Behind Enemy Lines

by digby

One of Rick Perlstein’s missions in writing his blog “The Big Con” is to try to persuade some of the conservatives out there that the Republican line has been dishonest. It’s hard to get a guage on that when the only people who read the blog are liberals and progressives like us. So, he is asking for some help:

Are you a liberal? Here’s a homework assignment. Read through the posts so far on The Big Con. Pick your favorite. Send it to your conservative friends, relatives, or coworkers. Write back in the comments about their response.

I sent the “E.Coli Conservatives” series to my wingnuts. So far, no response. Their usual line these days is that the Republicans are bad but the Democrats would be even worse. So I’m expecting a note back telling me that when “that woman” takes over to destroy the country she will be actively putting botulism in the baby formula and anyway, people should cook their food.

Until they get sick personally, in which case there will be hell to pay — by the Democrats who failed to make sure that the food supply wasn’t tainted.

We’ll see.
