Please be Larry Flynt, please be Larry Flynt, please be Larry Flynt

YES!

Like him or not, you gotta give the old perv a lot of credit for publicly throwing the GOPs hypocracy in it's face. Oh and by the way Freepers and other assorted FOX fans, Flynt has done more for free speech than any of the talking heads you listen to for your daily dose of derp.

Sabyen91: Other than that they have nothing to do with it...

Exactly, now you're getting it. Its a site woned by the news organization that allows people to come in and blog.

And if you've even been to a blog, their is no journalistic neutrality. The whole of a blog is defeated if every headline and content is approved before its posted.

Because if that were the case, blogs wouldn't exist because of the time and cost commitment to approve of everything.

Spanky_McFarksalot: Sabyen91: Not buying your justification that because it is a blog Fox News has no responsibility for the content.

It defeats the purpose of a blog site if you have to approve everything that posted before it gets posted.

Heiniken Beer Sucks!

Is Drew responsible for what what I just said? By leaving that post up, is that an endorsement?

No, because he might own, but I;m allowed to say stupid and innacurate things on it.

/BTW, Heiniken does suck



As far as I'm aware, Fox Nation isn't even user driven content like Fark is. It's a forum run by Fox employees to push their particular brand of politics.

Gary Johnson got in? Could be fun.

Nope. It is content allowed by Fox News as its operator. They have moderators, right? The trash they put out has the seal of approval of Fox News or it wouldn't get published.

Is this the debate thread?

While waiting for it to begin I actually caught the last few minutes of O'Reilly and damned if that blowhard didn't say something reasonable about the 'bag who named his dog Mohammad.

/Even though I think you can name your dog whatever you want.

So are you saying that anyone can make a blog there, and post anything they want, from any political perspective? Because that would be fun.

jso2897: So are you saying that anyone can make a blog there, and post anything they want, from any political perspective? Because that would be fun.

If its an open blog site, sure.

Go post something inaccurate and derogatory about a conservative or republican.

I'd be curious if it gets taken down.

Spanky_McFarksalot: Is Drew responsible for what what I just said? By leaving that post up, is that an endorsement?

Technically, yes. Which is why you have to agree to the Fark terms and conditions when you sign up.

I am sure that has never been tried.

Sabyen91: The trash they put out has the seal of approval of Fox News or it wouldn't get published.

Well, they probably have basic guidlines, like what words can be used and can't be used (like fark does). But having an opinion isn't likley to be something someone would censor.

to the person who wrote this, larry is a liberal smut-peddler. Its their opinion.

Why in your view should that be censored?

The Great EZE: Is this the debate thread?

Is there an internet feed? Who's hosting this thing?

Debate is here:

/finally got one right

DarnoKonrad: The Great EZE: Is this the debate thread?

I think it's streaming on youtube. It's on FOX News, which means:

"Candidate 1: Your campaign has all the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?"
"Candidate 2: Same question."
"Candidate 3: How much do you hate Barack Obama? Please state your answer in the form of dog whistle rhetoric."

You actually believe they don't censor anything that isn't slanted to the right?

/I am not sure if you are naive or in the bag.

I forget: Is Cain's plan for a $9 pizza with 9 toppings with a 9-liter Coke thrown in?

Sabyen91: You actually believe they don't censor anything that isn't slanted to the right?

I have no idea, neither do you. You just assume they do.

I do know that you seem to to want them to censor opinions you don't like.

Why the hate on liberals? What did they do?

"For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves"

HellRaisingHoosier: Why the hate on liberals? What did they do?

because derp.

/herpa derpa, derp derp de derp.

Reagan was a supporter of JFK, plus see his take on taxes:

JFK (new window)

No Democrats are JFK liberal anymore.

HellRaisingHoosier: Why the hate on liberals? What did they do?

And what's wrong with peddling smut? Doesn't it create jobs?

DarnoKonrad: The Great EZE: Is this the debate thread?

Apparently, we don't rate a thread tonight. I just flipped over, and it's freaking painful to watch/listen to online. I think it's being filmed by a high school AV club.

They do have one cool thing that should be worked into all debates: if one candidate mentions another by name, everyone drinks.

Spanky_McFarksalot: Sabyen91: You actually believe they don't censor anything that isn't slanted to the right?

I think it is an excellent assumption.

Why can't fark have a live debate thread?


/parry 2012

spaten: No Democrats are JFK liberal anymore.

I see JFK as pretty right-wing, in terms of what he actually accomplished. But then again, at this point, the political debate has been drug so far to the right in this country at this point that I consider myself a Socialist.

Parry vs. Romney in a tub of jello, live on FOX!!!!!!

Oh, it's on now. Jack Johnson versus John Jackson! Knock down, drag-out.

Larry Flynt, okay, let's check.

Liberal: Accurate

Smut Peddler: Accurate

Offering Cash: Accurate

for Perry Dirt: Accurate

I'm sorry if 100% accurate information bothers you.

You would be spitting blood and fire if the Koch brothers were offering up cash rewards for dirt on Democrats, so take your whining and find a better cause.

fritton: cato113: Once again, Fox Nation ≠Fox News

Once again, considering they are supported, hosted and vigorously promoted by them.. somehow your distinction is supposed to make a difference.

I would argue the difference is that Fox Nation is not held to the same standards as Fox News

randomjsa: Larry Flynt, okay, let's check.

Liberal: Accurate

Smut Peddler: Accurate

randomjsa meet mediablitz.

mediablitz: martissimo: To be fair, Larry Flynt is a "liberal smut peddler", heck I bet that if you asked him he wouldn't mind that description of himself

So why didn't they list Perry as "Conservative murderer of innocent men"?

999 dust

Because they choose to be. It is the same people.

What's the offer?

The Cock Bros aint that hip dude.

martissimo: To be fair, Larry Flynt is a "liberal smut peddler", heck I bet that if you asked him he wouldn't mind that description of himself

And a better choice for president than Rick Perry.

I see JFK as pretty right-wing, in terms of what he actually accomplished. But then again, at this point, the political debate has been drug so far to the right in this country at this point that I consider myself a Socialist.

I would suggest you read Hayek and Keynes. Keynes never supported deficit spending in a recession. You are probably less socialist then you think. Reagan was a Keynsian.

The BS from the Left is going full retard as has been the BS from the right.

Gingrich is actually the only sane one allowed to talk.

Well, I checked it out - I was able to register to post in their comments, but I couldn't find any way to post your own blog. I don't think that their blogs are authored by random, self-selected people. In fact, I'm starting to think you've been pulling my leg, Spankie.

spaten: Keynes never supported deficit spending in a recession.

Wow.

Larry Flynt is a goddam American hero. And that's entirely separate from his porn business.

Smut Peddler Offering Cash for Perry Dirt

Creating smut is easy for Joe McGinniss.

randomjsa: Larry Flynt, okay, let's check.

Liberal: Accurate

Smut Peddler: Accurate

Offering Cash: Accurate

Fail. I don't see anyone here whining that this is being unfair to Mr. Flynt.

take your poutrage and kindly shove it.

Romney says bigger class-sizes!

Parry is laying some serious pipe into that Romnian.

I'm calling this the debate thread. And Rick Perry is scarily shallow.

Oh, and Bachmann, just because your vagina is a clown car doesn't mean you know shiat about education!

spaten: I would suggest you read Hayek and Keynes. Keynes never supported deficit spending in a recession. You are probably less socialist then you think. Reagan was a Keynsian.

I was thinking more in terms of social programs -single payer healthcare, a social safety net, etc- as far as my politician stance goes, as I stand well to the Left of any politician on the national stage.

But I'm curious: when did Keynsian economics become Socialist economics?
