Liberals Behaving Badly

I love it when liberals batter each other, and there's been a lot of that lately. In fact, we just had some good ones.

● Ellen Pompeo, a leftist actress who attacked her own show "Grey's Anatomy" for not having enough minorities on staff, just got shouted down for racism. Ha ha! The irony is rich with this one. See, she was watching the Democratic debate and she didn't like that Kamala Harris was only attacking Biden because she feared that Harris was ignoring the other threats to her. So here's what she said: "She’s overconfident and believes [Biden] is her only competition." Tsk tsk. Such racism!

What racism you ask? Well, according to the internet storm that followed, it is racist to call a black woman "overconfident" because, well, that's racist. Indeed, here's one of the many representative comments slapping her down: “Black women are allowed only a certain amount of confidence. Must always yield something to whatever white man is around.”

As you can see, this is utter nonsense -- as well as being painfully written cynicism. Indeed, there is no reasonable way to read what Pompeo said as racist, and the twisted logic used to get there knowingly misconstrues what she said. What happened here is wishful victimology. These idiots saw the word "overconfident," recognized it as a criticism, realized a criticism had been lobbied at a black woman, got all hot and bothered over a victim fantasy, and screamed racism. It's ridiculously stupid. What makes this so ironically delicious is that their target is someone I guarantee you never thought she would find her back against the wall. She called out her own program for not hiring enough of them!, for Pete's sake! She's pure! She's not a racist like all those other people she criticized! How can anyone think she was being racist? Well, dumbass, because that's the world your kind has cultivated. When the left goes full intolerant, they often burn their own at the stake first, and you've been whipping them into a frenzy of intolerance. Burned by your own mob! Delicious.

And there's more...

● Noted progressive-liberal and Pluto-hater Neil deGrasse Tyson made the mistake of trying to interject some logic into the left's anti-gun tantrum after the shootings this weekend. He point out, quite correctly, that "across any 48 hours, we also lose 300 people to the flu." This is a problem-solver's thought as it attempts to frame a problem and downplay the hysteria surrounding it so a solution can be reached. The fool. The collective did not approve. Showing their shoot-the-messenger ways, scores of leftists screamed at this man on Twitter. Noted scientists and logicians rock band Smashmouth eruditely pointed out: "FUCK OFF!!!! There's your data!!!!" So very helpful.

Two things make me laugh about this. First, that Tyson thought he would be immune from hate even when going against the collective in mob mode. Heck, he's a leftist. He's even black! How can anyone on the left say such things to him?!! Clearly, he does not understand the hate-filled group-think practiced by his colleagues even against fellow leftists.

Secondly, the left loves to claim that the right hates science and they are the party of science, yet they scream down and threaten away any data that doesn't fit their narrative... just as they oppose science that is used for weapons or business, they treat unproven and discredited environmental theories as religious dogma, they treat science/research/studies/results that might lead to data they consider "racist" or "sexist" or anti-whatever-they-support to be taboo, if not criminal, and they ban any bit of science that might offend the wrong people. Not to mention, their mob mentality focuses hate on any solution or proposed solution other than the one they seek. Watch your back Neil, the death threats are next. Oh, and avoid overconfidence, Neil. Ask Ellen about that.

● The sitcom Friends which supported a pro-gay agenda in the 1990's is now being accused of being anti-gay because it used suggestions that one character was less than masculine as a source of humor. All humor will eventually find someone who wants to be offended... only the left gives them the power to push their offendedness on the rest of society.

● According to liberal NYT columnist Maureen Dowd, she and Nancy Pelosi have been smeared as "elites" by the left because during her late July interview she mentioned eating chocolates, wearing high heels, and having a book party for an author friend. Said Dowd, "If the Democratic Party is going to be against chocolate, high heels, parties and fun, you’ve lost me. And I’ve got some bad news for you about 2020." That sounds silly, but it's not. What this speaks to is the vast number of leftists who now turn their pet peeves into political attacks (particularly the body positive whiners and the anti-shamer shamers who attack people for things like not being dour enough, having money, dressing better than their lazy asses want to dress, being too successful, lacking self-doubt, and suggesting that others can succeed -- I'm not kidding, I'll write something about how telling people to fight cancer is hateful later this week). These people are the same as the race-screamers and the harassmentists... they want to remake the world in their miserable image and they see the internet thought police as the means to do that.

● Finally, we have the debate and its aftermath. Oh my. First, they attack Obama's record to smear Biden. Indeed, they hit Obama with many of the things I pointed out throughout his administration about Obama not being a good liberal: deportations, sending young black men to prison for "crimes", supporting big business, Obamacare being a sop to big insurance, etc. This brought out the Obama people to fight back. Then they smeared Biden as a segregationist and public service profiteer: "Biden's family fortunes mirrored the course of his career." Yeah, that's called "graft." They smeared Harris as a racist monster for all the young black criminals she put in jail as a prosecutor. And they smeared Buttguy for allowing racist, killer cops in his police department.

Good times! Did I miss anything?
