Psycho-bitch alert! Today's column in the San Francisco Examiner by right-wing apologist Kathleen Antrim spews forth yet another screed against Michael Moore! Damn, hasn't this well run dry yet? Antrim is another cookie-cutter white girl doing the dirty work for the neocons' Old Boys Network. Like Linda Bowels (another wing-nut), Antrim seems to channel the spirit of their bitch-goddess muse Ann Coulter.
Antrim quotes Douglas Urbanski who claims that Moore "hates America, hates capitalism, and hates any normal concept of freedom and democracy", and that he is "running a Jesse Jackson-like shakedown". This simplistic tripe or "us vs. them", that Muslim terrorists hate freedom and that anyone who disagrees with them is a traitor is straight out of the Fox "news" playbook!
Are there ANY conservatives in this country who are capable of a single original thought? ANYONE who does not bow down in obsequious deference to Bush, Jesus and free-market capitalism the way THEY perceive those things, is automatically anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-Christian, anti-family, anti-white, anti-what-ev-er! They even claim Moore is now hated by the left for helping Bush win reelection, much in the manner they also claim San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome helped Bush win by OK-ing gay marriage. C'mon already! Fear, racism, homophobia, neo-colonialism, greed, stupidity, Karl Rove and Diebold are what "won" the head-chimp-in charge his reelection "victory"!
Does anyone else find it disingenuous in the extreme that the neocons are relying more and more on women and non-whites to push their agenda? That the illusion of inclusion is more important than actual inclusion? That the appearance of diversity is being sacrificed on the alter of rigid, ideological conformity? (Or, as Ted Rall put it: "Diversity without Democracy! It's da bomb!")
Somehow, simply by the "virtue" of having hateful, stupid things spewing from the mouths of women, Blacks, Jews, Asians and Latinos lends a veneer of credibility that would otherwise be lacking if it came from the usual cabal of wealthy, Republican white males. And by the constant tearing down of the sanity and credibility of anyone who won't get with the program, they create two bookends that complete the set of "my way or the highway!"
Methinks we "godless liberals" are going to have to start employing one of the right's most sacred tactics: Since they boycott anyone or anything they perceive of as left-of-center, why don't WE boycott any magazine or newspaper who carries mindless right-wing drivel? Yeah, I know that is a very slippery slope, but let's face it: Hurting Republicans in their pocketbooks is pretty much the ONLY way they tend to listen.
