Flat Earth Society

2:06 pm EST June 16th, 2005 | Republicans | 3 Comments

I shouldn’t be surprised by these things, but still… I find the response of the right-wing parasites who have attached themselves to the Schiavo family to be repulsive. The results of the autopsy are as clear as day: she died a long time ago. But still, they insist that scientific data is just like any other political argument – that there are two sides to it.

This is the mindset that dominates the right, and why they have no regard for concrete facts. If the info doesn’t suit their world view, they just disregard it, and turn on Fox News to be propagandized.

    Be careful with your characterizations, dude.

    The Right, in Schiavo´s beginning…

    …sometime during the middle…

    …and the final call.

    I´ve been reading these guys for years, and they represent a sizeable constituency of the Right (most of the same guys who watch South Park). Be careful of lumping the smart ones in with the idiots.

    Stupid is as stupid does, right? No matter how “smart” they purport to be, will they still vote for the jackasses who staged the Schiavo grandstanding? Will they still vote for the party that wants to sh-tcan Social Security? Will they still vote for the party that is attempting to dismantle every last check and balance of what’s left of US democracy? And so forth.

    One more question: what does it say about the mental health of our society when watching “South Park” is considered evidence of ‘smarts’?

    Now, if you’d said “Deadwood,” I’d have thought you were on to something…

    In answer to your first question…no, they won´t. I read them carefully, and they´ve made their dislike of Bush pretty clear. So there you have it.

    In answer to your second question, I don´t think I said anywhere that watching South Park is evidence of “smarts.”

    …

    Just checked. Nope.

    I´m not defending the Right; I just like it when people are accurate.
