Yeah, I agree that people are pivoting against him too strongly, but think about it. Do we really want a Muslim president? Is that what America needs right now?

 

Why would a president's religion have any relevance to his/her ability to govern the people? In fact many modern Christian beliefs were intrinsically Muslim, furthermore Islam, and Christianity both believe in the same god, they both believe in Jesus, and Moses, the only difference is that Muslims believe in Mohamed. So tell me again the rationale behind your one dimensional-racist ideaology?

 

he was kidding

 

I'm aware, I was trying to provoke others to start a flame war, MrIsNot and I were in on it from the start...

Snowdog like that book bekause it did not just list people from left. not partisand book. Snowdog likes that.

 

Nice to know you're not super duper partisan. I'm moderate left but both parties are becoming such spoiled brats lately especially in congress. Chris Rock made a good point on some HBO Comedy show about how people are focused so much on ideology when they should "BE A FING PERSON!"

 

Anywhoo, my pick is I Am America (And So Can You) by Colbert.

are you joking? look I'm as left-leaning as you probably are, in fact probably moreso, and definitely to the left of most TRFers and especially the SOCN echo chamber circle jerks

 

just because I find bill press annoying doesn't make me an anne coulter fan...press is just the msnbc-brand of "liberal" who has never questioned the government his entire life, and probably hasn't disagreed with a democrat ever, because that's HIS party and they can do no wrong

 

you'll find the same type of people on SOCN who have blind allegiance to the republican party. lefties aren't exempt from being dumb

damn I should've quoted, I didn't realize there was an extra page...

 

my post was in reference to barney rebel suggesting I'd enjoy anne coulter because I don't give a shit about whether or not bill press thinks obama is a jesus figure...

My point is, get a stupid view on both sides and you get a good picture of the "experts" who tell you what to believe.

Here's one that's more your speed. Maybe your middle school even has it on its summer reading list.

Just in case I start wondering if you're SOCN-worthy, I can just read this post of yours and stop wondering.

 

Perhaps this thread is becoming too much about our personal political beliefs and less about the books themselves? I know it's a fine line, but it's most definitely a line. And crossing that line gets this moved to SOCN.

Actually, since there's been a little tangential talk about David Brock (he's behind Media Matters, a liberal advocacy group that is obsessed with Fox News), before his "epiphany" he wrote a very thorough book called The Real Anita Hill, about Justice Clarence Thomas' accuser:

I see why you don't post in SOCN

 

Absolutely.

 

I used to post there all the time, but... well. If it's true you're the new "token Progressive/Liberal" in that big sea of Right-Wingers, then I'm sure you understand the frustration I felt there, and why I now choose not to post in SOCN any more.

Brock now says he was hired to write an intentional "hatchet job" of Anita Hill, and the book isn't the truth.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm a conservative who no longer posts there, because the arguments of those on the left there have devolved into "you must be a racist if you oppose Obama", like it's about the color of his skin and not his policies. If that's the best that side can do, it's kind of pointless being there.

He also says he turned against conservatives because they didn't love his book about Hillary.

 

As for the book on Ms. Hill, well, as they say, are you lying now or were you lying then?

There are a lot of reasons he switched parties, one of which was that he was a gay man who didn't like the republican attitude towards gays... yet he knew a bunch of closeted gay republican politicians.

 

As for the book on Ms. Hill, well, as they say, are you lying now or were you lying then?

 

Yep.

There are many liberal/progressive posters in SOCN now. I'd say things there are more balanced than ever.
