Mate, reading that stuff will rot your brain. You've done well to survive the encounter and then reply like this.
Lies or stupidity? Both, in my book. You've pointed out the lies. The stupidity reveals itself in the fact the authors of this crap expect their ranting to have some impact on something, anything.

Thanks, Damian,
Maybe I should take a leaf out of Ant's book, and wean myself off these blogging equivalents to a train wreck.

So you're thinking of hitching a ride on the wagon, THR?
It's not so bad. And I'm finding that music is helping to ease the discomfort of withdrawal.

At the Minneapolis Public Library, the script at your blog, caused your blog to close. It works with my home browser.
In the US the threat to Academic freedom is Zionist groups. In Minneapolis Desmond Tutu was uninvited, for the supposed hurtful statements made against Jews. The source they talk about, shows nothing anti-Semitic.

Ant - brilliant!
RE - after initially flirting with some zany Soviet type scripts, I settled on basic ones that should be readable on all computers.
I think once again this might be my old nemesis, the Minneapolis Public Library, trying to silence me.

Great article, mate.
The emotive defensiveness and sloganeering of the rightards is a clear indication of intellectual barrenness.
Reminds me of one of my fav quotes, by John Stuart Mill:
"Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives."
Perhaps special centres for advanced (sic) education should be set up to cater to their particular needs 
Cheers

"Reminds me of one of my fav quotes, by John Stuart Mill:
"Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives." "
You're misunderstanding labels now, but you're getting somewhere.
Mill is one of the fathers of 'Classical Liberalism', which is the basis of modern conservatism. Conservatives in his time were a whole different animal.
"Mill's On Liberty is one of the founding texts of classical liberalism and one of the most important treatises ever written on the concept of liberty. The book explores the nature and limits of the power that can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual. One argument that Mill develops further than any previous philosopher is the harm principle. The harm principle holds that each individual has the right to act as he wants, so long as these actions do not harm others. If the action is self-regarding, that is, if it only directly affects the person undertaking the action, then society has no right to intervene, even if it feels the actor is harming himself. Mill excuses those who are "incapable of self-government" from this principle, such as young children or those living in "backward states of society". It is important to emphasize that Mill did not consider giving offense to constitute "harm"; an action could not be restricted because it violated the conventions or morals of a given society."

Great - right wing 'poetry'.
Whilst some current-day rightists consider themselves the heirs of liberalism, others do not. The following post examined rightists was explicitly denounced Mill:

In any case, the present post was an attempt to debunk some very obvious falsehoods peddled by far-right, conspiracy-minded fools. I'm not so sure that they would consider themselves 'liberals' in any sense, even a Mill-esque one.

And not all the descendants of Mill are conservatives, even if shunned by their modern classical liberal (isn't that oxymoronic?) cousins.

I'd have thought somebody like Robert Manne or David Marr would better fit the 'classic liberal' tag than the Coulter/Limbaugh-loving types who so frequently invoke it, but hey, call me a commie.

I once made the mistake of trying to debate with one of these bigots, who thought Marxism was a New Labour/Jewish/EU politically correct conspiracy. You just can't reason with them. It's like trying to argue with conspiracy theorists. They do not abide by the rules of evidence: if you offer a scientific cast iron proof refuting their views, they dismiss it as Marxist propaganda. Laughable really.

Hitler was a Socialist at heart. The Nazis controlled the economy and told the companies what to produce, they just didn't sieze them. Hitler was NOT ALL Right-Wing'. Where are the world's greatest dangers today? They come from the Left!
Thanks for stopping by THR!
Btw, I only first heard of Jonah Goldberg a couple of months ago. So mimicking? No. But he has inspired me. He makes a lot of sense in his extremely well researched NY Slimes Bestseller
'Liberal Fascism".

I know the truth hurts THR, but seeing the truth will help heal your seething anger. Please don't stop seeking the truth. Oh, and thank you for inspiring the following.

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
believe Leftie partisans
angry ranting moonbats
cheering losing Marxism

Repeating a lie over and over again won't make it turn into a truth, any more than encasing it in half-arsed poesy.
