It's like watching retards fucking. Everyone is surrounded people who are all of the same mindset, that they don't have any guage to tell them when they are being loony. In fact, it's encouraged, which just creates more insanity.
The last couple days there was a thread about how they can take down FOX. A logical start to a thread. But the result was great. Don't serve FOX employees if you work in a service industry - cancel their accounts if you can. Don't patronize stores that serve FOX employees. Ostracize them socially. Find out where their wives and children work, and tell their co-workers and other students that they support FOX. Play loud music outside their house at 2AM. This was not a joke. To their credit, the vast majority of those in the thread were saying how retarded/illegal/evil the idea was, but still.
They also are assured that a) Ken Lay faked his own death b) Bush supported it c) Ken Lay is living in Paraguay right now since the Bush family "coincidentally" bought land their recently.
Everything is immediately a conspiracy which immediately involves Bush, who is both the dumbest man on the planet, yet Satan incarnate who has control over everything on earth and is conspiring to take over the planet and kill all the weak, infirmed, and those who oppose him.
It's just unfettered insanity that is so extreme that one tiny shred of logic is surrounded by miles of conspiracies and hatred.
But reading it is different. I can't listen to Hannity or O'Reilly or the Sunday shows because everyone just screams at each other.
Listening to Rush or Franken is annoying because they are condescending and unlike reading words on a page, I can't pause in the middle and fact check and find out just how wrong they are.
