Harvard writer: Free speech threatens liberalism and must be destroyed

"The mainstream media’s greatest failure has been its members’ inability to acknowledge this reality. Over and over, no matter what the issue—no matter how outlandish, illogical, or simply untrue the conservative argument has been—journalists create a sense of false equivalence between positions that rest on data and logic and those that don’t. To quote Cenk Uygur, “If CNN did sports reporting, every game would be a tie.”
The clearest example can be found in the global warming debate where, as I recently argued, “The mainstream media irresponsibly treats uncredentialed climate deniers … with the same degree of respect as climate scientists who are qualified to judge the problem. In doing so, they ignore the fact that, led by massive investments from Charles and David Koch, “Conservative billionaires used a secretive funding route to channel nearly $120m (£77m) to more than 100 groups casting doubt about the science behind climate change.”

False equivalence is a logical fallacy where there appears to be a logical equivalence between two opposing arguments, but when in fact there is none. Journalists use a form of this logical fallacy when comparing two sides of a scientific debate in an attempt to provide a balance between a scientific and denialist point of view. However, there is no equivalence between the two sides, when one is supported by evidence, and the other side with little or no evidence, of which most is of low quality. In other words, in false equivalence, someone will state that the opposing arguments have a passing similarity in support, when, on close examination, there is large difference between the quality of evidence

One of my neighbors is from Poland. He was a young boy when he watched the Nazis march into Warsaw and slaughter hundreds of innocent men, women and children in the street.

He once told me, "It's easy to spot the extremists. They're the ones trying to silence everyone who disagrees with them."

 

Anyone see the pic of this Iron Nanny? The stereotype is confirmed. She's also a feminist.

 

YOU NAILED IT!!!!!! And what are today's liberals trying to do? YES, silence ANYONE who disagrees with their evil. I see them as ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENT than nazis of yesteryear, and KNOW they'd love nothing more than to see this tyrannical government unleash weapons against those "scumbags" who DARE want freedom. Liberals of today: America's enemy number one, making the Taliban look like baby shit!!!

Actually, democracy is self-destructive. Once the politicians begin to bribe the people with their own money, it begins to break down.

 

Worst system there is except for all the others.
