re: #91 Sharmuta
I think this is a conflict of basic visions, of fundamental ideology. Some people think it’s not an issue to align with neo-nazis. Some people think it’s not a problem to promote conspiracy theories.
And then there is the Derangement Syndrome of some- so knee-jerk in their desire to be at odds with Charles that they’ll take the opposite position just to spite him, and all without even considering the ramifications of their contrary position.
It’s quite pathetic, really.
…well maybe, but is this really about Charles? I’d like to think it’s more like people of like minds read his blog and agree with him rather than subscribe to his blog like it’s some ideology in it’s own right, like you see with the Kos.
Normally the comments on here are so far Right I find them pretty alienating, so I find some of these threads to be kinda odd. When I posted a complaint about Alex Jones being used as a source on some Conservative blogs, nobody really replied or expressed similar outrage. I’m a disenfranchised Democrat though, so to me, it just seems like everyone has various people they’re aligned with and trust, and there’s some backbiting going on. The Atlas Shrug situation doesn’t strike me as in the same league as this Beck stuff for example.
