    You underestimate the power of conservatives to ignore news they don't like.

    PF rules are strange.

    It's ok for someone to lie but it's not ok for you to call them a liar when they lie.

    American Muckrakers are not conservative.

    Keep dreaming that the establishment Democrats are the left-wing in this country. I really want you and your ilk to be fooled into believing that.

    You'd have to have the ability to do something in order for it to matter whether we were fooled or not.

    But hey...you keep talking tough through a computer. And make sure you let us who are fooled know when you spring into action....I don't want to miss it.

    Now this is the part where you respond with another tough comment about how you're glad I'm overestimating you or some other bullshit internet tough guy talk....go on, you know you want to.

    They call themselves left-wing, so yeah. Pretty much everyone here does, so ...

    Well, why don't you tell us?

    Why should anyone fear you?

    You're the same kind of people who told us Obama was a socialist. Case closed.

    Lol...

    Well, the left doesn't have to be honest or consistent - they just move the goalposts and keep playing like nothing happened.

    Then if you point out their dishonesty and hypocrisy, they label you a racist, misogynist, xenophobic, bigot.

    What a world we live in :)

    Just did a quick search of myself using several variations of those terms and never said so - so I'm not sure where you're dreaming this up.

    I DO know that you were unable to answer any of those three questions but just went straight to an ad hominem. I suppose you DID just tell us what you are - and that you're not anything to be feared, just - I dunno what the best word is, pitied? That works.

    Why are you talking about? Your opinions of what is left-wing vs Democrat has no bearing on whether or not an entity is conservative. You made a demonstrably false statement and now you're just incoherently rambling rather than admitting you said something stupid. They're a liberal group, identify as liberal, support liberals/Democrats and oppose conservatives/Republicans. Everything you're saying is just foolish nonsense.

    While you're talking about Obama, it's important to note that the founder of the PAC is an Obama guy and runs for elected office as a Democrat.

    Y'know, the closest I think I got was this exchange in a thread about Obama forcing some Army couple to relocate their wedding so he could golf. It started with this post where Vicariously was being sarcastic ...
    ... and my response was ...
    ... y'know NOT saying Obama was a socialist, but that he was an insensitive twit. So yeah - like @mudman said, the PF rules are kinda strange here. You can lie but you can't say that someone IS lying. Well, I won't say anyone is lying but it sure is fun deconstructing posts for all to see. And @resisting arrest - yeah, seems my initial assessment was correct here.

    That's ALL they had to spend - 16K? Heck, I have more than that in my checking account and I'm just a teacher. What, did everyone in this organization save up their lunch money from the parents whose basements they live in?

    These aren't just left-wingers - they're Trekkies!

    Doesn't take much to convince gullible Dems, just headlines. American liberalism is buckling under the weight of its contradictions.

    Probably because you are a socialist.

    There is no doubt this is a dirty hit piece. The name "Muckrakers" say is all.

    There is also no doubt, would a RW smear outlet publish similar content about AOC, that righties would believe every word of it.

    That's why negative campaigning works, it reinforces the pre-existing beliefs of the moral deficiencies of the opposition, while bad news about the own side is easily dismissed as "fake".

    Finally, there is also no doubt that Ted Cruz is sweating right now.

    Dude, I can't believe I'm having a conversation like this with you. You are totally devoid of logic. Not too long ago Trump himself was a Democrat then he decided to change his socks and became a Republican. What is the difference between the two parties?? N-O-T-H-I-N-G

    Nailed it.

    It's easy to make people believe something they already want to believe or are predisposed to believing, something that is true no matter which side of America's political aisle you are on. There is no doubt this would have worked almost exactly the same had this group been targeting a left-wing politician. Sure, some right-wingers would be skeptical, just as some left-wingers are about this, but many would buy it hook, line, and sinker because it tickles their pre-existing biases.

    Sure looks like they ARE conservative. They go after populist hacks like Boebert and Madison Cawthorn in order promote better Republican candidates. Sure enough, their work in GOP primaries resulted in Madison Cawthorn being beaten by another Republican Chuck Edwards. Likewise, they are after Boebert so she'd lose her GOP primaries, and her challenger Don Coram (R) would win .

    Source is the Young Turks? Wow.

    There isn’t a source on planet earth that is more worthless than anything that comes from The Young Turds.
