re: #57 Killgore Trout

I’ll make an attempt at constructive criticism although it will probably descend into another outrageous outrage.
I think we’re all sympathetic to the view that Obama is not a socialist. However, the use of stats from highly partisan sources (defended in the comments with mere insults) and citing absurd idiots like Andrew Sullivan has weakened your case. You are probably technically correct but the source material and disregard for factual accuracy here in the comments leads to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Not everything a highly partisan think tank or lunatic claims needs to be defended as gospel truth. You probably could have made the same point more convincing by using more accurate and reliable sources.
Abandoning one set of liars and lunatics shouldn’t mandate embracing another set of the same idiots from the other side.

Funny….when you’re in your “look at me, I’m so contrarian” mode, I’ve seen you link to places like the Daily Mail, PJ Media, etc. But here you are, all holier-than-thou, whining about sources.

Shocking \\
