Rightwing Mind Readers

I love a typical set up from the Rightwing Arguer's Club ™. "The left thinks...(insert thing they want to say "the left" thinks) Or "The left secretly hopes that..."

Besides the fact that the left is not a monolithic group (neither is the right for that matter), it is just a silly premise. And Rusty Shackleford over in the comments section of Media Matters points that out.

the point

the point is that many of you secretly hope coulter keeps it up and spouts more of her patented rhetoric, even though you rant and rave on these message boards of how offended and revolted you are. when in fact you can then elevate her and say "well, she speaks for all conservatives, now doesn't she?".

however, i am not naive enough to think the right doesn't do the same thing with some of the left bomb-throwers.

Hey Righty


the point is that many of you secretly hope coulter keeps it up and spouts more of her patented rhetoric, even though you rant and rave on these message boards of how offended and revolted you are.

Righty, I'm thinking of a number between one and a hundred. What is it?

cute

can you really deny that entrenched ideologists from both sides really relish the other sides' bomb throwing personalities? of course they do, because instead of substantive informative debate, the discussion sinks to the lowest common denominator of insults and inflammatory language. you know it's true, even if they all say it isn't so.

It wasn't 58

You're just saying that to mask the identiry of the real number you were thinking, like all the liberals on this site do whenever they want to appear calm but deep down they are really thinking of a hateful number like 57.

WDM

Are you trying to tell me that both sides don't really think of 57 when they say they're thinking of 58? My larger point is that we should all think of 58. It's sad when either side is really thinking of 57 when they say they think of 58. All I really really want is for both sides to engage in civilized 58, not go back and forth with all this childish 57. The left used to be a viable bunch of 58ers but now, sadly, they are stuck on 57.

58, 57, where did you get that?

Everyone knows the ultimate answer is 42!

Either way, your planet is doomed - DOOMED

42? A third-party candidate? Go ahead - THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY.

I especially like the references to "Young Frankinstien, The Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy and the Simpsons."


Rusty Shackleford is a very funny person. WDM with the assist.
