Republican civility
Dave's analysis at Orcinus is a must-read.
Of course, Nugent is just a fringe nutjob, right? All the responsible Republicans are tripping over themselves to denounce his lunatic violent rhetoric, right?
Let's take a look:
Michelle Malkin? Silence
Daniel W. Reilly at The Politico? "He didn't pull any punches." Ouch.
Sean Hannity? "I like Ted Nugent. He's a friend of mine."
They really do want to kill us all, you know.

I thought all the Republicans were trying deal with their own sexual repression and dysfunction.
ReplyDeleteWell, you learn something new every day, right?
They're sublimating their sexuality into violence. IIRC, I read an anthropology text many moons ago that asserted a strong correlation between sexual repression and structural violence: The more warlike the society, the more sexually repressed.
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting hypothesis, but I'm entirely unsure how well-supported it is by the evidence.
Sometimes I sit around thinking, "What if those conservatives are right?"
ReplyDeleteAnd then something like this comes around, and I realize that if they're right, I want to keep being wrong.
