Justice Scalia and the Devil Spook the Liberal Media
Townhall.com ^ | Oct 14, 2013 | Michael Brown

According to Cenk Uygur, co-host of the Young Turks and a self-described fervent agnostic, “We have a lunatic on the court.” He is speaking of Justice Antonin Scalia who stated in an interview with New York magazine that he believes in the existence of the devil. In the words of Uygur, that is “cuckoo for cocoa puffs.”

Really?

I’m not angered. Why are you so quick to judge my response

Well, let's see: Quoting you regarding me in this thread:

"Have you a link for that utter piece of excrement or just forgetting which way a toilet works."
"You don’t believe in life and you don’t know a thing about living. Take your misery elsewhere."
"Do you have a job at the Times or just play one on the interweb? You have nothing but utter contempt for this Country and haven't a clue who makes it happen."
"You haven’t said a damn thing except you an atheist. Thanks for playing."

Gee, how could I ever have interpreted that as anything but a loving response to someone with which you have a gentle disagreement?

I find your stand to be ridiculous and without merit.

I asserted that the left is clueless regarding Reagan's popularity...what's ridiculous and without merit about that?

You even posted some crazy meme from the left regarding 1984 and the Reagan landslide.

What I actually did was illustrate how the left doesn't understand how Reagan won a landslide victory, because liberal elites don't have a clue how the average American thinks. What's "crazy" about that?

I hope your world is well and God may soon be a part of it.

My world is indeed well. As for that latter...we'll have to see, won't we? I would love it if it turned out that there was a loving God, but I've simply seen no evidence that any such thing exists. Note that that doesn't mean that He/She/It doesn't exist...just that at this time insufficient evidence has been presented. If something isn't falsifiable, I seen no reason to give its existence credence.

For more thoughts on this line of reasoning, I suggest Carl Sagan's essay, "The Dragon in my Garage".

We all know that C.S. Lewis found God, may you do the same.

Indeed he did, or (alternatively) he thought he did. I'm quite familiar with Lewis, having read a number of his books.

God Bless

Thank you.

Carl Sagan?

I didn't care for his politics, but his book "The Demon-Haunted World" was dead on when it came to superstition, fraud, and pseudoscience. Someone can be right about one subject while being wrong about another.

I feel like the hero in spy movie being interrogated by the Bad Guys...

As for the question: I'm not sure what a global warming "truther" is (isn't the term "truther" normally applied to 9/11 conspiracists?), but in any case I think the case for anthropogenic global warming is at best horrendously overblown, and perhaps virtually nonexistent.

Happy now, or is that too nuanced an answer?

Liberalism, homosexuality and islam are all proof of satanic influence in the world. This explains why these 3 “movements” all appear to be in cahoots - they all ultimately work for the same boss.

The Young Turks have no real audience. Just teenagers on youtube. They actually have a pay service. I was talking to some college kid about how he paid $10 a month to watch this crap.

Encyclopedia Dramatica
“The Young Turds is an advice channel on Youtube for trolls of political online forums. It is Sirius’s first case of doing it for the lulz. The Young Turks claims to be the first Internet TV news show and now the Largest Online News Show in the World, despite the only competition being 13 year olds vlogging about the world gone and dun goofed.”

Also they actually compared Limbaugh getting 10,20 or 30 million listeners at one time to these Turk morons getting tens of millions of views on all their videos.

Ive watched some of their videos in the same way I watch Media Matters or Right Wing Watch watching the high quality video highlights of Rush and others.

Here’s the Dog the Bounty Hunter Rant with 700,000 views. Are people clicking on that link because of these internet pundits or because they wanted to see what Dog said?
