Posted by Bill ... is just an awesome post: Karol’s argument represents a legitimate opinion—and exposes a problem many people have with the progressive worldview that feels the need to establish its bona fides with knee jerk self-criticism before it can dare criticize others / Others. Comparing—even obliquely—the situation of women in Saudi Arabia to that of women here, causes many people in the center and on the right (and probably a few pragmatic Dems, too) to tune out. In fact, such mannered, rote, forced introspection is the reason CNN and the networks lost so many viewers after 911. It’s the reason people have cancelled their subscriptions to major newspapers. In it’s desire to spread the offense and so avoid the charge of making a directed rebuke (which rebuke would invariably be labeled racist, imperialist, sexist, homophobic, etc), it ends up putting people off and soft-peddling the abhorent behavior it starts out to criticize.

Furthering, and not criticizing or analyzing, the agenda (America bashing this time, as far as I can tell) at any moral cost is a leftwing cornerstone. The agenda is sacrosanct regardless of subject. The labels are curiously akin to being hooted down with shouts of "counter-revolutionary" at a party gathering when one would sway even slightly from dogma. All they have to do is issue a new fatwah to cover any loose ends. and, But if you read through that the thread at Rox Populi, where moderate Repubs and independents explained what needs happen to the Dem Party before they’d consider voting that way again, you’ll note that, about midway through, the response from the leftists who showed up to hijack the conversation is to suggest that all those purporting to be “moderates” are in fact “liars,” Above, more extreme left standard procedure in use for nine decades- scream louder and shift the point of the debate to a place non-existent. "hijack" is the appropriate term. All tactics, no substance.

I understand that the Dan Rathers & Pinch Sulzbergers are Vietnam era ideologues who don't know they're Vietnam era ideologues, but the faceless guys at the TOP only care about the bottom line. You'd think they'd clean house Posted by: jeff at October 11, 2005 02:06 AM Look! I'm not the one who said Joran Van der Sloot is gay. I've heard he was gay, and I've talked to guys who claim to have slept with him, but I never slept with him. Maybe Joran Van der Sloot is gay. That doesn't make him innnocent. Maybe he killed her because Natalee was with his boyfriend. Maybe his boyfriend is bi-sexual, and killed Natalee, and Joran helped dispose of her body. All I'm saying is that I never said Joran was gay.
