ALEC protesters show off their education, empathy, and ability to function without keepers.

ALEC, for those wondering, is the American Legislative Exchange Council, which is one of the current hate objects of the Left because… well, because some very smart people told the Activist Left to pick up their signs (which the Activist Left made themselves!) and go over and protest them! And never mind why: only dirty little wreckers in the service of the One Percent argue with their betters. They aren’t dirty little wreckers, are they? No, of course not: the Activist Left are real live activist …Leftists. So there!

Look, if you have a problem with my categorization of these winners, watch this Revealing Politics clip from Wednesday’s anti-ALEC protest in Salt Lake City before you judge me. These people ain’t all that bright.

…Well, they’re not.

#rsrh Hey, just a reminder: Nancy Pelosi lied about waterboarding, and the Left let her.

Hardly a surprise on either score: after all, I’ve been telling people for years that Nancy Pelosi knew all about the waterboarding all along. So did Glenn Reynolds.  So did, in fact, did a lot of other people. So the news (via Mark Thiessen) that a new book is out claiming that then-House Intelligence Ranking Member Nancy Pelosi and then-House Intelligence chair Porter Goss were fully briefed by the CIA on waterboarding as an interrogation technique in 2002 is not a surprise.  If true, it’s very, very damning – the book is claiming that Pelosi declined to protest the waterboarding at all, while raising objections to another procedure (which implies that this old claim that she couldn’t protest is, well, another lie) – but not a surprise.

Interestingly, it may actually be more than a he-said, she-said moment here: Continue reading #rsrh Hey, just a reminder: Nancy Pelosi lied about waterboarding, and the Left let her.

#rsrh I once had Friedersdorf’s Syndrome…

…which is in fine display here*, in a post that sought out to address Charles Blow’s rather puerile race-baiting (using a rebuttal process that was infinitely more thorough than the original race-baiting).  I was planning to explain, quite thoroughly, why it’s a waste of time to convince the Activist Left to be polite to the Right; but fortunately, a commenter of his did it for me.

Those people were not “minstrels” they were uncle Toms. The tea-b[*]ggers are just a sad group of old, white, rich, malcontent republicans who hate blacks, hispanics, asians, the middle class and the poor and hate the fact that we have a black president. When they howl “TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!” they mean to take it back from the minorities. Luckily the middle class and the poor far outnumber the tea-b[*]ggers so they will have little effect in November.

Conor, Conor, Conor. The Activist Left hates us. They will continue to hate us until we break and lick their boots.  It’s their freaking victory condition. We’re in a war to the knife, made all the more psychologically vicious because there’s no physical violence involved.

Accept that.
