This blog post by Michelle Malkin reports on some of the latest in angry whining from the left. In this instance our favorite alternative ingenue, the perpetually aggrieved Janeane Garofalo, appeared on MSNBC to spout her frustration on failing to attract the assistance of therapists who could help her. In this interview we get to see more of the kind of moonbat conspiracy theorizing that has brought her show and AirMoonbat the stellar ratings that have pushed them to the number 23 station in liberal New York. (Enthusiastic financial assistance from widows and orphans of The Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club notwithstanding.)
Of course it should be clear from reading the transcript, provided by Newsbusters, that Janeane is far from being a serious thinker. Like so many on the left, she provides a wealth of angry emotion and bumper-sticker slogans, but is unable to offer any kind of factual arguments. She opines that Bob Novak and Ann Coulter are "unpleasant" but offers no specifics about what that might entail. Terms like "partisan right-wing hack" and "dark forces" are thrown out as if they were self-evident with no need of further explanation. And weirdly she claims that Republicans and conservatives are neither Republicans or conservative. Is an A a non-A in Janeane's universe? Does the law of non-contraction fail to apply in leftyland? It would seem so. And Olberman as host fails to ask for any expansion on these bizarre claims. If Republicans and conservatives are neither Republican or conservative, then what are they? What does Garofalo mean when she uses these terms? No answer is given. We are expected to simply accept them at face value without further analysis.
Ultimately we are left to conclude that when an Angry Leftists complains about conservatives being "unpleasant" that what the left really objects to is having to offer any kind of intellectual debate on the substance of an issue. For instance, the entire question of Bob Novak's involvement in the Plame affair has been entirely undercut by the admission of Bob Woodward that he had the same information about her months before it was published in the Chicago Sun-Times, and thus it logically follows that Karl Rove could not have been the source of the leak as leftists have been claiming. But none of this was mentioned in the interview because as we all can recognize, facts, logic and evidence have no effect on the Angry Left any longer. Their shields are up and nothing which contradicts the evil rightwing conspiracy viewpoint is allowed to get through.
And as for Janeane's claim that conservatives have an anger management problems, check out Michelle Malkin's response in her column over at Jewish World Review. And while you're at it, you might also want to check out Brian Maloney's post on the subject as well.
