Paladin, what grade did you get in Psychobable 101 ?

LOL, actually. Not a bad comeback. Look, I don't pretend to be able to get into Sobran's head...and frankly I'm not sure that's a place I'd want to go anyway. But sometimes even a little pop psychological analysis can be close to the truth, and I offered it only on that level. Clearly the guy is missing a few rivets from his mental skyscraper; it is interesting to speculate on FR how that happened to come about.

I could have offered speculation on the possibility that he is a latent, uh, well, you-know-what who adopts his hatreds as part of his denial, but I decided that the "evidence", i.e., his obsessive championing of the flaming homosexual Oxford as the "real" author of Shakespeare's plays, his frequent invocation of his kids with no mention at all of a wife, etc., but really that's all too thin gruel.
