| Sullivan: Leaving the Right |
| 2009-12-03 |
| Rest at link if you want to bother reading it. It's an odd formulation in some ways as "the right" is not really a single entity. But in so far as it means the dominant mode of discourse among the institutions and blogs and magazines and newspapers and journals that support the GOP, Charles Johnson is absolutely right in my view to get off that wagon for the reasons has has stated. Read his testament. It is full of emotion, but also of honesty. |

| #12 Sullivan with his capacity for self delusion and self deception will be perfectly at home on the Left. |

| #11 Ironically, this a great time to be part of the Right. Bammo is going to delegitimize the Left for a generation. |

| #10 Sorry Mr. Sullivan, I was at all the meetings of "the right" and never saw you there. Charles Johnson was at a few many years ago, but disappeared after being kidnapped by some Obama cultists. |

| #9 Sullivan was kicked out by the Right a while back - sometime during 2004, IIRC. Wasn't that about the time he started going batshit and whining about Gitmo? It was before he finished writing his disingenuous crap book about how he was the only honest conservative. |

| #8 How odd that absolutely nobody seems upset by these idiots' defections. ;-) |

| #5 CJ is a foaming at the mouth idiot. He proves it every day. |

| #4 Opinion that's 'full of emotion' tends to lack honesty, IMO. |

| #3 I left Sully when he became a one trick pony ranting about GWB & Gay Marriage. I left LGF because the threads were getting way too long and repetitive. When did Chuck flip out? Does he now regret his driving of Rathergate? |

| #2 It's all about the intolerance of intolerance, to put it in Rumsfeldian terms. |

| #1 Toodles to both Sully and Chuckles. I left the former a long time ago and left the latter more recently. The more you look at either of them, the more, um, unbalanced each appears to be. I don't mind ideology but raving looniness (that which they both claim to abhor, and both appear to have in spades) is where I draw the line. |
