Pat
Dollard introduced this video of leftists, wrathful over their failure
to get Duck Dynasty thrown off the air, as "Typical
Black MSNBC Racist Dyson Compares Phil Robertson To Sodomizer ..."
Aren't we at the point where any commentary containing the
letters MSNBC
in the lede is fair warning of what's coming? A Mack Sennett
silent
film, replete with Keystone cops and people dangling from tall
buildings? The Three Stooges poking each other in the eye?
For me,
this Michael Eric Dyson (also an MSNBC All-Star) statement is the
money shot of the entire imbroglio.
"They
have turned this into a matter of free speech; the irony of that
is
they don't want more speech to counteract their negative vicious
offensive and ..."
Beauty. And they are obviously able to see
truth in
their own bizarre logic. It was right about here that I thought
of another
perfect analogy. Perhaps the most well known and
referenced clip from Plato's Republic
is the Cave Allegory. It strikes me as the perfect explanation
for today's cloistered left. From Wiki:
 "Plato
has Socrates describe a gathering of people who have lived chained to
the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people
watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of a
fire behind them, and begin to ascribe names to these shadows.
According to Plato's Socrates, the shadows are as close as the
prisoners get to viewing reality."
When one of the chained is released into the real world, he is
astounded. When he goes back to the cave to tell his brethren
that
everything they've learned from the shadows is false, they would kill him if
they could for questioning what they learned in Professor José Ángel Gutiérrez's
classroom.
