Thankfully they are called out by another Washington Post writer, Ezra Klein. Still, after all these years, I gotta ask: Why can’t conservatives be decent and honest when they try to make their points?

This would be the same George Will who once dedicated an entire frickin’ column to declaring war on denim blue jeans. This is just more proof that he’s got far, FAR too much time on his hands.
Why can’t conservatives be decent and honest when they try to make their points?
Are you allowed to claim less than 67 minutes after claming Republicans “vote for rape”?
I’m sorry the people in your party voted for rape.
‘Why can’t conservatives be decent and honest when they try to make their points?’
Because honest, fact based debates by the GOP will make baby Jesus a Satanist.
@SaveFarris: they voted for rape. Get over it.
Perhaps George F. Will believes that President Obama doesn’t speak as the previous [technical] President. One can’t help but recall Mr. Will’s: “Bush’s terseness is Ernest Hemingway seasoned with John Wesley.”
This did not sit well with Norman Mailer:
There’s a reason they call ‘em Teh Classics.
Any time people try to prove points by analyzing word usage my eyes glaze over. By picking and choosing what data you use, you can prove pretty much anything. Hell, just look at Anne Coulter’s horrorshow of a research method, she does very little research and uses misleading tactics to make it seem like things she is suggesting are true, when they are verifiably false. This is like the silly right wing myth that “advanced literary analysis” by “language composition experts” has shown that William Ayers edited Dreams of My Father and did a substantial rewrite. Of course, since there isn’t any real world evidence (in a court room setting, its call it circumstantial evidence, and despite what you see on Law and Order, its the most reliable evidence you can get), the story doesn’t really have any traction, but they will keep screaming about it as long and as loud as possible.

I heard that Al Gore said he invented the Internet. It’s true! Well, that’s what I heard anyway.

OK, I’ll listen to what you have to say to show that it wasn’t.
What reason do you see for voting against a measure that allows victims to report crimes?
The fact that a far left blogging hack like Ezra Klein is employed to write for the Washington Post tells you all you need to know about the Washington Post, and one of the main reasons why they are in decline.
What reason do you see for voting against a measure that allows victims to report crimes?
For the noblest of all possible reasons for conservatives to do anything. To piss of liberals.
Translation of OxyCon’s post: “I can’t actually refute anything that Ezra Klein wrote at the link that Oliver provided, so I’m just going to call him a name.”
