This is the same thing as these people who mindlessly refer to 'Faux' News. It has no basis in fact, just emotion. In my opinion, the Good Pastor will never accept anything that comes from Fox News because he buys into the idea that anything they report that conflicts with his group's narrative is a bunch of lies. Rush Limbaugh (here's one for you SSS) calls them Low Information Voters. But then again, anything he says, no matter how much the facts support him, is irrelevant for the same reason.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I do experience the real world, just not the version that you get filtered through the likes of Hannity and Fox News.

You forgot Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. I listen to all of them all at once to save time so I can go out to shoot my semi automatic AR 47's in the air because I wannabee like John Wayne because Jesus told me to be like him. Once I'm done with that, I go to Wal Mart so I can practice oppressing various minorities and wage a war on women, cause there's lots of em there. Then maybe I'll buy some stuff, but only if it's made by Koch Industries. I stop for lunch at Chick-Fil-A and make fun of gay people. Three nights a week, I go to the combined Tea Party/KKK meeting sponsored by the local police and the local Republican party. There we are all injected with liquified solution of Fox News and try not to overdose, given our instructions for the next day and released. On weekends, I try and shoot as many various animals as I can.

That's me in your 'real' world.

Now that is hilarious.

Speaking of mindless.

Please explain the rationale of your thought here.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.
~~ Thomas Jefferson

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

The comments are more of the outrage I would expect to see from people who identify as right of center, rather than the political left. That they didn't understand that this quote comes from economist Friedrich Hayek, rather than the pictured Salma Hayek, contributes to the hilarity. That's all.
