Breitbart has gone full anti Trump all the time

64. Oh, his values are old-fashioned, alright

As in pre-Civil War!

But Richard is capable of "leaving his guns at the door," as he puts it. Most of his contemporaries are not.

Richard, like his less civil (and thus more outlandish) contemporaries, is not immune to "All lies and jests/Still a man hears what he wants to hear/And disregards the rest," as Paul Simon so keenly noted.

This is the difference between the rigid ideological right and the reasoned left. Both Richard and Rachel Maddow will drop something like a hot potato if proven to be false. The difference is, Rachel wants any statement she makes to be checked out before she says it in the first place. Richard is not so picky, especially if his "information" comes from a source he wants to believe. But behind the freaked out ideology he espouses, he's not as totally fooled by it as his website might imply. Last time I saw him in person, it was before the inauguration, and I reminded him that he himself had dissed Trump during the primaries as being not "conservative" in the slightest. He responded that Trump could be a Communist for all he cared, since Trump would not be attending 99% of the meetings where policy was decided--a very astute and reasoned insight for someone who makes his living descending to the intellectual level of the human hyenas that constitute his followers.
