So we don't have a leftie equivalent to Alex Jones. Glad we got that both sides bullshit sorted.
Crazy people do not all act like Alex Jones. Jill Stein is a 9/11 conspiracy person. That is crazy in my book. Does not mean she is as unhinged as Alex, and not all crazy people act like Alex.
So we don't have a leftie equivalent to Alex Jones. Glad we got that both sides bullshit sorted.
This is a very dumb argument. It is incontrovertible truth that conspiracy theories do not have nearly the breadth or depth of purchase on the left that they do on the right. Finding a left wing personality or two who believe nutty things is just an attempt to #bothsides or to muddy the waters. The fundamental point of the thread, that the right wing is consumed by conspiracy nonsense, is true and we all know it.
Alex Jones is not mainstream. He will never appear as a disinguished or respected panelist on CNN or write an opinion piece for NYT, or AP or WAPO. He is dismissed, defined and recognized as a fringe conspiracy theory nutjob. He has limited reach as a talk show radio personality, which limits both his appeal and exposure.So, reading comprehension isn't a strong suit for you or Star, I take it?
Don't know the meaning of mainstream? No, Star failed completely to point out any mainstream "left" conspiracy theories.
You should reread what he said. He did not equate Jill Stein to Alex Jones. He said that of the Left, the Green party is where crazies end up.
You are trying to put his comments in the context of a question he is not trying to answer.
Ok let’s dance. Define the objective criteria by which you will establish equivalence.I want the equivalent to Alex Jones, as you did the whole "both sides" pissdance. So you admit that there's no leftie equivalent to the unhinged reprobate with mercury poisoning.

I mean he never said he did or that there was. Someone asked for a mainstream example of someone on the left pushing something like anti-vax so he did. You jumped in and asked which he does not think there can be an answer. I think that is weird that you are pressing him for that answer when he clearly does not think there is one. That makes this seem weird and makes me wonder why you want him to do so.
OK. We had this discussion. Jill Stein is FRINGE not mainstream as evidenced by not being able to run as or in the Democratic party.
The MAINSTREAM left has done a fairly good job at keeping the fringe out.
The MAINSTREAM right is virtually all fringe now With even Fox News running conspiratard stories as fact, denying real fact and featuring quacks like the Food Babe while the rest of the real media has long ago discredited her.
This thead is now "World of Bat Shit."
Please post all the examples of mainstream right-wing media, politician and political pundit bat shit you can find.
Because sometimes evidence is a gish best served galloped.
The creepiest one I've heard recently--and generally I have removed all such nonsense from my FB feed--is veiled references to "sleeper cells" and how they (and the media, and "globalists") are the reasons that there is so much hate and divisiveness. This from a former law enforcement officer who says things like "this stuff was known to us but I can't really say more". These people are just so desperate to find an evil "other" to pin things on--if I was willing to be dogpiled in that thread (I wasn't, what's the point), I would have said: look in the mirror. This bs here is why the country is so divided.

So let me ask you the following, is Robert Kennedy an example of a mainstream Left person pushing an anti-science conspiracy?
I explicitly asked for the left wing equivalent to Alex Jones. He came up with a couple answers, both of which are bullshit. Quit trying to suck Buck's cock and admit he's peddling bullshit.
I am saving my load just for you. You still haven’t defined OBJECTIVE criteria of what constitutes a mainstream persona.I explicitly asked for the left wing equivalent to Alex Jones.

And yet he has trump's ear:

Tell me where you think he answered your question and was wrong.
I see one on #37
...
So what did he say that was wrong?
I'm a pretty regular consumer of MSNBC which is arguably one of the leaders of the "mainstream left". I've never heard any of this on there. I literally had to google this stuff because I've never been exposed to it any of my "main stream left" feeds.
That is fine, but...
"Kennedy co-hosts Ring of Fire, a nationally syndicated American radio program, and has written or edited ten books, including two New York Times bestsellers and three children's books."
"Ring of Fire is a nationally syndicated American talk radio program hosted by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Mike Papantonio, Sam Seder, and Farron Cousins. The four hosts focus on "exposing Wall Street thugs, environmental criminality, corporate media failure, and political back stories that you will rarely find from any other source".[1] The show has been on the air since 2004 and is currently carried on 43 radio stations across the United States."
That's the whole ruddy point; he hasn't answered my question. Instead he tiptoes and wanks his way around in a circle, refusing to give the left's equivalent to Alex Jones.
let me ask you this, how might someone defend equivalence if they do not believe there is an equivalence? If you are asking him to provide an example of something he does not think exists what would you expect?
