pigglet: i admit that i have a healthy contempt for conservative ideology and find its way of deploying under bush to be a kind of fascism-lite. but to impute anything on the order of hatred to me or anyone else is nothing more or less than an act of projection on your part.
the playing field, if you like, is not symetrical--so far as i am concerned, for conservatives not to accept responsibility for the centrality of negative affect to their politics is disengenuous. as is the pretense, particular to the right, that somehow or another these features of their politics are reactions to modes and/or forces that are inflicted upon them from the outside.
but this is a curious place for this kind of discussion, dont you think?
the thread is about the errant satellite feed and its consequences--a moment of self-demolition of the white house's particular brand of consensus-hallucination. dont you find it interesting that there are so many dissociative remarks from conservative folk in this, of all threads?
i find it kind of funny.
at any rate, i have other things to do so will check out with this---i have no problem with having and maintaining an attitude of contempt for conservative politics. but i do not hate anyone. it is not worth the energy to hate people. it is not something i indulge. sorry.
