As sure as QO posts his outrage you can be sure that others anywhere on the left will arrive to start name-calling anybody who has been perceived to say something remotely on the right. Hmmm... racist, lazy, naive, sheep, magats, uneducated, etc. I myself have been called half of those names.
I'm guessing it takes five or so people to hold QO in check? Is that it? *giggles in text*
The lack of self awareness is interesting. It's like watching Lord of the Flies in real time. Live action, baby!
Lol, I hope you feel better after churning out that little mini-diatribe that, considering this site's overall political leanings, shows a lack of some sort of awareness!
I think the only person who says stuff on the right who regularly gets mocked is Quaker. Of current active members that is -- CC's various names definitely did, but that seemed rooted more in general idiocy and not being right-wing. Mainly because of his over-the-top hyperbole and often-hypocritical arguments (ie: complaining about media bias one day and then posting links from a biased right-wing media site the next). He comes off less as "concerned conservative" and more the sort of loopy caricature of a conservative that a sketch comedy show would portray in an attempt to make them look insane in the eyes of others.
Now, it does seem like when the more left-wing members of the site (Ptown, Gblock) have opinions that differ from the norm, that's when the "five or so people to hold in check" really comes into play (maybe not with *giggles* included!) because I do remember threads just like this one devolve into a page or two of non-stop circular arguments because one of them said something that went against the grain, so everything else got put on hold until they got put in place and "the way things are" got asserted again.
