Heh.

I just heard a caller, Mike the Liberal, call into the Medved program where Fred Barnes was plugging his new book. His first question was "Are you delusional?" Now that'll open up the discussion. That's what I see mostly from liberals--insults replacing arguments, accompanied by a failure to realize that there is a different. Thus anyone who doesn't share their orthodoxy is delusional. But if someone were truly delusional, would he know it? One might as well say, "No. Are you?"

But why bother? Liberals these days are constantly stating highly tendentious assertions with no proof whatsoever, as if John Kerry or Chuck Schumer saying it makes it true. Then they get mad if everybody doesn't agree, and really, really mad if more people doubt it than believe it. Examples: "We wouldn't be in this war in Iraq if Bush hadn't lied!" (This is called projection, from the way LBJ cozened the Senate to pass the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.); "Bush was a draft dodger/deserter during Vietnam!" (But, hey, who wasn't? Nudge, nudge.); "Bush's authorization of NSA wiretaps was/is illegal!" (Just like Nixon!).
