He has almost not capacity for seeing the foolishness in what he 
says. He actually takes pride in being stupid and repeating the same 
tired discredited arguments over and over.

Yeah, I know it. What's truly appalling is that he feels no shame 
when called out on his blatant distortions and deceptive rhetoric. I 
am still waiting to hear back from Platt where exactly I "claimed 
tolerance and sensitivity", since he directly states I make such a 
claim. He also states outright that I "vehemently defend political 
correctness", and I gather I'll be waiting a long time for him to 
produce any evidence of that assertion as well. Its obvious these 
shameless rhetorical tricks are used on the Limbaugh program, and I 
think everyone expects that, but here I find them just embarrassing to us all.

But again, when all you offer is some Absurdo World where "them evil 
leftists wage war and bring tyranny against the liberty-loving, 
honest conservative", where "evil acerdemics plot to enslave mankind" 
and "the leftist media is the enemy", where every woe and issue that 
can be raised is at once and always the fault of those "commie 
socialist leftists" and conservatives are always honest, genuine 
citizens concerned with liberty and freedom (well, not counting gay 
marriage or a woman's freedom to be topless on the same beach that 
men are allowed to be) there is really little chance of ever rising 
above that manure.

I'm telling ya, if you haven't heard O'Reilly finally call these guys 
out for what they are (and the expected rabid attacks on him by the 
right), you should check it out. He does (rightly) also call out the 
leftists (my god, is he actually calling them BOTH out!!?! Heavens!). 
Check it out.
