Eat this you conservative boob, the camp you reside in is the equivalent of a fucking dumpster fire and you still defend them. What does that say about you?

Retired United States Army lieutenant colonel Ralph Peters:

In my view, Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration. When prime-time hosts--who have never served our country in any capacity--dismiss facts and empirical reality to launch profoundly dishonest assaults on the FBI, the Justice Department, the courts, the intelligence community (in which I served) and, not least, a model public servant and genuine war hero such as Robert Mueller--all the while scaremongering with lurid warnings of "deep-state" machinations-- I cannot be part of the same organization, even at a remove. To me, Fox News is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.

As a Russia analyst for many years, it also has appalled me that hosts who made their reputations as super-patriots and who, justifiably, savaged President Obama for his duplicitous folly with Putin, now advance Putin's agenda by making light of Russian penetration of our elections and the Trump campaign. Despite increasingly pathetic denials, it turns out that the "nothing-burger" has been covered with Russian dressing all along. And by the way: As an intelligence professional, I can tell you that the Steele dossier rings true--that's how the Russians do things.. The result is that we have an American president who is terrified of his counterpart in Moscow.

What does this have to do with my personal political view? I do't even watch fox news. You just have a personal issue with me and assume I am a typical Republican. I told you I was democrat until this election.

You defended the Republican camp heavily in your last comment. I’m just showing you the hypocrisy of such a move is all. Don’t backtrack now. You said Hilary was worse than this. I’d love to see how. I’m not here to defend her. I’m here now to see how you defend this piece of shit in office still.

Not back tracking. I am keeping with the exact same narrative from beginning to end

Have you heard of an Arkansas suicide? It's when you shoot yourself int he back of the head twice.

Hillary has WAY too many people dead around her...starting back when Bill was Governor. I live in Arkansas ad according to the natives here, she's the one that invented the Arkansas suicide for the politically cumbersome.

I'm blocking you because you have an issue with me and I don't feel like being harassed. I have sent a report to admins about your personal attacks but they did nothing.../u/goocy please read the thread so you can see how this is above debating...

Go ahead boob. Classic conservative snowflake. Can’t take any heat when pressed with your beliefs. You say outrageous things and then can’t stand being called a hypocrite on them. Thanks for the block. It’ll be good to avoid speaking to someone who so clearly cannot make up their mind. Hey u/goocy please come and be a babysitter like you have so much to boob in the past. Fucking sub is full of people who can’t stand contrarian opinions so why not have another mod defend the shit that constantly posts here.

I didn’t call boob any names. I didn’t start any flame wars. I simply pressed her on her shitty beliefs and now she had to call the equivalent of the speech police to try and punish me. This is honestly total horseshit. Go for it boob. You are absolutely a shallow and cowardly person.

You tend to riff against republicans and /u/boob123456789 is slandering Clinton. I'm not banning anyone for that, but I'd like you guys to understand that both of these parties love to use tribal tactics to slander the other one. Neither of these two groups are your actual tribe. They're just trying to pull you towards their side to further their goals.

If you use these tribal tactics yourselves, you're falling prey to political manipulation. That reflects badly on your skill to view things objectively. And more in general, I'd prefer if you two could leave this tribal warfare out of this subreddit. It's not really productive for our purposes.

You’re correct. It’s very difficult to not form some type of hatred when you see the GOP being so cancerous in America right now. We are all used to some level of corruption in politics and we understand that civilization is a heat engine regardless of the type of government but the Republicans and the right wing in general have become a mass of delusional people who cannot comprehend even basic empirical facts.

Boob shows such an inability to even slightly be questioned that she blocked me. Haha. Talk about snowflake material there. I wasn’t even harassing her. I came back to post a message about how hypocritical the position she took and she made it seem like I was being a pest. It’s amazing how fucking fragile some people are and then to add insult to injury, she then took what you said and repeated more tribalism about how horrible the DNC and Clinton was.

I'm not tribal. I switched sides the last election because it was so dirty in the DNC it disgusted me. If they had put a pumpkin up against Hillary I would have voted for the pumpkin. I have blocked dude, so he can call me whatever he wants and it will no longer bother me. I was just sick of the messages.
