The Clueless Reactionary Left

An amusing phenomenon I’ve been noticing when I check out our Recent Referrers page: a lot of links coming in from left-of-center blogs, to the transcript and audio of Congressman Maurice Hinchey’s Karl Rove conspiracy delusion.
The amusing part is that when I go and read what they have to say, they all approve of Hinchey. They agree with his statement that it’s “important” to make wild, illogical accusations without any facts to back them up.
They think he’s crazy brave.
They’re half right.
The cognitive dissonance is so severe on that side of the aisle, in fact, that some of the newer or more obscure ones actually quote my remarks about Hinchey without even noticing that I was … uh … less than flattering. I believe I used the words, “barking moonbat conspiracy rant.” Could be too many syllables in there for them to realize it isn’t a compliment.
Or maybe they’re too new to know that I’m Eva Braun in disguise.
