Look at this choice quote from Eric Wemple's original rant:
"The unfunny thing about these defenses is that, in light of gays’ experience in this country, ..."

Uh, how's that Erik? Better and almost any other country? How were gays treated in the Soviet Union? Until recently, locked up. China? Same. North Korea? Starving, and certainly in the closet for fear of being murdered at any moment. Iraq? Hanged. Iran? In the words of AquaVelvaJad, "There are no gays in my country."

The only place on Earth that even comes close to the way gays are tolerated in America is Europe - and you still hear about the occasional harassment by a private party there.

These liberals have both feet firmly planted in the land of make-believe.

He could have just left it at "Journalists are liberals". Saying that they are not interested in facts and truth is just redundant.

It's in the 2nd sentence of the article:
"This is a bit like comparing apples to oranges, because the New York Times, like a lot of liberals, compares Romney’s income from capital gains (which were already taxed as income) to Obama’s salary as president (which is taxed as salary), but let’s go with it anyways."

I don't have a problem with CG taxes being 15%, in fact, I think they should be lower. (I'm a radical libertarian - ideally our governments should be funded voluntarily, no forced taxation).

Um, because it's not true. If someone says something that is demonsterably untrue, it makes them look dumb or dishonest. Saying that capital gains is double taxation is demonsterably untrue.

Again, you only pay taxes on the gains, not the (previously taxed) principal.

It's not hard to understand. It's just not remotely relevant to what I was saying.

And don't forget: all the real "crackers" (i.e. those who cracked whips during the slavery times)...

...were Democrats.

"And that money that is being invested is taxed money"

Yes it is, and it is NOT taxed a second time - only the profit you make on that investment is taxed.

If you make a $100K investment and make $5K on it, only the $5K is taxed, not the $100K.

My point was not about getting the approval of the LSM - it was about not confirming the LSM's various memes about conservatives, by putting out demonstrably FALSE claims about capital gains taxes.

"If you think that any explanation of capital gains tax is going to make the LSM stop thinking and putting out the meme that conservatives are stupid or racist"

I don't - but shall we help them by confirming their memes?

It makes us look like fools when we suggest that Capital Gains taxes are double-taxation. Capital Gains taxes are based on the GAINS one makes in an investment, not the invested principal - that's new money, never-before taxed.

Please stop doing this! It plays right into the LSM's meme that conservatives are a bunch of un-educated hicks.

Geez, you would think Geraldo would have been more angry with all the people who called him a racial epithet over the years: his family, friends, staff, and anyone who has used the name of his show.

I think Fox should rename it the <bleep> Revera. Show.
