Just a writer for the "not as bad as Fox News" Huffington Post:

And don't presume that person identifies as male, either.

Of course we can't.

We can't even keep political agendas out of fucking cereal these days.

News Flash: People with extremist views on both sides of the political spectrum spew dumb shit.

We get it. Fanatic and extremist viewpoints are wrong, perpetuate awful behavior, and fan the flames. I can pick out dozens of tweets from both sides that display this dumb bullshit.

I don't get why some of the conservatrolls here can't just admit that. Like plenty of the liberals/left people here will call it out I don't get it.

He's still right about both things, even if his hypocrisy does make him look silly.

Well, did you mean the part in bold literally or just as a generic title? I think that is part of the entire game, but there are others who refuse to acknowledge the truth as well.

Terrorist attacks are inherently political, it's kind of naive to think that we can keep political biases out of something like that

A position like this from a "journalist" should be treated a little differently from a tweet from a random Internet nobody, though.

Most journalists are just random internet nobodies though. There is no reason to give their opinions more weight

Yeah, these days any keyboard jockey can be a journalist.

It's basically a meaningless title.

Literally never seen a liberal call out liberals doing this. I've seen liberals claim they don't have to. I've seen liberals DEFEND it. Never saw a liberal call it out.

At least, not on LibFAQs. Tbh, the only liberals I HAVE seen do it are Bill Maher, Suzanna Hoff Summers, and YouTube personality ShoeOnHead, all of which have been branded as alt-right for doing so.

Especially when the president himself is among those dozens. Trump is so hypocritical on Twitter there's a whole reddit that has past tweets arguing against every one of his present ones.

Glass houses, stones etc. This guy may be a "journalist" from HuffingPaint, but that's a less responsible position than POTUS, no?

Not if you believe in the concept of the Fourth Pillar.

Bill Maher was labeled as alt-right for calling out dumbshit an extreme leftist did?

Yes. He used the n-word when discussing the double-standard that exists when dealing with issues of race, and was branded as an alt-right racist for doing so. Christ, Laci Greene is being branded as alt-right for dating Chris Ray Gun.

right leaning person shoots ppl up

radical islamist blows ppl up

leftist white man shoots people

liberals: WHITE PEOPLE ARE DANGEROUS!!!

'think carefully about how you respond to this and don't fear monger against all muslims" =/= "don't politicize it"...we already know terrorists are bad people and we know many use Islam to justify their idiocy...the way some people react to Islam as a result of an attack is what directly leads to bull shit like the attack at the mosque in London yesterday. Asking people to be more careful with their words and not rile up idiots like that, i'd say, is a good thing, no?

should we point you to some of the bullshit spouted from Alex Jones, someone who is considered a "journalist" by The White House itself?

oh i was agreeing with you. He said we should hold Journalists to "higher standards", yet for some reason those "higher standards" don't seem to apply for the actual President of the US for people like him....

Ok, I've never hoped it was one or the other. On the flip side Conservatives INSTANTLY assume its a Muslim within seconds of hearing about anything...what point are you trying to make? care to actually address my post instead rambling about nonsense?

So being hypocritical is just a form of patriotism then.

you are trying to say
"my hypocrisy is ok but the other sides is not!"

which is the whole spirit of the hypocrisy

instead of seeing a tragedy for what it is, it is seen as a dig to the other side

you whole paragraph is incorrect btw, you say "we already know terrorists are bad people and we know many use Islam to justify their idiocy." many like to pretend this is not the case even to the point of saying radicals are not muslims even in the least

and the "think carefully about how you respond to this and don't fear monger against all muslim" does not apply when it is a white alt right or otherwise disturbed person

infact the meat of taking or extremely restricting guns is infact to say most if not all gun owners should be targetted, a stark contrast to the "hold it guys, lets be careful what we say about muslims" argument
infact it goes so extreme journalists fake what guns are automatic and paint other guns in unrealistic light

you need to gain some self-awareness

Where did I say my hypocrisy is ok? I just commented on one of your points. I don't think this idiots tweets are ok and i think he's an idiot. I was just explaining to you how one of your points was wrong. When I see an attack I don't pray its a white guy and not a muslim guy. But I'm sure when you see an attack you INSTANTLY think "MUSLIMS! ISLAM" and run here to say it....so I'm still not sure what point you're trying to make...All i said was people like you fuel idiots like the attacker in London yesterday. asking people to be more careful about how they say things shouldn't be attacked. You can still point out how Islam is being used by terrorists to control and justify their actions without saying it in a way that makes unstable people believe ALL MUSLIMS are the problem...the issue is most people can't seem to do that and it creates this fear of All Muslims that just leads to more issues.

That whole post showed the hypocrisy of both sides.
Did you feel I was unfair to the liberal side?
I felt I was being fair to both sides showing them both equally ignorant.

So when you addressed my point saying "but the liberal side is right!" what exactly are you trying to say other than "conservatives are hypocrites but liberals aren't!"

and this is basically just horseshoe theory

btw you say "people like you " when I don't even do that

just because I lean conservative on SOME issues you put me in the other side

that means you are a loyalist who takes sides and fights against the other side just like was said before

fyi I don't own a gun, never will and think it is wrong to shoot people
I don't go far as to say take guns away, but that is my beliefs, I am a pacifist
---

I don't care about the Liberal side or the Conservative side. My post wasn't about hypocrisy. I was just explaining how what my post said doesn't mean "Don't politicize it". Same goes for both sides. It was a separate tangent based on something you said. i just corrected what you said. Asking people to be more careful with their words DOES NOT MEAN "Don't politicize it"...Politicize it all you want. Terrorists are terrible people. Their use of Islam to cause harm is horrible...That's political. Go ahead and talk about that. I wish we could have that conversation but instead it always ends up being "BAN MUSLIMS! ELIMINATE ISLAM!"

He's an idiot...big deal.

Renowned leftist speaker Charles chlymer (a household name in most circles) made a hypocritical statement.

Welp, give it up liberals, guess the left has finally been defeated. No recovering from this blow
