America's favorite pastime has shifted from baseball to hate.

"I'm enjoying this new momentum of the media suddenly pushign the idea that she's whithering away from Parkinson's. I don't really believe it myself, but whatever it takes to make payback for *insert previous sin here*.
Political discourse successfully lowered even further. Repeat ad infinitum.

Prove you wrong? Are you effing serious? You're blatantly displaying some of the worst possible stereotyping - assuming shared traits on the part of a group with very little in common - and making racists look like they make fine distinctions in comparison.

Fascinating rationalization. I'm sure the people ripping "fratboys" feel just as good about lumping other groups of disparate people together to criticize them.

Jesus christ this is idiotic.

That is quite a literal reading of it.

His angle is that they're most human when they're in distress, he knew at some point they'd get troubled enough (human enough) with his spree to give it up.

What does the guy's behavior have to do with fraternities? When did fratboy become some generalized insult?

Everyone seems to think their candidate is being grilled while the other is getting a rose petal path laid for them.

Can't win is right - if he challenges falsehoods, we'll nail him for challenging one person more than the other. If he doesn't he's a passive dupe.
Here, he's a debate moderator, not a judge, not an investigative reporter. It seems crazy to expect him to challenge every perceived falsehood - not only is that not…

John Oliver's advertising budget must be extraordinary.

Yeah, but compared to the idiot warmonger I thought he was…..not sure I've ever hated anyone so much. He's probably a nice guy who had bad friends.

GWB is much more tolerable in retrospect than most of the people he was surrounded by.

The problem is that being part of one side or the other - especially taking some sort or pride in it - eventually leads to the party telling you what to think. You have to sever your associations before your ego will allow you to take a balanced look at the situation….not saying you personally, everyone.

Its completely awesome to watch the jokes going one way given credit while the ones going the other way are lazy or weird.

The only truly noble stance on the Kaepernick matter is to sit on the internet and judge the people judging him.
