3/5 I miss Berkeley and the whole "free speech is only for people who
think like us" mentality. Especially when it's a bunch of racist
thugs screaming it the loudest.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20020305-21028866.htm
\_ i can never remember if the post or times is the Moonie
mouthpiece, it all looks the same in lynx, anyway
\_ The Washington Times is a front for the Moonies. Their first
editor quit in a public press conference saying such.
\_ Uhm, where is there anything moony related in this article?
Did you even read it or is this the standard motd knee-jerk
anti-WT noise spewing forth again?
\_ I am responding to his question which one is Moony crony
\_ Which still has nothing to do with the article.
\_ I can read that dipshit, I'm answering the other ?
\_ It has to do with the credibility of the source.
\_ The WT is definitely the Fox News of newspapers. However,
Berkeley's reaction to that militant Israeli and the city
council's reaction to Dean putting remarks on her web page
regarding the antiwar resolution support the claim. Free
speech is reserved for the liberals, in the minds of some
in this city.
\_ NY Times good. Washington Post good.
NY Post a joke. Washington Times a joke.
\_ What's wrong with Fox News? Fox >> CNN >> M$NBC for decent
reporting. CNN has reporters all over the planet so they
get stories out first but otherwise they're crap.
at the end of this article:
Last spring, conservative writer David Horowitz's speech
about reparations ended abruptly when a member of the audience
yelled at Mr. Horowitz for placing an ad in the campus
newspaper critical of the idea of black reparations.
Which is incredibly misleading. The whole point of
horowitz being on campus was to talk about his ad,
and I think he fled abruptly just so that he could claim
later that evil berkeley liberals forced him out of
Berkeley (which he did). - danh
\_ Were you there? There was a problem with his ad?
I'll give you an example - have you compared the
amount of time threads from liberal sites stay
up on the MOTD vs conservative. I have
deliberately posted both to see.
\_ yes I was there. horowitz's ad campaign was a giant
scam, reperations for slavery isn't that hot of an issue,
but college newspapers all over the country were
suckered in by it, the most visible case was the daily cal.
i get the feeling that the major newspapers are getting
all of their info about the mecha vs cal patriot
fight from a really biased reporter inside of the daily
cal and they're not going around checking with any
sources, but i can't prove it. whichever daily cal
reporter who keeps mentioning the cal patriot and
the horowitz talk in the same articles obviously
wasn't actually there and is asking only the cal patriot
about what happened at it. - danh
\_ I hate the Daily CAL!!!! total POS - rory
\_ what a shock--URL's intended to piss off intelligent
people get deleted!
\_ Leftist URLs dont piss off intelligent people. They
appeal to us for their humor value. --conservative
\_ freerepublic URL's appeal only to morons--it
become.
has nothing to do with their politics.
\_ Ask yourself why the military is
overwhelmingly conservative.
\_ Nice argument. Conservatism is good
because people in the military are
conservative.
\_ I was once a empathic liberal.
Eventually, you realize that
culture not predicated on
responsibility and self-reliance
is doomed to destroy itself.
You wake
up and realize how screwed up
most of our institutions have
become. Life really is black
and white.
\_ Bill Clinton - self-reliant,
self-made man. George Bush -
daddy's boy.
\_ It's not about an idiot like Horowitz.
\_ why am i the only person who ever signs their name around
here? damn. -danh
\_ Because you are the only person in this debate
saying anything worth putting one's name behind.
(yes, i know it was a rhetorical question)
\_ Because it's the motd and it doesn't matter *who* is
saying a thing, it matters *what*. The issue of *who*
only clouds the topic with personal attacks (as always).
Knowing who posted something doesn't make their point any
stronger or weaker. Posting one's name is merely an
option most choose not to take.
\_ ok that's a valid point. i just think it's funny
every other post is unsigned! - danh |
