Is there ObamaCare “propaganda” on our favorite shows? Well, if there isn’t, it’s likely the only kind of left-wing propaganda our favorite “shows” are missing.

PS — it’s very telling that ANY criticism of The Big O is not responded to with facts and logic, but simply by mudslinging, belitttlement, and demonization.
**************
Yet you Obamaphobes are the ones doing the name calling and mud slinging, whereas I'm simply asking you to defend your bumper-sticker-inspired position.
Go figure, huh? ;>)
Still waiting for a coherent remark.
Don't hold your breath.

"Well, I just don't believe the government has any business requiring me to either buy health insurance or to prescribe what my insurance has to cover."
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST!!!1!"
“RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST!!!1!”

Somebody's hallucinating again. I never made any such remark, or anything like it.
Figure it this way, Psycho: if you have to lie about what I said to make your point, how much validity could your point actually have?
Oh, and I’m supposed to just say nothing while some communist turd (I noticed you threw out the race card, which automatically voids any of the drivel that might have oozed for your keyboard) lowers my standard of living to 3 world status?
I’ll make this somewhat short, fuck off and die Parasitic Hag.

I refer to Obama's race, because it IS an issue with the right, no matter how hard you try to deny it. Keep your homemade rules about "automatic voids" to yourself, please.
I guess you haven't figured out yet that name calling and tantrums have little effect on me. If you really want to get to me, try refuting my position with facts and logic. It's very telling that you never even consider that approach.
Bullshit, Livvy, just bullshit. Name calling? You think slinging around the accusation of RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACISM! isn't name calling? How about YOU come up with a solid fact or two to back up this slur?
I didn't "slink around" anything, Psycho. I merely pointed out that you regard Obama as black. So do I. Please explain why you think that's so outrageous.
You're protesting just a wee bit too much here, don't you think? ;>)
you regard Obama as black
He's not? You need to tell his parents that you know something they don't.
She's talking to herself again. ^
That happens a lot to the mentally ill and libtards...next she'll be pushing a shopping cart full of recyclables and yelling at people on the street, and probably sleeping in a park and peeing on bushes in front of some city hall...it's a slippery slope for libtards with no medication....
Hey flash, got a Q for ya, no biggie just bugs me. You're an engineer (Ret.) & a fantastical photographer so you have a good "eyeball" on both counts.
Was looking around into the fired Twitter twit's background to see where he's been and ran across this:

Is that flagpole out of plumb or is it the camera angle? It just jumped out at me before I even looked at the guys face. Cut me some slack, having one of those days. Snowed last night but the rain that's been falling since 9 washed it all away, and I need to be outside today.
It's either out of plumb, or it's very weak and is being pulled to the right by the flag flying in the breeze.
Don't look now, Psycho, but I didn't call you a racist, much less a RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST. I simply made a satirical remark about the far right's anti-Obama attitude, referring to him as the Big Bad Black Muslim Socialist Communist Fascist Kenyan.
It's quite funny, by the way----and very telling----that you didn't deny any of the FALSE labels (bad, Muslim, socialist, communist, fascist or Kenyan) but got all huffy over being accused of acknowledging that he's black.
You guys are so EASY.................. :>D
Big Bad Black Muslim Socialist Communist Fascist Kenyan.
Do tell!
Please, refer us to any and all posts on this site where anyone besides you posted that phrase.
I don't bother trying to debate brainwashed sycophants, and application of race is a sure sign that you have nothing but conjecture to offer.
Have a nice day, Hagatha.
It's a shame really. All modern television shows, besides some sports, are nothing more then the propaganda arm of the government, or a large multinational corporation. The only other option is the web, and this won't be an open forum much longer. My advice is to get as much of the how do info as you can, before they shut that off too in the name of "national security"
Whine, whine, whine. I love the hypocrisy: when business promotes a right wing agenda, it's just "free market." But, when it promotes what you guys deem a "left wing agenda," it's because the Big Bad Black Muslim Socialist Communist Fascist Kenyan is suppressing the media. :>D
Don't worry, Misspelled Hemorrhoid. As long as you can whine and cry and bitch and get on everybody's nerves while doing so, we still have free speech.
TURDS!!
So does this mean you can't answer my questions, about your specific reason(s) for "loving" Condoleezza Rice and Michael Steele, other than the fact that they're Republicans?
BTW, dumb bitch, you are replying to a post that was made before you challenged me about that point. Learn to read a time stamp before you look like a bigger asshole than you already do.
Please refer to this post above:

PH, it doesn't matter that his race is a non issue, the leftists all make it an issue, because they have nothing else to say. It seems to me that those who constantly use race in debate are the real racists, and those who never mention or use it aren't.
Funny how that works, isn't it?
We're supposed to be racist, but we voted for Herman Cain, and Marco Rubio, and loved Condi Rice and Michael Steele. Yea, we must be racist.

Even racists will make exceptions for selected individuals, Poopajoe, especially individuals who are willing to blame members of their own race for the ills of society, or to get with the white-evangelical Christian-male dominated Republican program. That, no doubt, is why you didn't have a problem with Herman Cain's sexual irregularities (although you make such a big deal about Clinton's) and pattern of sexual harassment, or his almost comical ignorance about foreign policy. It was more important that you grab the opportunity to pretend you're not a bigot.
As for "Condi Rice," what exactly is it that you loved about her, other than that she's a Republican?
As for Michael Steele, he's been sharply critical of the GOP lately, particularly their antics concerning the government shutdown. What is it that you "love" about him or his political position? Would you "love" him just as much if he suddenly decided to become a Democrat? ;>)
Kinda like white apologists, right?
People like you who constantly prop up ineffectual individuals of another race, just to have the presumptive high ground by claiming others are racist.
While people like us conservatives on this site, tend to support truly effective and greatly accomplished individuals, regardless of race.

No, not really. It's not at all logical to assume that anyone who brings up the ugly issue of racism is "the real racist." But it IS a handy way of projecting one's own bigotry onto those who challenge him on it----i.e., the old "I'm rubber, you're glue" argument. :>P
Racism, my boy, is about making unpleasant assumptions about people, based on their racial ancestry. You know, like Glenn Beck accusing Obama of having "a deep seated hatred of white people," or righties like yourself (falsely) claiming that his goal is to give black people lots of unearned money and benefits so they can be idle and uppity? It has nothing at all to do with pointing out perceived bigotry.
If there is a show that doesn't pay homage to Mutual of Obamaha that would be news.....If they ever wake up the giant popping sound will be the Lamestream media pulling their head out of Obama's ass....
Or DHS executing conservatives.
This is news? Why would anyone think that the left coast shilling for the left would be something newsworthy? More like "Same old, same old".
More reason that my one television will remain safely in storage.
Yes stinkfoot, it's just like someone who comes here and bitches about what we say, but reads it and comments on it anyway, and refuses to go away!
TURDS!
@PJ49
Haaaaaaa. Epic Win!!!!!!
Trust a right wingnut to consider it a "win" when s/he manages to suppress opposing views.
Guess s/he doesn't think s/he's capable of "winning" the argument with facts or logic.
Shouldn't you be off breastfeeding a blind baby seal that George W. Bush had clubbed to near death?
Couldn't deny my point, could you?
Well I could have pointed out that PJ49's big win came from so succinctly pointing out your glaring hypocrisy. But I decided it would be more fun to mock one of your great many accomplishments instead.
Translation: "You're right----I couldn't. I'd better stick to glittering generalities and dumb lies instead."
Translation:
poppajoe49 so soundly kicked my ass that I have nothing left but to try and twist every reply to sound like I won.
That about sums it up.
"Glittering" generalities?
glit·ter [glit-er] Show IPA
verb (used without object)
1. to reflect light with a brilliant, sparkling luster; sparkle with reflected light.
2.to make a brilliant show.
noun
3.a sparkling reflected light or luster.
Perhaps you shouldn't worry about translating anything until you've a better grasp of even the most common words.
" It’s okay, Kip. I really didn’t expect you to be familiar with propaganda techniques."
Nor I you, given the general ineffectiveness of your arguments.
My approach does have its advantages though. For example I, unlike you, was fully aware of what a classical liberal was, that type of satire Jonathan Swift wrote, that the DREAM Act wasn’t a law, that we have a progressive income tax in this country and that mosquitoes are perfectly capable of transmitting malaria.

You sound defensive. It's okay, Kip. I really didn't expect you to be familiar with propaganda techniques.
I thought the metaphoric potential for the phrase was interesting enough, if a bit odd.. but learning the propagandistic terminology today is a big win..
You gotta admit, the techniques of propagandists are sorta fascinating.. there’s no other way to counter them other then learning them
*************
I agree on both counts.

Sorry I was too busy reading the important books to be so familiar with Nazi like propaganda. Alas this is why I would never make a good progressive. My approach does have its advantages though. For example I, unlike you, was fully aware of what a classical liberal was, that type of satire Jonathan Swift wrote, that the DREAM Act wasn't a law, that we have a progressive income tax in this country and that mosquitoes are perfectly capable of transmitting malaria.
Oh, it's such a bad idea to chide other for lack of knowledge, when you yourself are poorly informed.
Did you never learn about propaganda techniques in school? That would certainly account for your gullibility.......

Glittering generalities was one of the seven main propaganda techniques identified by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis in 1938. It also occurs very often in politics and political propaganda. Glittering generalities are words that have different positive meaning for individual subjects, but are linked to highly valued concepts. When these words are used, they demand approval without thinking, simply because such an important concept is involved. For example, when a person is asked to do something in "defense of democracy" they are more likely to agree. The concept of democracy has a positive connotation to them because it is linked to a concept that they value. Words often used as glittering generalities are honor, glory, love of country, and especially in the United States, freedom. When coming across with glittering generalities, we should especially consider the merits of the idea itself when separated from specific words.
Correction, Poopajoe: I CHALLENGE you on what you say.
And then enjoy watching you do a bunch of name calling, because you can't back up your claims.
Um, DUH!
You're still here posting, aren't you?
You're still complaining about us being racist, aren't you?
I presume you're reading our posts, not just posting replies without reading them, right?
You have roundly ignored our challenges that you leave, even telling us that you won't, and have every right to challenge us, right?
I say that answers your challenge.
Good for you, Stinkfoot, and I mean that sincerely. There's nothing sillier than a person constantly bitching about what's on television, and then watching it anyway.
