Brietbart engulfed


    Today's Cultural Comment



Res Ipsa Loquitur

The screen cap is from Google news.  I haven't read the article, but Savage's question went through everyone's mind.  The real story is the atmosphere that prompts such thought.  I'm not close to suspecting foul play here, but guess what?  The Obama regime's manifest  use of thugs; disdain for the law, constitution, and their general deportment made the question automatic.  If it smells like a Schickelgruber, talks like a Schickelgruber, it's almost certainly Schickelgruber.

What intrigued me about the ABC news citation was the text chosen to sell the article.

.I would never take a shot at anyone who just died, however I will comment on your generalization. I seem to remember the comments from the right after Ted Kennedy died.

I know,  the media have pretty much stopped hiding their Liberal militancies, but this seemed beyond the pale.   The article itself was peppered with Sherod and Acorn stuff, every bit as disingenuous as what they charge Brietbart with.  But,  the selected (by Google) sparkle actually came from the comments.  If ever you doubt existence of an unbridgeable ideological gulf  between the reasonable and them— it be SMASHED.

[...] Saul Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals” is about as radical as “Mary Poppins” The most radical thing he proposed was that ghetto residents who couldn’t get their garbage picked up should place some of that garbage in front of the homes of city councilmen.

[...] “But it also must be said that this man’s form of “activism” was built on sowing division, hatred and falsehood.” –

[...]
I cannot respect a man who repeatedly deliberately lies. This one did so many times and in so many ways. The “edited” speeches were only the tip of the iceberg. He was not an honest man. He will not be missed by those who, even if they agreed with his basic ideas, deplored his methods of making his points.

[....]  Please make YOURSELF clearer. For instance, give us a few documented examples of President Obama’s lying/falsehoods and sowing of division and hatred.

Different planet.  These comport with what can be found on TWITTER .   I don't like them; nor they me.  I want nothing whatever to do with them, except to sell them things.  I certainly don't want to be governed by them.

Ive grown to where I just smile and nod to my liberal associates. You know, as you would a child or a 'diferently abled' person. "Show me where he lied!" It's like trying to explain nuclear physics to a dog.

Me too, because so many are people I love. Don't even mention politics around them anymore. It does no good, and I'm confident they will all, after I'm gone, say - "Holy Sh*t- Dad was right!Hide the kids and don't answer the door!"

I have likened talking to liberals as trying to have a discussion about golf but he doesnt believe in gravity. before you can even get to talking about the issue you must first explain basic principles of your worldview. principles that are not colored by your political stance, basic tenants of reality you took for granted. i am convinced that our perceptions are completely unrelated and upon seeing a dog he sees a dolphin

I would have had someone around me at all times if I were he.

For all of you searching for the perfect metaphor, it is the classic, "Trying to teach a pig to sing".

A. You can't.
B. It annoys the pig.

P.S. It's OK, we're going to be hanging these motherfuckers by the bushel before it's over... or vice versa.

Stop selling them things.

They can go live in a cave and eat rabbits, as far as I am concerned.

That's right, Kristopher, it would be better for the planet that way.

Casca's correct.
It's a reality issue. Lib/Progs/Socialists truly believe things because they ought to be true or because they need to be true for their little fantasy world to make sense.
You cannot disabuse them of these notions with reasoned argument or fact.
That is why there's such a disconnect and why there's such hostility to conservative realism — it is a threat to their fundamentalist "religion," their whole self.

I always say Obama lost me when he threw Jeremiah Wright under the bus.
Not that I ever supported him at all, but it makes libs shut up and think about his substance - sometimes, for the few that actually think.
