Boy the butthurt around here about what Megyn Kelly said, who cares?

[Packerowner740]

Who is she in the grand scheme of things? Just another talking head. There are bigger fish to fry.

[JI7]

1. nobody is butthurt about it, it's about exposing these people, this is a political board

[Rex]

2. Hmmm....

Did the truth rub a little raw there?

[Packerowner740]

7. Did you even read my post?

She's a talking head that has no impact. Who cares what she says. If she were a political leader with some clout it would matter.

[edhopper]

9. So you don't think Faux

has any impact?

[Packerowner740]

15. I watch what I want to watch. People that watch them have already been impacted.

If they are watching her they have already chosen to because they are like minded. You're not going to change their mind anyway.

[edhopper]

18. If you are not trying to change things

why are you here?

[Packerowner740]

67. You can't change that sort of ideology. You can by being involved in campaigns and movements

Not posting thread after thread and making fun of some tv personality.

One thread about her would probably been good for all the comments, not the dozen or so that are probably here.

[VanillaRhapsody]

80. you have 141 posts...AND you think you are qualified to dictate how many posts are

appropriate about a subject?

hmmmm in deed.

[Packerowner740]

93. I asked a question, nothing more nothing less.

If that qualifies as "dictates" to you, I think you have to look that word up.

[VanillaRhapsody]

95. its not what you said...its HOW you said it...

I think you should look up the term Butthurt first...don't you think?

[Rex]

17. Whining about third party butthurt in GD on a Thursday

in a political forum. Really? Nothing better to start a thread on? She is SO worthless, you started a thread on her so she could get less attention in GD. Really?

Maybe you haven't notice, but we talk about nobodies around here all the time. The entire GOP is full of worthless nobodies...it is our hobby here so sue us!

[Packerowner740]

115. No, I didn't start a thread on her, I just wanted to know why people get so upset over her

No need to sue you, I don't like lawyers.

[VanillaRhapsody]

79. I don't think you understand what the term "butthurt" means...

[liberalmuse]

113. She has impact.

Your post is seen by a few thousand at most. She is seen by millions of viewers, and let's face it, American's can be rather gullible.

[dionysus]

3. what happened? what did i miss?

[Mike Daniels]

13. Fox News million dollar blonde basically stated that Santa and Jesus were both white

I think what set her off was some lady stating that she told her kids that Santa was black.

Just another front in the War on Christmas as far as FOX is concerned. Why report real news when you can make a ton of money having a fake hissy fit over a fictional symbol of the holiday?

As far as JC, I guess Megyn hasn't spent a lot of time in the Middle East if she thinks he was actually "white".

[dionysus]

24. well, Jesus is from the middle east so he probably looks like your average Palestinian...

but Santa is Nordic isn't he? I could kinda see the case for Santa... oh wait.. Santa.. isn't real....

[Bjorn Against]

28. But Megan Kelly referred to Santa as a real historical figure

[dionysus]

30. oi. nt

[edhopper]

33. Saint Nicholas

was Turkish.

[dionysus]

36. well, you learn something new every day!

[kwassa]

62. Saint Nicholas was Greek.

There was no Turkey at the time, though where he lived is now part of Turkey.

[TeeYiYi]

72. Neither's Jesus. ..nt

TYY

[VanillaRhapsody]

82. No Turkish or Greek...

but definitely not Nordic..

[Voice for Peace]

4. a huge part of the reason why there are so many big fish to fry

is that our nation is steeped and stewing in media propaganda
most of which is founded in lies, stupidity, even outright
cruelty. Most often presented to us by pretty blonde women
who appear to be intelligent until they start talking about
stuff.

SHE needs to be called out, and have a look at herself in
the mirror. It could do her a world of good and maybe
help to save the minds of humanity. So don't let DU make
your own butt hurt.

[trumad]

55. Excellent Post

Although it should be obvious to any Progressive with common sense.

[LanternWaste]

5. I think that should I confuse mocking a person with being being "butthurt"

I think that should I ever confuse mocking a vapid newscaster with being being "butthurt", I'd be compelled (by truth if nothing else) to refer to myself a sub-literate, un-educated guest at a fish fry.

However, you're quite different and very special... and never let anyone tell you differently!!!

[Packerowner740]

11. Ah, try to be insulting to me personally

Now I know by what people around here by saying "making DU suck".

Carry on.

[Iggo]

64. Now who's butthurt?

[Packerowner740]

65. Certainly not me, just making a comment about how people "make DU suck"

Obviously you know all about that too.

Carry on.

[Iggo]

68. If you say so!

[Packerowner740]

89. Some have welcomed me to the site, others have attacked but

It's just the internet, right?

[Iggo]

99. A last-worder, too.

I like you!

[pinboy3niner]

103. ...

[Packerowner740]

108. I've never heard of a last worder

I ll have to try to look that one up.

[VanillaRhapsody]

85. I think we know what "makes DU Suck" and its very different than what you think it is!

[Packerowner740]

91. I think it's attacking other members here instead of welcoming new members and

Conversing with them but hey, it's just the internet, right? I wouldn't say anything on the web that I wouldn't say in person. Some just hide behind the antonimity of the Internet to be tough.

[VanillaRhapsody]

94. YOU would wouldn't you? Particularly since they came into your house...

then start complaining about the decorating style....

Yeah you always want to welcome "those" kinds of guests!

[VanillaRhapsody]

83. shhhh he might actually figure out what the term means!

[Iggo]

118. Oh, s/he knows what it means.

Feigned ignorance is a standard trait of a certain kind of internet denizen.

And in this case, obvious feigned ignorance is obvious.

[HappyMe]

6. I thought most people were making fun

of her blatant stupidity.


Here, join in the fun!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024168944

[edhopper]

8. Hey newbie

you have a problem with pointing out the gross bigotry on Faux News?

[Packerowner740]

14. I watch what I want to watch. I've never seen her show. If others want to I don't care.

Whatever floats yer boat.

[edhopper]

16. There are millions of Faux viewers who

get ALL their News from Faux and Rush and Drudge, their voting has done serious harm to our nation. That is why it matters and why we point out the more ludicrous statements by these idiots. You should care.

[Packerowner740]

69. But you are just preaching to the choir here

Are you spreading that "news" out in the real world? That might make a difference.

[VanillaRhapsody]

86. SOOO? What do you care?

mighty presumptuous aren't you?

[SammyWinstonJack]

74. ...

[HappyMe]

22. DA BEARS!

[Packerowner740]

70. Noooo, not da bears.

We ll see the last game of the season. Your broken QB playing my broken QB.

[Voice for Peace]

10. and furthermore, people on tv lying outright to children.. bad bad bad

commercial advertisers, we know them already, but
news reporters shouldn't lie outright to kids about
things that matter.

[MineralMan]

12. I think you're misunderstanding the term, 'butthurt.'

Megyn Kelly is an abject moron. People are just pointing that out.

[polichick]

19. So start a thread about the fish you want to fry.

[Coyotl]

20. Who is Megyn Kelly?

Caption this: Megyn Kelly
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024168944

Thanks for the opportunity to send some traffic to the caption thread, much appreciated.

[Rex]

26. A Kelly Christmas - Santa and Jesus

[cry baby]

21. So, where are you with what she said? Is Jesus white?

Is Santa real and white?

[Packerowner740]

71. I think I posted elsewhere, both fictional characters

They can be whatever you want them to be.

[hobbit709]

23. Please fill this out before posting.

[Coyotl]

56. All of the above option would really help

[Packerowner740]

73. Good thing I'm not butthurt but I'll keep it for future reference

Are you in charge of distributing those or collecting them?

[VanillaRhapsody]

88. How would you know? You don't know what it means...

perhaps you are under the circumstances!

[Iggo]

104. HR made me take that down from my cubicle wall.

[tenderfoot]

25. Fucking hell...

[spanone]

27. it's good to call attention to the fools and the foolish things they pass as news...sunlight is good

[11 Bravo]

29. Oh, horseshit. Fox is by far the most watched cable news network. They are also ...

a bunch of evil, lying, shitweasels; and ANY time one of their allegedly "straight news" talking heads says something really fucking stupid it's to our benefit to shout it from the rooftops.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

31. you're doing it wrong.

and then posting it back in your home. nice.

[Packerowner740]

76. Sorry, don't follow you there.

[CJCRANE]

32. It's official...

Megyn Kelly IS Santa Claus!

[1000words]

34. Stick around ... you'll find it's not a specific issue, per se.

Frankly, some folks are only comfortable expressing feelings of outrage. Any "slight" will do. It can be quite an entertaining spectacle, as long as you don't get yourself sucked into the drama.

Welcome to DU.

[Packerowner740]

77. Thank you

[JoePhilly]

35. I think somebody has a crush on Megan Kelly ...

... you do know that she's a fictional character, right?

[trumad]

40. Snarf.

[Packerowner740]

78. Not my type, I'm not into blondes, fake or not.

[TBF]

37. Are you lost? Just asking. nt

[JoePhilly]

38. Megan based her views about Santa on a documentary she saw ...

It even says "original".

[Tarheel_Dem]

45. !!!

[JoePhilly]

48. Apparently, he's also Irish (based on the red hair) ... another reason for Megan to be

seriously into the fat man.

[trumad]

39. Nothing like a Newbie coming in and telling us how to post and what to read.

[1000words]

42. One look at your transparency page tells me you might need some pointers on posting.

A look at *your* post count and one would think you would have it figured out by now.

[trumad]

44. Most of my hides are telling douchebags to fuck off....

I only think it now... Hey BTW: What do you think I'm thinking?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

46. I've had my eye on 1000words for some time

yep. go ahead and reference my transparency page if you want also. I know what you're up to.

[trumad]

49. Dudes been here 3 months...

I've been here almost 13 years.....

I'm sure he won't last the year.

[1000words]

50. Sorry, I don't go for your type.

Doesn't mean we can't be friends, though.

[noiretextatique]

92. i think you are thinking

that the poster with 601 posts is defending the one with 146 posts

[hobbit709]

47. Keep trying, you'll get there.

[JoePhilly]

43. I asked Santa to get me the New Improved 2014 Megan Kelly.

I hear the 2014 model seems almost human.

[Packerowner740]

81. 36,000+ posts! you must be THE MAN around here.

Can you explain to me what "making DU suck" means?

[Son of Gob]

101. Whenever you post.

[Iggo]

109. Good gob! Talk about walking right into a haymaker!

[Packerowner740]

110. Ooh huh, you got me there sparky.

Maybe I should now resort to, I know you are but what am I?

[Fumesucker]

41. ...

[lpbk2713]

51. I don't know if Megan Kelly is related to Emmett Kelly ...

... but they are certainly two of the world's most famous clowns.

[Vashta Nerada]

52. I really don't like the term "butthurt".

[Initech]

66. Me either!

[Packerowner740]

84. Do you have a suggestion for what I should have used instead?

[Vashta Nerada]

96. Annoyed? Offended? Pissed off?

There are better, more adult words to use.

[Packerowner740]

106. Thank you

I will try to choose my words better in the future.

[LynneSin]

53. Faux New's rule of thumb is if they put a pretty blonde in front of the camera...

that their vierwers will believe ANYTHING she says.

If anything I think she knows just what a dimwitted thing it was she said but she also realizes the typical Faux News viewer will belive anything she says.

[Jamaal510]

54. Not butthurt, just laughing at her. nt

[PCIntern]

57. WTF???

I'll just BET you don't watch her...

[Kingofalldems]

59. Megyn Kelly: 'I'm pretty, so I cross and uncross my legs.'

60. I'm sorry.

We're just simple folk whose wee brains can handle only one thought at a time.

[XRubicon]

61. Leave Britany Alone!!!!

[kwassa]

63. I agree!

[TroglodyteScholar]

75. I don't particularly care

...But using the idiotic non-word "butthurt" might prompt people of average intellect and above to dismiss anything you say.

[Packerowner740]

87. Oh so you only let certain people post here?

[TroglodyteScholar]

97. Who said anything about "let?"

Did I somehow ban you from DU without realizing it?

No, I said you aren't helping yourself to be taken seriously. And as a poster who is very new, posting very actively, and clearly eager to (falsely) accuse others of silencing you, some might wonder if you didn't stumble upon the wrong site somehow.

[WinkyDink]

107. I'll bell that cat: Deliberate Freeper-style "misapprehension."

[Packerowner740]

112. Never heard of "bell that cat" or "deliberate freeper-style misapprehension"

Guess I ll gave to google them.

[Packerowner740]

111. I think this is the most active I've been up to this point

Only a few posts a day.

Did I end up on the wrong site?

I don't know, is there another site for Democrats, liberals, progressives to interact with other like minded individuals without being attacked and accused of things by other members?

[TroglodyteScholar]

116. I don't know, but it won't be a site that you're posting on, apparently.

Your original post was an attack on the Democrats, liberals, and progressives who interact with one another "around here."

Yes, we do have bigger fish to fry. No, you did not do yourself any favors in the approach you took expressing your view.

Don't want to be attacked? Simple. Don't go on the attack.

[WinkyDink]

105. Well, reading comprehension USED to be a kind of requisite.

[Marr]

90. Her career is built on demonizing people and groups by twisting words and

deceitfully framing issues. Such a person can't really complain at a time like this, and certainly doesn't deserve defending.

[Tikki]

98. WHITE WORLD…Jesus and Santa, moxy and spunk...

Tikki

[WinkyDink]

100. Even "bigger fish," "in the grand scheme of things," are minor. Don't like a thread? Don't read it.

[MoonRiver]

102. She said something incredibly racist and stupid.

One of DU's roles is to put down/call out the idiot party.

[MadrasT]

117. I have no idea who this "Megyn" person is. n/t
