This image of oh-so-holier-than thou hate filled leftists really amuses me.

That's right, we here in Eugene are so post-hate that we can hope someone chokes to death because she's the hater. Get it? Apparently, Palin is so hateful with her hatefulness that she justifies a self-defense exception to the hate-free zone rule of being hate free. After all, anyone who is a patriot, a defender of free markets, or decides not to abort her less than perfect child, is full of hate. Oh yeah, she also made fun of the left's super-cool boyfriend, so she must die.

How dare she suggest that a thugged up, Chicago thug who never held any executive post and seemed to surround himself with hate-filled lefties (the good kind of hate, natch, the kind that bombs the Pentagon and says "God Damn America" after 9-11) would turn out to be the worst president ever, bumbling around from bad idea to bad idea while at the same time embarrassing himself on the world stage.

Yep, that's the Reader of the Teleprompter of the Free World bowing to the Mayor of Tampa, Florida; a feat he's performed around the world.

But back to the fungible hate filled leftists, here represented by the cognitive dissonance of the Eugenesters (The Eugenicals perhaps? After all, one theory of Palin hate is that they hate her cause she kept Trig instead of abortion)...

I am reminded of how liberals argue.

The first technique is more or less their meta self-defense against introspection. That is, they project. Just look at the signs. On one hand, the signs simply state "we hate you, Sara Palin. Please die." On the other hand, they obviously think they are the epitome's of anti-hate. Nope, sorry, hate-filled leftists, you are filled with hate. You hate so much you cleanse your communities and schools and mind from any disagreeing theories. As Reagan said, you are ignorant, you know so much that isn't so. All thoughts and facts contrary to your views are swept aside. ignored.

Technique number two in the hate-filled leftist playbook is the ad hominem personal attack. Let's say you point out that Obama had no idea what was in the Pelosicare bill and that he basically begged Pelosi to pass any bill titled "Healthcare Reform" regardless of any costs or operations and that the end result is going to be a gigantic clusterfuck. Well, the hate-filled leftist may respond by calling you a "racists teabagging moron" or something else quite nice. Fine, I am all of those things, the bill still sucks, can we focus on that? And that reminds me, look at WPE's face as Rep. Paul Ryan explains to him that the proposed bill uses every sham CBO gaming technique to hide its awfulness.

What do you think he's thinking here? His thoughts are most likely "I hate this guy, he is my enemy," and not something substantial.

The third technique is to argue against their own prejudices. Again, hate-filled lefties know so much that isn't so. Of course, Bush planned 9-11 to have Halliburton get rich and evil corporations are keeping America from being a good place and the networks are run by corporations and that people who disagree are probably from the south and never read any books and should stop listening to Rush Limbaugh...and so on....

So, your debate isn't a presentation of ideas, it's a talking point from the evil insurance companies. Witness Obama's justification of nationalizing health care, um doctors are performing predatory amputations and tonsillectomies. Right, convincing! Well, only to people who live in that reality, I guess.

Finally, I've realized that any time a liberal recounts anything anyone said, chance are they are lying. Show me the tape! Anne Coulter said "They think all Ann Coulter quotes are one long ticker tape that may be cut up and strung together at random to produce any imaginable point."

Another example that sticks out is the Limbaugh phony soldier controversy. I remember Harry Reid characterize this as "Limbaugh was engaged in one of his typical rants. This one was unremarkable, indistinguishable from his usual drivel, which has been steadily losing listeners for years, [sic] until he crossed that line by calling our men and women in uniform who oppose the war in Iraq, and I quote, "phony soldiers." " Get it? Rush was in a rant where he crossed the line, apparently during that rant calling people in the military who oppose the Iraq war as "phony soldiers." So, obviously, one would think that Rush said something along the lines of, if you don't support the war, and you are in uniform, you aren't a true soldier, and are a seditious tool.

Contrary to this alternate reality, Rush was not in a rant, he was actually listening to a caller, who is in the military complain about people claiming to be combat vets and then using that status to accuse the military of war crimes or to oppose the war. That is, a caller cited the phenomenon of Jesse MacBeth types who, oops, made up a bunch of lies. The exchange went something like this:

RUSH ARCHIVE: It's not possible intellectually to follow these people.

CALLER: No, it's not. And what's really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.

RUSH: The phony soldiers.

CALLER: The phony soldiers. If you talk to any real soldier and they're proud to serve, they want to be over in Iraq, they understand their sacrifice and they're willing to sacrifice for the country.

RUSH: They joined to be in Iraq.

So, two versions of reality. What really happened is that Rush and a caller were discussing, in an aside, the Jesse MacBeth slurs. These liars were phony soldier, that term being a short hand for people who have falsely claimed to be combat vets or combat vets who made up false stories. So, what actually happened and the false reality dreamed up by the hate-filled left. Even worse, many democrat senators then signed a resolution decrying what happened in their minds. Well, in my mind, those who signed that resolution identified themselves as shameless, robotic partisan hacks.

So, anytime a hate filled lefty friend starts a conversation with "Have you heard what so and so said?" I know that I have to be prepared to say, um no, show me the tape. You're repeating a lie.

So, here's to you, hate filled lefties of Eugenics, Oregon, keep the scary hate of Palin at bay. Can we get an ironic, 80's slow clap?
