As further evidence of my own brilliance on this subject...

Yup. The poll - and others - performed by Research 2000 is unadulterated bunk. As usual, left wingnuts got all wet and sticky over a lie.

The first thing I did was dig up the full blogs that Stan takes excerpts from and read them in context. Some of the excerpts take on very different meanings in their full context. When he refers to "starving" her, for example, he's talking about sending her to bed without dinner when she refused to eat what was made. This was something recommended by her doctor. I think most kids are "starved" this way at some point in their life and I don't think anyone ought to be screaming "child abuse" because a child refuses to eat their dinner.

That Stan would blatantly manipulate the facts to agree with his version of the story tells me not to trust anything he says. I then went and looked over some of his other content and found a lot of was what I would categorize as wingnut conspiracy theories.

Of course I'm not playing apologist for the parents. Whether they were right or wrong is another argument. My point is that the people in this thread, Stan's blog, and elsewhere, who are making their own diagnosis based on what they saw on Oprah, read in the LAT and/or saw in this video clip have no basis or qualifications to do so.

Of course everyone is entitled to an opinion; though the vast majority of the information written about in post on this blog are backed up by substantial evidence (there is also many humorous, satirical, and personal opinion pieces). I have to wonder if you took the time to actually do any research about what you read before dismissing it off the cuff xxovercastxx?
Of course anyone that wants to play apologist for these parents that are "admitted" abusers are entitled to their opinions (and there are many). I guess they are also many people that excuse our main stream media writing reports that excludes key related facts in their articles.

If that's what you coin wacky, then so be it.

It's weird how many white people will intellectualize this issue, and discuss it as an abstract.

It's just racism. That is all that it is.

It was very clearly racism when on Morning Joe, none of the panel could keep their eyes off of Harold Ford.

Rand Paul is a racist, and so is his father. So was William Buckley, the "Grandfather" of the conservative movement. It's not difficult to discover. Lew Rockwell has all the old Ron Paul papers. They're ugly. Most of them are also homophobic, as well as misogynistic. All are clearly classist.

They are all quite hypocritical as well.

For instance, while Rand Paul claims he's a libertarian (when it suits him), he also believes in the drug war and the death penalty. He thinks that abortion is not a states issue. He also believes in subsidizing the coal industry, and %50 of his patients are Medicare recipients and is against any cuts in Medicare funding. So, basically he's just a wingnut racist Republican liar.

His father, the "World's Most Famous Libertarian" lobbied for $96.1million in Federal earmarks last year. But he doesn't want to spend a dime on giving Rosa Parks a medal? Yeah, that's not racism at all, it's just coincidental.
