When someone is in a cult and is exposed only to the news the cult wishes you to be exposed to, a cult member becomes hostile to anything that challenges that world view. The cultist is so wrapped up in their identity that anything from outside must clearly be explained away lest their whole world be shattered. That leads me to right-wing columnist and tv personality Michelle Malkin’s “analysis” of the NIE’s contents, specifically those segments that don’t follow along blindly witht the wingnut cult’s “them brown people is all eeeevil” thesis:
the big thing that strikes me about the key judgements is that they reflect a dhimmi, historically ignorant view of jihad more suited for the moonbat Left than our premier intelligence agencies
So according to Malkin, because the intelligence community isn’t calling for a Falwell-style holy war on Islam and the entire middle east — it’s clearly liberal propaganda.
I am neither stupid enough or crazed enough to make sense of that.
Reading Malkin is like reading a goddamned LaRouche pamplet. What the fuck does dhimmi mean? Is it rightwing code for Democrats?
Thanks for reading MM so we don’t have to!
“Thanks for reading MM so we don’t have to!”
Ahh, doug r. Thanks for the capsule snapshot of progressive intellectual discipline
Some friendly advice, Duggs: the more the right wing becomes like Malkin, the quicker it will lose the support of the country. Best to disassociate your movement from her blind hatred as much as possible. But I fear it’s too late at this point.
Dugger should pray daily for a new Bush movement. It might actually help pop Dugger’s head out of Bush’s ass and allow him to join the rest of us in the real world.
does anyone else see the sweater starting to unravel?
More schaudenfreude, please, its delicious.
Someone should make a demonstration video to give examples of the most extreme forms of physical treatment to be made legal by the GOP’s proposed legislation. It would be useful for the American public to understand exactly what is at issue.
