Sideous, your comment comparing them to Aspergers children was rude and insensitive. Kids with Aspergers are actually capable of learning and functioning in the normal world.

Rich Tzrupek,

You could have just read it aloud and added a laugh track.

Very well said, Rich! I am of an identical mind, but unlike you I actually get disappointed when “the other side” doesn’t make a good argument for their stances. Like you I want to make sure I’m on the right team, but I guess I keep hoping there are folks out there much smarter than me who will figure a way out of the many messes we’re in.

Good thing you good men are out there, taking the bullet for us!

I do agree with that. whenever I have that (usually lasts a microsecond) feeling that perhaps I’m not fully comprehending where the Left is coming from, articles such as this, or Maddow, or any of those people, put me right back on track. No, I’m not just hallucinating: They really are this deluded.

I think they suffer from some form of Stockholm Syndrome. These same kind of people were throwing parties for Che’ while he was threatening to blow up their city. They spend their days trying to come up with some sort of moral equivalence for criminal behavior.

There are few pleasures in the blogging world that exceed a good fisk’ing.

Mr. Sid – I know what you mean, but I also find garbage like this rather reassuring. I read it and I think: “OK, so THAT’S how they’re thinking? Yep that is indeed what they are thinking. Well, I’m still on the right team…”

There’s always a fear that I’m missing something important. (Even though it is, as Frank Lloyd Wright observed, difficult to be humble when you know you’re great, I do try to stay grounded). Stuff like Steinberg’s continues to reassure me that I haven’t missed anything important, at least on this particular issue.

That’s my question: How does someone this idiotic not only find this kind of work, but makes a living at it??

I started getting a headache. I guess that must be their stratergy – bury us under layers of idiocy that we despair of setting them right. Like trying to lecture a child with Aspergers.

For the record – this one was a whole lot of fun to write. I may have to spend the rest of my life doing this…

Who did he sleep with to get his job?
