Entry: Heil Hillary? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/heil_hillary#15527 Post contents: Dr. Gottfried - Perhaps you have already read enough of Jonah to come to this realization, but just in case: Jonah's modus operandi, when about to write on some Matter Of Great Import, is to put out a call to his reader(s), along the lines of "I want to write something on Subject X. Has anyone out there done any research on this topic that they share with me?" In other words, one would be hard pressed to place Jonah on any list of great researchers. (Or great thinkers, but that's something else altogether.) His research methodology reminds me (if my memory is still working) of the Saturday Night Live sketch "I Heard That Was Good", wherein the evening-jacket-clad host would provide reviews of popular movies, etc., without having seen them. Hence the title. Jonah is far too lazy to do the research for a scholarly tome, and his work product shows it. Archon - Nice try, but parroting Jonah's "intellectual" writing style - such as declaring false equivalencies - would have better results with NRO. Or, to provide balance, you could apply your same "logic" to the right wing. For example: >> Islamofascists and islamic terrorists believe they act according to the word of God. Sounds like right-wingers to me. << See how easy it is? But on a more serious note, regarding what right-wingers want: it's been my experience that both left and right want the government to constrain certain types of behavior that they find objectionable. The difference is that the right-wingers (A) Try to pretend that they're not (B) Seem to limit their objectionable-behavior list to matters primarily relating to sex. (Constraining things which might harm persons other than themselves? Not so much.) Sent at: 2008 05 16
