Althouse Almost Nearly Gets Close to Getting it.
Firstly the base lines. Blogging is an inherently self centered pursuit. Secondly, it is not likely to solve the nation's or world's problems. That being said,
few things are more entertaining to watch, than wing nuts fighting. Even blog to blog, which can get tiresome fast, can be entertaining. But I am not saying Althouse's go round with that racist, sexist piece of shit, @ Instapundit is entertaining. It actually is kinda sad stuff to see, really.
Close but not close enough to getting it.
In a nutshell, Althouse is taking issue with InstaSexistRacist's mischaracterizing of some argument she made about some aspect of humn sexuality and choices related. She takes pains to deconstruct the errors that InstaSexistRacist nmade regarding what she said. And I am not going to get lost in that briar patch. I will just say the following:
Yo! Althouse! How many fucking years have you been reading InstaSexistRacist (and how many other of these conservative lying sacks of shit) with out knowing that they lie? That is part of the Conservative play book. Strawman argument, followed by red herrings, and a few flat out lies is the usual format of a conservative argument. She stops short of that conclusion.
To make matters even sillier, she skips over the patently obvious. Shit bag professional conservatives like InstaSexistRacist are in fact sexist. And if they could they would take laws regarding women back to the 19th century!
But even more weird, she goes on a Rush Limbaugh sidebar. She claims to get his humor, but again misses the point. She claims he uses absurdity to highlight absurdity. Funny (meaning not so much) but his show does not appear to be a comedy show. He is a political hack, and advocate for the wing nuts and other right wing monsters. When one uses one's own warped and nasty and demeaning "sense of humor" while advodating specific positions on the political issues of the day, one is engaging in a stupid and foolish form of argument. But I say again:
Strawman argument, followed by red herrings, and a few flat out lies is the usual format of a conservative argument.
What do law professors tell their students? Never crack a joke in front of the judge? I am not saying Limbaugh has to live by such a harsh commandment. But he really has no skill as a comedian. And he and the rubes who listen to that shit should know, it is a stupid way to make a point.
Anyway, at the end Athouse deconstructs aspects of Dr Helen's ( InstaSexistRacist's wife I believe) poor excuse for social science (basically I understand it to be barely disguised wing nut propaganda) book. I repeat:
Strawman argument, followed by red herrings, and a few flat out lies is the usual format of a conservative argument.
Yes I deliberately followed the rule of repetition there. I actually think Althouse has known for years and years, that lies are the foundation of conservative arguments. I guess that she really doesn't give a shit, as long as it is not her that is being lied about.
