There, I said it: Yes Virginia, Reddit is full of shit

http://brosbeforehos.blogspot.com/2013/04/yes-virginia-reddit-is-full-of-shit.html

There, I said it. Monday, April 29, 2013. Yes Virginia, Reddit is full of shit. For me, I found a slight sense of satisfaction from the beating Reddit took for the r/FindBostonBombers. There's an interesting psychology in how people tend to trust sites like Reddit that reminds me of conspiracy theory psychology known as “motivated reasoning:". The popularity of Reddit (in particular) shows just how badly this has gotten, how much people mistrust mainstream information sources, even when the beloved "crow...

There, I said it. Tuesday, March 6, 2012. And another thing. Mocking Mormons. One of my often repeated rants has to do with how everybody has such a good laugh mocking alternative religions, like Mormonism or even Scientology, or for that matter Greek Myths, while smugly considering their own religion normal. Jesus walking on water. Jesus turning water into wine. You don't need to be a bible geek to know about these claims. And that's my point. If you're going to mock the Mormons because their book i...

There, I said it. Wednesday, January 23, 2013. Outside Capital Hill, Gun control is not as partisan as you might expect. One of the points I wanted to make in my previous post. Let me tell you a little secret: they are living among you. Yes, there are lot of people that aren't going on Piers Morgan, or Fox News, or wherever, that are, excuse the pun, gun shy. Regular old every-day folks, and it is not tied to being religiously devout. Posted by Mr Blog Too. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. One could perhaps s...

There, I said it. Thursday, December 19, 2013. Why I can't stand "Duck Dynasty". First the disclaimer: I don't watch the show. But I've seen enough of it to know I can't stand it. My wife has been telling me for a while that the Robertson clan are a homophobic and misogynistic lot, especially the father, Phil, the "Duck Commander" himself. I guess that cat is out of the bag now. Anyway, even without all that (and the incredibly disgusting reaction. I was out. Why? Not if you want ratings. There, I said it.

There, I said it. Monday, November 7, 2011. Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact. William S. Burroughs. Posted by Mr Blog Too. Friday, November 4, 2011. Ann Coulter Auto-tuned "Our Blacks Are So Much Better Than Their Blacks". Posted by Mr Blog Too. Tuesday, November 1, 2011. Ann Coulter over 2pac. A little mix I put together. Ann Coulter "Our Blacks Are So Much Better Than Their Blacks” over 2pac Lil Homies.

There, I said it. Monday, December 20, 2010. Putting faces to "these people" who voted against the 9-11 First Responders Bill. Shepard Smith and Fox News are getting all kinds of credit for their rant about Congress failing to pass the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010. However, what a lot of people didn't seem to notice is that the Fox anchors never mention that it was Republicans. Sen Lamar Alexander [R, TN]. Sen John Barrasso [R, WY]. Sen Robert Bennett [R, UT]. Sen Jon Kyl [R, AZ].

There, I said it: Peter Ferrara condemns Obama over Bengazi in Forbes

http://brosbeforehos.blogspot.com/2012/10/peter-ferrara-condemns-obama-over.html

There, I said it. Friday, October 26, 2012. Peter Ferrara condemns Obama over Bengazi in Forbes. I'm not particularly familiar with Peter Ferrara's work. His bio associates him with a bunch of right-wing groups and he is listed as a Forbes contributor since March 2011. The OP/ED piece by Ferrara that caught my attention is: Benghazi: Obama's Actions Amount To A Shameful Dereliction Of Duty. I have seen many right-wing stories accusing the press of lying on Obama's behalf on this and refusing to report on...
