This was posted by a reader to my Sunday syndicated piece that came out this morning... If you haven't read it yet feel free. It seems to have raised the ire of a LOT of ammoral lefties that stalk TownHall as a way of self-motivation. I figured they would blow gaskets at the assumptions I argued for, but even before noon - its much hotter and heavier than I would have predicted.
Anyway... one of the posters sympathetic to me outlined how most lefties read columns like mine:
1. Scan article (disconnect common sense)
2. Get a feeling (disconnect reason)
3. Recall PC approved talking points on subject. (disconnect independent thought)
4. Cite material that seems relevant, but serves to divert from the subject. (disconnect debate)
5. Spew (disconnect reality)
I think Mr. McCullough cleverly anticipated what the responses to his article would look like.
Now if they can get that worked up over 923 words, what will they do when they encounter this?
