I was just trolling on Redstate.com... the stupid, it burns!... anyway, in the midst of a thread on how awful it is that people are demanding the e-mails of White House staffers!, a commenter links back to this blog post, and is immediately called to task for linking to a "hate site."Somebody more verbally agile than I am, please make whatever joke is appropriate here. I can't manage anything better than Fishie Mouth.
I admit I don't "get" the impulse to troll any site, be it Glenn's fine blog or the garbage-spewing Redstate.com. (I see trolling as the online equivalent of vandalism.) But I think the fact that they would label Glenn's as a "hate site" demonstrates that they are the authoritarian double-highs -- dead-enders in the 25% who will support Bush regardless.
They think they are "normal," and thus attribute their own motivations to others. Therefore, anyone who disagrees with them (regardless of the merits of any given argument) must be driven by "hate," just as they are.
