In The Course Of Your Insult, You Fail At Facts

1:33 am EST July 18th, 2008 | News | 6 Comments

Ramesh Ponnuru of National Review discusses Matt Yglesias joing Center For American Progress and throws this one in:

“When CAP was formed I expected it to be a cut above, say, Media Matters”

CAP was formed before Media Matters ever opened its doors. In fact, CAP helped Media Matters get started. So, it would be impossible for Ponnuru to hope that CAP would be “a cut above” Media Matters, because Media Matters did not exist.

    I guess it’s a slow blog day.

    I thought one of the founding concepts on Media Matters is pointing out that right-wingers aren’t just stupid, but most often too lazy to even use Google.

    Because it’s so normal for Republican’ts to make up their facts that no one should notice it, or should care that it happens every day all day, any more?

    Maybe this is an internets tradition that some are not aware of…

    Silly August, everyone knows that the Google is a left-wing loony liberal disinformation service, like Wikipedia. It’s simple to prove: type in “barack obama” and you get 56,100,000 hits; type in “john mccain” and you only get 36,800,000. QED.

    Not only are right-wingers stupid, anti-intellectual and pro-ignorance, they are also massive asshats. Special bonus!

    This just in, Ramesh Ponnuru is an overpaid, overhyped pseudo-intellectual windbag. Breaking!

    There you go presenting facts again! Why should facts get in the way of a perfectly formed mindset?
