The respect my opinions line is one of the worst things that ever happened to political debate. Forced to restrain themselves by an imaginary rule of courtesy, all the right-thinking people who would eviscerate this dumb cunt must sit on their hands.
I mean just LOOK at this opening paragraph:
"With midterm elections just past us and the 2008 presidential campaign heating up, I can't help but remember the nightmares that were the 2004 elections. I know a lot of you are nodding in agreement right now, thinking, "Yeah, I can't believe those morons voted for him!" Don't agree with me too fast, though: I'm one of those "morons.""
After a billion words of Golden Mean Rationalization, "I back a fascist pinhead, but I do so in a sensible and mature fashion" type ratiocination, she plunks down this niggardly little chunk of self-defense: "I know that many people still think that I and more than half the nation are morons for voting the way we did. It would be easy to say the same about them, but I won't. I like that we are allowed to voice different opinions. To those who oppose my views, I only hope that you can respect mine as much as I respect yours. If there's one thing we should be able to agree on, it's that healthy, civil discourse is always a good thing."
And she's pro-life, too. Nothing says "I respect your opinion" like forcing someone to have a baby.
This is the Crazy Republican Vision Of Political Discourse. It goes like this: everybody has a voice and everybody can talk! So let's all talk about things, then we Republicans will do whatever we want. |
