Steyn's a moron and a retrograde ass, but he's not dumb. Look at all the attention he's getting. Each eyeball attracted by the hullabaloo is an eyeball that reads the basis for his polemics, usually in the same tribune, at the same time. Live and learn fellow lefties.
And incidentally, multiculturalism isn't by definition a progressive value: plenty of us on the left think it is a big mistake. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
Not sure where you get them. Fertile imagination, I guess. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
Our problem is we require ourselves to be fair, reasonable and hew to what we think of as "the truth" (tm)
Of course, many here believe that there is some truth (tm) and that others truths (not yet accorded a tm) are not quite as credible. thus are some sources automatically granted credibility, while others are seen as "hacks" or "liars".
I'm seeing a lot of that. Idees recues in action, challenges to them increasingly one-sided. Not just for the right, I see.
Just like you putting those words in my mouth and putting your intent in my motivations. Far, far off the mark. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
Maybe if we on the left had a few provocative polemicists like Steyn writing for our side, we'd start making some progress in the battle for ideas. Our problem is we require ourselves to be fair, reasonable and hew to what we think of as "the truth" (tm)
There's a good Irishman going today too, name Alexander Cockburn. Don't agree with him all the time but appreciate what he does, unlike many of the so-called reasonable left.
But alas, the "reasonable left" doesn't do polemics... Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant

Obama is doing that, Edwards did that to a lesser extent. I don't think the idea is to lie or cheat so much as to be populist. keep to the Fen Causeway
