Try door #3... I don't know. That is actually more true than either side...in my opinion.  Must be a really old-school value to keep your mouth shut, or qualify your thoughts as opinions, until or unless you know what you're talking about. I think that was called "integrity". Similarly, anyone who does nothing but criticize without being willing to take a position by which he can be held accountable for, is nothing more than a no account.Sounds like a troll we all (unfortunately) know... |

Will you please give me examples of right-wing nutjobs? David Duke, That guy from Westboro Baptist Church Wally George The thing is, right-wing nutjobs (and the gentlemen above amply qualify) are universally condemned by about 90% of all conservative voters (if they've even heard of them), are shunned by the Republican Party, and wield virtually no influence on public policy; whereas left-wing nutjobs host prime time cable shows on CNN and MSNBC, write for the NYT and WaPo, sit in the U.S. House of Representatives, and populate the faculties of almost every college and university in America. |

I forgot about Wally George. If I remember correctly, I liked him. |

Sure...like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Dan Bongino, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter and many others are shunned...it's Holy Week Credo, perhaps you should at least try to be honest.

I watched him and I liked his antics, but it was more for entertainment than conservative politics. |

Credo is completely honest here, he pointed out what or whom would be considered a "nut job" politically speaking when one is so far on the fringe that an overwhelming number of not only the entire political spectrum would consider but that same side of the spectrum going as far as saying 90% in this instance (conservatives) would condemn those mentioned above. Yet here we have not much more than a contributing troll claiming that is not an honest assessment. It is actually spot on. What is however a DISHONEST assessment is made by the contributing troll that these names are nut jobs, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Dan Bongino, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter. So we are to believe that by this trolls assessment that the number #1 radio talk show host in HISTORY is a nut job by definition. Limbaugh has won 5 Marconi Awards, is in the National Radio Hall of Fame and the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. During the 2020 State of the Union Address, President Donald Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. These three awards would not be earned by any nut job in the least respect. The others you mentioned for the most part are also some of the most successful people in media and if they were nut jobs then rating like this would tell us the country is simply gone mad.... and with numbers like this, they surely are not nuts yet mainstream or part of the mainstream as they have the majority of viewers. Just maybe, the contributing troll here is actually the real definition of "NUTJOB"? Fox News Channel ratings for first quarter of 2020 are the highest in network history

The cool thing about being a nut job is the self awareness that comes with knowing that at any given time, half the people you're talking to believe that's what you are.
I got comfortable with that concept in my first real job as a 16 year old umpiring my first 8-9 game at the City of Lakewood parks and rec. Half the people cheered me, and the other half booed.

Everyone the resident troll doesn’t like is a nut job, present company included. Exactly. SK80 ably answered our Troll as to the mainstream status of those he wishes to tar as nutjobs. To liberals, anyone to the left of a squish like John Kasich is an "extreme" right-winger, which would effectively apply to close to half the nation--an utterly irrational perspective. Notice his other Pavlovian habit of regarding differences of opinion as examples of "dishonesty." I have repeatedly challenged him to provide just one example of a "lie" (not a difference of opinion) that I have asserted in the nearly 3,000 posts I have made on this forum. He cannot do it. This bad faith tactic--which is shared by many of the commentators on CNN and MSNBC--is one of the answers to the subject of this thread and also the main reason I've blocked his posts since November; I only see ones like the one I reference here when it is quoted by another member. These occasional glimpses into his thinking (so-called) remind me of the wisdom of blocking him. |
