I appreciate TAS printing responses to their articles like that of Mr. Dillman’s who was responding to R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.’s “Woolsey-Eyed Democrats.” In just a few short sentences, Mr. Dillman articulated all the intellectual capital in the possession of these leftist wing nuts.
p>Mr. Dillman, you begin your diatribe with a not-so-subtle accusation that all conservatives stretch the truth, followed quickly by an alliterative claim that the article was “factless fabrication.” I guess space did not allow for any proof of these assertions, but hey, why go to all that trouble. I’m sure we all know it is “common knowledge” that TAS would just censor them! Tossing in the names of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld — now, that was really clever. For the benefit of any lamebrain conservative out there who doesn’t get it — they are the real terrorists. Next, you really get the ball rolling as you execute your coup de grace . You inject profanity into your brilliant commentary to demonstrate your utter loathing of Mr. Tyrrell and his opinions! Oh horrors, can Mr. Tyrrell survive this last great scholarly broadside? And lastly, that slogan “Truth, justice and the American Way” has a familiar ring to it. Hmm… I’ll bet you got it from a 1950s Superman
