You haven't yet called me a moron (don't think so, anyway). I think "I think you might be a man" was supposed to be mean or witty, and not refer to enhanced intellectual abilities, especiallt as some might take that implication to be sexist. In my experience, hardcore Republicans are impossible to talk to generally, male or female, but I'm just a moron or maybe an Anonymous Idiot, if we're talking about the other guy who's posts you love so much. If that guy is a guy.<br /><br />The conservative presence here sorta feels like negative campaigning - doesn't win many votes for the the candidate, but does discourage turnout.

If you're concerned about not being the anon in question, my advice would be to get a handle. <br /><br />Chippy would be an apt one for you.<br /><br />To illustrate a certain lack of insight inherent in your implication about the relativity of my enthusiasm, I'm not here denouncing the blog owner from either a left or right perspective. <br /><br />I don't find his opinions infuriating when he bemoans the fact that the media is too "invested" in Wall Street, and too dedicated to the lowest common denominator/narrative to take on Romney's tenure at Bain ( such a rightward attack, ...right?), and I don't find them infuriating when the conservative media services as his default symbol for all that is corrupt, dumb, and tribal in our times, and therefore worthy of him sounding an alarm when he sees them being imitated by liberals. <br /><br />I don't launch into screeds about how some compromises of smaller truths are necessary in order to reveal bigger truths of little interest to a largely liberal media. I offer up no agenda other than an agreement that I find our political discourse (pushed by both sides of the media) more and more appalling.<br /><br />I have given no indication of a partisan enthusiasm one way or another, and simply being a conservative or simply concurring with my host, is not automatically <br />indicative of that. <br /><br /> You assume my interest in him is just as partisan as your disapproval. You make abundantly clear the partisan nature of that disapproval, but about me you have nothing but assumptions.
