I’m fairly moderate and shudder at a lot of the ideas proposed around here, but this is perhaps the most shockingly stupid comment I’ve ever read on this site...

I think Mcraven offers a few other things as well. Besides nullifying the “weak on defense” argument, it’d really make Trump look foolish, slinging protracted insults at a special forces veteran. His base would no doubt lap it up, but moderate R’s and ex servicemen and women might reconsider their vote. I’d also…

Everybody is blaming moderate Dems for being in the pocket of this or that special interest, what about the possibility that her politics are simply too progressive for flyover country? Jake Tapper asked her how she planned to pay for all her programs, and she didn’t have an answer. If the Green New Deal and Medicare…

The same free speech protections that allow these D-bags to make tasteless parade floats also allow you to take part in the Women’s March. The same protections that allow Westboro Baptist Church to hold signs that say God Hates Fags also allows Kathy Griffin to post a photo of Trump’s decapitated head in her hand.…

Just because we never should have gone there doesn’t mean it’s okay to just cut bait and run. As the clearly more sophisticated among us realize, it’s possible to believe seemingly contradictory ideas can both have merit. Nothing good will come of this abrupt exit, as evidenced by Putin being in favor of it. 

It’s shocking to me that these posters are so eager to earn a pat on the head from HamNo that they are willing to defend vaping in order to get it. Besides being potentially very harmful, vape pens make their owners look like absolute idiots. Of the highest order. If Jersey Shore were still on the air, every single…

Teens aren’t allowed to take part in studies on vaping, as they aren’t legally old enough to buy them. Of course you knew that though, since you’re clearly a researcher working in the field. I mean, you must be a researcher, since you can quickly identify bad methodology, and you have no doubt implemented your own…

According to the Yale School of Medicine, they are. But your rebuttal is no doubt extremely well sourced

If there is ever an award for mediocrity in journalism, perhaps called the Chris Cillizza Award, I think the hacks at Splinter are gonna have it locked up. To be fair, HamNo is the odds-on favorite to win, what with his impressive CV comprised of such luminous screeds as “House Available for Major Asshole,” and…

Good luck selling “forceful downward redistribution of wealth” to the swing voters of fly-over country...

I particularly enjoy the fact that you are arguing PETA’s futility in the same space where Hamilton Nolan is proposing burning Christmas trees as a form of protest...

This woman is a registered Republican who voted for Paxton. Is Nolan really arguing that the AG wants to suppress the vote of a woman who pulled the lever for him? 

Yeah, lumping all the Florida grandma’s who voted Trump into the same category as the Synagogue shooter simply weakens the label...

And they say good journalism is dead...

Mike, you clearly don’t know the first thing about motorcycle racing, which is fine, but somebody needs to educate you, so I guess it’ll be me. Racers don’t die (typically) due to falling off their bikes, they die because they are hit by other riders, or they hit a fence or other stationary objects. Simoncelli, Craig…

I tried sharing this source with another poster, Splinter wouldn’t publish it. They probably won’t publish this either, despite the fact that it was authored by Oregon Live, not exactly a bastion of conservative journalism. Anyway...

Antifa attacked and assaulted a guy who was marching alongside them in Portland. He was a Bernie Sanders supporter carrying an American Flag. They called it a fascist symbol, then clubbed him over the head.

Pretty sure it was Antifa goons who attacked a Bernie Sanders supporter for committing the crime of carrying an American flag in Portland. Conservatives don’t have to fabricate a link between Antifa and violence, Antifa are all too happy to establish the link themselves. And I’m a Clinton voter, I just think Antifa…

Im pretty sure when a white male kills somebody, we blame the gun he used and the gun makers who produced the gun...

“The obesity epidemic is a myth...”
