As if FLAKESnews Faux Fact Flingers aren't bad enough on TV.
"Two foundations that have been described as "the dark money ATM of the right" have spent more than $1 million combined funding a non-profit organization whose primary function is distributing libertarian education materials featuring Fox Business host John Stossel. "
Isn't the dark money allowed by Citizens United wonderful?
Stossel in the Classroom
The man is a known liar.
It's bad enough I have to cut through shit now with my kid. Get the known liar and spinner out of the classrooms.
How can promoting FLAKESnews qualify as a non profit?
This has to be some of the darkest money out there.

Libe(R)tarians............again.
Can I call them neolibe(R)tarians?
You can call them anything you want.
After hearing Chomsky describe the difference between classic libertarians and today's Koch brothers corporate, Randian version, for the sake of clarity, I will stick to neolib(R)tarians, and I think he would agree.
Looking at how much effort that they spend trying to disrupt the forum-----I'll just call 'em douche bags.
They have been busy little bees these last few days, haven't they.
Fucking douche bags..........LOL
Oldboy, just made a threat to return to his "old ways".
Like he ever really stopped.
He didn't change shit. He and his little crew are all pieces of shit. Little political whores.
The only thing that they have managed to prove is that if they were bought once then they can be bought again.
There were many actual issues at the top of the comments before they began their assault on reason.
Well, that's the whole point. Isn't it? If there is a thread that has potential then they come scurrying like cockroaches into a thread where they can make sure that no actual conversation takes place. Or they start an entire thread where they can have a faux argument or pretend that they have this wonderful idea that they want to learn all about.
There still are actual issues at the top of the comments I'm ready to carry on if you are.
I'm more that willing to try................:)
I'll be in and out of here all day though.
Silly old life.
I know, right? Same here. I have to hunt down stuff to build a revolutionary war fort-miniature version.
4 toothpicks glued together make a fine beam.
Ok, thanks.
Popsicle sticks for the wall and gate house and tooth picks for the smaller buildings/structures/emplacements?
I'm too late for the popsicle sticks.
Diorama's Oh boy..............:)
Do they still sell big bags of popsicle sticks at the craft stores?
Ya, I have a gazillian little wood sticks that are smaller than popsicle sticks. I was trying to figure out how to scale something down but, we are just going to have to wing it.
Isn't "cutting through shit" with your kid is called being a parent? My folks did it back in the '70's, and their folks did it way back in the day. I hope you are "cutting through shit" no matter who is slinging it at your kids.
Obviously, What I did not expect is the number of jack asses that would be using insidious methods to get to my kid.
24/7/365 the insidious attacks on youth and society in general - continue.
Yep. They talk a good game of freedom and independent thinking----they don't mean it.
No of course they don't - it is a display of double speak - Like :
Right to work = Right to fire you for no cause.
When they express independent thinking - they mean independent of thought.
Good afternoon Batman..........:)
How are you feeling today?
Hey G-Day Silver-Surfer - Me? - able to sit-up and take nourishment. {:-])
On top of being insulted behind our backs last night, we were also described as Batman and Robin.
You got to be the Caped Crusader. I got to be your sidekick the Robin.
I would have preferred to be Quick Draw McGraw.
---------El KaBong!----------
Se' quicksdraw - andele andele ariba ariba .......................... EEEHAaaaaa
Yep. Exactly.
When is the major portion of the general public gonna catch on? This shit they try to spew/spin here is the same spewage that goes out over MSM.
[Removed]
It figures. The communist shooz is outraged by the view that less government, lower taxes, and less regulation is a good idea. He much prefers government controlling our lives like the fucking mindless sheep he and his followers are. "Please dear leader...hand me another welfare check."
BAAAAAA.
Teabagge(R)s raised my taxes, so go puck a rubber.
Shoozy, my little dumbell friend, I think you are a bit confused asshole. Obama DEMANDED taxes be raised...and now he wants more. Time to wake up from fantasyland little snoozy snoozerton
Was that you pucking a rubber?
I hope it felt good for you.
oh...good reply. Next time try..."I know you are, but what am I". That would be a huge step up in your intelligence level.
Loooooozer.
So it felt good then?
Excelsior!!
Hey all smelly commie hippies here! Shoozy says Republicans want to raise taxes on everyone. Yep yep.....Witness the genius of shooz. His ignorance on display for all to marvel at.
Next post for the shoozy..... Republicans support Global warming efforts.
What do know, you finally got something correctly.
Tabagge(R)s raised my taxes under the guise of (R)epelicantism.
And yes, (R)epelican'ts do support global warming through many of their policies.
Liberals own and operate NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, NPR, Hollywood, and the TV industry. But poor shooz is still frightened of a single differing opinion of FOX News, and thinks they must be stopped. Just like a true liberals. They want to Shut down any opposition to their point of view.
All those other networks okay with you shoozy? I thought so.
Go fuck yourself you book burning NAZI.
How cool is that? You had to create another ID just to be a dickhead.
Lies are not a differing opinion.
I thought you said I was a commie?
FLAKESnews does one thing and one thing alone.
It makes flakes even flakier.
Thanks for proving that....................:)
