[Zuben Elgenubi]

from the article: "There is in modern political polarization a strong whiff of the old paranoid style of American politics: the left imagines big corporations plotting with neocons to protect Big Oil, while the right imagines a conspiracy of big media, Hollywood and academe to subvert traditional values."

And then there is the citizenry of FreeRepublic who mostly believe both positions and would never be caught reading a hard copy of Newsweak.

a conspiracy of big media, Hollywood and academe to subvert traditional values

Conspiracy? No -- simply a general movement of like minded, godless, anti-American Marxists.

Lets see, IN THIS CORNER THERE ARE:..FREEPERS, CONSERVATIVES, RUSH-SEAN-ANNIE-LAURA FANS
AKA THE KINGS OF LOGIC AND LINEAR THINKING...

AND THEN OVER THERE, THERE ARE THE LIBS ...WHO CAN’T THINK IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND WHO ARE NOT INTIMATE WITH LOGIC ON ANY LEVEL N WHEN YOU TRY TO BRING THEM AROUND WITH SANE ARGUMENTS..... ANN COULTER EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPENS:

‘Liberals traffic in shouting and demagogy. In a public setting, they will work themselves into a dervish-like trance and start incanting inanities: “Bush lied, kids died!” “racist!” “fascist!” “fire Rumsfeld!” “Halliburton!” Fortunately, the street performers usually punch themselves out eventually and are taken back to their parents’ house.

Also resembling the Arab street, liberals are chock-full of conspiracy theories. They invoke weird personal obsessions like a conversational deus ex machina to trump all facts. You think you’re talking about the war in Iraq and suddenly you start getting a disquisition on Nixon, oil, the neoconservatives’

I DON’T really SEE HOW WE CAN BE AT FAULT HERE.
