Keillor's Dallas jabs read like fictional tale
The Dallas Morning News ^ | October 5, 2005 | Jacquielynn Floyd

Garrison Keillor must have come to Dallas itching for a fight.

He must have come here expecting – even intending – to have his worst expectations confirmed.

There's no other explanation for the deeply insulting remarks he directs in a syndicated opinion column at the fans who went to Highland Park United Methodist Church last week to hear him speak. An adoring crowd could not have been rewarded with more contempt if they had gone to see the Sex Pistols.

Why are liberals so nasty?

Especially the sanctimonious ones like Garrison Keillor and Bill Moyers.

The liberals who invited this buffoon to address them got paid in kind. Too bad. There is a reason it's called "Lake Woebegone."

For the same reason they are liberals: they are full of self-hatred.

The publicist concurred, saying that Mr. Keillor did not have contact with any church members or people in the audience before he spoke.

Just another lying lib.

They lie so casually and get away with it so frequently that they feel that they can lie about anything or anybody with impunity.

I think I'll burn my one and only Garrison Keillor book. (for you DU lurkers, this will be an exercise in private property rights, not censorship......but I don't expect you to understand it)

Like most Leftists, Keillor seems to see what he expects to see, not what is there.

But I don't know if it's self-hatred. If it were, the hate wouldn't be directed so much and so exclusively at Republicans. (This from the pro-tolerance crowd.) The Liberal thinks his attacks on the Republicans exonerates himself and elevates him above all of his personal shortcoming and impossible political fantasies. That's why a highly ineffective boob like Carter acts like a sanctimonious twit towards all the Republicans who followed him. He's self-proclaimed superior moral motivations lifts him above the reality of his bungled leadership as president. In that sense, he's the perfect example of what a Liberal acting superior is. In short, he and they are frauds.

Dallas is surely not a Conservative city, at least by Texas standards. Mr K perhaps thinks Dallas should be more like the rest of the state and has done his bit, now, to bring that about. I hope he was successfull in that.

I sure hope they didn't pay him very much. What a bottom feeder.

They do not think they are lying because reality is a point of view. If he says it he believes it because he has said it. That mindset tends to simplify things for a liberal.It helps people to be intellectuals who are not truly equipped for it.

Garrison Keillor is the Will Rogers of our time!

"Like most Leftists, Keillor seems to see what he expects to see, not what is there."

This pompous, arrogant buffoon is a typical lefty. Other than his voice, the man has no talent. Can't imagine why anybody would invite him anywhere.

When I was in highschool our local paper ran a feature which was a reprint of Roger's column for that day 30 years previous. I was amazed how insipid, obvious, and plain stupid it was.

The people who invited him are not liberals, at least not most of them. Supposedly, they wanted to hear various opinions (always a mistake).

It is absolutely pointless to be nice to liberals. They always repay you with venom.

I can be kinda hate-filled at times myself about some things, but nothing like them.

Burning is a respectful way to get rid of something. I'd toss it in the dumpster.

Your book, your choice.

He was incredibly phony. He told them what he thought they wanted to hear and then went home to his safe spot and trashed them.

Dallas is pretty conservative if one includes the many suburban adjuncts. Even Dallas city limits went for Bush.

Surely you jest!

Garrison is a rambling old fool and needs to step into Lake Woebegone carrying a cement block.
