Sunday, March 12, 2006 SkepticalObservor: Just a Thought James Young lays the trap for mindless liberals and wonder of wonders, he manages to snare a few. NOVAScout, Willis, and a series of liberal anonymous commenters fall for the trap (as well as - surprisingly enough - Vincent over at TC). The trap? The obvious hypocrisy of radical liberal attacks on AG McDonnell. James Young asks the hypothetical as to whether or not similar questions posed to Hillary Clinton would be proper. Needless to say, leftist indignation abounded... heh. It was a slow pitch over the plate, and James is no doubt folding his arms and grinning broadly. One notable exception: NOVA Democrat, who demonstrated wisdom beyond years and rejected the entire line of discourse. Good on ya. Your peers could stand following your lead. posted by Shaun Kenney \| 3/12/2006 12:28:00 PM \| 7 comments 7 Comments: At 2:37 PM, Adam Gurri said... Clearly, being crude in order to make a point constitutes a "trap", and anyone who then argues that you've crossed a line isn't disagreeing with you or honestly criticizing you, they've just "fallen into the trap". Please. At 4:44 PM, Shaun Kenney said... That's precisely what happened, yes. If it weren't true, James' critics wouldn't have such a condescending tone... At 8:54 PM, Adam Gurri said... Condescending? I dunno. I see a lot of people who're getting huffy and whatnot, or rolling their eyes... ...but I think talking about a "trap" that has "exposed" people seems much more in a looking-down-your-nose nature. At 9:08 PM, Shaun Kenney said... Suit yourselves. All I can do is point out the problem. shrugs At 12:28 AM, Adam Gurri said... Suit yourselves looks around for the other person Shaun's referring to Maybe I just gained weight? At 9:14 AM, James Young said... Thanks, Shaun. Sometimes, it's like shootin' fish in a barrel. At 5:52 PM, A Voter said... I just liked reading Willis' comments... or rather, I enjoyed the fact that all of his comments were deleted! Post a Comment Home
