Leftists are angry and scared by facts? Compared to those on the right (who else would you be comparing them to)? I don’t want to start a slap fight, and I usually respect what you’re saying, Alan, but please tell me you’re kidding. Listen to those on the right and you hear constant, visceral anger. Both extremes have trouble with facts (although I’d give the right the edge for being afraid of facts). But when it comes to anger, the right wins by an enormous margin.[/quote]
Zk: Would you indulge me on something? I’ve taken the liberty of attaching Bob Cesca’s Huffingtonpost article on why the Obama Administration needs to abandon its nuke energy policy. Bob is the host of “The Bob and Elvis Show” and thus in an excellent position to comment intelligently on nuke power. I ask that you read this article, which contains specious “facts”, personal anecdotes, along with using an episode of “The West Wing” (WTF?) to support his argument, and tell me that its a good example of what passes for worthwhile “journalism”. The Comments section following the article is an equally good read, as its utterly devoid of meaningful solutions and instead beats the green drum of “New Energy Solutions” (most of which aren’t new at all).
When finished, please tell me again about the Left’s command and comprehension of “facts”.
