1. The amount of projection on the left is beginning to make me physically ill.
...Insert leftist here:
"Stop projecting, you fascist!"
2. For some reason, I keep thinking about a fictional conversation with a neolib. I don't know where it came from, but maybe it would make a good political cartoon or something:
CD: You know, for people who claim to be tolerant and open-minded, you ultra-leftists sure have trouble with opinions that are different from your own.
NEOLIB: That's a neocon lie. We're more tolerant than all you born-again bigots down in Jesusland.
CD: Uh, I'm from Pennsylvania, so I don't think that-
NEOLIB: Shut up, rightard! Anyway, as I was saying, we're a lot more tolerant than you homophobic Jesus freaks. For example, I think Bush is Satan, but my best friend thinks Bush is Hitler. If I was as intolerant as you say I am, would he still be my best friend? I don't think so. Racist.
CD: When did I say anything that would make me a racist?
NEOLIB: You voted for Chimpya. That's all I need to know.
...Stream of consciousness writing can be dangerous. Anyway, this has been "random political thoughts." Thank you.

Come to think of it, maybe they weren't protesters. Maybe spammers are trying to reach out to those without technological awareness.
Sometimes, it's better not to ask.
Were they trying to say "electile dysfunction" or something similarly stupid?
Posted by: CD at November 28, 2004 09:25 PMHm... I hadn't thought about that. The signs clearly had an "r" and not an "l"... That probably is what they were going for though.
