re: #155 Walter L. Newton

No, it fosters accepting the truth. And there you go using a weasel word that has nothing to do with the actual conversation. I read the comments up thread, and no one was “reflexively” labeling Turley as far left.

It’s evident by the comments and the links supplied, that Turley was labeled far left by people that had a complete understanding of Turley and the positions he takes.

Nothing “reflexively” about it. That was hyperbole in your attempt to label the commenters above as “knee jerk.” Stop labeling people, it’s more nuanced, ya know?

Exactly my point Walter. There was nuanced discussion of Turley in the above thread, and then there were simply comments debating whether he should be labeled “left” or “far-left.” I’m saying debating the latter is stupid. Just as stupid as this debate we’re having right now.

My point is, “right” and “left” are stupid and pointless in this day and age. Where would you label Charles for example? He might label himself “right” but the nuts at ace of spades and hotair probably call him a “leftist.” The point is, “left” and “right” don’t mean jack shit anymore. If I’m pro-healthcare reform, anti-union, pro-Afghanistan war, pro-choice and pro second amendment, what label do I fit under?
