Gore Vidal, Michael Moore & Noam Chomsky Are NOT The Holy Trinity nor Infallible!!!!
Some of you think that if you post some witty, well-written article by one of these admittedly brilliant writers, and the conservative members of a message board can not adequately respond to it, then article MUST be 100% correct! That is not true, folks!
Look, I could post every persuasive article written by William F. Buckley, Jr., George Will, or Hal Crowther, and there may be some points that some of you could not counter in what I consider to be a "satisfactory" manner.
Satirists and commentators on both sides of the aisle and from all bands of the political spectrum are capable of writing brilliant, poignant articles. All of them use spin in one way or another to deliver what may be the same facts in different ways.
Look, it's great if one of those guys puts your views into print in a slick article that seems untouchable; I'm sure Lemonite feels the same way if Rush Limbaugh posts some thoughtful douche-tasms on EIB.
We won't solve the world's problems in here. Civil debate is great. satire is fun. Commentary makes us think. But posting "the better article" does not "elevate" any of us above the rest of us!
