Why isn't this murder?

[DaShi]

No, that isn't sufficient evidence to support your claim at all.

And what claim would that be? That it is hypocritical to complain about the "media" inciting anger toward a certain group, while defending another component of the media for doing the same? That's the crux of my argument here. I simply asked Zevico how he felt about the comments that were stated in that post. Sorry that that offended you so much. It was not my intention.

[DaShi]

To be fair, it important to note that Dashi will be the most likely to accurately interpret the dogwhistle signals.

Interesting that you're now here.

[DaShi]

No, it's just that you are not fun.

Then post fun things. Saying that the media is starting race riots is not fun. It's inherently controversial and, to be fair, the exact kinds of things that Rush does say to stir the pot. If that's you're intention, good job. But don't say people aren't being fun when they respond to your polemic.

Lengthy article about the life of George Zimmerman.

This is illuminating, though:

It does give some insight into the motivation behind his actions. I don't think anyone, except some extremists, are accusing him a first degree.

There are a lot of extremists then.

I bring up what the media has been doing because I find it troubling. In return you present nothing but insinuations and insults. The snide asides are getting old. What happened? You weren't always this bitter.

Rush Limbaugh said that representatives who voted for the PPACA should be voted out of office.

You see a direct connection between that and a shooting perpetrated by a nihilist who was angry that a woman didn't answer the question "what is government if words have no meaning?"

I'm sorry, but I don't. I'm not sure which is worse, that you're still exploiting a fourteen month-old tragedy to conjure up fake "hypocrisy" charges against a college freshman on the internet - or that you're not even good at it.

Rush Limbaugh's opinions on the PPACA have about as much to do with the Tucson shootings as Martin Luther's 95 Theses have to do with the Digital Milennium Copyright Act.

Actually, I never made the claim that there is a direct connection. In fact, I specifically shifted the conversation away from that instead to the general issue of whether or not they could be considered inciteful in light of the media's reaction to the Trevor Martin case.

You posted a series of anti-Zimmerman comments from a bunch of loons and then accused the media of driving them crazy. I responded reasonably with a post showing that there is similar anger on the other side. Thus, unless you are accusing the media of inciting both sides for whatever reason, you're current accusation doesn't hold water. But you didn't say that. You responded with obtuse questions telling me what I believe. Perhaps you should look closer at the insinuations and insults in your posts. I accuse you of bitterness.

Relatively, no.

There you go again. You completely ignore my other posts where I have shown a number of instances where the press disseminated bad info that were lazy at best and arguably deliberately inflammatory at worst. THEN I post what I see as the result of this. Your response, btw, didn't suck because it wasn't on topic, it sucked because of the assinine quip "Seriously?" you threw in with it.

I have conversations here with many people who disagree with me. You are the only one that goes to great lengths to be as unpleasent as possible and I am sick to death of it.

If the best example you can give of Rush Limbaugh's inciting hatred leading to the Giffords shooting is that he told people to vote Democrats out of office, why on earth would you expect HC to take that argument seriously and agree with you? Why is he a hypocrite?

As far as I can tell, you're just really bad at logic.

And I couldn't seriously believe that someone could rationally draw that conclusion given the evidence that I presented. Since you didn't follow up with anything less assinine, it fair to assume that's the style you prefer.

EDIT: I'll add that I would have and actually meant to include Alpert in that "Seriously?" response. However, I believe that Alpert would have responded much better to it and is why he gets more polite responses from me, despite saying many things that I think are flatly wrong.

Try being pleasant yourself and you will find other being pleasant to you. You have been on my unpleasant list for some time. Little has led me to consider changing this. However, if your concern here is truly valid, and not just whinging, then I will consider it further.

I'm sorry, but I specifically said that I was not making that claim. I'm not sure how to respond further with you on this because you are being unreasonable.

As far as I can tell, you're just really bad at logic.

And you accuse me of being an ass.

I have no problems with the other people here and on other sites. It is very strictly you.
