It's tough to spread the humor around to all sides, when the facts are so one-sided regarding who is ridiculous. But they try.
I find a lot of them spin way blue, just as many pundit radio hosts spin way red. They are targeting a specific and very blue audience. Anyone attempting honest evaluation of the world has to try at least to consider the source. Anyway, as good a warm fuzzy feeling as you get from stuff spun heavily blue, imagine that someone red leaning might respond as you would to pundit radio.
No thank you. No, the situations are not equivalent.
But yes, they are human beings. So, there's the light of truth in them, somewhere. Somewhere, over the rainbow?

They aren't my favorite people either, but they have a perspective that should be understood and is part of the question. Insulting people and lying about those you disagree with without being aware of their positions or reading what they are truly saying is not productive.
But, I didn't really say anything but insults, and so I didn't say anything to rebut; therefore, there's no argument, and therefore, I didn't lie. Magical thinking?
