OBAMA FAILS RELIGIOUS TEST: SCHLUSSEL
"Gary Farber at Amygdala calls her a moron and doesn’t ascribe her beliefs to any other conservative."
And to be clear, no, I don't ascribe her beliefs to conservatives in general; that would be false and silly.
I'd say that there's a particular kind of nativism, and of anti-Muslim bigotry, of which a thread can be found in relatively small number of Republican voters, who agree with Schlussel and this sort of kooky bigotry, but I'd also never claim that there aren't nitwit idiot Democrats, either, and most of all, I wouldn't attribute the beliefs of one individual to any other given individual without reason.
Or, put another way, I'd never be so silly as to make a generalization that the "right," in general, believes something so offensive.
But, then, Rick, it's a little difficult to understand your basis for objecting to such a thing, given the fact that you, right here, label me as speaking for "the left" (damn, and I keep missing memos), and claim I support something I never said, and for which there's no evidence whatever that I believe (since I don't), all simply because you view me as one of "the left."
Sheesh. It's helpful if you notice when you're doing the same thing you're accusing others of doing (generalizing and tarring universally, without evidence), let alone that there's no evidence to support your claim (that I called, or regard, Schlussel as anything resembling the “Queen of the Conservative Blogosphere"); in point of fact, I said not a word in that post about conservatives, or Republicans, or anyone but Debbie Schlussel and Ann Coulter.
Do feel free to make a correction.
