Your first problem is watching Fox News.

I don't watch fox news. I don't even own a TV. I watched Lt Col Shaffer's clip on YouTube and shared it. Are you suggesting Col Shaffer is biased? He may be.

anonymous says

Because he's an angry old white guy and we simply have to have someone else to blame to appease the Dotard in the White House ?

No regardless of his motivation, he is still 99% responsible for his own actions.

That extra 1% of misguided righteousness can and will multiply in society if its not called out though. Today we have an entire community of leftists who rrighteously rationalize violence against trump supporters, etc... Its gross. It needs to stop.

Nothing about this shooter's motivation is definitive. All we know for sure is he was a man who embraced the dark side of life's pain and suffering rather than bearing his personal burdon and thriving. He chose the path of Cain over Able. https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=8172s&v=44f3mxcsI50

CBOEtrader says

I don't watch fox news

And yet you posted a video from Fox News as evidence! Big mistake. Fox News is worse than no news.

PCGyver says

I believe they are suggesting that Fox News is biased but apparently that went over your head

I'm unequivocally stating that Fox News outright lies. It's propaganda, not news. It's not bias; it's pure deception.

Do we know yet if Paddock was taking any prescription drugs?


Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and more than half take two, Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center researchers say. Antibiotics, antidepressants and painkilling opioids are most commonly prescribed, their study found.

What a bunch of Failed Losers!

me123 says

Then why do you watch it all the time?

Fox's lies are well documented on other news programs and were exposed quite humorously on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Therefore your implication that a person has to be an avid Fox News watcher to know that Fox News is terribly dishonest is simply a lie and a stupid one. However, you do continue to aptly demonstrate the stupidity of the conservative right. Keep it up piggy.

CBOE said "I watched Lt Col Shaffer's clip on you tube"

You watch this YouTube clip, published on October 3, as the source of your October 2 statement that " this guy is a well known leftist activist.… As long as this continues, violence will continue"?

CBOEtrader says

Listen to the experts

Funny they don't speak of the 40 + guns the guy owned. Sounds like they are picking and choosing and stretching. The gunman doesn't strick me as a liberal who wants gun control.

No, but you know that already. Stop being obtuse.

I am specifically saying i dont care to listen to talking heads. I didnt listen to nor would care about a fox news hosts analysis. What I do care about is the expert statement of Lt Col Shaffer. That is the quote I posted and the one I listened to.

Perhaps that went over your head.

anonymous says

Funny they don't speak of the 40 + guns the guy owned.

He bought $100k worth of guns in just the last few weeks...all in preparation for this event. Then he only used 2 of them? Something doesnt make sense.

Dan8267 says

Fox's lies are well documented on other news programs and were exposed quite humorously on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

LOL Daily show and colbert report are both jokes. Literally, jokes. Their purpose is to make you laugh.

The manipulative nature of those shows has been well documented by psychiatrists, but should also be quite apparent to any reasonably minded viewer. Regardless, no talking head news show anchor is worth listening to. The experts they have on their shows may perhaps be worthwhile. Listen to the expert, skip the editorializing of the talking head.

Do I need to teach you guys how to find facts through a narrative? Lol

Reports are out now that Paddock had booked a hotel room overlooking Lollapalooza next. For sure a leftist.

me123 says

So you're going to use radical lefty liberal talk show hosts as your factual basis of Fox?

What you label as radical lefty liberal talk shows cite hard-core, verifiable evidence, and that is all that matters. You labels, like your life, mean nothing.

CBOEtrader says

LOL Daily show and colbert report are both jokes. Literally, jokes. Their purpose is to make you laugh.

Laughing at the stupidity of people dumb enough to believe Fox News is not mutually exclusive with evidence. Example follows.
www.youtube.com/embed/0i8-ZNLEeag

Just because it's a comedy show doesn't mean any of the things in the above video aren't true. What The Daily Show claimed is true and verifiable. The Daily Show cites real evidence unlike any conservative medial including Fox News and Breitbart. What Fox News says is an outright lie and verifiable true. Tell me exactly how Fox News is right on this story and The Daily Show is wrong. Go on, grow a pair and show that. You can't.

This is exactly why people who watch only The Daily Show score highest on domestic and international knowledge whereas those who watch only Fox News score lowest, even lower than those who watch absolutely no news. That is the bottom line.

The Daily Show is completely accurate in its exposure of the utter hypocrisy and lying of Fox News.

#lawyered

Dan8267 says

What you label as radical lefty liberal talk

Where did use this label? You are projecting your own irrationality onto others.

The daily show is manipulative as F. Go read or listen to entire statements from experts or look at the underlying data for yourself. Its not that hard to do

CBOEtrader says

Dan8267 says

Are you really that stupid? The very post you quoted in turn quotes piggy using exactly the term "radical lefty liberal talk shows". You seriously need to work on your reading comprehension skills.

Translation: You do not have the balls or the honesty to present even an amateurish argument that The Daily Show was manipulative or dishonest or inaccurate. Nor do you have the balls to rise to the challenge of refuting the specific video I posted above in which The Daily Show exposes the hypocrisy of Fox News with indisputable evidence.

Dan8267 says

Not only has CBOEtrader failed to even assert a single false statement in The Daily Show, but now that I explicitly challenged him to do so in the most famous piece from The Daily Show on Fox News, he will not even try. Even though I'm writing that he does not have the balls to attempt to refute the video I just posted and I'm calling him an intellectual coward because of that, he still won't rise to the challenge. Yes, not even after he reads this post.

But hey, coward, prove me wrong. Tear apart everything in the above clip that you think The Daily Show got wrong and defend Fox News. Go on.

Nailed it.

CBOETrader epically failed to back up his baseless assertions even when challenged directly and explicitly. Conservatives are such predictable cowards. They cannot even be shamed into not shitting their pants and hiding when confronted.

Even though I have thoroughly exposed CBOETrader as a liar and a coward, he still won't grow a pair and refute the above Daily Show segment.

www.youtube.com/embed/72UPxDFPKDs

So now you want someone else to fight your battles? This video doesn't even show that The Daily Show is wrong about Fox News. It's talking about soccer.

You lose.

CBOEtrader is truly a moron. He did a YouTube search for any video condemning The Daily Show. He found a video titled "The Degeneration of the Daily Show" and immediately thought it would prove his point and posted it without even watching the video -- yes, it's obvious that this is what has just happened. However, the video is completely mistitled because the actual content of the video, although it uses tiny fractions of a segment, does not address any arguments against The Daily Show itself. The only thing that it argues is
1. Women's soccer produces less money than men's soccer. (true)
2. Soccer is a business and profits are what matters. (true)
3. The women being interviewed lied about the revenue statistic they cited. (false)
4. The statistic is misleading because it was not representative of normal profit because women had a World Cup game that year. (partially true, partially false. The statistic does not support that women's soccer is more profitable than men's soccer, but it does support their point that sometimes women's soccer produces a profit in a year that men's soccer produces a loss. In business, this is called hedging you bets and it's an important financial strategy. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.)

There is nothing in this video that makes The Daily Show look bad or dishonest even if you disagree with the opinion -- and the key word is opinion -- that women's soccer is important. You can disagree with opinions. You cannot disagree with facts. Fox News tries to disagree with facts. Also, there is nothing hypocritical about The Daily Show in this segment unlike Fox News who's hypocrisy is legendary.

Utter fail, CBOEtrader. You should really watch videos before posting them. The title does not necessarily mean what the video does. You are a fool to have posted this video to support your position without actually watching the video. And if you claim to have watched the video before posting it, I will call you out as a liar yet again.

Another thing. It would be one thing to find a single segment from thousands of segments where a show screws up and says something wrong. That's cherry picking. It's quite another when the business model is lying to the public, creating divisiveness and false outrage, and being completely hypocritical on purpose. That's Fox News. It's nothing like The Daily Show and equating the two and calling it a wash is entirely dishonest. No one who does that should be respected at all. And yes, I mean you CBOEtrader.

Dan is truly a moron. He did a Youtube search for any video condemning Fox news, when NO ONE IS DEFENDING OR ARGUING FOR FOX NEWS.

Yet again Dan, try to address the Lt Col Shaffer source or what he said. Stop trying to move the goal posts, stop trying to project your idiocy on others, stop putting up a fox news strawman.

Ultimately you are pissed that every black/white statement you have made about there being "zero % chance" of the shooter being a radical lefitist having merit.

Focus on the topic. Idgaf about fox news.

Dan8267 says

this video to support your position without actually watching the video.

My position on this idiot side topic is that the Daily Show is a manipulative joke. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE MAKING POINTS ABUT FOX NEWS.

I provided a video pointing out a full example supporting my point about the daily show being a joke.

If you want to get your political info from a joke, dont be surprised when the forum laughs at you.

CBOEtrader says

Dan is truly a moron

Wow!

Project much?

I was mirroring his exact statement to make a point. Try to understand adult communication, or just accept your role as a troll.

Way to add nothing to convo jazz

Dan8267 says

That's Fox News. It's nothing like The Daily Show and equating the two and calling it a wash is entirely dishonest.

Lol, where did I equate the 2? You consistently make up your own strawmen.

I've watched the daily show 20 times as much as fox news. The daily show is worthwhile comedy. Fox news otoh s not worth watching.

I WILL equate fox news to CNN. Both are garbage propaganda disguised as unbiased news.

jazz_music says

This is why I ignore certain people they are just lost souls and life is too short to spend it backbiting every day like rats in a fucking trap.

Special Snowflakes think that “their” opinion matters.

Yea but muh Guns!

please edit this and post just one video at a time, thanks

@Patrick, you just threw away everything I just wrote in a post and did not even let me use the back button to get it back. This is the worst thing a forum can do. Change that!

I'll have to post my single coherent reply as several posts, as confusing as that is, because of PatNet shenanigans.

Dan8267 says

Change that!

Entitled much?

Part 1 (And since I'm rewriting this, I'm not going to be as patient and nice as the first time.)

CBOEtrader says

Dan is truly a moron. He did a Youtube search for any video condemning Fox news, when NO ONE IS DEFENDING OR ARGUING FOR FOX NEWS.

You are a lying sack of shit.

You cited Fox News as evidence that the Las Vegas shooter had joined ISIS.

CBOEtrader says

www.youtube.com/embed/bYtYsLh-pPI

Listen to the experts. Leftist terror activist, possibly even an ISIS connection are both very legit theories.

The lone wolf crazy guy theory doesnt quite fit

Part 2

I refuted your false claim by citing the FBI official statements debunking that conjecture and discrediting Fox News for being completely dishonest and distributing misinformation.

Dan8267 says

Your first problem is watching Fox News.
www.youtube.com/embed/osUo48JR9kw

Part 3

You defended Fox News by attacking The Daily Show and The Colbert Report as comedies that have no factually accurate information.

Dan8267 says

You defended Fox News

I would no sooner defend fox news than CNN. If CNN had an expert making a public statement that I agreed with, I would post the CNN video just the same. Even a garbage propaganda network can at times have guests on who make sense.

So, keep arguing w yourself Dan. The forum is laughing at you...

Part 6

You then doubled down on your false counter-attack by citing a video that does not even say what you thought it said because you were too dumb to actually watch a video instead of just doing a cherry-pick search and posting any video whose title sounded like what you wanted.

CBOEtrader says

www.youtube.com/embed/72UPxDFPKDs

Part 7

I completely refuted your stupid move.

Part 8

Now you are trying to back out of the entire issue, but without the honesty of admitting that you were completely wrong to
1. Post the Fox New's propaganda that ISIS was behind the Las Vegas shooting.
2. Try to equate The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to Fox News.
3. Admit that ISIS had nothing to do with the Las Vegas shooting.

In short, not only do you tell unconvincing lies, but you aren't even man enough to admit it when caught with your pants down.

PCGyver says

CBOEtrader says

Yet again Dan, try to address the Lt Col Shaffer source or what he said

Lt Col Shaffer was in the daily show clip. He is a talking head.

We all know that CBOEtrader did not watch that video any more than he watched the video he posted. Evidence is irrelevant to him. The truth is irrelevant to him. It's all about identity politics to him.

Lol, look how easy it is to get dan to dedicate his lunch hour to arguing himself.

Comedy shows arent supposed to be unbiased or informative. They are supposed to make you laugh and perhaps get you started down a path wherein you go do research for yourself. In fact, Jon Stewart agrees with me. Do you remember when he told his MSM talking head guest that "You work for CBS, my show comes on after a puppet show" Or whatever the exact quote was.

Listen to Jon. Dont take the daily show too serious.

I've noticed you still havent address what Lt Col Shaffer said. Its almost like you cant, so you are distracting from the point, and bumping up the trollish nature of your retorts every time I point this out.

Any honest debate would have awarded me the winner 25 posts ago. Try staying on topic, while leaving strawmen and ad hominems out fo it.

So, tell us your thoughts on Lt Col Shaffers statement
