(649 posts)"hysteria"? I thought that was the word they used to dismiss women who asked too many questions, or had actual thoughts of their own, like 60 years ago. Guess some folks still feel the need to dismiss actual challenge to their imposed narratives,. . good luck with that.

(4,795 posts)Drudge? He said he should be applauded for breaking censorship. But also said he publishes rumors with political slant. Its was an even handed summary (being that Assange isn't a Democrat).
Yeah, I did hear I admire Ron and Rand Paul for their principled positions on..... (domestic spying and drone warfare and defense of wikileaks).

(8,209 posts)He chooses his words carefully, and in his position, he is trying not to make more enemies, nevertheless, he continues to stay on track as a brilliant foil to the corporate news media.

(51,554 posts)Did you watch the video? He actually says Ron and Rand Paul's positions on abortion are "consistent" with their "nonviolent principles."
Ron and Rand Paul would force women to have their rapist's babies. How the fuck is that consistent with libertarian principles?!

(6,852 posts)Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began. ... What if the checks had never arrived? No doubt the blacks would have fully privatized the welfare state through continued looting. But they were paid off and the violence subsided.
Gays in San Francisco do not obey the dictates of good sense," adding: "[T]hese men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners." Also, "they enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick."
Is it any coincidence that the AIDS epidemic developed after they came "out of the closet," & started hyper-promiscuous sodomy?
On the holiday honoring MLK, the films shown in the government schools depict whites as evil.
This is just some. Ron Paul is a racist and a homophobic bigot. It is wrong to stand with him on anything.

(4,802 posts)on corporate maleficence around the Globe. that hardly makes him a libertarian. I hear nothing of Assange's full endorsement of the Paul's views other than their Social Libertarian values. Nothing of their economics.
. Social Libertarian views can cross ideological boundaries when it comes to issues such as the First Amendment . With WikiLeaks attacks on the role of corporations overseas, I think Assange would be extremely uncomfortable in Ayn Rand's world where corporations and the rich's rule goes unchecked.

(51,554 posts)Oh, and he says Ron and Rand's hypocritical anti-choice positions are "consistent" with their "nonviolent principles." Have you ever seen the violence that an illegal abortion does to a women's body, you ignorant sexist ass?!
Fuck you, Julian Assange.

(36,974 posts)Julian Assange Praises Innovator Matt Drudge, Principled Rand Paul
Friday morning, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange participated in an online chat session hosted by Campus Reform, in which he offered up some special praise for conservatives Matt Drudge and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). Assange applauded The Drudge Report for disrupting the self-censorship of the establishment press and held up Paul as one of the most principled members of the U.S. Congress.
Responding to questions from Campus Reform editor-in-chief Josiah Ryan, Assange began by calling Drudge a news media innovator who has been on the rise since the Monica Lewinsky scandal. It is as a result of the self-censorship of the establishment press in the United States that gave Matt Drudge such a platform, Assange said, and so of course he should be applauded for breaking a lot of that censorship.
He also noted that social media has supplanted much of what Drudge is known for, which he described as collecting interesting rumors that looked like they might be true and publishing them. Assange said he only agrees with some of Drudges political opinions.
I am a big admirer of Ron Paul and Rand Paul for their very principled positions in the U.S. Congress on a number of issues, Assange said, saying they have been some of his strongest supporters when it comes to attacks on WikiLeaks. He called the position of the libertarian Republican right an interesting phenomenon. He pointed out that they principle of non-violence could include being against both drone warfare and abortion.

Thank you, thank you, uhnope, for showing that these people are so unlike you.
They actually have principles that extend beyond party allegiance, which in your mind destroys their credibility in one shot.
They actually demonstrate their assertions, with documented evidence, unlike you.
Who'd've thunk it?
Who'd've thunk anyone gave a damn?
Not you.
