| 7. I don't respect him anymore because he's promoting the big lie. |

Saying that the liars on Fux news and commentators on MSNBC is disingenuous at best and a dangerous equivocation at worst. The people screaming the lies and the people shouting them down with the truth are NOT the same thing. AT ALL. Fux screams lies. Olbermann, Maddow, and O'Donnell shout them down with the truth. Stewart said they are the same and both are dangerous.
That's the problem.

Because his defense boils down to the "tone" argument - the favorite tactic of concern trolls. |
