Once more, Hinderaker commits the fallacy of composition.
He does so, knowingly — and churlishly. As ever.
He knows “Palestine” is not co-terminous with “Hamas” just as from 2002 to 2008, he knew Muslim was not a circle of Venn diagram with Isis.
But it feeds his rabid GOP followers’ hatreds, so he just… lies.
Completely on brand; utterly… boring.
Y A W N.
Then he attacks (again!) a young environmental activist (now only 20 years old).
She’s still too young to order a hard drink anywhere in the US… but he needs — needs — NEEDS!… to attack her. [More than one side is at fault — no one side is 100% at fault… for 2,300 years of hostilities, John.]
He has admitted that at this same age, at Dartmouth, he was a Communist — and was arrested for taking over the administration building (with the rather whimsical / nutty notion that Dartmouth’s Chancellor could effect the end of “the police action” in Vietnam).
And at that point, we didn’t know about Cambodia / Kissinger. Just imagine if young John had known! “Colonizing imperialists” certainly would have been his rhetorical mantra. And he wouldn’t have been any more wrong than Greta — at 20.
These bitter old irrelevant coots at Powerline… all need a sabbatical.
Seriously — they just need to stop talking.
Altogether.
Out.
