As seen over and over again in the actual text of DNC speeches and delegates’ comments and Mass MEdia Podpeople “reports” (but I repeat myself *heh*), it’s difficult for people to reject the obvious lies their bigotry embraces and admit the facts staring them in the face demonstrate the wrongness of their positions.
Of course, it’s a problem for anyone–admitting one has been wrong because of bigotry, a fundamental bias against any particular really reality-based truth, and instead an embrace of “reality-based” fantasy–but I suppose it’s just that faux “liberals” are so very blatant about their bigotry, as seen in the brazenly racist motto so openly displayed at the DNC:
S’all right, y’all. You can come on over from the Dark Side. We’ll forgive you.
Another thing that amuses me about faux “liberals'” constant gymnastics in aid of avoiding looking at plain facts squarely is, of course, that “little things like consistency never hamper a bigot’s outrage”* over whatever takes their fancy.
Of course, the amusement’s tempered with a bit of disgust and a wee tad of dismay that such people are apparently more and more dominant in society, but it’s still amusement, and I’ll just have to take mine where I can.
*stolen from a memorable passage from… somewhere (if only it were memorable enough that I could remember where…)
I just don’t get how people refuse to see how truly racist it is to vote *for* someone based on their color.
Yeh, skin color is so much more important than character, eh? I think a Republican by the name of King disagreed with that idea, but I guess that’s passé nowadays. 😉
