They make a good point about the news organization setting up gala dinners to honor some of the people they report on. That's just dumb. It's just as dumb if Boston Herald decided to hold a dinner honor Scott Brown, or if the Boston Globe held a dinner to honor Elizabeth Warren.

inkblot: I find it hilarious that they're throwing a party for 4 politicians, while going out of the way to look neutral about it.

As long as they're doing it, I suppose it's the only fair way to do it. But you're right - it's got that Fox Newsish artificial balance feel to it.

Paul Ryan has no honor...

Ahh, Daily Kos, the Liberal equivalent of WND

Philip Francis Queeg: cman: Ahh, Daily Kos, the Liberal equivalent of WND

Wow, a false equivalence in response to a column complaining about false equivalence. How very meta.

Are you trying to tell me that the Daily Kos is not highly Liberal?

cman: Are you trying to tell me that the Daily Kos is not highly Liberal?

Oh, they're pretty liberal and partisan... What they are not is bat shiat insane and consumed by conspiracy theories like the folks over a WND.

Are they still pushing the "Obama's not a citizen" bullshiat?

Yes, because Kos will never push batshiat insane theories....oh wait. Link (new window)

You didn't answer the question...

I am sick of this.

If you want to stay exclusively within your Liberal circle jerk, go ahead.

But be advised that Daily Kos is as much as partisan as WND.

Hay guize, is this the thread about how The Daily KOS (Keith Olbermann Show) is a Liberal hivemind that believes the most redonkulous stuff EVAR?

I think cman just divided by zero

Peter von Nostrand: I think cman just divided by zero

No, I think I should have just stuck with my regular point that Kos is as partisan as WND and let it be that.

Nobody is arguing that Kos isn't partisan you dolt. It is just comparing them is like comparing a man just walking down the street with the guy that is is holding "The end is near" sign. It's a stupid comparison.

I don't think anyone said it wasn't... In fact, I explicitly said it was a partisan liberal site.

However, if you think a liberal partisan site is comparable to the nonsense and shameless book plugs that is regularly passed off as "journalism" at WND, perhaps it is you who has spent too much time in an echo chamber of your choosing.

But are they as as as as is?

BSABSVR just isn't getting the traction it used to, is it? Let me see if I have a nanotech violin to pay for you.

No. Both sides are bad so rid yourselves of them. fark the Dems. fark the Republicans.

If you vote for a Republican - any Republican - you are tacitly acknowledging that human rights for homosexuals and women, and a sound understand of evidence-based science are less important than...whatever the hell Republicans stand for now. Tax cuts for the wealthy? Strong defense? "Small" government?

Do individual Republicans have reasonable stances on issues? Sure. Can someone say "my Republican relative doesn't give a damn who gets married to whom," and mean it? Sure. But they obviously don't care enough to not vote for a party that calls homosexuals second-class citizens, denies basic science, and is essentially saying that if you're not Christian (or Jewish, I guess), you're less of a citizen.

That is the official stance of the Republican Party. Whatever your reasons for voting Republican, if you do it, you are a homophobe. Even if you have nothing personally against gays, you have no problem voting for a party that wants to deny basic civil rights to a whole block of people. At least admit you're a bigot.

(No, the Democrats aren't much better, but they are better. And no false equivalences about southern Democrats during the Civil Rights movement. The Democratic Party back then was far more split - a huge portion was against the Civil Rights movement, but a huge portion was for it. There are very few Republican politicians who fall on the right side of the gay marriage issue, and only a very few more who actually trust basic evidence-based science.)
