I repeated every Karl Marx quote I could think of until I reached my own ‘historic inevitability’ and launched surge after surge from my hairy boda bag. |

Um. I think Al Franken does a better job of taking her apart, don't you? When sane people descend to this level of commentary, the insane have a tendency to throw it in our faces. I know that if I visit LGF or some other right wing blog they'll be saying how this is symptomatic of the left's immaturity and lack of rational arguments. And they'll be right. |

Oh come along, Kev old m8. I'm sure you laugh at a quite-well-written string of knob gags as much as the rest of us. I'd hardly call one silly blog a symptom of left-wing politics' immaturity; it's unreasonable to expect a leftist "united front" against coulter and her vile ilk. Sane people don't like her, and so they churn out a few cheap shots... the nutcases can piss and moan as much as they want. |

"I know that if I visit LGF or some other right wing blog they'll be saying how this is symptomatic of the left's immaturity and lack of rational arguments. And they'll be right." Ker-ching! We have a winner. Bad mouthing people in this manner may be amusing, but it actually works in their favour as it makes your "camp" look like a bunch of children. |

"...left's immaturity and lack of rational arguments." immature, yes. irrational? no way. the problem is that the conservatives have always been totally comfortable with lying and distorting information to win each argument, and the few left pundits can't get away with it. when i see cnn or any of those bullshit debate shows, it's like something out of a school yard bullying session. the way folks like o'reilly can get them in one of these inescapable headlocks is fascinating, really. the unfortunate liberals they occasionally have on those shows to try and dismember are the voices of reason and logic, but that is nowhere near as effective as the rawness of the conservatives', "you would say that you liberal! don't you realize that the thing you just said is WRONG?! god, you're stupid!" etc. guess which person joe average winds up listening to. the insane yelling loud man rather than the nerdy quiet one. no surprises there. |

The republicans are destroying the democrats in the political arena right now. They are taking control of the debates and framing them using their own terms. Like in the one nation under god pledge of allegiance debate, they're somehow able to frame the debate as patriots versus athiests (which it's not). pro-life vs. pro-abortion, against the current war in iraq? why do you hate freedom and want our troops to die?, either you're with us or against us.. it's very hard to debate successfully when the conservatives are so effective at framing the debates in these terms. in order to do so means that the liberals have to go all the way back and explain how the entire premise of the argument is flawed. when they try to do this they are easilly dismissed as avoiding the question, or their response goes right over the heads of the listener. |

Guys like O'Reilly are playing to an audience that is not terribly bright or at the very least not very well informed and easy to manipulate. So yeah, all they have to do is come across like dominant alpha gorillas and they've won by default. I mean, who are you gonna listen to? Some spindly liberal with his inconsequential facts or a big robust silverback gorilla grunting and pounding the table? The current right-wing style (and it's been used by the Communists in Russia, the Fascists in Italy, etc.) works because it appeals to deep neurological predispositions in our species - and what the liberals are trying to do is make brussel sprouts sound more appealing than a chocolate hot fudge sundae. It's an uphill battle. |

The difference is that Karl Rove would approach this not by posting a satirical essay but by starting a smear campaign that an enemy pundit was fond of being sodomized. Seed it from enough different anonymous sources and it becomes "true". There was a documentary on Karl Rove on PBS recently that was jaw-dropping - he's been honing his dirty smear tactics since the Nixon admionistration. |

That's awesome. I was beginning to think that no one was really aware of what the conservatives were doing. At least, I hardly ever hear anyone mentioning this. Instead, I just see liberals tripping over themselves and being confused as to what stance they should take. |

it seems like there isn't nearly enough liberals who understand what's going on, and even if there are, they certainly don't do anything about it. most democrats aren't even liberals anyway - they're moderates or right-wing. and anything that isn't democrat or republican becomes the extremist lunatic fringe. so it seems that progressives are paralyzed. |

Yeah, it's all a PR battle, and the good guys are losing. I blame the internets. |

has an intereting take - I haven't read the site extensively but I like the idea of calling repugs "cheap labor conservatives". |

If the Democrats could somehow remove the abortion issue from their platform, they would trounce the Republicans. But as long as you have shrews like Ann Coulter, Rush AND the Moral Majority Democrats will always be the party of 'scissors in a fetus head'. The Democratic party is now not only up against big business, gun nuts, and most major news outlets- but also most organized religions. Thanks to Dub-ya's "faith based intiative" church's now can compete directly with non-profits for federal dollars and they can refuse to hire people to work in their programs based on their religion. It was a very slick move on the Republicans part- legalizing politics in the pulpit. |

I don't know who she is but I laughed hard due to some cracking phrases which have all been mentioned earlier on so I won't mention them again. There. |

And now they're working to remove justices that don't toe the Republican party line. Did you read Al Gore's on this? |

the whole "activist judges" thing is a fucking rediculous farce that i can't believe anyone is buying into. it really blows my mind. |
