"totaltotal ... er ..... totallytallish .... uh .... tototototoot ....."

[Stinky The Clown]

Four times now I've heard a RWer mangle the word 'totalitarian'. The last was Dan Bartlett on Hairballz.

Might this be evidence of a risky shark jump, even now being acknowleged to have failed.

The 'Islamofacist' crap was bad enough. Now they're describing us as akin to 'Nazi sympathizers".

The word 'Nazi' - no matter who uses it - is often a losing tactic, not for its fact so much as for the emotional evocation engendered in the word, no matter the context.

But back to the stuttering on that one word. It isn't all that hard a word to say. But it may well be an involuntary reaction by those who *know* they're guilty of having it as their goal.

Totalitarian.

Indeed.

1. Um, their use of these words is almost comical.

Who has the power? How on earth can the opposition to these lunatics, who by all intents and purposes have absolute power, be akin to "Nazi sympathizers"? Who on earth are the totalitarians if not them? Trying to follow their logic makes me dizzy.
:crazy:

3. Yeah, they heard us using it.

Never dun used it before, decided to use it for themselfs. Got to werk on the pronunceeation, tho.
