| Fist Dap Truthout |
One of the things I've learned is there more than a whiff of hypocrisy in Right Wing Land. For example, their underwear is all in a knot over The City of Huntsville Joins the Fight For Secrecy, at the same time they defend republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney fight for secrecy
Another thing I learned is they don't like to be questioned, or to back up their assertions with facts. For example, they say the high unemployment is because the democratic controlled Senate refused to pass 30 jobs bills passed by the republican controlled house. When you ask what 30 bills they either say "look it up" or resort to name calling, personal attacks and insults. Then when you call them out, they call it whining.
I learned they are school yard Bullies, who try and intimidate those who dare question them, or have an opposing point of view.
I learned they believe so called independent voters are stupid.
The last thing I've learned is they more interested in doing what's right, pun intended, than being right. It's all about winning elections. It's not about governing.
What if there were a great debate concerning the future of American Society and only one side showed up?

Is conversing on Attack Machine much different than LiA?
Hmmm...
I don't know if we can influence the right-wingers. Aside from their disregard for facts (which they believe have 2-sides, as insane as that sounds), they are banding together in that big right-wing echo chamber which reinforces their psychological inclinations - and not the "better angels" but the darker, more sinister natures of self.
When the open-minded and curious visit "Redeye's Front Page" and are informed, intrigued, recognize kindred spirits, or discover truths, this is where we (you) have a chance to positively influence and make a difference.
Dull Jackson (and others) have something to sell and a way to make a buck - "we" have a different goal.
"Is conversing on Attack Machine much different than LiA?"
In some ways yes, because I get to debunk a lot of the misinformation and present the other side.
In some ways no, because I'm still accused of being obsessed with race, and of making those who disagree with me feel like they are a racist. :)
