Inside the Mind of the Far Left Fringe

Posted By on July 25, 2011 at 11:19 am

There’s a saying that’s floated around for a few years — I wish I could properly attribute it — that states, roughly, “those on the Right think the Left is wrong, while those on the Left think the Right is evil.”

Nowhere is this more evident than at the online sewer populated by the fringiest of the fringe Left, Democratic Underground, where the borders of sanity are leapt across daily.

These are the people who complain that our first socialist president leans too far to the right.

Compared to the poltroons at DU, the Huffington Post* is a regular collection of rocket scientists.

Even the assemblage of cretins at the Daily Kos** has been heard to advise the DU, “hey, guys, you might want to dial the crazy back just a bit.”

If only.

Nothing I have seen recently has demonstrated sheer hatred — and more than a little bit of projection — more completely than the spittle-flecked screed that landed in my inbox — forwarded by my brother for my amusement — the other day.

This is going to be a long post. I apologize for that, but I think it’s fair to claim that the length of this post is entirely a function of the critical mass of Pure Stupid contained in the quoted post. I also apologize for polluting your vision with material from DU.
