[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah for someone preaching the need to consider multiple viewpoints and the value of open mindedness, you sound like both a hypocrite and an a--hole.[/quote]

Hey mom, get off DCUM.  Fox is on.[/quote]

Wanna bet that I'm smarter than you? We should have a contest. [/quote]

It is not a contest.  It is not about who is smarter.  The issue is engaging in thoughtful, deliberate dialogue about important matters.  Fox robs its viewers of this critical thinking capability.  So instead, they say things like, "Hey, wanna bet I am smarter? Want a contest?"[/quote]

Can't even think of an appropriate smartness contest. Well that was over much more quickly than I expected! Feels good to win.

PS - if you think you're getting "thoughtful, deliberate dialogue" from any comparable liberal (MSNBC) or centrist (CNN) mass media source you are kidding yourself. God forbid you think you're getting that from Democracy Now. The issue with most libs is they don't like the viewpoints on Fox, which is fine, but just say so and stop dressing it up it BS due process explanations. If you want to point to CSPAN or NPR or something, OK, sure, that's somewhat better (though still wildly imbalanced) but in no way comparable to Fox. It's like saying chicken is better than beef because coq au vin is preferable to beef jerky.[/quote]

There are some conservative posters who make thoughtful points and articulate their values.

Above poster is the opposite of that.

Really, a smartness contest?  Are you a five year old?[/quote]

Thank you.  I agree, and have a lot of respect for my Republican friends who are whip smart and challenge me to re-consider my politics when we have great discussions.  They are articulate, informed, and gracious with those who disagree with them.  Not one has ever challenged me to a "smartness" contest.  :-)[/quote]
