Fox News and the righties seem to have settled in a common attack. Call their enemies mentally ill

[cytg111]

This is the left today, you can't talk about facts if it could hurt someone's feelings. A young girl, that has a diagnosed mental condition, lacking any real life perspective pissed at the world because she's been indoctrinated. While I don't agree with her, I do think she is the perfect spokesperson for the liberals today. She fits the bill perfectly, to be honest.

And this is just you today, your usual oblivious retarded self proclaimed foot soldier for the always criming D. Here is the thing Slow, your side, right? Your side wants you to shut the hell up cause you are not helping! Your kind of help? They dont want it. Trust me.

It is a diagnosis of a condition then? Let's start there.

Get this. She also has a vagina. Why not start there? Too bad she doesn't have dark skin. Would have been a trifecta.

I guess Fox News isn’t too settled on how to cover impeachment after all:

“It’s Management Bedlam”: Madness at Fox News as Trump Faces Impeachment

A Trump identity crisis at Fox as Hannity frets, Lachlan Murdoch prepares for a post-Trump future, Paul Ryan whispers in Rupert’s ear, and Shep Smith and Tucker Carlson trade blows.

www.vanityfair.com

“IT’S MANAGEMENT BEDLAM”: MADNESS AT FOX NEWS AS TRUMP FACES IMPEACHMENT

Some highlights:

- FOX News board member Paul Ryan (yes that Paul Ryan) tells Lachlan to prepare for a “Post-Trump future.”

- This morning, Sean Hannity told friends the whistle-blower’s allegations are “really bad,” a person briefed on Hannity’s conversations told me.

- Public feuding—a feud erupted between afternoon anchor Shepard Smith and prime-time host Tucker Carlson. It started Tuesday when Fox legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano told Smith on-air that Trump committed a “crime” by pressuring Ukraine’s president to get dirt on Biden. That night, Carlson brought on former Trump lawyer Joe diGenova, who called Napolitano a “fool” for claiming Trump broke the law. Yesterday, Smith lashed back, calling Carlson “repugnant” for not defending Napolitano on air...Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace communicated to Smith this morning to stop attacking Carlson, a person briefed on the conversation said. “They said if he does it again, he’s off the air,” the source said.

What's funny about this is that the article just (correctly) assumes that Fox is a partisan political operation. Remember how conservatives argued it wasn't for years and years?

First there was Greta Thunberg now studly Tucker Carlson calls Adam Schiff mentally ill.

Tucker Carlson: Adam Schiff Is ‘Clearly, Demonstrably Mentally Ill’

If you thought Tucker Carlson couldn’t push the envelope any further, I have some news for you.The Fox News primetime star opened up his program on Thursday night by taking aim at House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) for giving a parody account of President Donald Trump’s July 25

Smells like some serious projection

When the Chairman of a Congressional Committee changes evidence to read like a bad attempt at a mafia screenplay, what else can be said? I'm surprised he didn't add "exit stage left" or "it was a dark and stormy night" to his reading of the transcript. When you have to play pretend or make believe theater hour to explain evidence, then you have serious issues with reality and/or your evidence.

Change my mind.

Hey guys the Trump supporter wants you to know that people who exaggerate have issues with reality.

Greta Thunberg technically has a mental condition, no?

Condition != illness.

Though, now I come to think of it, I'm not sure how one defines an 'illness'. Hard to come up with a definition that doesn't include 'being a Republican', for example.

It’s right here in the link

The Fox News host didn’t qualify his diagnosis of the Democratic congressman other than to suggest that it was insane to want the president impeached for pushing the Ukrainian president to look into his political rival.

That is against the law period.
Now ignoring that, do you really want to live in a world where dubious foreign intelligence helps decide an election? If you are I’ll call you stupid because it’s short sighted to think like that because how would anyone know the info is correct?
However if you want this to be fair game I’m all for supporting Democrats that hump the shit out of this.

Depends on how you define it. Autism Spectrum Order means you aren't so-called "neuro-typical" but "atypical" in itself isn't inherently a bad thing. You have challenges and deficits in some areas and near superhuman surpluses in other areas that compensate somewhat (hyper-focus is one for example). It's even been hypothesized that ASD might be a competitive genetic advantage in the right circumstances.

Mild autismhas 'selective advantages'

Nobel Prize-winning economist Vernon Smith, who has Asperger Syndrome, the mildest form of autism, talks with CNBC's Sue Herera about what he calls the deficiencies and the advantages of the disease.

Autism As a Disorder of High Intelligence

A suite of recent studies has reported positive genetic correlations between autism risk and measures of mental ability. These findings indicate that alleles for autism overlap broadly with alleles for high intelligence, which appears paradoxical given that autism is characterized, overall, by...

BTW - the concept of "Aspergers" is no longer a recognized condition as it's been folded into the broader ASD diagnosis.

No you cannot talk about things that deflect from the message, by attacking the messenger! Grow up dude!
Greta even mentions people like you Spyder -- "I'm not public about my diagnosis to "hide" behind it, but because I know many ignorant people still see it as an "illness", or something negative. And believe me, my diagnosis has limited me before. >"
or --
"When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning!"
Sucks to be an arachnid!!

Ehhhh... DSM 5 stopped categorizing it separately but that's but to say it isn't a recognized syndrome anymore. Still an ICD-10 diagnosis, and not definitely recognized as a class of folks on the autism spectrum. But there were a lot of problems with diagnostic consistency in DSM-IV clinical practice and a lot of people whose symptoms didn't cluster in the usual ways. So they thought that separating diagnoses wasn't reliable and decided to unify under one umbrella.

 

[Aikouka]

Greta Thunberg technically has a mental condition, no?

Well... there's no "technically" about it. If I recall, she has Asperger's. (You know, I typed "aspergers" into Google just to see that I was spelling it correctly, and "aspergers greta" was the third suggestion.) The problem is when you're in a debate/argument and you bring up something about someone without any context to the topic itself. Doing that turns it into an ad hominem attack. In other words, they bring up her being "mentally ill" as a means to demean her without ever touching her remarks. It's pretty much the same thing if I were to talk to someone about something like... "Medicare for All", and their response was, "You dirty socialist!" Rather than attempting to discuss the matter, they ascribe a negative trait ("socialist") onto me as a means to demean everything.

 

[Jhhnn]

I don't think she had that, she's just indoctrinated and has a mental condition that probably makes her easy prey for the propaganda machines.

Pirro? You're obviously right about that. She has a bad case of right wing persecution complex.

Yeah, "Aspergers" was commonly taken by the public and to a lesser extent the medical community to be a "soft" form of autism and basically thought to be synonymous with "high functioning autism." Sure it had a couple of features thought of as being defining. Such as difficulty empathizing with others or more properly a deficit in the Theory of Mind executive function of being able to understand and predict what others are thinking and feeling and infer their state of mind from unspoken clues. Not really a good diagnostic tool since plenty of folks with ASD who are "high functioning" and would have once been diagnosed with Aspergers can be very empathetic, sometimes overly so. My son is in that later category, his empathy is significantly higher than his "neurotypical" sister despite an ASD diagnosis.

That's my younger son as well but it's really OT, following Slow's intentional derail at post #3. Thunberg was barely mentioned in the article, anyway. I's all about Tucker spreading the FUD. Schiff obviously isn't mentally ill, something that really can't be said with any certainty about Slow's hero. It's the classic Nazi propaganda technique- "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty!" Not to mention Pirro's disgusting version of "Tell them they're being attacked!".

 

[JEDIYoda]

Now lets talk Pirro`s mental state, how can she even look in the mirror with all the BS she slings everywhere??

 

[imported_tajmahal]

So do you, yet we allow you to speak, although sometimes I wonder why.

Wow, you actually "allow you to speak, although sometimes I wonder why"

Pretty typical Authoritarian lefty who thinks that somehow, someway, they should be able to silence people they don't agree with.

Psychopathic con artists are a different kind of crazy. It's like being a televangelist, only different. She found a totally cynical big money groove she'll follow to the end. It's the same for the whole coterie of right wing talking heads, sharpies preying on pigeons.
