&quot;&lt;em&gt;He becomes more and more Baghdad-Bob-like as this goes on.&lt;/em&gt;&quot;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Surely he can&#039;t believe that anyone who reads his missives will be persuaded.  Narcissism, delusion, boredom-driven trolling, ....  Who knows why he bothers?
Who cares?
Hell, I love occasionally jumping into a comment section filled with frothing, self-righteous &quot;liberals&quot; to refute their statements.  When a dozen mindless zombies attack you at once, it can be intimidating, but careful attention to principles and the resolution to cite facts in support of your argument does wonders to drive them away.  Eventually, &quot;liberal&quot; moderators tend to ban people like us.  Scott, on the other hand, has no principles, no ability to cite pertinent facts (just tangential, irrelevant ones), so there&#039;s no reason to ban him.  He&#039;s the entertainment around here, with his own dedicated spoof.
If he only saw himself as other do, we&#039;d have to find some other form of levity.</description>

		<description>It only makes sense since the rich Americans are paying most of the taxes.
Give me one good reason why the government would want those with low or no taxes to succeed.</description>

		<description>Who regulates eBay?
Who regulates the many hundreds of industry protocols that govern the electronics industry and others?
Who regulates sales of feeder cattle and fed cattle?
The answer is that these are models of regulation by the market players themselves, acting in their own self-interest, and doing a job better, quicker, and MUCH more efficiently than any government regulator could EVER hope to do.</description>

		<description>Oh, I’m sure, because that’s what most other “progressives” do -- as if no one ever opposed the Left before Obama came along.

Obama is nothing.  When he is gone, he’ll be replaced by some other Mr. Thompson figure who sounds and acts just like him.  But the Left is so smitten with him that any perceived slight against the man registers as a (psych term incoming!) narcissistic injury, to which the response is always rage.</description>

		<description>Obama has had more real scandals be ignored than any president in history. The list is long and shameful. The lack of interest until after the election by the press, and Obama&#039;s unwillingness to make any changes has harmed our nation. And you don&#039;t care a whit.
McCarthy went after communists and this was a bad thing, we all agree. Obama&#039;s IRS went after mere Tea Partiers and you are cool with that. I assume you are also ok with agency heads using secret emails, charging different rates for FOIA requests, and asking people about the contents of their prayers.
If you truly believe in democracy, you would not be so eager to glide past these scandals.

		<description>And tell us again about wise pragmatic Obama arming the guys destined to lose.   Or do you think perhaps his REAL goal is to arm the rebels NOW to allow the slaughter to be prolonged so that as many Syrians as possible can be killed in the ongoing struggle.</description>

		<description>He&#039;ll just claim that roughly half the country are racist and/or Obamaphobes.
 
He becomes more and more Baghdad-Bob-like as this goes on.</description>

		<description>The “scandals” have already faded – there was nothing there. Isn&#039;t it wonderful that you have someone completely non-ideological like me to come here and tell you that? To tip you off that one side hasn&#039;t done anything wrong of consequence and the other side totally manufactured these scandals? 

Yep, that&#039;s what smart, non-ideological, dispassionate, non-emotion driven people like me do - carefully explain to dense righties that they are wrong about everything, all the time. And of course I do it completely as a public service because you are so mis-informed, and never ever out of any emotional satisfaction I get from talking down to you inbred, sterile righties so that I can stop thinking for just a few precious moments about how my wife kicked me out for being a jerk, and I&#039;m now living in a tiny apartment while being stuck in a low-paying job at a rural moose college that doesn&#039;t even grant PhDs. Stop saying all that. You&#039;re just jealous because you don&#039;t have the luxury of shaping young minds, in a completely non-ideological fashion of course. 

Naïve Obama-phobes may want to imagine that Obama was ordering investigations and the like, but nobody who understands the process could possibly believe that. And that&#039;s not either a strawman because people around here never claimed it. Somebody claimed it, somewhere. So I get to hold you responsible and keep harping on it. And no, I don&#039;t have to furnish any links that you claimed it or that anyone anywhere claimed. It&#039;s just intuitively obvious to a trained political scientist like me that this is the way you thick righties think about such things. No additional evidence needed.

Again, you’re in Onion territory. LOL. LOL, I say. {chuckle} for good measure. And than Onion stuff is not either something I pull out when I know you&#039;ve got a point but I&#039;m too cowardly and clueless to grasp or counter it. Stop laughing.

Ever wonder why your readership is down, even though the average number of comments is the same which would indicate stable readership? No? Well, you should. Because you&#039;re pitiful. You’ve become a caricature. Unlike me, who is certainly not a caricature of a pompous leftist academic with no affect and therefore unable to keep relationships going and is forced to live alone in a small apartment with a regretable vulnerability to magenta caterpillars with Sarah Palin&#039;s face, naughty librarian glasses, and ample bosom.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Readership down?  Oh, you mean the disconnected sitemeter stats.  Yeah, it was slowing down our page load time so we 86ed it.  Readership, per our server stats, is doing very well.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
