Partisan Troll are Ruining Twitter

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal">Hola Libtards and Rethugs! Sunday night I was watching the Emmys when the category for best writing for a variety show came up. As each of the shows like “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” and Jimmy Kimmel reeled off their looooooooooooooong list of writers I noticed something interesting. Basically the intros went like this “White Guy” “White Guy” White Guy” “White Guy” “White Woman” “White Guy” “White Guy” and finally “White Guy.”  <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKK6aL7sgTmESUfAIkANBh5HMRzYwwr1PuPFFYawzBRJKBeMrj_gDEw45lgCxZaZchs8VxH6qtJ9zPPSElXVJcq5c4LvrIFP-pMfQlqC8DkpSXO4YwkOWrDu9Th4kjPEZVV2BibHjfKOZO/s1600/colbert+report+writers+emmys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKK6aL7sgTmESUfAIkANBh5HMRzYwwr1PuPFFYawzBRJKBeMrj_gDEw45lgCxZaZchs8VxH6qtJ9zPPSElXVJcq5c4LvrIFP-pMfQlqC8DkpSXO4YwkOWrDu9Th4kjPEZVV2BibHjfKOZO/s1600/colbert+report+writers+emmys.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Sheeeeeeeeeeeit …. <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/im-with-stupid" target="_blank">IWS Radio</a> has more diversity in ONE correspondent than Colbert has on his whole freaking staff. (There was a woman up there somewhere with them but she isn’t in this pic. The second time they went up, there was a second woman, but I suspect they just grabbed her out the audience so they would look more diverse. They would have grabbed a black and/or Latino too IF THEY COULD HAVE FOUND ONE IN THAT AUDIENCE.)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I was struck by the lack of diversity on these writing staffs especially given the liberal bent of these shows and how much they love to lecture others about diversity. So, I Tweeted “Funny how the ‘lecture everyone else about diversity’ shows can’t find any black, Latino and only one woman writer.” Or something close to that. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Well, turns out that some far left-wing extremist partisan was trolling twitter and decided to respond to me: “I wasn’t aware that these businesses that produce those shows were liberal to any degree. You’re evidence?” <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Oooooooooo … She nailed me! Wow! I was knocked on my heels for minute there. We all know that no “business” is ever anything but evil and conservative. I guess she was trying to imply that the corporations that own the networks that these shows are on are conservative so the shows are also? Or maybe she was ignoring the leftward lean of the shows and talking about the parent companies only? Or maybe she considers anything to the right of Chris Hays to be “conservative?” We’ll never know because she never elaborated. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">So, I hit back with “The Daily Show and Colbert Report are raging right-wing shows? I had no idea.”  ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">It was at this point that she realized she was completely wrong so she did what everyone in that situation does. She got personal and ignored my original point by telling me “You do appear to be out of ideas!”  HAAAAAAA!! Wooo this chick is almost more than I can handle! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Okay, so it was apparent to me that this was going to go nowhere and I had found yet another person who isn’t interesting in any real discussion if it challenges her “My side is pure and perfect and always right” world view. I decided to try, just once to see if she would address the lack of diversity issue I had tweeted about. After another exchange where she once again resorted to name calling I asked her “Are you bothered by the lack of  black, Latino and women writers on these HUGE staffs or are you so partisan that you can never criticize your … uh … OUR (I am for the most part Team Blue) side?” <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Her sad little response was “Oh, you make it too easy.” This is what people say when they agree with you but can’t admit it. They pretend to be sooooo intellectually superior that they can’t even be bothered to answer. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglnFkGAI-sDsFW2aCM9hXqBaN_CTsa7KtC9_pj5XRYgsqo-eNKKrhdQvnkslu4HqqXhhBVkFuGB_FgtSuHrwvzaUOKoIkbMJLd4rr_Vgnk55Y8vOU8qYXEVsoYbVEqSPqUh8DIyLvie7nd/s1600/Colbert+Report+Writers+No+Blacks+No+Latinos+One+Woman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglnFkGAI-sDsFW2aCM9hXqBaN_CTsa7KtC9_pj5XRYgsqo-eNKKrhdQvnkslu4HqqXhhBVkFuGB_FgtSuHrwvzaUOKoIkbMJLd4rr_Vgnk55Y8vOU8qYXEVsoYbVEqSPqUh8DIyLvie7nd/s1600/Colbert+Report+Writers+No+Blacks+No+Latinos+One+Woman.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">See there’s Colbert’s token female writer! I told you she was there somewhere. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The obvious truth is that YES she is bothered by the lack of diversity on these writing staffs. She can’t admit it though because if she does she would be acknowledging that her side isn’t as pure and perfect as she pretends it is. She’s not alone either. Democrats suddenly are totally in favor of all kinds of stuff they used to be opposed to. From support of the surveillance state to ignoring lack of diversity to support for launching an unnecessary, unprovoked war of choice with Syria, extreme partisans like this Twitter Troll have decided to copy the republicans by refusing to ever admit that maybe, just possibly, someone on their side might be even the slightest bit wrong about anything EVER! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">This is why we can’t have nice things America. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:Jayman3768@gmail.com">Jayman3768@gmail.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/jayman68" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/jayman_iws" target="_blank">@Jayman_IWS</a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div></div>
