Typical Democrats

[DOOM]

If it's a class on rhetoric, arguing something insane is nothing strange. The focus is on the rhetoric, not the subject. Making the subject insane helps maintain the focus.

She wasn't arguing...  It had nothing to do with the subject of the class...  She just brought up one day that she hated Bush and would like to kill him...

If that's an article written by someone who thinks the Republicans have delusions, I see nothing wrong in that headline in itself. It all depends on the purpose of the article, if it's supposed to be neutral, etc, though.

The article wasn't about the College Republicans having delusions, it was just about them.  Someone on the Daily Iowan's staff changed the headline to the comment about delusions, simply because they don't like Republicans, it had nothing to do with the subject of the article.  And even if the article was about their "delusions" (which it wasn't), why would such a partisan biased article have any place on the front page of a newspaper?  That sounds more fit for the Editorial section.

That's an interesting thing. Just out of the blue?

I.e. someone on the staff did a prank, changing the headline of an article?

It's actually very common in our higher level schools (and even in high schools, but not as much.) The students end up paying for a course to be preached to the entire time about the professors liberal (I'm sure there's some conservative indoctrination too, but it's not as widespread since a lot of teacher (especially history) are Democrats) beleifs instead of learning the subject. I'd assume that's not so common in Sweden, or other countries.

Wow. I've never had a teacher preaching any politic beliefs other than democracy, free elections, that kind of thing. And that was in classes specifically related to study of society.

MF is right; Nazism & fascism are far right, communism is far left.

Why can't I get to be called "right"?

Yeah, it wasn't in context of anything we were really doing in the class.  The class itself was basically just a joke...  but it was required, so I had no choice but to take it.  This particular teacher never really wanted to do much actual work in the class.  She did like to preach about her own political views, however...

I guess if you want to just call it a prank.  It definitely is not responsible journalism...

Please note that I said they started off on the left. Thanks.  Read the descriptions on Wikipedia, btw.

So you're saying that the leaders of these parties had a sudden, inexplicable, extreme change in ideology?

Quote relevant parts? It seems to say they started as a strong opposing force to the communists (i.e. non-left), and that they appealed to voter as socialists, but didn't actually support leftist values (i.e. pretending, fooling stupid voters, in order to gain power).
