I’m very familiar with the accusation that standing up for a conservative viewpoint (even just to object to its mischaracterization) renders one hard right. It just doesn’t make any sense.
That’s never happened to you. I think the confusion has more to do with going extremely hard on the fringiest elements of the left whilst ignoring the mainstream crazy of the right.
I don’t think I’ve gotten that accusation here. Elsewhere I have but I’m not talking about just me/here. I also don’t talk much about the fringiest Left either. Frink offers the supposed justification but it doesn’t explain his response to Jay. The problem is calling mainstream conservatives ideas crazy as if that makes it so.
