They become instantly enraged over things they haven't the foggiest notion of how to explain, let alone justify.
That's an excellent observation, and one that most of us here have made in recent years.
A good example of this is an email exchange that I had last week with my brother. I had sent him some editorial cartoons which all featured his Dear Leader. Given that a picture can often capture the total essence of an argument, I figured his awareness would be somewhat raised about what the country's current attitudes toward Obama are.
He replied with some surly and incoherent statement, ending in the word "racist!"
In response to that outburst, I sent him the latest Presidential Approval polling data from Rassmussen and others. I even included the charts, with links back to the sites.
His response to that?
"Bye."
Now, this is a very intelligent man. One of his signature traits has always been the ability to win arguments. Used to drive me nuts when we were kids. But today, he quickly abandons his usual logic-driven formula when arguing politics, and resorts to a typical moonbat melt-down.
That indicates to me that he has no real argument, and is erupting in anger precisely because I've caught him without one.
I think this is the basis of this behavior among all liberals and leftist radicals. They know in their hearts that they don't speak the truth, so they must use dramatics and anger to force their viewpoint on others.
A person who speaks the truth doesn't need to overwhelm others with it, or scream it in others' faces. No - the truth is spoken frankly and matter-of-factly, without dramatics or out-of-control emotions.
Conversely, I believe that the anger we see coming from our side is a righteous indignation, borne of honest grievances with the destruction of our liberties and way of life.
Windflier, you’re right on the money here, in so many ways.
I’m sure you and everyone else have noticed that when a member of the radical left, whatever ethnicity, calls a talk show or is a guest on a political show (TV or radio), once they start talking, they never stop. Not even to take a breath, much less allow the other person to response.
I think it’s more than rudeness, arrogance or egotism. I think it’s a coordinated technique to drown out the opposition. Fortunately, the producers have the Mute button at the ready, and the better ones use it when they really start to overrun the other speaker.
What do you think?
