Probably better to put him back on Ignore. I don't get much enjoyment debating a mental midget. He'd argue 2 + 2 = 5 if I said 2 + 2 = 4.
I beg to differ. I view DB as good fun. He's generally respectful if a bit snarky. He hasn't threatened anyone. He's clearly trolling but he puts some thought into his posts. Of course I live in DC and read the WashPost so I don't expect much from liberals.
It's difficult when Republicans are so prone to confirmation bias, ingroup bias, observational selection, and bandwagonning. But it's still possible.
DB does provide the perfect case study for leftists as a group. Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. According to some research, the projection of one's negative qualities onto others is a common process in everyday life.[2] However, the belief that psychological projection includes the denial of any of the perceived negative qualities in oneself is challenged by research, and the concept may need to be revised.[3] .... Carl Jung considered that the unacceptable parts of the personality represented by the Shadow archetype were particularly likely to give rise to projection, both small-scale and on a national/international basis.[21]Marie-Louise Von Franz extended his view of projection, stating that: "... wherever known reality stops, where we touch the unknown, there we project an archetypal image".[22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection
