The MSM thread

Just throwing the idea out there. Its a great topic to consider.

First things first. We’re all still waiting for factual support of Dennis Prager’s internet predation.

 I'll wait patiently. In the meanwhile I'll dig out some tie dye.

A lot of these analyses miss the fact that the world moves forward. It "progresses". A baby boomer at the age of 15 in 1961 would probably take it for granted to be in favor of racial integration. That might have been the same view of their parents at the same age in 1931. 

Gen Z people take same-sex marriage for granted. Baby boomers at the same age would not.

 Not the issue...the question is not whether they are more liberal than their elders, but whether they are more liberal than their elders were when the elders were at that age.

 I get that. And it's not a knowable answer. But the demographics suggest that it's more likely true than not.

 Praeger is just another child predator grooming victims on the internet.  I am not at all surprised to see mtierney supporting him. 

 Please provide factual support for your claim of "Praeger [sic] is just another child predator grooming victims on the internet."

“..Please provide factual support for your claim of "Praeger [sic] is just another child predator grooming victims on the internet."

The ability to provide factual support on any issue or claim is not in that poster’s toolbox. He is focused on excrement for the most part, and hatred for the Catholic Church. My New Year’s resolution is to ignore him, but if he directs his venom toward me, personally, I will report him. Might not get results, but it feels good.

Too much catnip is way over the top...

 That's a good description of Dennis Prager.  He's not merely "not a fan" of Pope Francis, but writes dishonest attacks on the Pope and his teachings.  Easy enough to find with "the Google", since Prager writes his anti-papal pieces a lot.

mt, "The Great Avoider", talking about providing factual support, is the height of irony.

 I don't read or respond to trolls so I have to admit that I missed RfA's post.  

To be clear, I wasn't suggesting that Praegy is a pedophile. My point was that Praegy is a malignant predator who trolls the internet trying to seduce young people into joining him in the latter day Gomarah that is modern American conservatives (fascism). I think this was well documented in the article.

 I find this particular vein of criticism ironic since I am a far more consistent supporter of Pope Francis than mtierney. The only part of the Catholic Church that I hate is the part that was/is responsible for the rape and abuse of countless children and the facilitation of that abuse.  

If hating child abusers is a crime, than I plead guilty as charged.

 Yes, that's a good description of Praeger. His is a vile presence on the internet.
