Right-wingers can assail Colbert without watching or showing

[Hardrada]

his wonderful performance at the press club dinner. Remember how they dissed Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9-11 without ever watching it or showing the smallest snippet. Of course, it is exactly this No-Facts mentality that SC was skewering so well!

1. That's why it will be difficult for them to counter

Because Colbert was saying what they should agree with-and you can ask them why they don't with a straight face.

2. You're right. That's how they operate. Years ago now, but the same

thing happened in the town I was living in regarding the film version of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. The local nutcases of course had not seen the film, but their ministers insisted that it represented a menace to the moral well-being of the community, so they were all Koolaided into vans to demonstrate outside the theater about the evils of the film.

Lockstep Koolaid drones.

3. Ask them to point out which quote they disagee with

The "reality-based" quote? The "truth down in the gut" quote? The "steady belief" quote?

Kind of hard to dispute those. They're on the record.

4. But they can't quote from it

since they'll never see it. If you say he says those things they'll say that he was right to say them and then look smug.

5. They have to wait for Rush and O'Lielly to package it for them.

6. *sigh* Yes , I see your point

It used to mean something having actually seen an event, then commenting on it.

No more, I guess.

Any opposition to Bunnypants is immediately considered slander and dismissed without introspection.
