vbnautilus 48 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Well, I guess the star is better than aljazeera.edit: Are you saying anything? It seems like you just posted a link. Do you have any comment on the content of what you linked? Any original thoughts? Are you actually non-troll-posting today?The referenced study is published in Political Science -- it's legit. Also, we found evidence of a similar process in a brain imaging study we did back during the '04 election. Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 This study certainly explains why there are still people who believe Obamacare is a net positive despite mountains of economic data to the contrary. I was wondering how that many people were able to cling to something that is so verifiably wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

AmScray 355 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 "One of the things. . . when people encounter discordant information is to find a way to deal with that information in a way that doesn’t threaten what they already know or believe,” Reifler explained. "This is dead on the money, however, it's absolutely not limited to one political camp or the other. Switch the topic of that study to present garden-path facts to a bunch of liberals who hate said, and you'd have the same result, only with a bunch of leftists running around shrieking, pulling their hair and saying "ignorant" a lot.

It's weird to me that I give some random smartguy on an internet poker forum credibility for stuff like this, but whatever. That's a compliment, but I am a mrono so it probably doesn't look that way.

Perhaps this study explains why everyone on this forum tells All In that he sucks and yet he keeps acting like we are the crazy ones. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Paul Simon also said;Well, the sun gets wearyAnd the sun goes downEver since the watermelonAnd the lights come upOn the black pit townSomebody says what's a better thing to doWell, it's not just meAnd it's not just youThis is all around the worldWhich is an obviously racist comment directed towards our president from a guy who wants to be called Al.

Balloon guy 158 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 this has been made too much of. I am sure it was a factor but people need to realize that he will still pay state income taxes for every road game he plays. So, it's not that big a deal. Plus, the property taxes on the mansion he buys will be ridiculous.I think South Beach/awesome team >>>>>> Cleveland/good teamI think you are making too much of this.This is really nothing more than the entire NBA following nation trying to scavenge any players they can to make one super team that might have a chance against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2011.

Somehow the fallout from all this is that people from Cleveland and Chicago and NY will be rooting FOR the Lakers in a matchup with the Heat. The NBA-----where crazy rooting alliances happens.

strategy 4 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The damage extended beyond Mr. Bush's presidency. The attacks on Mr. Bush poisoned America's political discourse. Saying the commander-in-chief intentionally lied America into war is about the most serious accusation that can be leveled at a president. The charge was false—and it opened the way for politicians in both parties to move the debate from differences over issues into ad hominem attacks.:GW$O*GJQLFK;lfwKJ:W$GOHF:LW$KJFvbgtheba;jPG(*$J:jg;owgj:GO$H:OQFH$RVLKJG#%JOIG:Tsomeone needs to take away his right to speak. jon stewart elaborates.http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-sept...lin-gender-card Link to post Share on other sites
