Easy Pickin'

Ah, maybe it's too easy to bash the idiots. I mean, it seems like a lot of blogs are created like so:

Right-wing blog: Find some stupid thing that a far-left psycho said on some message board and write a post about how nuts it is. Then conclude that "the left" agrees with the stupid statement and that this proves they are either:
A) About to implode, freeing America once and for all from the two-party system,
B) About to take over the country, lock us in PC camps, have gay-sex drug orgies in schools

Left-wing blog: Find some stupid thing that a far-right psycho has said on some message board and write a post about how nuts it is. Accuse all of "the right" of agreeing with the stupid statement. Conlude that they are either:
A) Taking over and turning America into a theocratic fascist state,
B) Sure to lose in the next election against Hilary Clinton, or Ralph Nader, or whichever version of Mr. Rogers the Democrats are running this time.

So, maybe I should try harder. I mean, how hard is it to bash people who are posting on the Internet? It feels like King Kong smashing biplanes. Maybe it's time for me to move on to something else. There's a tendency to get drawn into these "debates" that rival drunken frat boy arguments for their level of sheer stupidity. Maybe I need to try harder.
