The right's obsession with AOC - GMDino - 02-18-2019 ![]() RE: The right's obsession with AOC - GMDino - 02-18-2019 https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qvqeaq/the-right-wing-media-cant-quit-alexandria-ocasio-cortez Quote:The headlines are starting to get to me. On Townhall, there’s “Brutal Fact Check: 'Four Pinocchios' for Ocasio-Cortez on Ludicrous Single-Payer Healthcare Claims.” Over at Twitchy: “People are wondering why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t getting the Dan Quayle treatment.” The slightly more respectable National Review warns, “AO-C Is Not A-OK.” Hannity.com reports, “CORTEZ: Renewable Energy Will Lead to ‘Economic, Social, Racial Justice’ in the USA.” The Independent Sentinel, a website that claims to “report the news the media won’t,” exhorts, “Alexandria O-Cortez Wants Her 'Green New Deal' to Morph Into Marxism.” Just to repeat from the article: Quote:Per NewsWhip’s Jonathan Barnes: “Right leaning publishers have written over 10x the articles about @Ocasio2018than their counterparts on the left since June 2018. Engagement numbers are staggering also.” And mind you my observation of this came purely from watching and reading around the "news" and internet. Once you look for actual numbers it's pretty clear.

Is MSM counted in left-leaning, or is it counted at all? If it is not counted in the graph, I would like to see a line representing that category. I just like data and want to see more of it. ![]() RE: The right's obsession with AOC - fredtoast - 02-18-2019 She is the "Sarah Palin" from the left.

Just look how many threads the right has made about AOC in this very forum RE: The right's obsession with AOC - SunsetBengal - 02-18-2019 (02-18-2019, 07:16 PM)fredtoast Wrote: She is the "Sarah Palin" from the left.

There was a photo, from her bartending days floating around on social media. She was giving the world a beaver shot. She had some scanty shorts on, but you could definitely tell that her carpet matches her drapes.. RE: The right's obsession with AOC - michaelsean - 02-18-2019 They lobbed a softball and the Republicans will try to hit it out of the park. The right didn’t elevate her as the face of the future and give her national airtime. And it won’t be the right that knocks her down, but the leaders of her party. They don’t seem particularly thrilled with the Amazon pullout. And while the author claims the right is afraid of her, I would say it’s the mainstream Dems who don’t want her to be seen as representative of them. Were Dems scared of Palin or thrilled?

But who the hell has a picture like that sitting around? I assume she wasn’t famous at the time.

As I said in the other thread, that apparently prompted GM to make this one, this is smart politics on their part. AOC is radical, her ideas are far fetched to unworkable, she clearly likes being in the spotlight and she's not very smart. Painting her as the face of the Democratic party is a big a win for them as saying Palin was "one heartbeat away from the Presidency" if McCain had won was for the Dems.

The thing to me is that she isn't that radical. A lot of what she supports is straight out of the FDR playbook. The problem is that she doesn't have enough institutional knowledge or political capital to really make anything work or get any help on making it feasible.

He was also an autocrat as much as he was could swing it. His plan to pack the SCOTUS is borderline Nazi party plan to destroy the current government from within. In any event, AOC; 90% top tax rate? Allowing people to not work if they don't feel like it? Eliminating ICE? The government paying to rebuild or reconstruct every building in the nation? These are radical ideas.

These are radical ideas. 90% tax rate - had it before Work thing - don't know anything about this claim, any further info? Eliminating ICE - that's a relatively new agency, why is going back to the way it was before so radical? Rebuilding every building - also one I hadn't heard before, any info? As for FDR, I don't deny he was radical at the time and I don't deny he had his flaws. But his policies were also what made the Democratic party a powerhouse. He brought the Democrats back to being a reputable party after the Civil War. There were a lot of things he did wrong, but there were a lot of things he did right and the ideas he had were ahead of their time. They aren't radical any longer.

Whether we had a 90% tax rate before or not, it's a radical idea now. The work thing is from her FAQ that she then had people in her office lie about and subsequently had removed. Eliminating ICE isn't going back to the way it was before, it's ending immigration enforcement. Rebuilding every building is straight from her "Green Deal". As for FDR, yes some of his ideas were radical at the time and no longer are. Some of them were radical for the time and still are. He was, overall a good POTUS and certainly the right person for the job at the time. However, that's not really the point here, is it? It's your attempted comparison between FDR and AOC. The first was a dedicated, intelligent, public servant, the other is an ex-bartender who isn't smart by any definition of the word. Enjoy this cringe inducing clip.

I’ve also seen the original year ago. ![]() RE: The right's obsession with AOC - bfine32 - 02-18-2019 (02-18-2019, 11:06 PM)BmorePat87 Wrote: That’s the worst photoshop job I’ve ever seen.
