Report: Tomi Lahren ‘Suspended’ by TheBlaze

[Deleted]

The topic of conversation is her getting canned for having an opposing point of view to the people she works for. It's right in the OP. You just don't care about it because it was a right wing network that canned her.

I care.
Sure you can make the argument that an opinion based thing like 'the blaze' has greater merit in firing someone for ideological impurity than some of the other firings, but i ultimately do not care.
It was bad that she was fired, or whatever she was.

Who gives a fuck about Europe?

Toni Lahren - The segment was not about the syrian refugees in the MENA area.

Yeah, it is. You wouldn't have snipped the rest of the paragraph, like you've been doing to my posts this entire conversation, otherwise.

Its beyond clear you do not understand teh context of the thing you are talking about.

[Sunseeker]

Well, I mean she's right. You can't favor "small" or "non-intrusive" government and then turn around and rely on big intrusive government to enforce your morality on people.

And you snipped out the reason why that's irrelevant to this conversation, yet again.

Pure hypocrisy.

If you're going to continue to selectively snip my posts and address only out of context bits you think you can snag my argument on, then I see little point in continuing this conversation. Taking statements people make and chopping them up is a childish tactic and doesn't impress me in the least.

Tomi is right, what people do to their own bodies is no one else's business (including the government's) unless what they do to their own bodies somehow violates other people's rights.

An "unborn person" doesn't have any right to use/continue to use another person's body unless the owner of the body they will use/are using grants them the right to do so.

This applies to all "persons", not only the unborn.

No person has the right to use/continue to use another person's body for any reason without the owner of the body granting them the right to do so.

If you really don't care...why are you insisting that the left is worse than the right when it comes to these kinds of firings? You're having some consistency problems with your position.

This really should be something the left and right in america can agree upon. It's simple. Only fringe belief nuts are really outraged enough to try and deny it, too bad they're being catered to far beyond their importance.

Because, and this is just the first thing that comes to mind, Brendan Eich was fired for making a political donation.
And i could go on, and on, because in the totality, this case, is an outlier, it's 'rarer' on the right (currently).

[Putin-Chan]

Abortion is an issue that the Right will eventually win the debate on. More and more Americans are awakening to the horrors of abortion so it's only a matter of time before the American people eliminate it ourselves.

I don't want to pay for unwanted kids with no fathers. If these rich conservative businessmen are so concerned about 'teh babies' they should take them in. Same idea with rich liberal Hollywood stars and the 6 foot tall bearded refugee 'children'.

And it's still the same thing. You step out of line with the politics of your employer and you get fired. It's the same on the far left as it is on the far right. You aren't making the case that the left is worse...you're making the case that they both are equally bad.

Man, it's both gratifying and deeply sad watching the fringe right devour its Uncle Toms.

Though it is strange she is canned for having a pretty non-controversial view.

*Laughs his ass off*

Maybe it wasn't the fact she's pro life, but that she exhibited sufficient critical thinking skills to point out that small government is incompatible with wanting the government to tell you what you can do with your own body. Anathema.

Uncle Tom, what a nice way to talk about someone. As if your ideology owns people and if they leave the reservation you've assigned then its a grave sin.

That's about the nicest thing anyone could say about Tomi Lahren.

Your dislike of her is purely political however. I might dislike her for her content, style and presentation. You purely hate her for not being amenable to your politics.

[Auxora]

I listen to The Blaze fairly often even though there are many times I don't agree with Glenn Beck or the other folks on his show. There are times I do agree with him, and sometimes he has some interesting discussions. Tomi Lahren generally is also an idiot put in that position just to have someone on The Blaze to appeal to younger conservatives.

It is disappointing though that he'd suspend her simply over having a position on 1 topic that doesn't align with stereotypical conservatism. It actually makes Glenn Beck seem like the hypocritical one since he's always talking about finding middle ground and trying to see the view of the other side even if he doesn't agree with them. Then he responds like this if it's doing that in the other direction instead of just asking progressives to give in on their positions. This type of thinking is so simple and flawed, to think that there everyone has to be binary left or right and align down the list 100% with every position in that direction. They must not realize there are progressives that are pro gun rights or anti-abortion even though they are progressive in most other areas, or pro-LGBT or pro-choice even though they are conservative in most areas. There isn't a rule that people have to align 100% with every single position a party has. Otherwise we need a new centrist party where people can have their own opinions without being ostracized.

I hate her for being a partisan troll, a patsy and a shill. The internet is awash with shit like that.

She actually earned some respect from me for uncharacteristically displaying enough independent critical thinking skills to have her own opinion on abortion, for the record.

If I understand the meaning of patsy or shill, you expect that she should "rightly" have the same political opinions as you?

Do you strictly define "independent thought" as something you agree with?

[Total Crica]

her own opinion on abortion

Her opinion on abortion isn't unique. I have held the same opinion on abortion for 25+ years.

What do I shill, other than that idiots who shitpost on the internet need making fun of?

I didn't mean she's the only pro choice person on earth...

[ati87]

You know 15 years ago before the age of youtube and facebook and during the age of myspace and bad 2000 movies based on bad 90's movies Lahren and Yiannopoulos and the likes would just be called 14 or 15 year old trolls you know.

They just take the same extreme talking points you can find when you listen to hypocrites like limbaugh and just add a young face to it. Honestly I can't imagine they believe even a fraction of the crap they spouse but I can believe that the people that listens to them like to give them allot of money just like they did with Palin.

[Total Crica]

Then is she just my shill, parroting what I think since she has the same opinion I have had for over 25 years?
