More Hate from the Ideology Which Supposedly Makes No H8 a Foundational Principle
At Instapundit.
This isn't a politics, it's a pathology. It's a socially-approved outlet for neurosis, hysteria, and inadequacy issues.
A UCSF fundraiser (not a professor) thinks that "nonbelievers" -- nonbelievers, that is, of ObamaCare -- should be refused medical treatment.
That's Nick Searcy, Art Mullen of Justified, calling her out.
It's interesting to me that she links 18 ounce sodas to this. The message is clear and unmistakable: If you refuse to obey our orders about what we currently believe is healthy, we need you to die.
And so it came to pass that once again an angry, primitive tribe dreamed of converting other tribes to its beliefs by the sword, or being Smited by the Health Gods.
And check the Instapundit link for the Michigan professor, supposedly a creative writing teacher, who decided to use the time that students were paying quite a lot of money for to deliver a rant unworthy of Ed Schultz.
William Penn -- a professor in the university's creative writing program -- was featured in a YouTube video (see above) in which he told students "if you go to the Republican convention in Florida, you see all of the old Republicans with the dead skin cells washing off them."
"They are cheap. They don't want to pay taxes because they have already raped this country and gotten everything out of it they possibly could," Penn continued. "They don't want to pay for your tuition because who are you? Well to me, you are somebody."
Interesting here is is how he hides his motives from himself. Because Hate is, supposedly, a forbidden thing in the Cult of the Left, everyone on the left has to pretend they're not giving vent their hatreds even as they vomit up their hatreds. And so, in a rant full of hatred and actual threats (not physical threats, but threats to "come after you" rhetorically) against his caricature of what a Republicans might look like, he adds:
"I absolutely don't mean to offend you," Penn said. "Even if you are a Republican, I don't mean to offend you in this class."
Why of course you didn't! Perish the thought!
Of course you could never intend to offend or insult someone. Your motives are pure -- definitionally. As a sub-acolyte in the Cult of the Left, your are cleansed of all sins, all hatreds, all selfishnesses, all irrationalities.
Therefore it must be the case that even as you deliver a hateful monologue to your students, vaguely threatening the closet "racists" (by which he means "Republicans") among them, that you mean no offense at all, and are in fact simply doing your Strange God's work.
I've mentioned this before, but it is a common characteristic of religion to hold certain things as taboo -- sex, for example -- but where a human urge is taboo, there is usually some sort of approved outlet for it. In conventional religion, sex is taboo, but sex within a marriage is approved. (And I'm not saying that's unreasonable or irrational -- just noting that there is an "out" on sex, as there must be.)
On the left the taboo is Hate, and the Approved Outlet for it is... well, just about everything. So long as your Hate advances the Cult, it is not only not taboo, but actually Righteous and Sacred.
Incidentally, CNN just looked at online hate once again (focusing on Twitter), and once again they focused only on the H8 they associate with the right, the Forbidden Hatreds.
They never examine all this very palpable hatred emanating from the left -- because, of course, that's not not Forbidden Hatred, but Sacred Hatred.
