michael moore = ann coulter

Tonight, I found this comment by Greg Knauss on Waxy.org:

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.

This determined emotionalism - which is another way of saying anti-rationalism - is what drives us today. You can find it distasteful, you can find it depressing, but it's most important impact is that we have turned over the direction of the country - our future - to the part of our psyche that doesn't want to think.

It's not about smarts. The lunatics aren't stupid - just the opposite. It's about the willingness to abandon the deductive process in favor of epiphany. It's about the abandonment of the brain in favor of the gut.

Damn! He's right to admit that "Jon Stewart has said all this, of course, and said it better" - but still, the Daily Show never revealed this salient fact: Moore IS Coulter! As Moore, she is wearing Eddie Murphy's cast-off fat-suit! That explains everything...
