Mental Twister, San Francisco Style
July 2nd, 2006 at 5:29 pm by CrankyApparently The San Francisco Chronicle, as the titular epitome of objective journalism, has unleashed their top talent in the ongoing battle against Conservatism. Lacking a single cogent voice, the Chronicle chose to play its one hackneyed card. They played their bigotry card.
Bigotry is a good game. The people who believe they are “progressive” believe that anyone with faith in anything are bigots. The people who believe that they are “tolerant” have a racial perspective that would make a eugenist blush. Hardly anyone who reads the San Francisco Chronicle acknowledges that they haven’t eliminated bias and bigotry, but rather traded it in for their own liberal brand. But really, how important is that?
Also, the name of the San Francisco Chronicle contains the word “San Francisco.” Many members of the Progressive movement consider “San Francisco” as a nifty code word for “unbridled Liberal arrogance” and “virulent anti-Semitism.” It’s very nice that the Chronicle can attack Conservatives of any stripe without (a) saying the word “Cracker” and without (b) getting charged with “hate crimes” that they so consistiently champion.
I have heard it said that homosexuals really like Islamists because both groups are eagerly anticipating the destruction of the United States. Since their common loathings supercede any rational thought, both groups are working hard to fulfill that goal. We may assume that Conservatives are, implicitly against the end of the United States. . It’s a controversial position — death of history’s greatest democracy: aye or nay? — and is another good reason the Chronicle is a steadfast opponent.
(Of course, homosexuals and Islamists differ about what will happen after the death of the United States, but there will be plenty of time to sort that out while the gay bath houses are pulled down on top of their patrons).

You think this is a hacked piece of bad writing? Check out the original. And this chucklehead is paid to write it.
Tipped off by Ace, The New Editor and Hot Air.
Note: I cannot emphasize this enough – after having lived in San Francisco for eight years and daily reading this intolerant “tolerance”, I finally concluded that the only defining trait of the Liberal was that his/her bigotry was more enlightened.
After that eye-opening experience food started tasting better and I stopped feeling guilty for being a (mostly) white male.

You think *that* is bad? Check out al-Reuters over here:
Mexico on knife edge in presidential vote
So what are they saying? That Mexicans stab people? That is when the bias kicks in -
There was another South American election recently where the resurgent left-wingers took a big defeat.

I like the Champion of the Poor bit without the quotes. You know when they say “principled” conservative. The suckage knows no bounds.

Enlightened bigotry! That’s a great line, and very appropriate.

Noses Growing…
I liked it so much, I stole it!

But don’t you understand? See, it’s just the New York Joos that the administration hates – you know, the exception that proves the rule. While Zionist Neocons and the red-staters are busy standing with the Joos in Israel and against European and Middle Eastern anti-Semitism, they need an outlet to vent all the pent-up rage that innately poisons conservative minds. Naturally, New York Joos fill the void.
It all makes sense. And Bush hates puppies, too. Don’t forget about the puppies. D*mn that Bush administration and all those red-state bigots.

I like the enlightened bigotry quote, too.
I certainly wouldn’t say that there’s a Pink-Green alliance. C’mon.
But there is a Red-Green alliance. (And sure, some of those Reds may well be Pink) Marxism – and particular Trotskyite Reds – believe in destruction above all, and they’re not too fussy about who they get into bed with – so long as it will destroy the established order. We certainly see that with the Stop the War Coalition and George Galloway’s Respect party.
Islamists, on the other hand, will take the help on offer. But no doubt their Red friends will be up against the wall first if they achieve their ‘mutual’ goal.

With the exception of the truly conflicted “Queers for Palestine”, I agree. That snippet is just an inversion of the author’s Christians and Orthodox Jews line in the original. Figured I needed something equally asinine.

That’s why we call them the Watermelon Party. Green on the outside, Red on the inside.

Has anyone sent this to that moron, Jon Carroll? Not that he’d be smart enough to figure out the satire…

I thought about it Billy. They’re too insular and arrogant.
The Chron was the first paper where I started sending letters to the editor.
Their mentality is still that they’re the only journalistic option. You get no response. The letters they do print, even negative ones are used to further the agenda.
For example, the only responses printed from Christans are from the little old lady types who say, “Well, it’s against God.”

I wasn’t aware that “enlightened” was a synonym for “dishonest”. We live and learn.

For those of us who have lived or still live on or new the Left Coast (apologies to Lee), we call it:
SFKH for SanFranKornHole. Let’s see if THAT makes ‘em madder than saying “Frisco”! Oh, and the newspaper is the ChronicIronical. So, the SanFranKornHole ChronicIronical is its full name.

Oh, and SFKH’s “patron muslim saint” is ali BenDover. He and Taliban should be visiting soon. Very soon.
