Swim out past the breakers, watch the world die (part 4, I think)
I've come to the conclusion that most left wing bloggers are just as bad as Limbaugh & Hannity, and most of the left are quite indistinguishable from dittoheads, except for accident of influence. (reason for this line of thought: someone told me a joke Rush Limbaugh made today, and while I wasn't surprised at it being evil, I was genuinely surprised at the content and thought "How stupid; I guess he can't help being a sexist Clinton hating scumbag any more than the Kossacks/Air America crowd."
Probably only because I haven't listened to him even briefly since the 90's, and it was only for a split second, but this is what's terrible -- I actually had a moment where I was *surprised* one of the worst and most hateful Republicans ever, the guy who attacked pre-teen Chelsea Clinton and made fun of a rape victim on the witness stand back when he had a t.v. show, was being as bad as the majority of vocal democrats are being. More from I was surprised he would risk shooting his presumably preferred candidate in the foot w/Clinton bashing than anything else, but still . . . I think that pretty much explains itself. The democrats of today are every bit as vile as the Republicans of the 90's.
At this point, I'm totally ashamed of being human and wish to divorce myself from humanity. Since I can't actually do that, I was going to just quit talking to people outside of home that I didn't actually have to, and that includes blogging. Sasha then informs me tonight that Big Tent Democrat announced he's taking a break from blogging because he can't stand the sexism going on, among other reasons (this is actually from an Obama supporter, mind you, and one who has been for Obama since the season started), and that VastLeft at correntewire is also taking a break, for different reasons.
I hate being a copycat, plus I have trouble keeping my mouth shut, so maybe I'll not take a break. I dunno yet (I will get around to replying to comments already addressed to me at some point, and I might still read/comment elsewhere, even if I quit posting here. Again, I dunno yet). In case this is my last post in a while, I leave you with this:
