The Daily Show has the tape of Sean Hanity’s early days.
Martin Sheen would like the emoprogs to chill the fuck out.

An I wrong in thinking that while conservatives, even the ones in power, look longingly rightward for inspiration, liberals are the opposite? The ones in power look to the left with disdain. Liberals think that they are far left as anyone should reasonably be, and anyone leftier is a dangerous freak or unrealistic dreamer while conservatives worries that they are not quite as worthy and uncompromisingly hard-line as anyone to their right.
What’s the rightwing equivalent of ’emoprogs?’

@Chyron HR: Are you saying that emoprogs demand we kill legislation that they think is insufficiently progressives but that emocons don’t do the same on their side?
They wanted to kill the _debt ceiling_ for being insufficiently conservative. They wanted to kill the Republican-inspired ACA for being insufficiently conservative. They want to kill the Departments of Education and the Interior and Oops for being insufficiently conservative. They opposed Perry for being insufficiently conservative. They opposed Jean Schmidt for being insufficiently conservative.
I think I’m missing your point.

since this is an open thread, i was looking a vids last nite and came across this, which sort of expresses how i feel about the GOP and the right.

I’m going to add to the Rush Limbaugh pile on (LOL): Washington Post reported yesterday that after losing dozens of ad sponsorships, the Rush Limbaugh show is now picking up a couple… from Ashley Madison (an adultery website) and another site that is geared towards landing Sugar Daddies.

@Guster: conservatives [..] look longingly rightward for inspiration, liberals [..] look to the left with disdain.
I would observe the same phenomenon, but attribute it differently. Liberals tend to play to the pragmatic center, because they perceive that’s how they get public support and win elections. Conservatives tend to play to the rabid, frothing, teapartier extreme right, because they perceive that’s how they get public support and win elections.
Historically, both views have been correct, although there are signs that it might be starting to backfire on the right.
So, the equivalent of emoprogs are actually MODERATE Republicans.
Rome Again
@Soonergrunt:
If Democrats were moral absolutists, that would be an important factor. They aren’t and it isn’t. Democrats don’t go around telling others who should marry whom, how many children to have or not have, when someone can do the horizontal bop or not and with whom.
Funny that you would equate them though.

@tomvox1:
The amazing thing about Palin’s bullshit is that she actually admitted the civil war was at least in part about slavery. I thought that was a big no no for conservatives. States rights only when discussing the civil war.
Slog has a transcript. I’m really surprised Palin hasn’t worked with a public speaking coach though. She’s still as incoherent as hell.

@JPL: Lotsa luck dealing with that! Our neighborhood is overrun with ravenous deer, eating everyone’s gardens, attacking peoples’ pets, spreading Lyme disease (indirectly), causing car accidents and ruining the fragile ecosystem for all the other wildlife by devouring the forest understory. The local government has debated for decades how to remedy this. They tried an ineffectual birth control regimen for the deer and now, years after the community voted to allow the herd to be culled, not a single deer has been dispatched because of the antics and legal hurdles imposed by non-resident vegans. Herons…that’s going to be tough!

JPL, I can’t help with killing herons, but we have a kind of metal heron statue that is supposed to keep them from fishing. As I understand it, herons are territorial and won’t poach in one another’s reserve. We sometimes see them loitering about, but the statue does seem to prevent fish theft.
Well, it prevents fish theft by herons. The greedy mother raccoon who uses our pond as the lab for the Intro to Fishing he teaches her babies every year doesn’t give much of a damn about the statue.
