Waxy.org: Greg Knauss on the Political Divide
This essay talks about the true divide in America today: lunatic/non-lunatic divide. Now, moreso than ever before, we need to demand the truth and refuse to play along with the Soylent News the networks feed us and the Chicken Little screaming from the dishonest comedian/commentators* that distract us from the truth.
Michael Moore and Ann Coulter aren’t opposed to each other, they are each other: determined propagandists, using the language and mediums best suited to strike at the emotional core of their audiences. They do not work from a common set of facts, and would ignore them even if they existed. When they speak well, they’re Henry V on St. Crispin’s Day. When they speak poorly, they’re a spittle-flecked wacko with an “End of the World is Nigh” sign. But that’s just a matter of presentation: they’re all lunatics, asking us to stop thinking and start feeling. And to start feeling what they want us to feel.

* “dishonest comedians” means Ann Coulter, Michael Moore, etc, not Jon Stewart, Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, etc. George Carlin may be completely wrong at times but he is honest. When he is wrong it is a mistake or an opinion, not a pointed, purposeful lie.
