POP QUIZ: Who made the following statement?
Edited on Thu Nov-08-07 06:43 PM by WilliamPitt
(see if you can guess correctly and then scroll down for the answer)

"Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful."

3. O'Reilly comes to mind...
I didn't figure he was possessed by the Unabomber.

10. Something written by Coulter would read more like this:

The lefties hate America because they are whiny losers who hate winners. They say we're mean. Oh Boo Hoo! Did they forget their hero Stalin was mean? How convenient! I hate them and you'd better hate them too or I won't be your friend anymore!

8. Good find. I was guessing maybe Ronald Reagan or Anne Coulter.
But you are right, it sounds like almost any RW gasbag.

9. While that did sound remarkably like one of the poisonous diatribes of many of those on the right.
The sentence structure was also too complex. Most right wing musings read like they were authored by a middle-schooler who is trying to get her girlfriends to hate the same classmate she hates. So even though the message was similar, it was also quite different.

And Ted Kaczynski truly was bat-shit crazy. Deadly bat-shit crazy.

As a society, we may be lucky that he was a loner and had no leadership skills. Even though he was a serial murderer, it could have been much worse.
