There are posts, and then there are posts done well. Taking the same tact as myself, but with more research and less colorful invective, David Neiwert absolutely spanks Michelle Malkin for her paltry and destructive contribution to national discourse. Other than the overwhelming profusion of contra-examples to Michelle's line of crap, the true meat of David's post is this:
Because in the pursuit of that agenda, the conservative movement has become a take-no-prisoners, scorched-earth entity, whence so much of the ugliness in our current discourse arises. A lot of it, as I've examined at length previously, is deeply personal stuff, and the effect on our personal lives has been lasting and profound.
The chief, overarching argument of the conservative movement, in essence, has been that liberals are the sole and primary cause of everything that is wrong both with America and with the world at large. What kind of reasonable discourse is possible, really, when that is the starting point of the conversation?
Sad for me to admit, but I guess some things are better left to the professionals. Well done, David.
