Considering what an obvious and massively demonstrated danger they are to equality and democracy, as can be seen here in Trump and in other places such as Russia, Rwanda, North Korea, . . . with literally every foul dictatorial gangster style of government, anyone who is willing to risk the media being able to lie with impunity is either a total idiot or someone who favors that kind of gangster governance or at least values egalitarian democracy less than what THEY can get for themselves through the Warren Court through Roberts Court enablement of liars. Unfortunately, either through training or calculation that includes even otherwise admirable members of the media.
I don't trust even liberals who are in favor of letting the media lie with impunity, they're either idiots or they're unreliable liberals who fall into that latter category. I certainly don't trust right-wingers who favor lies they are all in favor of some level of gangster-oligarchic governance.
Now, whine as to how my choice to not publish your comment violates your "freedom of speech" go do it loudly and lyingly somewhere else.
You fancy yourself far too influential. You cannot prohibit my freedom to speak my mind, as even if you don’t publish it on your blog, you cannot do anything to censor me anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteBut, Tony Two Times, as I have to explain this again, your views on prohibiting speech are inchoate and dangerous because they generally revolve around prohibiting things you don’t agree with under the cover of calling them untrue. You have, thank the good God, no power to restrict speech, though Lord knows you would if you had the authority.
This is why your ravings about free speech and the press’s dishonesty carries no weight: You apply the term “untrue” to things that are not, just as you label me “misogynist” and “racist” because I offered criticism of an unfunny, racist comedienne who happens to be a black woman.
I should note your sense of humor seems to be based on whether you agree with their sociopolitical views, otherwise you dismiss them outright. When your girlfriend Michelle Wolfe’s show got canceled, the conservative actor James Woods joked on Twitter that her show “was aborted.” Based on her tasteless sketch on the issue, that is funny. That you don’t find it so means you simply don't like conservatives. Her sketch wasn’t funny because if you played her comments over images of the aborted, it would be about as amusing as your pictures of the ravages of alcohol.
Now, when Wolfe said, at the WHCD, that the press likes “breaking news” and then said, “Well, congrats, because you broke it.” THAT was funny.
What I wrote about Warren is 100% accurate per Sen. Warren. You don’t like it because it 1) makes her look bad, 2) gives ammunition to her critics and 3) shows how even the most ardent liberal doesn’t buy into this “privilege” and “appropriation” bullshit.
You don’t want to publish it on your blog? Please, that doesn’t make my words any less untrue. Plus other, more prominent voices in the media have already made it quite public.
The only reason many conservatives I know are still supporting Trump is because they’re terrified of what uber, amoral liberals like yourself would do if you came into power. The sooner people like you realize that the quicker we can get Trump out of office.
PS - Let's give the press credit, liars like Diana Price are not given a prominent place in the media, because half-truths and whole lies occasionally are filtered from the AP. The system works, sometimes! Which is what can be said for many.
You done with your catalog of racist and sexist resentments? I had to look up who Michelle Wolfe, according to you "my girlfriend" is because I didn't remember. I did a search of my blog and I can't find that I ever wrote about her, I don't watch the geek prom so I didn't remember she was the one who mocked Sarah Huckabee's eye makeup.
DeleteOh, what lies do you claim Diana Price told, list them with references as to where she lied them because every single thing I've checked in her citations proves she is an unusually accurate scholar.
As to the rest of it, you are a racist and a misogynist and I'm under no obligation to publish anything you try to post here if I don't choose to.
The only speech I've ever advocated suppressing is lies and images of pornography that harm people and animals. If they want to draw pictures, I might think it's dangerous because it leads to degrading attitudes such as the one you display but I would be reluctant to call for its banning, only its targeting for condemnation.
OK, I found something because I dropped the "e" from her last name, I did write about her. Here's from what I said.
DeleteNever heard of Michelle Wolf before, haven't heard her yet, didn't think anything I read she said at the Correspondents Dinner was funny - maybe her comedy is a matter of timing? I'll listen to it when I have time - but I can say that I'm a fan. I'm a fan because she brutally put the disaster of the Trump regime and the regularization of lies and misogyny and bigotry and degeneracy which is the power structure in the United States in the face of some of those who are most responsible for driving the country into this state of degeneracy and decadence, the American media, the most powerful figures in it.

Clearly it didn't make much of an impression on me since I didn't recognize the name and had to ask someone who she is. Needless to say, she's not my "girlfriend" everyone knows that's Amber Ruffin.
