Internet Hate site?[edit]

Can we call Townhall an internet hate site since some of their articles are homophobic/transphobic? They usually try to write about it in a way that allows for plausible deniability, but still. ClothCoat (talk) 06:24, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I guess that depends on how one wants to define an "internet hate site". I haven't read enough of Townhall to say if the hate label is accurate or not. But, if there was a category called "a hive of scum and villainy misinformation and willful ignorance" then I'd confidently vote for that. --Inquisitor (talk) 06:57, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Christophobia Down Under[edit]

Take the secularists at the above-quoted RationalWiki. They downplay the extent of trendy christophobic commentary and action, using phrases like “persecution complex” and “passing familiarity with reality.” People who most use the word “christophobia,” says RationalWiki, seem to “overlap with the people who claim there’s a liberal bias in the media.”

Funny, I suppose — to witness proudly “rational” people engage, however lightly, in denial of social reality. Did secularists not watch the coverage of the 2016 elections? Apparently these Doubting Thomases do not accept the evidence of Donna Brazille’s CNN leaks and the Podesta email dump as indicative of any bias.

It's a disingenuous argument when it's likely the same type of people, those who complain about "Christophobia", who'd get enraged about mildly (if at all) provocative billboards during the Christmas season. How dare a minority, who aren't Christians, try to perform outreach for people who think similarly? Christmas isn't even Christian in origin (and it's not Jesus's birthday) and was even banned by Christians at some point. That's theft! If that, the outcry from the thought Christians might not be the religion practiced by everyone, isn't persecution complex at its finest, I don't know what is. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 20:11, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
