Reeeeeeee
The only annoying stuff on my feed is the one hardcore Nintendo dude who posts everything Nintendo and also is anti-abortion so I see those pictures but about praying and shit. I just laugh it off.

Oh speaking of that, here is a good image I found on my Facebook about that:

History books written by the liberal agenda to create a culture of shame to make children hate America to the point where they'll call for its abolition and have an evil socialist state put in its place.

My uncle is a walking contradiction. These are all posts or reposts of his:









"Can I get some of you that only post ALS Challenges, White Vs Black, Liberal Drivel, and Funny pics, to repost a REAL threat to MY life?" (It's a documentary about the music industry and how the Internet has changed it. Ok, a legit concern, but apparently only for him because it affects him).
That gas one pisses me off. Wasn't that during the economic collapse?

Do you remember that clip in Fahrenheit 9/11 where Bush talks about getting the terrorists and then immediately says "now watch me hit this shot" and swings a golf club? I don't see anything wrong with holding it against Obama too.

I may be wrong, but I took that as significant because of the casual way he discussed military action before taking a shot. Apparently, he didn't have too much of his focus on the implications of what he was saying.

Every time I see a "liberal logic" meme image it makes me think at least half of right wing propaganda is based on "intolerance of intolerance is itself, intolerance".
 
The oppressive hand of evil environmentalism and making sure everyone has food, for the most part: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_21

I specifically want to point out this section:
Activists, some of whom have been associated with the Tea Party movement by The New York Times and The Huffington Post, have said that Agenda 21 is a conspiracy by the United Nations to deprive individuals of property rights.[4][13] Columnists in The Atlantic have linked opposition to Agenda 21 to the property rights movement in the United States.[13][26] Glenn Beck co-wrote a dystopian novel entitled Agenda 21.

"War on Christmas" is the funny part. It's probably the most demonstrably imaginary of all the imaginary conspiracies of the right.

Not really. My dad works at Chase, and not only are they not allowed to say "Merry Christmas" to customers, but he was told to remove a nativity scene from his desk.
 
Uh, what?

There's this claim that "both sides do it" and there's loads of crazy liberal images as well. Several people, including me, have asked for examples of the supposed crazy liberal images, but got nothing except hazy assertions of GMO stuff and anti-vac stuff. Both of which, frankly, are crazy things that cross the political divide.

I'm actually really curious to see a crazy liberal image macro (and I should clarify that I mean one posted by crazy liberals, not one making fun of them), though, by the response or lack thereof, I'm starting to think maybe they don't actually exist.

EDIT: Okay, there's one above, but it's not exactly crazy. Or maybe I'm secretly a crazy liberal which makes it make sense!

I've been looking and can't find anything. That's not to say it doesn't exist—Tumblr would probably be a better place to look.

There are posters on this site with avatars of Che or the hammer and sickle, lol.

Most of the left-wing crazy stuff on my Facebook feed is just ghost and conspiracy stuff, but that has no political influence.

One of my distantly related cousins is in a fanatically religious family (I mean FANATICALLY, her mom thought she could speak in tongues for a while), and she posts these dumb anti-abortion pics every once in a while:

Going on this... I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if they're that hard to find, they probably don't crop up enough to merit a "both sides do it".

I don't see how that picture is dumb. In fact, I think it states it argument pretty well. I even might agree with it.
 
When you create these blatantly false stories you should probably look up what the maximum food stamp limit to make it more believable. Hint: your example is 300 dollars over the maximum limit.

Any other made up stories you would like to share with us?!?

I knew a woman like that and here name was La-a. You wanna know how she pronounced it??



Oh shut up already. I know EXACTLY what I saw and I have NO reason to lie about ANYTHING on GAF. Why would I? What could I possibly be achieving by lying?

I physically went to their place in Queens and saw the Mercedes-Benz parked out front.

I physically saw her take out her EBT card and brag about it to me.

I physically USED that EBT card to get groceries from the local supermarket for her.


Anything else you want to know?

I'm sorry I don't know the exact amount on the EBT card because guess what? I'm lucky enough that I've never had to use food stamps in my life.
 

This is honestly one of my favorite ones. It's so absurd on multiple levels.

It's even better though, not only because they made "change" look like an actual Russian word, but also because Hitler didn't speak English.

lol and you didn't even bother to report it then. You're complicit in it as well then for allowing the ongoing welfare fraud and abuse to go unreported.

Extremism does exist on both sides for sure. But as far as Facebook pics go? Probably not to the same extent, no.

Someone should create a thread with those awful hypocrisy lollipop-land pics your friend/family share, they worry me more than many of those shared images.

Yeah it's been unreported because she is a family friend and we don't want them to get arrested.

I also know someone else who regularly deals drugs...same thing with him. We don't report him because we have personal connections.

I was just responding to the "lol you just made it up" accusations. Really now, that's even more absurd than some of the pictures shared in this thread.

Of course extremism exists on both sides but to get the appropriate level of left-wing extremists, you'd have to go outside the United States to find them. You'd get called an extreme left wing communist if you thought we needed more unions and universal healthcare provided by the government here.

Yeah, I was just challenging the assertion that both liberals and conservatives make loads of dumb facebook images. So far, the evidence provided has been underwhelming. And that's me being generous.

For starters it's disingenuous to call a fetus a child.

I don't know what my stance is on this and I haven't put much thought into it but I would probably ask myself "what are the reasons for classing murder as a crime" and why is it wrong—and subsequently examine whether those same reasons apply to foetuses.

True, but those groups do exist within the US—but as you say, far less prominently than in the rest of the world.

Ah right. Well, yeah agreed.
