Reply #159: Good God, of COURSE they are, though it's hardly "spying"... [View All]

I think "reading" is a sufficient verb, after all, it's not difficult to get to this site, is it?

Incompetent they may be but NOT reading the widely available loud opinions of ones opposition is the death of a politician. It's entirely understandable.

On a related note: You saw the recent thread with all the RW quotes about the perceived success of the Iraq war from 2003? Few of the RW mouths had anything of substance to say about Iraq, 90% of their huffings and puffings were about the left and how it should be ashamed and hang its head and all that guff. The Amercian Right Wing is OBSESSED with the left. They're all over this site every day! Their whole identity is based on being NOT US. They haven't any positive qualities of their own.

Every single RW talking point is a response to a left wing position. There aren't any that appear spontaneously, there is no spontaneously generated RW ideology, it's all reactionary. So they HAVE to read this site or they fall over as a movement.

(This doesn't apply to the fundies, of course, they DO have a policy generating machine).
