You'll be surprised how I feel on issues. Love stay-at-home moms, politics, STEM/med, Rad Onc💉. The best suburbia has to offer. Don't care to be "woke."💪🏾💅🏾

There's good reason for that. We've seen what California transplants have done to states like Arizona and Nevada when they bring their failed ideological politics with them.

You a&&holes are doing the same thing to @mattyglesias so maybe take it down a notch, Great Value Brand @oneunderscore__.
Since my Hanania story published he's had friendly interactions on Twitter with: Darren Beattie (washingtonpost.com/politics/…) Chuck Johnson (splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…) Scott Greer (theatlantic.com/politics/arc…)

This is one of the great dichotomies of our time.
Have you ever noticed that many of the same people insisting that we forgive, release, and give “second chances” to convicted murderers, rapists, and armed robbers will insist you be fired and relegated to the fringes of society over a 15yo text message that they find offensive?

The people with the deepest "empathy" seem to be the most vicious.

It actually makes tons of sense if you think about it from friend/enemy distinctions

Probably because socialists are gutter trash who deserve the Pinochet treatment.

I'm assuming as fat as you are that you ate the kindergarten class afterwards.
I've literally been reading racists right-wingers (notably Samuel Francis and Pat Buchanan) since Yglesias was in kindergarten. It's a big part of the work I do. Yet I somehow manage to avoid praising them as interesting parts of the discourse even as analyze their work.

That you don’t recognize that Francis and Buchanan have interesting contributions to the discourse says a lot about your intellect.

I am sure that's a factor but I don't think any level of collegiality will make people positively disposed towards the Bananas should be banned guy

Ah yes, why would a liberal amplify Hanania's "Why conservatives should respect the mainstream media" drivel instead of "I want Democrats to be real socialists and under socialism there will be no bananas", clearly he must be a secret fascist sympathizer.

Don't flatter yourself, Yglesias doesn't avoid the far left because he thinks you are beyond the pale, he (correctly) thinks you are stupid and counterproductive to his political goals whereas amplifying Hanania's ramblings helps him dunk on conservatives.
Replying to @HeerJeet
The key thing here is that Yglesias thinks of the revanchist & racist right as part of his universe of discourse, people who are wrong on some stuff but worth engaging with. By contrast, for him left & left-liberals beyond the pale.

One of the most annoying aspects of being an internet personality is that your enemies make stuff up about you, phrased in vague terms, that then gets passed around telephone-style on the internet so now half of twitter thinks I’m best friends with Richard Hanania.

Ma'am.. a transman is biologically a female woman. Unless she gets a hysterectomy, she can still have children through her fallopian tube and ovaries. Even if she cuts off her milk bags.

The ethos of progressive opinion journalism has changed dramatically over the last two decades. On the shrinking of the "hack gap" and the ned for independent opinion journalism: nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

so you think it doesn't make sense, but have never heard of him, and don't have any reason to believe that his "reporting the truth" is in anyway an ideological statement

lol. Perfect example of someone who seems to start out fine and becomes more unlikeable with every sentence you read after encountering them covering you actually know something about.

NR claims it's also defending the truth! Specifically the "truth" that ethics complaints against SCOTUS lack any merit.

I absolutely singled out @oneunderscore__ for criticism in this piece, and if you look at his ongoing meltdown on Twitter, it ... does not exactly refute my critique.
