Liberalism and the Lack of Self Awareness: Don Lemon "My show is not liberal"

[CBradSmith]

Know how "we" know it's a sickness @Syskatine @Pokeabear ?

Because your absurdities stare us in the face daily.

The wounded child shrieks from the corner.

See, lack of self awareness. You're afflicted by it. Your liberalism has metastasized into something worse.

Your statement only makes sense to you and, apparently, Sys.

To paraphrase Bill Clinton: I suppose it depends on what the meaning of the word liberal is,

 

[2012Bearcat]

Liberals have not taken a massive shift to the left. They have always had these beliefs but did there best to hide them in order to sound rational. The election of Trump caused liberals to emotionally meltdown and let their true beliefs come out.

Brad, don't summon me again. I don't care what Don Lemon or Fox says.

Publicly traded corporations hire people to sit around and come up with shit to motivate you to keep watching. They make money if you watch their 24/7 outrage and here you are passing along their stories about another corporation that makes money if you watch their 24/7 outrage.

If you want to engage me, create a perspective and identity that's authentically your own instead of regurgitating what some corporate spinmaster has injected into your head. It's boring, you're boring, and the few moments I have to spend on here aren't going to be diverted to a FOX narrative (or any other for-profit corporation's narrative, either).

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that Sys is calling out Brad for parroting a narrative?

I think Trump's election helped to push them over the top, but they started showing their true colors with Obama's election. They felt they no longer needed to hide their true feelings. Obama gave them confidence they had reached the goal of total dominance, that conservatism was finished and they no longer needed to couch their language in doublespeak. It was exhilarating to them! They dropped all pretense because they thought they had achieved total victory. Trump's election brought them crashing down and has sent them into a tailspin of insanity. But don't assume liberalism is dead. It will reinvent itself quicker than you might imagine. Conservatives should not follow the liberals' lead in thinking they have achieved victory. For one thing Trumpism is far removed from conservatism. Conservatives should not get cocky. That's the path to the same fate liberals followed when they anointed Hillary as the second coming.

I will say Don Lemon is right. He’s a leftist, not a free speech liberal.

Did Michael Savage teach you the difference?

It’s truly amazing.

Quick -- a guy in Idaho thought independently. Ya'll go put a stop to it!

 

[MegaPoke]

In spite of your fantasy that I’m taught what to think, I’m not. And I never listen to Michael Savage.

You are a cartoon parody at this point.

Where'd you learn the difference then? Rush? Who? You damned sure didn't come up with that between your own two ears. I DARE you to try and say you did. You're parroting something you heard. From right wing media.

Though I agree with you in general, he did make a solid point with his post.

 

[SMemmett]

"NPC's" telling "NPC's" that the other is a "NPC" is all any political board is. If you read the internet you are at least to some degree parroting someone else's thought processes, even if it is subconscious. Own it and try to fix it, stop trying to project. This goes for everyone including myself. Watching you guys accuse the other of being the biggest thought regurgitation machine is pretty funny though.

I think it's impossible to be exposed to tweets, radio, 24/7 political news and not be consciously or subconsciously swayed. But every time someone posts a tweet or posts about a cable news network on here (and for some of you that is every single thread you start), we all die a little bit.

You're embarrassing yourself.

He talks to himself ALL THE TIME.

You can only say “what?” so many time before you just have to shake your head and ignore the situation.

Some troof to this. There's gotta be a distinction in this analysis between conveying substantive fact vs. conveying spin and opinion.

Read this very closely: BULLSHIT.

Check in with Fox and give us some more commentary.

And you're still a #bornfollower.

Everyone, read this closely: The #bornfollower/Brad's of the world view not following the herd as inherently embarrassing. This will limit your life. If you guys want to be a successful entrepreneur and have great relationships you can't be a born follower. You have to be independent minded and have the confidence to actually rely on your OWN mind instead of someone in NYC.

One plank that identifies your (the royal you) self awareness manifests itself in how you treat people.

Leftists have grown mean...and they think that's okay.

 

[MegaPoke]

This is 100% true. Don Lemon is not a liberal. He's a leftist.

But see, that kind of complicated in-depth observation is literally impossible to arrive at on your own.

It has to have been fed to you by a conservative boogyman according to @Syskatine. Bullshit, he will say.

You're still being pitiful.

However, when a troll starts bitching that we're mean.... well, good. Dems need to be meaner and tougher.

Is Leftism your religion or do you embrace traditional Judeo-Christian values?

I'm not in the hive and don't adopt the nomenclature of conservative media. What's "leftism"?

@100TonsofOrangeFury this should likely answer your question.

@Syskatine No, libs/leftists do not need to be meaner. And lol at tougher.

Judeo-Christian?

I laughed out loud. He thinks anything that doesn't come from ThinkProgress, Rachel Mannow, and The View comes from a conservative boogeyman because that's what he's been programmed to think. "Unaware and compliant" is what the Party demands so that's exactly what he delivers.

You don't have to look any further than Biden's sudden abandonment of his support for the Hyde Amendment to see the control the leftists have over the Democratic Party. The leftists howled so he immedately adjusted his principles accordingly. Can you imagine the hurtful language and endless screeching he would have had to endure if he didn't comply?

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

Don Lemon, Al Sharpton and Samuel L. Jackson are in it for the comfortable life styles and bucks. They are well aware the Democrat Party is the Party of the KKK and Jim Crow. They know war zones in Newark, Camden, East St. Louis, Baltimore, Gary, Watts, South Chicago and East Cleveland have been run by Democrats for more than half a century.

Throw Lemon and Sharpton TV shows nobody watches and they'll keep pumping the Democrats. To heck with suffering black Americans.

No way the crazy libs on this board are real.

It’s got to be some conservative poster on here just entertaining himself day after day by saying the most asinine things he can possibly think of just to get a reaction.

There’s no other explanation.
