Thread Name: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
I have noted for some years now, Amos, that you always disagree with those with whom you do not agree, and that you persist in doing so in a totally consistent and invariable manner. In so doing you are running with the crowd, my good man, cleaving to the dull mainstream, conforming to the norm, behaving in a shockingly generic and predictable fashion...like the people who shop at WalMart! This does not befit a man who can casually drop terms like frisson into a conversation without even making it seem like he's straining his credibility. This tendency you have to disagree with those with whom you do not agree is disturbing. It suggests that you may not be as brilliant as I had thought...that you may, in fact, be little more than a rank poseur! When can I expect you to break out of the straitjacket of predictable knee-jerk reactionism and instead strike a bold new stance of independent thought and political analysis?

Hmmmm?
