You mention Ann Coulter under Michael Savage entry, she should probably get her own entry as well, just because she is probably going to come up a LOT. Another thing that should probably be mentioned is freerepublic and conservapedia, along with links to their mock threads. Also, I present the Boondocks with the Real Ann Coulter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1seThIG34R8 For swearing, and because it's, well, "The Boondocks". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boondocks_%28TV_series%29 I applaud you for making this thread, and hope that in 20 years we can close it as Fox goes off the air. Hey, I can dream can't I? Also, I noticed a couple of spelling errors in your post: tot instead of to in the first paragraph, and "Barrack Obama" in the second paragraph.

Gazpacho posted:Remember Rush did the NFL desk for a while then lost the job for talking race. That indicates to me that he's not quite faking and doesn't have much chance of "moving on". Also a guy with that kind of success tends to take on debts. My theory is that Rush started out just saying the rhetoric and not really believing it (maybe he believed bits of it), but after repeating the rhetoric for 20+ years and being supported and praised with little to no pushback he now actually does believe what he's saying. Essentially, he's turned into a "dittohead" himself after listening to himself for so long.

Zwabu posted:I gorged on right wing media yesterday, listening to Rush, checking out every right wing site I could think of (Daily Caller, American Spectator, National Review Online, Drudge etc. - couldn't even bring myself to go to Hot Air though). I absolutely love the "They outnumber us now" talking point. I heard Bill O'Reilly saying "The White Estabishment is now the minority" and I actually agreed with him. What made it so funny to me was that Bill O'Reilly was saying it with such fear and horror, like "Oh poo poo, we're now the minority, what do we do now?" I live in San Antonio, Texas, so I've been "outnumbered" my whole life, but unlike O'Reilly, Fox News, et al, I think it's great. America is fast becoming a racially diverse country, and whites will soon be a minority. Living in San Antonio, this is already true for me, so all the fear over what I think of as normal is absolutely hilarious.

jadebullet posted:So my father and I always seem to get into debates about the state of the media. He listens to conservative radio, reads the drudge report, and watches Fox News religiously. He was absolutely obsessed with Glen Beck, viewing him as 100% right. One argument you could make is that the way that Matt Drudge chooses to emphasize certain articles and de-emphasize others is what causes the site to have a bias. It's not the links themselves that are biased, it's Matt Drudge's presentation of them. Argue that if he just posted pure text links with no emphasis on any one article, then the site could be considered unbiased. (Obviously it would still be biased for many other reasons, but hopefully this argument will help your dad see that Drudge is, at the very least, not an unbiased source of news.)

In regards to "coming apart at the seams" I think of it using an analogy: the Republican Party is a large block of concrete, and in this last election it was smashed with a sledgehammer. The block now has huge, visible cracks in it, and is internally fractured, but it's stable so long as no weight is put on it. Unfortunately for the Republicans, the 2014 and especially 2016 elections will be putting a hell of a lot of weight on the block, and will quite possibly shatter it. Come on, shattering!

Marlamaid Swordhand posted:Rush decided to rail against socialism and what is taught in schools by announcing that he's writing fanfiction about his tea company mascot. Sorry Rush, "American history for kids" was already done very well by a cartoon series I remember watching called Liberty's Kids, which chronicled the American revolution. I thought it showed a really good historical view of the American Revolution, it even touched on issues of Loyalists vs Patriots and slavery. Of course it was produced by PBS so to conservatives it's evil communist propaganda.

On the topic of conservative comedians, what about Jeff Dunham? He was raised in a conservative background, and his puppets are pretty obvious racial/ethnic stereotypes, but I'll admit I still find him funny. Don't hurt me. I think it's because, as noted, he got into ventriloquism because he liked it and to make people laugh, not to push a conservative ideology. I'll admit I might be oblivious, but here's an example of a scene that made me laugh:Scene between Jeff, Peanut, and José posted:Jeff: Look, you're just gonna have to be nicer to José.

Huh, I guess I'm lucky, my parents are both through and through Democrats; hell, my dad has realized that's he become more radically left after retiring, and he's embraced it. About the only problem is that's he's got a streak of "That new rap poo poo, it's not even music, I miss the good old days of rock", but he's good on pretty much everything else, so I don't say anything. All three of us vote straight-ticket D, and that's the plan for the foreseeable future, unless the Republican party somehow becomes not-insane. (Good loving luck.) Since we live in Texas, you can chalk us up as the white part of the push to turn Texas blue. We're small in numbers, but yes, we do exist. Ironically, living in San Antonio means that our votes for Democrats actually count somewhat: we all voted for both House Representative Joaquin Castro and our Mayor Julian Castro, who both won their races.

The show goes after liberals like in the above-mentioned examples but Mega-Lo-Mart is a pretty harsh criticism of the effect Walmart has had on small communities, and there was an episode that lampooned and criticized evangelical megachurches. My friend told me that there was a late season episode with a remarkable non-lovely moral about gentrification but I haven't seen it. And it's not on Netflix anymore Basically, Hank just wanted to have fun doing a haunted house on Halloween, and have Bobby go trick-or-treating, but the evangelical woman leads a crusade against Halloween and the "Satanists" and manages to get Halloween canceled. She also gets all the kids to go to her "Hallelujah House" instead, which is the whole nine yards of "sex before marriage leads to diseases and death", a family with an ape sitting at the table and the (strawman) father saying "Darwin said we were chimps, so meet your ape grandfather", and all that other stupid evangelical bullshit. Hank hates it, so he dresses up in his old devil costume and leads a trick-or-treat protest against her, and basically all the parents join in and go get their kids from the Hell House, and go out trick-or-treating as families. It's one of my favorite episodes actually, just because the evangelical lady is unambiguously presented as wrong; everyone hates Halloween getting canceled, and none of the kids have any fun at the Hell House before they're rescued by their parents. Oh, and part of how the woman gets Halloween cancelled is she claims that Satanists killed her cat, when in reality she ran it over herself because she was too preoccupied with her "crusade" against Halloween to even notice.
