Another set of scales falls

When you sicken enough of your own, what do you think you deserve?

[…]I thought the extremely bizarre story, so obvious a blatant lie, that somehow appeared in The Daily Kos, claiming Governor Sarah Palin had somehow faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her wayward teenage daughter would be laughed off and quickly vanish from the Kos pages like the trash it was. It was a joke, A sad, sick joke.
But instead of the aborted fetus it should have been, it was born full grown into the waiting arms of liberal bloggers and journalists, who quickly passed out cigars and congratulated themselves as proud mamas and papas. All this in spite of the fact that absolutely everyone knew the story was an absolute lie.
The only thing we aborted was the truth.

Maybe the divisions between us shouldn’t be labeled “Democrat” and “Republican” or “conservative” and “liberal.” Maybe they should be called what they are: the sort of people who are disgusted by the tactics described above, and the sort of people for whom they are a-okay. Or in other words, “normal people” versus “scum.”

    Love that idea. I am barely “conservative” but this sort of behavior is childish & mean. Maybe that could be our new label – Grownups…as opposed to 7th Graders (who just happen to be some of the meanest humans on the planet).

    I like “normal” for its purpose, but I’ve actually known some scumbags that were relatively decent human beings compared to the rumor-mongering Kostard Obamarrhoids.

    I think “vile, batshit insane turdbrains” improves the focus on the target just a hair.

    Yeah, but I was looking for something short. Lazy me.

    Hey, ease off, man (uh, or “girl” “woman” “babe” whatever). They’re the Reality Based Community, okay?

  5. Annoying Old Guy Says:

    This was precisely the point of the term “Idiotarian”. The promoters of that were trying to draw exactly this distinction.

    Dennis Prager quotes a Jewish writer who survived the Nazi concentration camps “There are two types of people: The Decent and The Indecent”.
