Before passing judgment, I'd be interested in seeing what he was posting and also seeing what it actually says he was institutionalized for.
The media often lies here... if a person wrote a post that said he wanted to kill the President, and got arrested for threatening the President, the media writes that he got arrested for posting on Facebook. I'm seeing so much **** like this... It's sort of ironic too, because where it seemed to really start was when GWB was in office. So I've sort of flipped over the years, bitching about the crazy lying left-wing media to the crazy lying right-wing media... I suppose at some point I should just drop the political orientation and call them just the crazy lying media.

It seems you were too busy to read the link, and just commented on the title. I'll help you out.
Here's a clue, if he had made a threat against Barry, he would not have been released. But of course, since you couldn't call anyone racist over this you chose to blame Bush... Liberal much???

Incorrect. I read the link. None of what you quoted answered what I asked.
What did he actually say... I guaranty you that it was not lyrics to "oops I did it again". People here go much further than "posting lyrics" all the time.... many, many extremely angry posts against Obama. How many usacarry members have been dragged off? None, right? There is more to this story than is being presented, and the media is telling us just what they want us to know, not what actually happened.

Oh, you edited and added to your first post... so let me address your second point.
Find anywhere where I have ever blamed Bush for anything. Find anywhere here where I have ever called anyone racist. Dude, look at what's in front of you, not the lies your media masters are telling you. Come on Chief... head out of the clouds, feet on the ground, reality check time. If you take a hard look at my actual posts, what do you really disagree with? Talk to me about that, not what echoes of right wing media sound bites say that I said.

aacx22: You seem to be interested in a lot of things but want to question others concerning their posts. Have you ever tried to investigate anything? Your question about what the Marine really said is something you should look up yourself. You intimated that the media lies about everything and, if you don't trust that source, who are you going to believe? Someone you have never met? Get real dude.

Did you know that you can't go back and fix the thread title? I tried but no luck. I had to clean my keyboard.

If I make a claim, you can bet I'll do research to back it up. If someone else makes a claim don't expect me to do the fact checking OP should do. Silly comment about trusting someone you never met... most of us have never truly met. On the internet especially, there is so much BS... I think it's not too much to ask for OP to back up their post with some reference. Tell me honestly, doesn't that just make sense?

Maybe you should read my post and try to understand it before lashing out. In my post I described defending GWB from leftie attacks. Sheesh, dude.

I re-read it. I see nothing but "It's sort of ironic too, because where it seemed to really start was when GWB was in office." then hating both Fox and MSNBC. Anyone else see a defense of GWB?

Okay... so what does the next sentence say?
actually, I'll grab it.
I bolded what was in question.

Last time, if you are trying to be cute you are losing clarity in the attempt.
It reads that it started with Bush, and you went from hating the left wing media to hating the right wing media. If that is not what you mean, speak clearly.

That is exactly what I meant. I found over time that they both lied.

Right. Often we don't see the entire story.

Actually I thought it was pretty clear. He didn't say W did it, he said the media started being one-sided and manipulative while W was in office. He said both the right wing and left wing media do this. He quite accurately noted that all media have an agenda and we all need to use or critical thinking skills (those who have them) to not be manipulated by incomplete, slanted, or false reporting, no matter who is doing it. We need to be on guard against accepting things just because we want to or already believe them.
Seems pretty clear, but this is a good example of seeing only what you want and expect to see.
