No need. It's a pretty low bar. Seriously, you can dismiss this all you want, but that kind of misinformation is damaging to this country. The US has had the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and a director for decades. It's also had recommendations on alcohol use for decades, just like other agencies have recommendations about maximum saturated fat and sodium you should have. And minimum calcium, iron, etc. But, thanks to Fox, a lot of Americans apparently now believe that this is all new and it's clearly an attempt by Biden and Democrats to control the lives of Americans.
I doubt that many people are paying attention. As usual, libbies overblowing things and people they don’t like. Sad.
There you go. At least half a dozen stories by the most watched network in TV news. Thousands of comments on its online stories, including multiple calls for civil war. Picked up by a bunch of other sites. Outraged reactions from US congressmen and senators, including a beer-drinking macho stunt. Multiple threads on Too Hot. No one paid any attention.
People on this site are paying attention, and your knee jerk response about "libbies overblowing things and people they don’t like." brings to mind these recent posts - Alabama lawmaker arrested on voter fraud charge "The things republicans scream about are always the things they are guilty of." Alabama lawmaker arrested on voter fraud charge "Every accusation is a confession." Projection, or the process of displacing one's own feelings onto a different person is an observable psychological defense mechanism. Many people posting on this forum inadverdently and unintentionally reveal more of themselves through the accusations and charges they make of others.
Or it’s a much simpler explanation. The media hypes people up on both sides. There’s nothing to these stories and the libbies are riled up over fox headlines once again. It’s almost like they’re wagging you.
I bought a BL tonight for a black dude (I think) who was riding high heels and blazing a bedazzled Gator hat. On multiple general principles.
Neither of the two threads started on this were by “libbies” either. Both were started by our resident cons who fell hook line and sinker for Fox News bullshit. So hilarious they can’t own that they are getting played. Only the “libbies” care about this completely fake issue that was created entirely out of thin air by conservatives. How stupid must one be to actually believe that?
