A logical conclusion, I guess...

Since when did logical conclusions have anything to do with liberals?

You sure you ate your Wheaties this morning?

Shalom.

I'm now reminded of a FR-posted spoof news story about PEtA decrying the shaving of the beards of the prisoners in camp X-Ray as destroying the natural habitat of the lice that lived there.

Some people actually took the story seriously. I knew that it was satire from the moment I read the first sentence because while I know that PEtA is nuts, they're not that nuts.

Same principle applies here. All too often people turn the gross exaggerations of groups they don't like -- liberals, conservatives, pro-lifers, pro-choicers, feminists, homosexuals, Christians, etc -- and suddenly they actually believe that the exaggeration is reality. I ascribe such to the venom I see directed at homosexuals on FR, and the portrayal of pro-lifers as women-hating religious nuts on other forums.
