Response to Original message |
| 81. It seems to me that this would be redundant since DUers are always |
|
posting RW articles and then skillfully knocking down their talking points one by one. Others join in and by the end of the day the talking point is pretty much shredded.
As long as we have DUers willing to read/hear the RW arguments and rehash them here on DU for the rest of us who cannot bring ourselves to endure them, we'll have more than enough RW views to educate us.
One of the reasons I watch Morning Joe is to catch the drift of RW thinking on a current subject of debate. When I present my findings on DU I often get responses such as "I never watch that crap." That's fine, but some of us like to be aware of what the other side has planned so we can be ready for them.
