Liberals and their unfair stereotypes

by Ted on August 4, 2004

“I felt I should do my part to counter the prevailing notion in my neighborhood that Republicans are all obnoxious blowhards.”

Catherine Seipp, Beyond the Valley of the Bush-Bashers, in National Review Online

“I’m glad to be reminded that not everyone on the left is a Stalin apologist.”

Ted: Using the term “article” to describe that… er… thing you linked to… shows that you can be very charitable when you’ve been huffing ether.

Quality is definitely job 1 at NRO. I mean that ironically.

I felt I should do my part to counter the prevailing notion in my neighborhood that Republicans are all obnoxious blowhards.

It is typical of the Stalinoid liberal bias of this blog to omit the many concrete examples she surely must have proffered and instead pick on her own form, which is admittedly pretty much as blowhardian as obnoxisity gets.

Anyone who can get a Russ Meyers reference into the National Review can’t be 100% bad, even if it’s only online, and thus only an attempt to at once appeal to and inflate the number of hip, “South Park” Republicans.

From the article:

“If only all Republicans were like you,” someone told me later.

Oddly enough, I’ve been hoping that all Republicans were ankle-shallow pinheads myself. It’d make beating them sooo much easier.

You can count on Cathy to fill in all the unintentionally comedy you’d otherwise have to rent Jennifer Garner films to experience. Here, Cathy goes out partying accessorized by her college freshman-level conception of political types. At the party, the usual liberal self-criticism occurs (I would’ve rolled my eyes at some of the statements too). Rather than showing any kind of experience with the plain fact that liberals come in all flavors, she experiences it in much the same way a sorority girl experiences a summer in Italy. ‘It’s like they have a different way of doing everything over here!’ screams the postcard.

I’m starting to think that National Review Online has a fantastic sense irony and humor.
