Youll note Mr. Wizard - that my comment had fuck all to do with the content of the article, and everything to do with the movement Ive noticed in certain "intellectual circles".

I'm not going to even bother with your multi-syllalabic cry for "Hey I Be Smart" kudos -

I DONT need to read the article since nothing in the above reply was a rebuke or refutation of anyones findings. I could give two shits if you try to qualify your "credible" source by claiming its right-wing, etc. etc. My comment isnt focused on that. Its focused on the hilarity of the "revised" quote, and the progressive blogsphere jumping on it as a proxy for right-wing-attacks, nevermind that the "revised" translation isnt any better or less inflammatory than the original comment ("Hey they arent saying to wipe anyone of the planet - they just dont want them to exist in history, past, present, or future - TOTALLY different") - hence the analogy which I guess was SO SIMPLE that it didnt even register in your advanced analytical mind.

As for "personal attacks" - when you preface a reply with a backhanded bullshit "Oh I know noone here likes to actually read anything", and follow up with a sloopy "Oh I undersestimated the literacy level of youse dudes" (keep reading that - you'll figure out why that "subtle" insult doesnt work), you basically open yourself up to getting as much as you give.

And finally - youre not as smart as you think you are Machette. Too bad you seem to be the last person to get that. . .
