See my previous post. That was him.Uh oh. CDS is alive and well.
I don't know who this guy is or was.
Is that a floppy penis allusion at the end?
That's funny, I don't care who y'ar.
That kinda sounds like "The kids who shot up Columbine High School liked violent video games and heavy metal music."The guy who ambushed and killed three Pittsburgh police officers and wounded two others was a fan of Fox News (Glenn Beck in particular) and Alex Jones. This is the America Ailes created.
Not the same and you know it.That kinda sounds like "The kids who shot up Columbine High School liked violent video games and heavy metal music."
No, I'm pretty sure you're ascribing causation to correlation. I mean, yeah Alex Jones is an apoplectic flailer, but Beck was more of a... weeper? And in either case, they both had untold thousands of viewers which completely failed to go postal. You're definitely closer to pulling a Jack Thompson on this one than not.Not the same and you know it.
Dude had a daily diet of "they're coming to take our guns." Fox fed into that paranoia for profit.
Bachman didn't go on MSNBC going on about FEMA concentration camps.

So there were more of the grandfather types like the previous anecdote than full on psycho wingnuts. Do you mean to tell me the environment Ailes created didn't have some influence on that dude's state of mind?No, I'm pretty sure you're ascribing causation to correlation.

Do you mean to tell me the environment that Doom and Marilyn Manson created didn't have some influence on the Columbine shooters' states of mind?So there were more of the grandfather types like the previous anecdote than full on psycho wingnuts.

I never said anything either way about those kids. I never even brought them up. It was another argument for the sake of argument post.Do you mean to tell me the environment that Doom and Marilyn Manson created didn't have some influence on the Columbine shooters' states of mind?
You can't pick and choose with this stuff just because you like one more than the other. Either media leads people to commit horrible crimes, or it doesn't. And I'm firmly in the "it doesn't" camp, no matter how much I dislike the Fox News insanity.
So you don't blame them for trying?No, I'm pretty sure you're ascribing causation to correlation. I mean, yeah Alex Jones is an apoplectic flailer, but Beck was more of a... weeper?

Well i for one don't recall either Doom or Marilyn Manson ever claiming the people from school where trying to take away people's trench-coats...That kinda sounds like "The kids who shot up Columbine High School liked violent video games and heavy metal music."
