How could the anti-Muslim people have won when we just re-elected one?

Lionel Mandrake: Why do Republicans hate America?

Because they lost to a black guy.

I know you're all going to yell at me, and I'm not coming back to this thread to read it. Has anyone actually read or listened to Pam Geller? She is absolutely outspoken against jihadists - Muslims who commit acts of violence and subjugation, both against other cultures and against their own. She does not hate all Muslims, and has said so many times. Before ranting against anyone please understand their views.

namatad: neilio42: Is this the thread where we say tolerance and acceptance are good qualities and then wish death upon people?DEATH TO ALL INTOLERANT PEOPLE !!@@!#!@#!@#



"There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch."

Salon does a better job of implying all liberals must think Islam is a force for super niceness than Fox does of implying all Muslims want to asplode your babies. Drives me nuts.

Cool!
They can just join the trendy and chic anti-semitism that's all over University campuses these days. More derp to the party.

Is this the thread where we say tolerance and acceptance are good qualities and then wish death upon people?

So, now the Fark libby athiests are now religeous. I get it.

somedude210: If only we had made it a requirement when we gave the rights to the TV wavelengths, that all channels had to show 1 hour of non-commercialized news. Imagine what life could've been like....

Hell, I don't know a single person in my general age group (mid-to-late 20s) who regularly watches TV news; be it a nightly newscast on the broadcast networks or any of the cable news channels.

Now, plenty of those "cool" bloggers, "edgy" podcasts, and other examples of these hip alternative media outlets (which I read/listen to myself) have their own biases and faults, but I'm pretty sure generation Y at least is largely unaffected by mainstream talking points.

r the controversy over the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, which mushroomed into a national crisis after blogger Pam Geller captured the media's attention despite having a tiny audience and a propensity to compare Muslim-tolerant Jews to Nazi sympathizers or suggest that critical journalists are training to be suicide bombers. If the media hadn't paid attention to them, would they have mattered?

So what can be done to break this feedback loop?

The media could actually do their jobs and report on what people do and say. Rather than refer to Pamela geller as an "anti-jihad blogger" (oh how goddamn brave you are), or a "conservative activist", she could be described as someone who compares her opponents to Nazis and who thinks Obama is Malcolm X's son.

Michele Bachmann could be referred to as the woman who thinks most liberal organizations should be investigated for anti-American activities, rather than "conservative firebrand" or "congressional ally to the Tea Party movement".

Stop treating everything like "he said-she said" and do your jobs.
