...they just won't go away.
By rights, American conservatism should be dead or on life support by now. -Gary Kamiya, in The Coulterization of the American right
First question, by rights? Why?
Kamiya also wrote, now that its ideology has been exposed as empty and its leadership incompetent and corrupt, free-floating hatred is the only thing it has to offer. Of course while informing us of this right-wing hatred he offered these kind words about conservatives:
"vacuous bottom-feeders"
"factually challenged right-wing hack"
"pathetic figure"
"marginally less creepy"
"vulgar"
"bigoted"
"know-nothing"
"slimy Gollum"
"obsessive mean-spiritedness"
"unhinged"
"obsessive mean-spiritedness"
"intellectual sterility"
And my favorite, "Christo-jihadists."
Is this just another example of what Elliot calls the George Carlin rule, "all of your stuff is $h!t and all of my $h!t is stuff?" Or is it something deeper, like hatred, intolerance and bigotry? |
