Most of the "righty rights" here are as dumb as a doorknob. Loogy is a
lefty; he's also dumb as a doorknob. You're a moderate righty, and I don't
think you have been accused of being dumb.

You would be pleased to know that in another newsgroup that I infrequently
visit *I am considered to be very much to the left. * And dumb.

It's all relative.
I admit though, *Olbermann personifies the elitist attitude to which I was
referring.
He's not helping unite anybody, that's for sure.

Olbermann is making money, same as O'Reilly -- they're both pompous
asses at their worst and sensible at their best. *Glenn Beck is insane
and Sean Hannity is a liar.

What's the other newsgroup, rec.welovehannity, rec.colddeadhands,

1. CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.


Extremists often attack the character of an opponent rather than deal
with the facts or issues raised. They will question motives,
qualifications, past associations, alleged values, personality, looks,
mental health, and so on as a diversion from the issues under
consideration. Some of these matters are not entirely irrelevant , but
they should not serve to avoid the real issues.
Extremists object strenuously when this is done to them, of course!

4. INADEQUATE PROOF FOR ASSERTIONS.

Extremists tend to be very fuzzy about what constitutes proof, and they
also tend to get caught up in logical fallacies, such as post hoc ergo
propter hoc (assuming that a prior event explains a subsequent
occurrence simply because of their before and after relationship). They
tend to project wished-for conclusions and to exaggerate the
significance of information that confirms their beliefs while
derogating or ignoring information that contradicts them. They tend to
be motivated by feelings more than facts, by what they want to exist
rather than what actually does exist. Extremists do a lot of wishful
and fearful thinking.
