Rand himself. It's pretty clear what it was about, even if YOU don't want to hear it Politico because it exposes absolutely ludicrous, toxic, unconstitutional, rights stripping, and DEEPLY UNPOPULAR behavior by the messiah's administration.

Looks like Ohio University, which is a very well known journalsm school. Here is all the info on him. Apparently getting his bio from Politico is too difficult for you.

Yea, Athens is pretty liberal wasteland. And no, I don't care enough about that wasteland to research him.

Bonus points if you find the other subtle tactics in the same article. There's a decently blatant one on page 3.

I don't read Torchy's links. You are correct. I occasionally skip stories from PJ'smedia, WND and NotsoBreitbart posted by other posters but occasionally I do.

Athens, OH is actually a pretty conservative town, and not the liberal bastion you think. Columbus is where all the liberals reside...

BTW, my father graduated from Ohio U., and and was named sportswriter of the year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association in 1977. My mother used to be the secretary for the Ohio U. School of Journalism as well, and was the main reason my father ended up going into journalism. He originally intended to become a forest ranger, which is why we lived on a mountain top in the middle of nowhere...

Razor,

While you degenerate Robs. Have you ever taken a second for a little introspection? How do you think you come off to others? Do you see yourself as a bastion of intellect? Just curious.

By comparison?

I think its pretty clear....at least Razor makes thought out points and drives some discussion.

Rob just posts little sentance jabs and sarcasm and then puts a smiley face at the end.

Of course, it's more subtle and devious than that. If this is a liberal dem on the attack, it's not "railing against what they called the danger..." it's just "railing against the danger..." It's not offered as what ANYBODY called it, it's offered as fact. And it's probably not "railing against" it's "criticizing" or "calling attention to" or whatever. You can do a lot with words.

Finally someone feels my pain. I've been pointing little subtleties out from the radio, tv, and articles for the past couple of years. There's always a condescending dig as if they're relegating his concerns to naivete. Drives me nuts.

I don't degenerate anyone.....I denigrated him for being a completely braindead leftist moron. I do the same to you for a multitude or reasons, not the least of which is that you don't know the difference between degenerate and denigrate.

And trust me, when you make posts as stupid as what you and Toby come up with, it really is easy to point out how stupid you are.

Quite often I have to hold back because if I let you know how stupid you really are, you might cry and leave the site and no one wants that, it's much more fun to point out how wrong you are on a variety of subjects on an almost daily basis.
