Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, January 05, 2025

Unlike any prior nominee for the position, Patel is a harsh critic of the Bureau. In his book Government Gangsters: the Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for our Democracy, he has called for "a new Church Committee," referring to the 1975 congressional hearings overseen by Sen. Frank Church, an Idaho Democrat. The Church Committee exposed, among other things, the FBI's illegal campaign of surveillance and harassment against political and civil-rights leaders, and the CIA's Project MKUltra, in which Americans were unwittingly experimented on with LSD. Not too long ago it was almost exclusively the radical left that made the sorts of criticisms of the FBI and CIA made by Patel, and that remembered the abuses uncovered by the Church Committee.

#2. Did you even read the linked article?

I bet you didn't.

You like so many others are like a Pavlovian dog. You see "Bellringer" and are reflexively opposed. No matter what.

lmao! Knew it was a TrumpyBelle thread when I saw the headline.

About the Author:

"How Christian Parenti got class wrong, learned to talk like Trump and lost his mind: an autopsy

From 2004 to 2022, Parenti went from vague advisories that Leftists become smarter, to acceptance of the Right wings' superior messaging, to becoming a ventriloquist dummy for Covid Denialists and Right populist politics.

He simultaneously promotes a "socialist" use of the state to combat capitalists and a Right Libertarian pro-capitalist use of the state to drive workers back into production, unprotected from a deadly pandemic, ostensibly because this is what workers want.

Christian Parenti's Grayzone piece marks the death date of his political legitimacy as a Left intellectual: March 31st, 2022."

HA! Trumpytwerp posts a 10k word article, then whines that people aren't reading it.

btw, how do you suppose I managed to post the quote had I not at least gotten the gist of the article?

- Your entire M.O is attacking the source.

Your entire thread is based on the source supposedly still being a liberal.

You are see-thru around here, Butterball.

We should go ahead and make this a 45 post thread, though, just out of our humble respect for Jeffy.

Good stuff, Redial.

Does anyone on the left ever discuss anything any more? It's almost exclusively personal attacks and attacking the source.

When the thread article claims to make the Left's case for it, by someone who has gone all Trumper, the OP shouldn't whine about the retorts.

Trump has truly broken the left. You could pick a few lines out of the article and refute them. But, no. Gotta slaughter anyone to the right of Stalin. Intellectual laziness at its finest.

#27 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-01-05 07:50 PM | Reply

The whole article is self-refuting.

Plus, the article which you didn't read in #4 makes the same refutations to the same policy arguments that you've ignored for years here.

Intellectual ignorance at it's finest.

I read the entire article and you clearly didn't. You immediately googled and found a hit piece attacking the author. It's pretty much all you do.

Perhaps it's all you are capable of.
