People say some dumb things. I've said my share. But when it comes to sounding truly clueless, over-the-top, shrill, or hyperbolic, liberals win hands down.

For instance, take something that ABC substitute news anchor David Muir said recently.

…the President marked quite a week in Washington. The [Deepwater Horizon] oil, for now, is finally stopped, and on the political front, his financial reform package finally passed. So why such low poll numbers?

It is astounding that a member of the species of Homo sapiens can be so dense. Dishonest? Yes. Ideologically blinded? Yup.

We move on to the following performance by lovable lefty "journalist" E. J. Dionne. After the NAACP was caught leveling dishonest racism charges against the Tea Party, Dionne wrote,

Good for the NAACP. We need an honest conversation about the role of race and racism in the Tea Party. Thanks to a resolution passed this week at the venerable organization's national convention, we'll get it.

Dionne's contemplative and frowning face peered at the computer screen. Puffed-up elitism wandered through the brain. Inability to judge right from wrong raced to the fingertips, which tapped out praise in place of duly-deserved criticism.

We have NBC's Chuck Todd asking Obama about the decision to avoid the Senate confirmation process for an insufferably smug Marxist, Harvard elitist Donald Berwick, as head of Medicare and Medicaid.

Do you think Washington is broken? And the reason I ask you this, because when you appointed—you did the recess appointment of Donald Berwick. You seem to send a message of one of two things. Either you didn't wanna debate about healthcare again on Capitol Hill—it got a little raucous a year ago—or, you know what? The Senate process is broken and we gotta go around them.

Even the Democrats in the Senate aren't crazy enough to confirm a Marxist to run American health care and redistribute wealth. Obviously, with an insufficient number of crazies, the Senate is "broken." Liberal-speak: Crazy = good; sane = bad. Welcome to America 2010.

Up next, one of the most arrogant liberals in the media today, Time's Joe Klein. CNBC's Trish Regan states:

His administration that [sic] came forward with an $800 billion stimulus package. And Americans are now sitting back and saying, ‘OK, where did that money go? Why is it that we’re still looking at an unemployment rate that is near ten percent’ They’re angry, they’re frustrated, they want to get back to work. And it’s clear that the spending didn’t work. So he’s facing a real challenge…

And in jumps Klein,

Who says the spending didn’t work? Who says the spending didn’t work? …It might have been 15 percent unemployment!

Klein's "reasoning" illustrates a logical fallacy that I call the "nonexistent negative." In the nonexistent negative, lack of disproof constitutes proof. Klein's "logic?" Since it can't be proved that the stimulus didn't work, then the stimulus must have worked. Okay then. Since it can't be proved that I am not a space alien, then I must be a space alien, or at the very least, much smarter than Joe Klein.

And finally, we have a gem from MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan.

...the tea partiers were nowhere when it came to ending the mass extraction in Wall Street, so I think they're actually full of crap.

Oh my.

What does Joe Six-Pack want? Freedom to prosper under limited government. But Joe didn't stop freedom-stealing big government ideologues from pushing a feel-good agenda on bankers, who then created investment tools that derived from loans given to people who had no way to repay. Joe didn't stop the ideologues from pressuring the bankers to issue the loans. Joe didn't stop the people from accepting the loans. Ultimately, Joe didn't stop Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and irresponsible inventors of irresponsible investment instruments from bringing America to her knees. The conclusion that follows in the "mind" of Ratigan? Joe is filled with human fecal matter.

NEWSFLASH: Hexagonal rugs eaten by chartreuse bricks are paddling toilets to Jupiter.

To say that liberal "logic" is childish is to insult children.
