At best, I'd have to say they were about conservative identity politics to the bitter end, where ultimately, the only truth was that which served their version of conservatism, the only good people to them were people who served that cause, and that any demonstrable fact or contervailing opinion that undermined their version of conservatism was to be destroyed. Also, sometimes they failed to recall their own words, even the really gutless intellectually devoid lying ones, in order to support one of their very own.
I find that I have a real intolerance for one thing--intolerance. If people of color, people of differing religious viewpoints (like Islam in the US--or like atheism, nearly everywhere) LGBT*QA people, etc. are maligned, I feel like I need to go stand with them. When I see people like Limbaugh and Coulter go wrap themselves up in Hermain Cain as a matter of race, I see red. Where are they for any other person of color? And where do Mr. Feminazi and Ms. Phyllis Schlafly Jr. stand regarding the rights of women to not be seen as sexual objects in the workplace? Are they saying it's okay if it were Bill Clinton and Paula Jones? (If it were. Not that I say it were...but hypothetically?)
I'm sorry, Rush, Ann....but we know you. And really. Stop reminding us of what we already know.
