]]> Comment on Glenn Beck Is Crazy As Cat Shit, See You In Hell by Adam Baum http://www.sighedeffects.com/main-category/2011/glenn-beck-is-crazy-as-cat-shit-see-you-in-hell/comment-page-1/#comment-10298 Adam Baum Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:31:15 +0000 http://www.sighedeffects.com/?p=1013#comment-10298 "Even a broken clock is right twice a day." Beck's statement about Gingrich was really quite apt. The sad thing is that Beck made the same point that many of his critics have made over the past few years - President Obama is about as "Far Left" as Richard Nixon, so why so much outrage over his policies? When looking at the level of contention towards Barack Obama, race seems to be a clear indicator. Beck actually had a pretty clear point: Gingrich is an establishment Republican that has repeatedly gone against many of the same things the Tea Party claims to stand for... so, why such support for Gingrich suddenly? (And since December 2011, Gingrich has seemingly taking off his gloves to show how much he is willing to pander to racist ideology to improve his poll numbers.) Libertarians and Liberals are highly similar. Being farther Left than a Liberal, this is quite clear to me. The reality is that American Conservatives, Liberals and Libertarians are all quite similar. "The devil is in the details." Because of this similarity, much of the contention between the different ideologies does appear to be hyperbole. <blockquote> The Adam Baum’s main critique about the tea party and race is that the tea partiers are racists. Glenn Beck and the Adam Baum are of the same mind on this matter. But the Adam Baum has declared Glenn Beck is a racist for his views regarding the tea party and race. Ipso Facto the Adam Baum must find himself to be a racist as well.</blockquote> This has to be one of the most juvenile rhetorical arguments I have seen in a long time. This is really proof that the fascist fringe of the Right really deploy rhetorical nonsense and have little material to support their über-nationalistic and racist claims. Quite similarly: God is Love. Love is Blind. Stevie Wonder is Blind. Therefore, we must conclude that Stevie Wonder is God. “Even a broken clock is right twice a day.”

One cannot talk about "ignorance of science" and then continue to twist and selectively apply scientific progress for a political agenda. The differences are phenotypes. What it really comes to is understanding of standard deviations and degrees. Is there a physical difference between a Welsh Corgi and a Border Collie? Of course. Are these recognisable differences? Of course. Are they all dogs and share the same basic physiology? Of course. Forensic anthropologists can not only tell the difference in "race" based on the deviations discussed, but also subdivisions within. Not all "Whites" are Anglo (today) and not all Africans are West Africans from Sierra Leone. Science is not about "Left" and "Right" - it is about the scientific method and verifiable hypothesis. I consider that most scientists would tend to favour the American Left, as the American Conservative tends to cling to logically irrational arguments and ignore contradictory logic. Like using information to support social classification of race from Anthropologists and Geneticists that have repeatedly and expressly stated, with scientifically logical explanations, that thereis no scientific basis for the social classification of "race." Similarly, claiming Wikipedia is "the fount of Liberalism" is very telling. Wikipedia is an open source of information, allowing any and everyone to contribute. Things may be edited or removed with supporting evidence. This does run counter to the fascist tendencies of the American Conservative, that seems to believe any contradictory information is blasphemy, regardless of merit. They wish to silence anything that runs counter to their ethnocentric exceptionalism and imperial hegemony. Rational debate and discussion with evidence does not seem to be a strong suit of the Reactionary Right - it's much easier to call names and resort to rhetorical bullying. Which side is the more "civilised"? Also, one of us is a Jew. It's not me. (Feel free to keep up the name calling, though, it is quite fitting.) Happy Hannukah.
