Leftist Garrison Keillor on His Enemies: The Right.

It is obvious what the Left thinks even when they apologize for saying it out loud. Here Keillor lets flow the elitist condescension with abandon. I rather doubt that he was actually done at the end of the quote, here; he was probably holding back his deeper hatreds.
"The party of Lincoln and Liberty was transmogrified into the party of hairy-backed swamp developers and corporate shills, faith-based economists, fundamentalist bullies with Bibles, Christians of convenience, freelance racists, misanthropic frat boys, shrieking midgets of AM radio, tax cheats, nihilists in golf pants, brownshirts in pinstripes, sweatshop tycoons, hacks, fakirs, aggressive dorks, Lamborghini libertarians, people who believe Neil Armstrong’s moonwalk was filmed in Roswell, New Mexico, little honkers out to diminish the rest of us, Newt’s evil spawn and their Etch-A-Sketch president, a dull and rigid man suspicious of the free flow of information and of secular institutions, whose philosophy is a jumble of badly sutured body parts trying to walk."

One wonders why people such as him who despise our rights and heritage don't simply go live in any one of their communist utopias.

I never cared for Keillor or his program on NPR. A little too self-congratulatory, a little too ironic, a little too 'in on the joke', if you will; what the rest of the world would call flippancy.

I absolutely love the multisyballic spew, though. No one swaddles unadulterated hatred in so many fine descriptives as Garrison Keillor. If I thought for four seconds that he had anything but an ideology to push, I might give what he said credence.

But it's nearly all name-calling, which is what the liberal excels in doing, but will hardly pass for a factual set of statements.

That long string of names applies to 'the party of Lincoln' because Garrison said so. And for no other reason. And Garrison, for all his fame and money, is just another fallen schlub like you and me.

Sorry, that's "multi-syllabic". Dang it!
