Jeff G, exposed

March 9th, 2009

At Hot Air. Go read it all. I’ll have more to say on it when I get time, I assure you. But for now, suffice to say that I couldn’t agree more. The time for tailoring our words out of significant concern over whether our enemies might be able to distort them is past; they will find a way, always, and there’s absolutely no reason to think otherwise. The discussion going forward, it seems to me, ought to be about how we’re going to go around the liars and speak directly to honest people of good will — while revealing, every chance we get, the craven dishonesty the shameless Left has no qualms about employing as a political tactic.

    Jeff Goldstein literally has changed how I view language. I feel his pain, though, because I've tried to have this conversation with smart, right leaning people and CANNOT get through their head.

    My intent is the only thing that is important when I say something. You can argue what I intended to say and be logically consistent. What you cannot say is "I know you didn't mean X, but since someone might misconstrue X, you should have said something else".

    It's dishonest and illogical.

    I wish PW was only JG. I like the other people, but only enjoy reading Jeff.

    Start with this: they aren't "progressives", they are reactionary leftists.

    No, straight up socialists. It's just a matter of time before they start openly calling themselves such.

    JG is a mordern snakeoil salesman and a little one at that.

    This is all so inside baseball. It won't have any effect on anything. It just keeps the participants busy while they try to figure out what to do with their lives.

    Michelle, is there an actual argument against Jeff's stance on intentionalism or is ad hominem attacks all we can expect?
