Kidding Themselves So They Can Live With Themselves

Pundits who like to talk about how the Tea Party Movement's white racist stealth-Republican shills have "so much in common" with the ferocious advocates for social justice of the Occupy Movement do so for the same reason that pundits like to pretend that "bipartisan compromise" between brazen fascists of the GOP and still-remaining timid capitulationist Democrats is somehow "centrist" despite the extreme divergence of such compromises from policies demanded by actual majorities of the American people they claim to represent: namely, so that these pundits can pretend that they themselves are not active forces for evil they know enough to know better than to serve and know in their hearts that they do.
