I do not need an admitted liar like Carlson to falsely characterize it for me.

What's puzzling is that you frequently rail against taking things out of context. Carlson's show from last night might well represent the absolute epitome of this practice. He extracted a few select snippets from 44,000 hours of footage of the Capitol riots to support his concocted story about how peaceful and respectful the MAGAMorons were that day. Even though you claim not to have watched it, the message sure seems to have resonated with you.

As I said in my post, I didn't watch the show, but the video elements are available online. It's not even hard to find them. And it figures coming from the left that asking questions is evidence of bad faith.

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth - as usual - with your post above. You complain that Fox only aired "snippets" of January 6th video, yet the fact that we've seen the same short video segments from Jan 6th on national news played over and over again for 2 years doesn't seem to register with you.

You claim that these segments somehow "resonated with me", yet you've not watched any of it and feel comfortable categorically claiming that the video supports a "concocted" story....I guess because that's how some other media outlet characterized it for you?

Among other things that are funny, you've chided me for citing a CBS news story in a prior post, but there you go citing CBS News in post 13 in this thread. That's hilarious.

Nothing particularly "resonated" with me from the video segments I've watched. Some of the questions in my prior post - the questions you don't like - I've actually posted about before. I'm sorry asking legitimate questions bugs you. You must have hated the Socratic method of learning.

On this board you've got as much credibility as Carlson. I had a much longer post but I deleted most of it. You and your bullshit ain't worth the bandwidth.

You have no idea what I believe, regardless of your spurious "assumption" above.

Leave it to you to call Tucker Carlson's "just asking questions" sophistry the Socratic method.

The Socratic Method "is a dialogue between teacher and students, instigated by the continual probing questions of the teacher, in a concerted effort to explore the underlying beliefs that shape the students views and opinions." To buy into your idiotic premise, one would have to belief that Carlson (and you) are the teachers and I'm the student (and that I actually have something to learn from either of you). Moreover, it presumes Carlson's (and your) questions are genuinely probing and not bad faith rhetorical bullshit.

Unless you're taking after Fox News and spewing shit you know full well to be lies, your many posts on this board reveal quite a bit about what you believe. In short, you either faithfully believe all the dishonest bullshit spewed by the GOP and its captive media sources or feel duty-bound to defend what you know to be their dishonest bullshit.

Sadly the party got out of hand when they found out the Trump was not invited and they proceeded to trash the place. Nancy called 911 and no one answered because its was a day off for the Capitol Police. In desperation she called the White House to ask Trump to come over, but Trump was busy packing the classified documents for his trip to Florida, so he said no can do.

So in the end who caused the storming of the Capitol? Nancy for throwing her party.

Why did the place the trashed? Capitol Police were off duty that day.

See this was all a big misunderstanding form a party gone wild.

Makes about as much sense as the shit F. Carlson threw against the wall.

Fascinating. This corresponds exactly with my observations in message 27 above. It's rather sad, though, the thought that a person can post on a board for years and years and never give any reliable indications of what they believe.

Amusing that Whell “knows” with certainty that we’re a bunch of “lefties”, but we’re not permitted to make any assumptions about his idiotic beliefs. You’re Always a laughingstock, Whell!

From Wiki:

The terms "left" and "right" appeared during the French Revolution of 1789 when members of the National Assembly divided into supporters of the king to the president's right and supporters of the revolution to his left.

So the lefties by definition are revolutionaries while the righties are sheeple.
No wonder they coronated Trump as their king, believes what he tells them and sends him money when he asks (a form of taxation).

[Oerets]

When running into a member of this cult of sheeple who are so upset and use the terms like "Woke" as a insult. Or spew unfounded facts as truth. Saying they are entitled to their beliefs.

Where they themselves are in a cult with the requirement of complete adherence to the cult. Have to be politically correct to stay in the the party! Or to be then shunned ostracized and attached endlessly.

Everything bad they say is happening to or in the country now, is what they believe whole heartily. Willing to make it happen just to be right. They are the very ones who watch or listen to the propaganda broadcasted with the suspended use of the prefrontal cortex!

Little hope getting through.

In your post, were you referring to the questions I had asked in the post you were responding to, or Carlson's questions? Either way, its interesting that you object to someone asking questions about your chosen narrative.
