I like the fact that his name is "Jason COMMA Richards". Apparently he's hoarding so much punctuation for the coming Obamaclypse he can just afford to drop some in the middle of his name.

"I went to USC intending to simply let as many people as possible know that the award for “journalism excellence” they were giving Katie Couric for her Sarah Palin interview was a complete farce. To prove my point, I wanted to give away copies of my film “Media Malpractice,” which has my own Sarah Palin interview as a special feature."

So you were there to protest, not report. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just want to be clear.

How many Che t-shirts can we put you down for, John?

"Your real point is not that Palin is a less than ideal guardian of family values, constitutional originalism or free markets or economic freedom in general."

To your points:

1. She is not an ideal guardian.
2. I believe she is a very strong adherent to Constitutional originalism - I believe it's a living document (as do apparently Glenn Beck and Clarence Thomas with their believe in a Bill of Responsibilities).
3. I believe that she does support the free market system.
4. This means nothing - economic freedom is a buzzword like "intelligent design". It's a wedge. There are outrageously wealthy people in China, Europe, and Africa - none of these places would fit the definition of aving "economic freedom", I imagine.

"As are all progressives ..."

Hey, way to generalize.

Forgive me naivete, but no, I didn't think you were - Americans can debate without descending into a neo-Gettysburg.

No, I'm very curious about understanding why I'm the enemy - why a political difference makes me no better than a facist. I made a joking reference to a failed presidential candidate - you swung it around an enemy of this country, indeed, an enemy of humanity- and I am genuinely fascinated by that.

An acocuntable father marries the woman and acknowledges her publicly as a human being - he doesn't schutp her, get her pregnant, and then pay hush money to keep it quiet because it'll harm his political career.

He doesn't make scummy jokes about "having deep roots in the black community".

"Accountable father..." - that's the first truly offensive thing I've read here at Big Hollywood. Bravo.

"You are the one equating constitutional originalism, family values and economic freedom with racism."

I am? Where? Pointing out the historical fact that Strom Thurmond was an evil scum***k and joined up with the conservative movement does not tar the entire conservative movement - it just establishes where people like Thurmond found a home. But you want it both ways - the Democratic party pre-Truman was a home for racists like Thurmond, but the Republican Party post-Truman was not at all a home for racists like Thurmond. One can except the GOP is both the Party of Lincoln and the Party of Thurmond, but one has to choose between which person is lionized.

"Still pining for Mussolini?"

No, actually. The facist movement is 180 from the modern progressive movement. But then again, I don't stare at the TV, wide-eyed and sweating waiting for the next Howard Beale-ism from Glenn Beck, so maybe I'm not getting the full story.

"Joe Sixpacks and Hockey Moms are the mainstream."

You missed my point. Do you people on the right like being pigeonholed as nothing more than a demographic being to be patronized?

"Unlike the average liberal, I don´t despise them..."

See, this is where it gets fun. Obama won a majority of the vote - my guess your world view of this large block of American society boils down to the 1. sinister mustache-twirling liberals and 2. the deluded sheeple, whereas you (and everyone who didn't vote for Obama or voted for McCain) are this uncorruptible mass of Galtian individuals ready to man the barricades and save everyone from themselves.

No, in fact I haven't even seen it (although many mistake it for that).

"You sir, are worse than Hitler."

Yeah, that was funny when Patty and Selma's supervisor said it to Homer.
