It sounded far too much like that Ann Coulter doll I gave you for Christmas, and backed itself up with just as much hard evidence (none.)<BR/><BR/>It reminded me of the only other townhall blog entry I have ever read: "the sex-box race for president," an alarmist attack on the video game industry that claimed Mass Effect was the world's most advanced virtual sex simulator. The author admitted to knowing nothing about the game other than that it was somewhat controversial, and proceeded to fabricate patently untrue information to make his point. The truth about the game was eventually acknowledged, but somehow he maintained that his arguments were still sound. <BR/><BR/>You can't win an argument with a willfully ignorant person. They simply stick their fingers in their ears and yell at the top of their lungs.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569180426066178711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965783081453060079.post-116205311921025822008-06-30T01:32:00.000-04:002008-06-30T01:32:00.000-04:00That Townhall piece was terribly written; it had n...That Townhall piece was terribly written; it had nothing to do with Obama and was just a tirade about liberals, all generalizations and no facts. It also had a grammar error on the top of the second page, which just made it even better. And all the comments just echoed the author's--that actually made me more mad than the article itself. <BR/><BR/>And yay for posting again!

Excellent!<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure I saw red reading that op-ed, the likes of which I normally only see when I read my own paper's editorials (this one, by the way, would fit right in there). I definitely agree with your take on the whole situation, and it frustrates me that there are people on BOTH sides of the political spectrum who are willing to paint the other side in the broadest terms. It apparently doesn't occur to many segments of the population that people are impassioned by different issues, and place different weight and focus on different issues.<BR/><BR/>Plus, his whole dichotomy about Iraq and Sudan was particularly ridiculous.petplutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053307189721906583noreply@blogger.com
