Ebert - My friend Brian

Ebert - My friend Brian Jones runs "Boviosity". He uncorks on Roger Ebert (scroll down to the part beginning "Amateur patriot Roger Ebert..." - his permalinks aren't working).

The money quote, to me, is probably a toss-off to Brian:

It's so hard not to call people names when they're being this thick. The density of ignorance in this brief paragraph is astonishing. It's almost as if it was edited to seem perfectly and wilfully ignorant.

So the left regards virtually everything the right says as either supreme idiocy or lies; you can test this by cranking up Rush Limbaugh in front of a group of U of M CLA grad students and recording the remarks.

And of course, we on the right regard much of what the left says as ungaugeable cretinism.

In light of piece below, where we quote Andrew Sullivan about how "an intelligent opposition helps good government rather than hinders it", then here's my question:

If someone (of any political orientation) speaks in the forest, and everyone who disagrees calls it idiocy, will anyone hear it?

Not that Ebert's piece isn't pretty stupid...
