  - Religion would probably be it. There's strong anti-Muslim sentiment on both sides. - TWuG Jan 13, 17:14 1

- Stewart would deny it, but he's claimed by the left. Maddow and Moore. Definitely Olbermann. - TWuG Jan 13, 16:58 2
  - If Stewart is the left "fringe", I'm done. - musubi Jan 13, 17:01 1
    - I was commenting more on the first paragraph on the IM. Olbermann and Moore - TWuG Jan 13, 17:04
- Olberman doesn't even really compare--he's never condoned violence toward anyone. I ran across this blog today--it destroys the "both sides are just - Trish Jan 13, 16:58 2
  - This is that McEwan, right? - Stephen Jan 13, 18:30

- Michael Moore? Noam Chomsky? Fred Flintstone? -- nm - s.o.d. Jan 13, 16:35 4
  - Moore for sure. Ask the average liberal who Chomsky is and they'll give you a confused stare. nm - Dignan Jan 13, 16:45 3
    - (And, other than a movie every couple of years, Moore doesn't really have much of a platform.) nm - Dignan Jan 13, 16:47 2
      - is Oliver Stone considered a liberal? or just a nut? -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 16:50 1
        
        I just consider him a director/writer. -- nm - Trish Jan 13, 17:01
In a non-judgmental, tolerant way. -- nm - David Jan 13, 16:08 16

  - What's housing like in Australia? -- nm - David Jan 13, 16:13 14
    - If you are trying to escape racism, Australia is probably not the place to go. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 13, 16:15 13
      - I'm pretending that the thread stopped with this quip. -- nm - David Jan 13, 16:56
      - IM: except maybe brisbane. -- nm - mafic Jan 13, 16:17 11
        
        I really, really, really don't want to keep seeing the picture of that kid who died to save his brother. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 13, 16:22 8
        
        I'm kind of constantly offended by the news here. they're all too tied up with the current affair/today tonight sensationalism. -- nm - mafic Jan 13, 16:28 7
        
        I can see that. The news here is just as parochial and boring but there's no post-news "the household product that might kill your children" show - Roger More Jan 13, 16:41 2
        
        Frontline is great! (Though it's weird to see Rob Sitch with all that hair.) nm - ralph wiggum Jan 13, 16:47
        
        yeah, the standard news is no worse than anywhere, except for the constant shilling of the scandal show that's up next. -- nm - mafic Jan 13, 16:46
        
        It also just makes you realize what a small (population-wise) country it is. Local news is effectively national news. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 13, 16:30 3
        
        (Sorry to change the subject) - Dignan Jan 13, 16:46 2
        
        So you admit that I was right. (nm) - musubi Jan 13, 16:54
        
        This is what I've been sayin!! (I've just started reading Best Served Cold and now feel the need to go reread the First Law series.) nm - ralph wiggum Jan 13, 16:49
        
        All the racists drowned? -- nm - Dano Jan 13, 16:20
        
        But look how God felt about that... nm - Dignan Jan 13, 16:19
