Leftists Continue To Elevate The Debate (updated)

It is getting harder and harder to hold our own against the leftists in the great debate. Seriously, their arguments are just getting so...enlightened. For instance, Michelle Malkin has finally been put in her place.

Michelle Malkin is a c**t.

hostile is right. she's a c**t. Coulter is neither c**t nor whore. she's a man. Maggie "Pay for Play" Gallagher is the whore.

This is a blog hosted by Washington Monthly, a respected liberal publication. The author of the article that encourages this glimpse into how leftists really think, Kevin Drum, notes in his piece that pundits like Malkin, Hewitt, and Powerline should just STFU (shut the f**k up).

Comments like Hostile's and Sean's can be deleted by a blog administrator at almost any hosting service. Are we to believe that the Washington Monthly is incapable? No, they were left there, on purpose I presume, because it is what passes for political speech from the left these days.

Now for the scariest thought of all. Before the many recent examples of how the infantile left acts when it doesn't get it's way; killing cops, crying rape, throwing food, using vile language, etc.., they were actually considered a viable alternative to the GOP in the 2004 election, represented by John Kerry.

That's right folks, John Kerry and the Democratic Party were their heroes. What does that say about the party and what it represents?

Perhaps they can reach their base better in 2008 if they exchange debate, which was an empty effort anyway, for something more likely to capture the party faithful's attention, like government subsidized diaper changes or promises of cookies before dinner. That'll get 'em excited.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, a 13-year-old girl in New York is being treated like a criminal by her school district for wearing a red, white, and blue "pro-troops" necklace. Perhaps she would be treated fairly if she were to wear something more appropriate, like a "gay pride" necklace or a Che Geuvera t-shirt.

Just another case of a right-wing "runt?"

UPDATE: Here's an excellent explanation of the lofty debate tactics used by the left, from FrontPage's Jamie Glazov.

Part of the explanation for this failure to express disagreement in the form of an intellectual argument, we suspect, has to do with the left’s undisputed domination over the institutions of the higher culture – the universities, the large metropolitan press, and the TV networks. This dominance has caused it to inhabit a cultural echo chamber where the only interlocutor it really has to speak to (and answer to) is itself. Consequently, it has grown intellectually lazy and reaches for the most convenient epithet before it ever thinks about an argument. It has substituted emotional reflexes for ideas for so long that it has become a kind of latter day version of the conservatism that Lionel Trilling described as a “mental irritability” rather than an intellectual reference.
