Forum Post: Right wing liars and Koch suckers

Shortly after the President was elected there was a rumor going around that guns would be banned. Spin meisters for gun and ammunition manufacturing no doubt had a field day. Just for fun I did a Google, the results are fascinating:

Right wing liars and Koch suckers have no conscience and know no fear of the public.

LEMMINGS -

The PublicMind poll by Farleigh Dickinson University
in New Jersey showed that of all the news channels out there, Fox News viewers are the least informed.

People were asked questions about news habits and current events in a statewide poll of 600 New Jersey residents. Results showed that viewers of Sunday morning news shows were the most informed about current events, while Fox News viewers were the least informed. In fact, FDU poll results showed they were even less informed than those who say they don’t watch any news at all and they were also less likely than any other group analyzed to have forms of higher education. Readers of The New York Times, USA Today and listeners to National Public Radio were better informed about international events than other media outlets.

In one major example, New Jersey poll participants were questioned about the outcome of the so-called Arab Spring uprisings in North Africa earlier in the year. Non-Fox News viewer statistics showed 53% know that Egyptians were successful in overthrowing dictator Mubarak.
48% know that the Syrian uprising has thus far been unsuccessful in ousting Assad. But Fox News viewers showed 37% know that Egyptians overthrew their government 42% know that Syrians have not yet overthrown their government thus suggesting a daily dose of sound bytes from CNN at the gym, and headlines from Google News were enough to surpass what average Fox viewers knew about current events.

“Because of the controls for partisanship, we know these results are not just driven by Republicans or other groups being more likely to watch Fox News,” said Dan Cassino, a professor of political science at Fairleigh Dickinson and an analyst for the PublicMind Poll. “The results clearly prove that there is something about watching Fox News that fundamentally leads people to be mis-informed – even compared to those who don’t watch any news at all.”

This isn't the first study that has found that Fox News viewers more misinformed in comparison to others. Last year, a study from the University of Maryland found that Fox News viewers were more likely to believe lies and false information about politics and world events.

Only a post for those interested in using INTELLECTUAL honesty to review the actual survey questions: http://publicmind.fdu.edu/2011/knowless/ rather than believing in the "spin" used in the report on the actual survey, which is what hit the airwaves.

Note-"spin" is used even in the "official report" written up by Farleigh Dickinson University-just like it was by bensdad above. HOW?

The actual names of the Egyptian and Syrian leaders-"Hosni Mubarak" and "Bashir Al-Assad" were not included in the actual question posed to those surveyed. Nor were they referred to by title or as individuals. the EXACT questions were:

"To the best of your knowledge, have the opposition groups protesting in Egypt been successful in bringing down the regime there"

AND

"How about the opposition groups in Syria? Have they been successful in bringing down the regime there?"

Why does it matter? Because an INFORMED person would know that the removal of Hosni Mubarak alone, would not result in the collapse of "his regime". FACT: Opposition groups in Egypt are STILL fighting TODAY to get rid of the REGIME of which Mubarak was only the HEAD. An informed viewer who KNEW that Mubarak was only the head and start of the process would have answered differently when asked about "the regime" than they would when asked about "the President or "the leader". (Think about it-if President Obama was impeached, or assassinated, or removed from office, average Americans would NOT say that the US Government itself had been overthrown)

In that view, the report skewed the results obtained by the survey. You can't ask one question using certain words, and then report the answers to that question using different words. It's simply dishonest.

[-] 1 points by francismjenkins (3713) 12 years ago

And dangerous. I mean, republicans treat things like "creation science" (a contradiction in terms) as a right. As if teaching our children erroneous pseudoscience should be viewed as a right? This may have worked in a much less enlightened world, but it won't work anymore. We won't be a successful country if half of our citizens are indoctrinated in anti-intellectualism, pseudoscience, etc.

[-] 1 points by ZenDogTroll (13032) from South Burlington, VT 12 years ago

I agree.

And yet they make pseudoscience a matter of policy, and not just with education, but with issues like the health affects of tobacco - as demonstrated by the movie Inside Job; and global warming . . .

[-] 1 points by ZenDogTroll (13032) from South Burlington, VT 12 years ago

the President may have made statements supporting gun legislation in the past, haven't paid close attention.

At one point after he was elected there was some legislation put forward apparently - this comment may shed some light on that aspect, but may be a bit misleading. If the legislation is as that poster said, then it was clearly designed to fail.

The Tea Party was in an uproar over the issue - and they dwelt deeply enough into the paranoid end that the price of ammunition went way up - demand outpaced supply as the fearful began hording.

And as for the tea party . . . .

there is not a repelican candidate qualified to serve the interests of the people. They are not qualified on the basis of their own party policy, ideology, and affiliations.

this whole business of lying for profit is strange - surreal even

But the movie Inside Job makes it clear that conservative repelican attorneys have been at it for decades

beginning with their defense of the tobacco industry . . .

It is hard to reconcile with their obstinate insistence on family values

  • family values

  • lies

completely incongruous, and thus, totally surreal . . . .

[-] 3 points by HitGirl (2263) 12 years ago

Lying for profit surreal? It seems to be almost commonplace in America. Wall Streeters lie to their investors, lenders lie to home buyers and encourage home buyers to lie on their loan applications. The entire financial crises can be blamed on greed and a lack of truth. Surreal? I wish it were surreal but it is all too real.

[-] 3 points by ZenDogTroll (13032) from South Burlington, VT 12 years ago

well, yeah, there is that -

but at some point the result becomes a widespread denial of reality

I don't think that worry is unfounded. It is incredible to me the extent our government is captive to special interests. They are ignoring science in pursuit of short-term gains. When did we become so short-sighted? Maybe it's just a matter of the people in Washington.

So, I'm just curious. Do you ACTUALLY think that because the Repubs say they're all about "family values", that means they really are? How many of them have to choke on those words. Let's just say there are some hypocrites on both sides and some moral people on both sides. Would that be so crazy? Problem is the extreme conservatives love to characterize Dems as "Godless."

  • Jefferson's Manual

    • Manual of Parliamentary Practice for the Use of the Senate of the United States, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1801, is the first American book on parliamentary procedure. As vice-president of the United States, Jefferson served as the Senate's presiding officer from 1797 to 1801. Throughout these four years, Jefferson worked on various texts and, in early 1801, started to assemble them into a single manuscript for the Senate's use. In 1801 he decided to have the manuscript printed.

    • The manual is arranged in fifty-three categories from (1) The Importance of Rules to (53) Impeachment. Each section includes the appropriate rules and practices of the British Parliament along with the applicable texts from the U.S. Constitution and the thirty-two Senate rules that existed in 1801.

  • Parliamentary Procedure or Parliamentary Law

    • Parliamentary procedure is the body of rules, ethics, and customs governing meetings and other operations of clubs, organizations, legislative bodies, and other deliberative assemblies. It is part of the common law originating primarily in the practices of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, from which it derives its name.

    • In the United States, parliamentary procedure is also referred to as parliamentary law, parliamentary practice, legislative procedure, or rules of order. In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other English-speaking countries it is often called chairmanship, chairing, the law of meetings, procedure at meetings, or the conduct of meetings

And here we have another classic example of what exactly, is wrong with the repelican party and a clear demonstration of why, precisely, their reign over American politics is DONE.

Repelicans cannot debate on the issues - the facts do not support them.

Their only recourse is to engage in lies, spin, historical revision, and distortions of reality, it is the only way to get people to support their policy.

It is quite clear -

  • the costs of gas and heating oil - mentioned twice in the list, to fatten this list and increase its prominence - is directly related to three things

    • Peak oil production -

    • geopolitical instability in regions of oil production

    • oil futures speculation

And the health care bill, cited as a bill no one wants - here is a simple, blatant lie. I want it. I know a lot of people who do. In fact, there are so many that do want it it passed Congress -

but go ahead. Lie some more.

Down grading the U.S. economy -

  • REPELICANS managed that, with brinkmanship over the budget debate

but go ahead, and lie to us some more

Much different from a complete ban on weapons, and hardly any reason for the rampant paranoia that swept the ranks of right wing militias and other nimrods, stockpiling ammo in the abject terror that it wasn't going to be available any more . . .

fuckin gun and ammo manufacturers must have been laughing all the way to the bank on that one . . .

I was never worried in the least - I figure 900 rounds is more than enough during any shortage . . ..

Okay. Apparently you have never studied US firearms law. If you recall H.R. 1022, the renewed "assault weapons" ban of a few years ago, the language in it would clearly ban pump hunting shotguns and semiautomatic pistols, not "assault weapons". The only weapons people would be guaranteed to be protected were single shot rifles that need to be completely reloaded after every shot. Bad luck if you miss the attacking bear on the first shot....

So, you can probably see (scratch that, I wouldn't bet on it) why people get nervous when a politician promises to renew the "assault weapons" ban.

As a matter of fact I did miss that legislation - who wrote it?

I mean, seriously - who wrote it?

If it is as you say, then the design of the legislation was to fail - it is hard to insist that such legislation was anything other than intended to fail.

Who wrote it?

[-] 0 points by warbles (164) 12 years ago

To answer your first question, representative Carolyn Mccarthy of New York sponsored the bill in the 110'th congress. To answer your second question, representative Carolyn Mccarthy of New York sponsored the bill. To answer your third question, representative Carolyn Mccarthy of New York sponsored the bill.

It had 67 Co-sponsors in the US house including Rahm Emanuel, who of course became Barack Ocorporate's chief of staff. So you can see why people get nervous when members of the Obama administration promise to ban certain types of weapons.

[-] 1 points by ZenDogTroll (13032) from South Burlington, VT 12 years ago

To sponsor a bill is not necessarily the same as having written it, so I'm not at all clear that you have addressed that point.

Of those 67 co-sponsors - how many had or made investments in the manufacture of munitions . . .

[-] 0 points by warbles (164) 12 years ago

I'm not sure the exact author of the bill is available knowledge. I looked... but using the same argument that Ron Paul wrote the racist newsletters, Carolyn McCarthy and 67 other US Reps wrote the bill since their names are on it. McCarthy has been a proponent of gun control going back to 1997.

well good for her. I'm certain once we finally decide on a national policy regarding recreational substances that actually makes sense we will see an end of 14 year olds purchasing guns off the black market with the proceeds of their drug sales . . . .

[-] 0 points by warbles (164) 12 years ago

Good for her? You mean you do want to ban weapons other than assault weapons? This bill would have banned weapons you probably have. I agree about drug policy.

[-] 1 points by ZenDogTroll (13032) from South Burlington, VT 12 years ago

I would be just as happy to have several varieties of fully automatic machine guns myself. .30 buzz saws and the like.

But we all know I'm insane.

And yes, good for her. She has an opinion, and isn't afraid to voice it - certainly something needs to be done about violence in the inner cities. If the NRA got on board with that simple fact maybe something practical could be accomplished.

Unfortunately the NRA has their policy agenda dictated by the likes of Remington, the company that cannot spend five goddamned cents per weapon to ensure their safety mechanism actually works on the model 700 rifle - which they are providing to the Pentagon under contract.

How about left wing liars and Obama suckers, why are you wasting your time playing these partisan games attacking the republicans when the democrats are just as bad on almost every issue?...Obama is a wall street stooge, the democratic party is a corporate party.....the health care bill is a hand out to corporations, it requires people to buy private health insurance and does nothing to control costs.......democrats these days are just republicans that pretend to stand for working people.....and Obamas foreign policy is just as bad if not worse than the Bush administration......kudos to Bill Maher who called his audience a bunch of brain washed liberals the other night, after they failed to applaud his criticism of Obamas foreign policy

[-] 4 points by ZenDogTroll (13032) from South Burlington, VT 12 years ago

If you examine the NDAA you will find it results from confusion over whether we will treat terrorists as Prisoners of War, or as Criminals. This confusion in fact dates back several years - and if you want to include the Patriot Act as illustration of some of that confusion, then you can say it dates back to September 11, 2001.

The apparent shoulder to shoulder stance of dems with repelicans on this issue is more indicative of the depth of control over the public mind on matters of defense and national security the repelicans wield as opposed to any ideological determination to fuck the public on the part of the dems.

They are just timid, and luke warm on such issues, afraid of public perceptions

It allows the government to bypass due process and you know it. I remember you saying you liked it because you fascists will use it to get "replicates". Should i pull up the quote, mini Obama?

[-] 2 points by ZenDogTroll (13032) from South Burlington, VT 12 years ago

If you have a quote then of me clearly indicating that I like NDAA then yes, I want to see the quote and a link to the original.

It does allow the government to bypass due process - prisoners of war are not granted due process.

I have repeatedly stated that terrorists are criminals, not warriors -

I have also stated that I resent the very idea that terrorists are considered warriors in any way shape or form.

So you go find that little like because I really would like to see it.

No I won't edit it - I will let it stand and you will eat your own words.

Why does it matter though you are supporting it now by defending it dumb ass.

No, I do not defend it - I simply place it in its proper perspective - a necessity if we are to successfully over turn this policy. . . . dumb ass . . .

Do you deny you have said you would like to make "replicates" disappear?

Yes I do - the term is repelicans

and I would indeed purge this nation of the liars, the birchers, the bushite, and other assorted koch suckers

I would sell the concept to the NSA for example - on the basis of national interest and security - one look at the current repelican process of tanking the economy in favor of electoral strategy runs completely counter to our national interest in my opinion - and it is a process that can be shown they have engaged in despite pressing concerns of national security including terrorist attack . . .

favoring instead political gains to be had from the issue upon a blue dress . . .
