2008 Gawkerites: “Always Obama truthers”

Why cant you just admit your candidate is a unprincipled republicrat

Rather than burn a newspaper, why not craft a responding op-ed? Don’t like that someone thinks that way? Change their mind. This irritates me more than it should, but I also can’t stand how en vogue it is to simply block things out of your life if you don’t agree with them. Kind of like how colleges have been…

This is what happens when people think 1984 was a manual for how to ensure that everyone thinks the same way as you.

I totally agree with you about free speech and that even the most extreme nutter has a right to speak without being harassed or imprisoned (Mike Huckabee & ISIS both have a right to print op-ed’s IMHO...I’m a free speech extremist, no matter how ugly the speech.) But this Bryan guy is a douche: he’s just regurgitating…

It weird for Gawker of all places to take issue with censorship. After all, take a look at the total uniformity of comments on any of the “hot button” issues posted here and you’ll realize that any dissenting opinions have been banned.

Agreed. Why the necessity to slash funding over a single stupid opinion piece? How about writing a counterpoint? Seems an overly abusive use of power.

I caught something Bill Maher said the other night about ‘regressive liberalism’. I think this is an extension of it. Cutting out funding and trying to stifle dissenting opinions bc they don’t belong to the narrow minded echo chamber you associate with is maddening. And no, you may not like Bill Maher, but he’s not…

I look at things like this and have to admit to myself that conservatives are not entirely wrong about some issues.

This boils down to “I don’t like that you’re utilizing this avenue for discourse in the manner it was intended.”

Ah, Wesleyan. Keep fucking up, you gorgeous institution.

You know what—he’s absolutely right. I was a decent HS cross country runner on a very good team. My score almost never counted the few times I ran top seven. But I ran my ass off every day because that’s how we did it. Five of us fought for two spots for two seasons. We ran like it meant something—because it did. I…

I think there is a difference between being a marthoner and having run a marathon. You wouldn’t call yourself a basketball player if you played in a rec league.

You can find him if you know where to look, but your best bet is in comments from 2012.

How far can he punt (his life away in jail)?

Horseshit! The offense shouldn’t get rewarded for fumbling. The endzone is different than the sidelines. I’d even argue that it’s more incongruent that the defense doesn’t get the ball EVERY time the offense fumbles it out of bounds. This stupid logic goes both ways.

YES! And a ball whose nose crosses the goal line is treated totally differently than a ball which fails to do so! RIDICULOUS!!!

No one gives a shit.

That is true but you’ll never get them to admit to being wrong. Just, “huh, I expected a white guy”.

The one-two to the throat was pretty aggressive. Like, “Imma suddenly choke you with my left, NEGATIVE... INSUFFICIENT.... HERE’S THE RIGHT TOO NOW DIE.”
