Sorry to go OT so soon, but this is too good to miss:
An open letter to Barack Obama: Change We Can Believe In
Including the opportunity to sign the letter.
First signature?
Rocky Anderson, former
moonbat-in-chiefmayor of SLC.And the letter itself is pure, Grade-A red meat for our side.

This quest for enemies consumes far left-wing partisans.
And there you have it. Proof that this place is infested with closeted far left-wing partisans!
How’d I not see the hand signals under my stall’s divider. I should have never ignored whatever was tapping my shoe while I shat. Mmmm, now I feel really betrayed. Goldstein is actually Bernie Sanders! And I fell for it!

thor, you just don’t get it.
The left looks for enemies and apostates, whereas the right looks for converts. That you incur abuse on this site is a testament more to your method of interaction with the regulars than it is to their character.
Those who disagree with us but who nonetheless display some humanity are not abused, cf. Lisa, who isn’t a conservative but she doesn’t think conservatives are Evil Incarnate. We dig Lisa and respond to her comments, even when she’s angry, in a reasonable fashion, because we know she’ll actually listen, even if she doesn’t ultimately agree.
Furthermore, the Right thinks that the Left is wrong, but the Left thinks the Right is evil. Read this article that is linked in the above article to see the actual evidence.

The Left certainly has its share of nutters, but really now, they don’t hold the patent.
Comment by dicentra on 8/5 @ 3:50 pm #
but really now, they don’t hold the patent.
They don’t have to. They just have to possess the underlying ethos:
Speaking for myself, I have no psychological need to see my enemies suffer–I only want them stopped so that the do no further harm. If that means passing blissfully into a painless coma or retiring to an island paradise in the Pacific, what do I care?

Everybody’s hanging out on the previous thread, aren’t they?

No…..lol

- thor and sashal were down to the usual cantankerous blubbering like some sort of waxy ooze remnant from a cancerous boil on M. Moores bulbous ass cheek, so there wasn’t much left to whack worth the time.

Exactly what is this “secular demonology” that has sucked all the humanity from the left and left “a deficit of the soul?” Sounds very sinister. Nice absolutist thinking there.

- cynn, I think most observers would limit that sentiment to the core faithful, the true lifelong believers in “teh cause”. A good percentage of the Left in any given generation are impressionable youth who have as yet to form any real life positions or deep seated personal investments, other than temporal raw emotions.
- the critical mass attraction to the youth lies mainly in the idea that the Left “seems” to flip off the system, which makes it kewlies.
- Yes its that superficial. Ask any of your older friends that are converts. The most common phrase I hear is “WTF could I have been thinking?”

Demonology is no more and no less than a cataloging and classifying of degrees of enmity that the Left feels towards its ideological enemies. Religions used to enumerate all the kinds of evil spirits and other supernatural boogie monsters back in the day; ergo, those who have cast off the harmful superstitions of the past leave out the supernatural part and categorize their fellow citizens according to their degree of evil.
Or was that a snide hypothetical question?

Baracky is a lot hateful I think. That little church he went to forever didn’t fuck around on the hating.
Comment by JD on 8/5 @ 5:48 pm #
dicentra - I tried to add my name and title to that letter. No luck.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 8/5 @ 5:50 pm #
I haven’t wished ill on any person who is politcally opposed to me. Even matoko, who I once said an elaborate ’screw you’ to, I do not wish real ill upon. I have squabbled with other commentors here, but wishing harm upon them?
No. It doesn’t cross that line for me. I wish to remain a civilized human; I wish to remain comfortable in my soul, to look back and say “I didn’t become a barbarian.”

Well, I was totally “wah00! Pass the beer!” when Arafat died, but thats about it.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 8/5 @ 6:47 pm #
Arafat’s in a different category altogether, urthshu. He isn’t a Ted Kennedy by any stretch of the immagination. No commenter or poster here quite reaches Arafat’s level of iniquity.
Comment by Hubris on 8/5 @ 6:54 pm #
Well, per his blog’s tag line, Mr. Douglas is one to “despise” rather than hate (and I’m sure he despises in “the descriptive, analytical sense.” Baby steps!
Comment by B Moe on 8/5 @ 6:58 pm #
I despise the hard-left radical agenda and discourse.
Agendas and discourse aren’t people, Hubris.
But I’ll bet you already knew that.
Comment by Hubris on 8/5 @ 7:05 pm #
Yes, I did. I’m sure that Douglas desires a vigorous, rational debate with the people whose hard-left agenda he despises. By the way–Obama is a Marxist. But you probably already knew that.
Comment by Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) on 8/5 @ 7:32 pm #
“By the way–Obama is a Marxist.”
- If you actually “know that” Hubris, you’re the sole individual in America that knows anything about Obama, since his handlers are making sure that on those rare occasions when hes forced to even partially express a definable position on even a single issue, a day or two later he retracts and espouses the exact opposite. As a Consequence hes a “non-candidate” with zero experience and zero character or characteristics. A winning combination fro a politician, if ever there was one. No doubt thats why hes doing so well in the polls.
- But then I’m sure you knew that.

They’re not hand signals, they’re foot signals.
Just sayin’…

And, ya know, i can be aggressive, but I don’t think I have ever wished evil on a progressive.
My best friend (more like my brother) is so far left that it makes my head spin, and before we just agreed to not talk about politics, he would go insane if I said that the budget “surplus” when Clinton left office was only a projection, and that with the crashing of the economy (2000), that projection meant nothing. He went nuts and told me that that money was in the bank, and that Bush had spent it.
YEESH! How do you deal with that?
I don’t think you can, unfortunately.
GO! O!
Comment by Mikey NTH on 8/5 @ 7:54 pm #
Sen. Obama didn’t even publish when he was a law professor. Talk about keeping yourself as a blank slate.
Comment by cynn on 8/5 @ 10:11 pm #
BMoe: If it’s any interest, I had to slap myself and remember that B Moe and his/her cohorts can be right on.
