You asked and I delivered. Hannity and his followers believed it.
You asked and I delivered. Hannity and his followers believed it.
"Fox News in particular devoted outsize attention to the Rich story, repeatedly rehashing the conspiracy theory. On his 10 pm show, Fox pundit Sean Hannity devoted segments to Rich on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday last week. “I'm not backing off asking questions even though there is an effort that nobody talk about Seth Rich,” he said on Friday night.
On Tuesday, even after Fox News retracted the story that ignited the latest round of speculation, Hannity remained convinced that the Seth Rich conspiracy theory had legs. “I am not Fox.com or FoxNews.com,” he said on his radio show. “I retracted nothing.”
Later that evening, on his television show, Hannity said that for now, he would stop talking about Rich “out of respect for the family's wishes.” On Twitter, though, he was defiant, claiming that “liberal fascism” was trying to silence his voice."
Mr. Hannity is one man.
Do these supposed "followers" have names, or is that a blanket generalization based on an assumption on your part?
Now you're arguing just to argue.
You asked me for a source. I gave you one.
Besides, you made the claim that many on the left will believe anything from CNN and other sources.
What you didn't give me was specifics. So far you have one retracted news story involving one anonymous official, that was believed by one man who was identified by name.
I did? When? Be specific, and link to any evidence in your possession, please.
BTW, is this latest claim of yours "whataboutism"?
If you want specifics, go to regular boards.
Again, you asked about the anonymous source. I gave you that. I have no idea why you are complaining. Is it because you're a sore loser?
No. I am demonstrating your hypocrisy.
You said this, "Was this a parody post designed to demonstrate the gullibility of many on the left, who fervently want to believe everything they're told that sounds negative about the president/Republicans/conservatives/white people/men/America, etc??"
Your claim was made on this board. If you can't, or won't back it up, I'm under no obligation to go to a "regular board" whatever that means.
In order to be a "sore loser" I'd have had to lose.
That's a question.
Want to try again?
For what?
Correct. You lost.
You said "many on the left". You expressed that as if it's a fact. So who are those people? Be specific. Give me names.
See the question mark there after your name?
Sure. Are you laboring under the impression that I'm required to give you my opinion of someone's else's post, on demand?
You're the expert on what is satire and what is serious.
So you say. I disagree.
I asked a question. Punctuation is important, wouldn't you say?
I don't recall professing any such thing. Got a quote?
That's fine. You asked. I provided. End of story.
Yes. You asked a question with a statement within which is a claim.
Now give names of those people, please.
You've nothing else, eh?
According to you. You don't get to selectively re-write the rules of English grammar and punctuation.
Right. Nothing else. You asked about the anonymous source and who believed it.
Then what was the point of adding "many" in your question?
Let me modify the question for you:
"Was this a parody post designed to demonstrate the gullibility of many on the right, who fervently want to believe everything they're told that sounds negative about Hillary, Bernie, Warren, Biden, liberals, etc??"
My body, my choice.
No. I do not consent to an alteration of what I actually said.
