How would you like it if they targeted Michael Moore?He's practically the left-wing equivalent of Glenn Beck. Unless you can find me video evidence that Glenn Beck accused someone else of this, this is completely out of line.
    This is more along the line's of Beck's now (partly) infamous tactic of presenting an over the top argument, accusing his opponent of something absolutely made up and then end it with "I'm not saying he is, I'm just saying." The thing people link to most is Beck on Fox and Friends* where he does this exact thing in regards to Obama and the president's perceived racism, Beck's not saying he's racist, just that he has a problem with whites.

    Is Anonymous going too far in their satire and "turn about is fair play" method of trolling? I honestly don't know. Some of the things both sides say now days about each other have the effect of completely turning me off politics. If you were to find it too much, i can hardly claim you're wrong or missing the joke.


    EDIT: And I'm more than a little surprised that a mod posted this, when at Paradox most ordinary members were shocked and asking to have it taken down (and most of them aren't exactly right-wing). I was hoping that people here would have a little more decency. I guess not.
    Well sir, good day to you too. *tips top hat, twirls cane*

    Well, don't we all. It doesn't make the response right.

    It's the job of comedy to push boundaries and get us to move beyond them.
    Some boundaries should stay. Like saying that people rape and murder girls when they don't. If Glenn Beck did this I'd be just as angry with him.

    Then I wouldn't be surprised if you felt the site is going too far. The accusations are purposefully overblown in attempt to show how deplorable the method is.

    I never claimed Beck said those things.
