like a good explanation for the Red State mentality.
I recently wrote comments on a blog article, and the response came from a right-winger who not only didn't answer my points but began writing down the content of a tape that was recorded in his head, stringing a bunch of Limbaugh-esque talking points together.
Here's his tirade:
"Democrats go to Baghdad on the eve of war, vouch for the honesty of a tyrant like Saddam Hussein, and call the President of the United States a liar. They make up stories of an impending military draft and use it as campaign rhetoric. They join themselves to a paranoid fabulist and monger of conspiracy theories like Michael Moore and invite him to be an honored guest at their party's national convention. They find any public mention of religion (by a Republican, that is) offensive, but defend almost any outlandish behavior of sexual perverts. When they invariably lose national elections, they agree with anti-American foreigners that Americans are "stupid." They blame the U.S. for every single problem that exists in the world and find nothing at all honorable in our history or in anything in which we are presently engaged. The few who even go so far as to say, "I love my country," quickly follow with, "BUT..." And -- perhaps most damaging of all -- they propagate offensive, completely insane crap like you just did about the president being a Nazi and our country drifting toward fascism and/or theocracy. Yes, things are quite different now, because the Democratic Party has been taken over by the stark raving insane far-left extremists. God help us all."
Obviously, this guy has been watching too much Fox, listening to too much Limbaugh, and reading the Wall Street Journal editorial page and getting too little truth.
Just for one thing, the president of the United States is a liar.
