Why is the left so easily capable of ignoring facts in order to push their narrative?

The news that you listen to and watch doesn't show it.

Why wouldn't leftist news show leftists celebrating abortion if that's what we leftists do and support? That makes no sense, aka is stupid.

My guess is the right wing drivel you watch has shown you a handful at best of examples which you've stupidly attributed to 'the left' as a group.

Because they know that some independents still watch...they don't want to shock them. They've lost enough viewership over the years.

Or more likely because you have to look really hard to find ANY examples of liberals or anyone of any political lean "celebrating" abortion. So your disgust, if it's real, is because you're looking high and low for something, anything, about liberals about which to be disgusted.

I noticed you provided no examples. Not surprising in a thread of you making a series of bad faith arguments.
 
Ok, you cannot or you refuse to post any example of reasonable debate by any poster of self professed center right or more extreme right political orientation. I requested that you back up your claim
that such posters debate in a civil manner. I pointed out that after four pages of this thread, the author of the thread OP was the only extreme right oriented poster to support a post with a link, to a
right wing extremist web article, authored by a right wing extremist.

Now this thread is seven pages long, and no poster of right wing persuasion has seen fit to post a supporting link other than the one I described.

Reasonable readers expect to read posts supported by links to reasonable sources. Right wing posters of this forum predictably demonstrate an inability to support
their posts by including linked citations to reasonable sources. Instead, they have walled themselves off in an alternative reality of their own self validating absurdity.

You describe an atmosphere of civil debate by right of center to more extreme right posters where little or none actually exists.

Your approach is just another variation of heckling we're all familiar with. The guy who stands up during a convention and cries out, "You're all liars! Not one of you knows what they're talking about!" You know, the heckler that security have to drag out before the current speaker can continue. "Sorry about that, folks," he apologizes, before continuing to explain why man made global warming is a myth.

A better approach is to simply address arguments with your own arguments. Take something someone said and explain why you think it is wrong. Use the quote function.

For instance, the heckler should wait until question time and ask the speakers pertinent questions which challenge their ideas.
 
In absolute numbers, more white people are killed by police in the US. But it's fact that Blacks are more likely to be killed by police -- their population numbers are much lower. That's a fact.

The important point here is that only those with direct police contact have a chance to be included among those shot by police. Both younger and poorer folks are overrepresented in police contacts, as are folks living in high crime areas, so their proportion of the general population is not relevant - but their more frequent contacts with police is.
 
There has only been one relevant point made in this whole thread and I made it posts ago. IT WAS and IS a Troll Bait Thread and anybody that does not see that, simply does not know a troll bait thread when they see one.
