Light Hate

I got a good chuckle from Jonah today -- about hate and guessed thoughts of those under the tinfoil hats:

I could go on. But the point is that just because I hate these people and things doesn't mean I'm wrong. Nor does it mean that my reasons for hating them are irrational or illegitimate. Indeed, we generally consider people who say they don't hate Hitler to have an incomplete or warped grasp of the facts. Conservatives believe that not hating Stalin just as much is a sign of world-historical bias for mass murderers of the Left. We don't treat people who think dried figs and blue cheese make a nice lunch as if they're crazy, but hopefully if Bush can get a few justices on the Supreme Court we'll be able to change that.
