A kitten, because thinking about right wingers requires brain bleach.

I have written a couple of reviews of bad right wing movies. Sadly, those guys don’t have enough creative talent to produce more than a couple of terrible movies each year, so I’ve run out of content to ridicule. Since I need a retirement hobby, I’ve decided to review the works of several prominent right wing writers. These are the fringier guys who don’t appear in person on Tucker Carlson but whose bigoted ideas do, after a certain amount of scrubbing to make them palatable to Fox viewers who don’t like to admit they’re bigots. We progressives need to know how to squelch these bad ideas before the New York Times starts publishing them.

I will read and analyze a representative sample of their works, note if they’ve had anything become viral in the last couple of decades, show where their bad ideas bleed into the mainstream Right, and also ridicule them for being disgusting. I will spend most of my time showing how they use tricks of rhetoric to conceal their lack of evidence, and how more mainstream writers mimic those tricks.

The first target is going to be the laziest man on the Internet, Steve Sailer. Later will come America’s fatuous, flatulating fascist John Derbyshire, and less known bigots like Anthony Esolen and Doug Wilson. I am opening this to suggestions from the Daily Kos community for others whose ideas need to be destroyed.
