respecting disrespect
It was all because of what Glenn started.

-- Arianna Huffington

(Via He Who Started It.)

I'm amazed to have seen Arianna Huffington make that remark on Howard Kurtz's Reliable Sources show on CNN. It might have been good politics, but for whatever reason I think was quite decent of her to say that, and while I still harbor old disrespect, tough as it is, I must now grudgingly acknowledge that I have new respect for her.

It goes without saying that I'm also here because of what Glenn started.

So are a lot of people who'd never dare ackowledge it.

(I'd have more respect for them if they did, too....)

grudging respect? don't strain yourself.

This remark speaks volumes about your habit of either demonizing or worshipping everyone. maybe you should quit seeing the world as us and them.

You have a point. Now that us are them, and them are us, I really should demonize those I worship and worship those I demonize more often.

I've noticed that it's always the demons who protest at being demonized, and it's always Them who protest against any discrimination between Us and Them.
