Once an example is shown they will try to discredit the information or the source of the information rather than disprove it (yes there is a difference). It usually comes in a scattershot approach throwing as much bullsh*t at it as possible and hoping that some of it somehow sticks. Also the method of asking for an example. Example is cited and they proceed to fling sh'it like the simians they are until the argument is ground to a halt then ask for another cite and proceed over and over.

I am so f[b][/b]ucking right its scary.

Gimme a break. Read the "About Us". Their whole goal is discrediting any word uddered by anyone they don't like.

Read the article, my point is there. I don't have to hold your hand through it, I don't have the time.

It would be like me citing Ann Coulter's personal diary.

So your problem is that they are outplaying O'Reilly at his own game? Didn't you get pissed when Letterman was unable to do that and had to tell a joke to smack him down.

Does it bother you that I am dancing circles around your logic without even putting any effort into it?

EnB.... I don't think I made it much past the 30's. mostly because it took too long to get anywhere, having to manually afterburn from place to place, iirc.


Now EVE absolutely ROCKED. I sometimes miss my old Thorax cruiser. Nothing like 5 or so rail guns firing off simultaneously to bring a smile to the ears :)

Eve was fun.

I occassionally get the urge to restart my account and take my Armageddon Battleship out and blow the crap out of a pirate base.

Beta tested Eve and it was an absolute steaming pile. Horrible game.

Then tried it a year later and it was a completely different game. Easily enjoyable. Good for those that like space type stuff and are casual MMO~ers. World of Warcraft (especially the asylum guild) is where it is at though.

EVE is my current addiction, they're improving it slowly, oh so slowly.... but the older it gets, the better it gets.

You guys are so desperate for anything anti-O'Reilly that you'll settle for lame **** like this.

You honestly think we NEED more ammo against Bill O'Reilly?

His falafel-themed sex fantasies and his Happy-Holidays killed Jesus tirade are enough to keep me amused for a long time to come.

I don't even bother getting worked up about O'Reilly anymore. I've realized he's nothing but a media-***** who says the most outrageous things possible because they get the highest ratings, not because he necessarily believes them.

Um. Not to be obvious or anything, but isn't attempting to discredit someone's logic about topic A by pointing to other statements about topic B *also* doing exactly what you just said? Aren't you scattershotting BS out there in an attempt to distract the viewer/reader/whatever from the facts at hand?


The point is that in this particular case, O'Reilly's "shtick" was to use facts and logic to argue his point. Letterman's was to make a funny joke. If we're going to catagorize arguments from the left and right in that manner, then I think the point is made quite clearly. Don't you?

Eh? Not following you here.

So I pointed out a logical fallacy in your initial argument, and you respond with *another* one?


Look. I am contributing. I just find it incredibly amusing that whenever Conservatives dare to pull out *gasp* facts to support their arguments, the Liberals sorta roll their eyes, make a big show of joking about it, and claim that the Conservative in question is somehow wrong for daring to argue the point in the first place. Meanwhile, they almost *never* support their own positions with anything more then clever words.


That's the point here. And it's exactly what Letterman did in this case. It's what Galloway did when he appeared before Congress. It's what the majority of all Liberal talking heads do when they discuss virtually any issue. It's all platitudes, assumptions, and rhetoric. And when someone dares to argue using logic and facts, they get slamed for being too argumentative, or too serious, or too biased. After all, we shouldn't actually think about politics. We should just make jokes about it, and the guy with the best sounding one liners is the guy we should follow...


Got it.
