Another jaw dropping post from our friends at FR.

To be filed in the folder labeled WTF?

To: rface
This is true only if the "information" you're getting is from leftist sources. Most of the liberals I've known are dreadfully insular in terms of where they get their info and thus, tend to know only half of every story--the leftist half.

Free Republic is a good contrast. Articles get posted here from everywhere, including sources directly hostile to conservatism. Liberals can't even be in the same zip code as an information source they don't agree with.

Which are posted with a: (barf alert) so they know to hate it. But then again, we do the same thing.

3. Well anybody with an account over there should start linking Juan Cole

for analysis about Iraq, Paul Krugman about the economy, and all sorts of "diverse" links to see how well their heads hold steam when faced with them.

I'd love to see this link posted on the Freeper intellectual mind field.

4. That's nothing

Take a look at this doozy from IMdB. It is from the message board for the movie "DC 9/11":

Over the last few months, I have noticed a lot more people were bashing Bush than supporting him. It seemed like no one liked him anymore. I realized that liberals are more open to speak their minds where as conservatives are more quiet about things. I may be wrong, but it was just an observation.

Okey dokey.

ROFL! :rofl:

Those guys are an endless source of comedy.

How is Freak Republic a good contrast? All the articles there are either from Sludge, Faux, NewsMax, or WorldNutDaily.

8. The Washington Post sued Freerepublic to prevent it from linking

to articles on the Post's web site. Any other mainstream news source that contradicts their world view (NY Times, LA Times etc.) are dismissed out of hand as "liberal MSM media." Most critical articles are greeted with calls to expell its poster.

7. I thought the greatest gift parents could give their kids was love?

Have I been doing it wrong all this time?

Only thing that needed said on this thread was that insane sig line.

9. Let's just call that site "Projections R Us" and get it overwith.

Did this jerk find the left sources? I thought sources were just sources. Reporters/bloggers can have a slant, but not sources.
