Re: Lemme Try This

You almost have it.

Various righty readers email to say that Pat Robertson is not the authentic face of the Right.

I wish I agreed with that. But, sadly, he is its very image today.

I agree with you, but the rhetoric is very problematic. I imagine you recognize that, which is why the tentative post title.

But I know I get annoyed when someone or other conflates some specific personage with "The Left", which, anyway, is represented by Norbizness.

Where is the outrage on the right over Pat Robertson? That's what I want to know.

It's only a matter of time before someone claims to be outraged by the outrage.

Robertson has infinitely more importance on the right than Churchill has on the left. He's not in any way a marginal figure; along with Dobson and a few others, he one of the most important leaders of Bush's core constituency -- about 30% of the electorate. Loony Armageddonists have an influence on US foreign policy. (The comforting mainstream story is that the Bush team is duping and using the Armageddonists, but there's absolutely no reason to believe that. The Bush team may or may not care about abortion, but they're sincere about Armageddon.)

The outrage is on backorder.

Joe (in 3, ignoring later posts, as per custom): you sound to me like a righty rightist conservative right-leaning rightista. It's unfortunate that your party represents not the American MainStream TM, but instead the right-leaning far righty conservative righty righty tighty whitey interest groups that congregate in the barren stretches of waste land between the two coasts (and great lakes area).

If politicking were a stream, you would not swim in the stream, nay, you would be far up the right bank with all the other whitey righties, wearing your starched nighties and watching Mighty Aphrodite (odd in that Woody Allen is no friend of the blighted righted).

Is it wrong to do this, when the other side has won elections in like fashion?
