Here's Charles Johnson's site in a nutshell (note: the same Charles Johnson attitude applies to Fundamentalists and Muslims):
Johnson: "He's a racist !"
Commenter 1: Yeah, and a bigot"
Commenter 2: "I hate racist bigots!"
Commenter 3: "Are you sure he's a racist?"
Johnson: "What the hell?"
Commenter 3: "Uh, well, the charge of bigotry is too often expressed in terms of a sophisticated, liberal-thinking elite trying to rein in the emotional and illogical unwashed masses. I mean, there's not such a simple ideological, racial, or religious divide between a monolithic "us" and "them." It seems we've devolved to the point where promiscuously crying "Bigot!" and "Racist!" only means you've failed to convince people of the merits of an argument."
Johnson: "Get off my site you racist scum!"
Commenter 1: Holy crappola, can you believe that bigot?"
Commenter 2: "I hate racist bigots!"

There is nothing as circular as a circle jerk.
Well, Carol H's reasoning is pretty circular.
And thanks for commenting.
I think you have to update this.
Althouse has become the dumbest site on the Web. Just sayn'
I feel that's a shot at me, since I've been posting there all day.
Not disagreeing though...
Or maybe not. People at Althouse are a mixed bag. I'm always surprised at the hero-worshipers & people who think mega-success in business is just about trying real hard.
Not that I ever did that.
I got booted from Chuckles' site maybe three years or so back. That was when he was just agitated, not full-blown insane.
