Sullivan's Back

Andrew Sullivan is at it again. I can hardly contain my laughter when one of the most mild-mannered bloggers takes him down a notch or two for quoting him out of context.

I've mentioned this before, but the reason I can't stand Sullivan is because he offers absolutely nothing to any argument beyond pure knee-jerk, reactionary hyperbole. Hyperbole never takes the complexities of a well-reasoned argument into account, and chooses instead to distill details through a myopic filter to fit a simple minded narrative. Sullivan is irrate with the religous right over gay marriage and has been dangerously close on a few occassions to comparing evangelical Christians to Islamic fundamentalists. I'm not exactly sympathetic to the evangelical community, however in my mind, evangelical Christians are to Islamic fundamentalists as puppies are to ravenous, rabid pit-bulls that have been teased with a stick. Regardless of my differences with evangelical theology, I, like Glenn, believe they are generally well-intentioned people who generally love this country and won't reduce themselves, as a movement, to the mass murder of innocent Americans if they don't get their way.

Sullivan schtick is getting so freaking old and he's getting moonbat, Oliver Willis crazy. Everytime I see him quoted somewhere, the same thought crosses my mind when I flip past Gallagher on TV, "Is there anyone out there that genuinely finds this guy intesting?"

UPDATE: In typical fashion, Ace has much funnier and biting thoughts on Andy "the Sky is Falling and the Religous Zealots Are Going to Sew My Ass Closed" Sullivan.
