Freerepublic is "Radical" says MSNBC guest, Buckhead mentioned
MSNBC ^ | 9/21/04 | HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity

Freerepublic was just called "radical" by a guest on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Buckhead was mentioned again. They are also discussing conspiracy theories, blogs, and the usual chatter on Dan Rather's nosedive into silliness.

I guess a strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution passes for radical these days. At least at MSNBC.

These days right-of-center state socialism passes for radical. Olbermann would get the vapors and faint dead away at the ideas of the founding fathers.

Comments anyone?
 
I got picked up by a limo (whoo-hoo!) and got a little gift bag with a coffee cup and coffee and some chocolate-covered macadamia nuts.
 
Alas and alack!! You've taken the first step to the dark side of pundit celebrity. Next you'll be seen at all the swank insider parties, and your analysis will go to crap, 'cause you can't write the truth about your friends.

Anyone who routinely portrays groups of other human beings as rats is an extremist. It's part of eliminationist rhetoric so characteristic of the worst kind of totalitarians.

Gee, I speachless! Somebody's gotten it right for a change!!

radical

\Rad"i*cal\, a. [F., fr. L. radicalis having roots, fr. radix, -icis, a root. See Radix.] 1. Of or pertaining to the root; proceeding directly from the root.

2. Hence: Of or pertaining to the root or origin; reaching to the center, to the foundation to the ultimate sources to the principles, or the like: original; fundamental; thorough-going; unsparing; extreme; as, radical evils; radical reform; a radical party.

The most determined exertions of that authority, against them, only showed their radical independence. --Burke.

Usage: Radical, Entire. These words are frequently employed as interchangeable in describing some marked alternation in the condition of things. There is, however, an obvious difference between them. A radical cure, reform, etc., is one which goes to the root of the thing in question; and it is entire, in the sense that, by affecting the root, it affects in a appropriate degree the entire body nourished by the root; but it may not be entire in the sense of making a change complete in its nature, as well as in its extent. Hence, we speak of a radical change; a radical improvement; radical differences of opinion; while an entire change, an entire improvement, an entire difference of opinion, might indicate more than was actually intended. A certain change may be both radical and entire, in every sense.

I think Freerepublic fits this description perfectly. Yes truth is very radical !

You mean HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity is not your real name???
Radical, huh? Gee, I hate when they re-categorize everyone. I have to keep scorecards....

Let's see -- the liberals aren't liberals anymore, they're progressives -- they think that "liberal" somehow got a bad reputation. Go figure.

We conservatives are no longer conservatives. During President Bush's first term, we have been called neo-cons because, I guess, it's cute and sound-bitey. No real definition, though. My grandfather was conservative when he got off the boat in the 'teens. What is the starting date -- you know, to make it official-like?

Now I'm a radical. Gee -- why did I think it would smell much worse than this?

And I think this rocket surgeon has figured out that if he mentions FR in a taunting manner, his ratings go off the chart. Well, for him, anyway.

Did they spell "FRee Republic" correctly?

Damn straight we are radical! We are the puppies that will not stay in the kennel! We think outside the box and believe in the Constitution, thus rendering us non-PC radicals!

Proud to be a FReeper!

EAGLES UP!

The context has some significance along with the intent of the author in question. Calling conservatives "extremists" or "radicals" has generally been intended as a slur when uttered by liberals, socialists, left-wing types, and Malthusian secular humanists.

The term "Radical Right" was used by Richard Hofstadter and others to try to discredit and delegitimize the conservative movement in the 1950s. The theme was picked up again by Hillary Clinton and the Clintiguloids during the 1990s in an orchestrated campaign to spread hysteria about a "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy."

A search at www.google.com will yield sufficent examples:

"Is there a recognized source of wisdom on this?"

The Bible?

Actually, it's not very clear on how to choose a mate - only on the "two shall become one" rule. But, God evidently blessed - or at least allowed - many variations.

Having been married to for 30 years, and since I hear a lot of stories at work and read a lot in fiction - which can be a source of common "knowledge," I still stick with the "he or she makes you feel like a better person and you each feel that you're the lucky one." And lots of luck.

I have access to documents proporting to state that Keith O. Is a child molesting perv. that enjoys an occasional romp throw the barn yard for sexual release.


NOTE: My investigative reporting skills ranks on the professional level of CBS News/Dan Rather/60 Minutes.
While the documents may not be able to be authenticated, I believe the story to be true. If Keith was a real Journalist he would address the accusations and stop trying to attack the messanger.
