Liberals believe in derailing any discussion that becomes thoughtful enough that their own ideas are treated with anything but instant acceptance. They believe in marginalizing the opposition as a primary means of exchanging ideas. They believe in prerationalism. “So, we’re all on board, right?” is the only sentiment they see as valid in any meeting-of-the-minds about anything…they don’t know what to do with dissent and they don’t even know what to do with questions.Except … on that last part, they know what to do. Or at least, they are consistent about what they do. They go to the well. Ridicule. Baseless ridicule, that is. A sneering tone, a few baseless insults, implying that anyone who disagrees with their ridicule and insult is by definition an idiot. So it’s really more of the same.
And the BISHORL comes from Morgan's friend Mike Simone:
I know. The second seems at face value to be an example of the first. But I've got things besides quoting Tina Fey or hollering "money grubber" or "quitter" (or slut???) to back that up.If you voted for Obama in ‘08 to prove you’re not a racist, you’ll need to vote for someone else in ‘12 to prove you’re not an idiot.
Speaking of that, could somebody point me to someone on Fox News using the kind of language that gets you a week's forced vacation on MSNBC?)
