re: #55 Charles Johnson

Rush Limbaugh is also starting to pimp the Ginger Avenger.

Let’s face it, the right wing base in 2014 loves sociopaths like Chuck Johnson. The fact that he’s wrong all the time is a PLUS to them, not a minus, because all they see is that the evil liberals get upset at what he posts, and that’s all they care about. Facts are meaningless and worthless to this crowd — it’s all about keeping the hate and fear alive.

So the only way to deal with people like this creep is to stay on their case and always point out when they lie or distort facts. This reaches the only people it CAN reach, people who still value reason and honesty and integrity.

That’s when they start to do the “If your taking Flak, you must be over the target” and “If he’s so wrong, why can’t they stop talking about him”.

The arrogance, the self-supporting narrative that they create for themselves, the utter lack of compassion for anybody or anything ‘Not-Them’ makes me more and more angry the older I become. I was in college republicans, I drove in a motorcade when Dole came to town. (and learned that Charles Kuralt and my Mom had gone to school together), I used to belong to the NRA. But as I became aware of others, aware that not all shared the advantages I had enjoyed, my views changed.
