Next stop: The Bughouse. Andrew Sullivan used to be one of my favorite bloggers. But he irked us all with his endorsement of John Kerry over the gay marriage issue (never mind that Kerry claimed to oppose gay marriage as well--Sully knew that was just for form. But now Sully's gone completely bonkers, endorsing this Alex Jones fruitcake mockumentary on the Cheney shooting incident:
Sully did acknowledge Jones' nuttiness after it was pointed out by a reader, but makes the classic mistake of going on:
It's unfortunate that the guy is a crazed nut, but I'd still like to know why he's wrong in this case. One reader argued that different shotguns, even of identical manufacture, can have different dispersement, a fact that would undermine Jones' case. Maybe other readers can help debunk this theory - or not.
I'm sure if I looked over at Stormfront, I could find a persuasive video "proving" that the Holocaust never happened. What would Sully say if I tried to excuse myself by saying, "Yeah, the source is crazy, but why are they wrong in this particular case?"
Dan Riehl showed what was wrong with this video months ago.
