"The point is we shouldn't have to argue with crazy people."

So says Jonah Goldberg.

No, he's not talking about the nuts I regularly argue with. Let's face it, arguing with the lunatic left is what makes blogging fun. I always find it fascinating that so many moonbats can believe the most outrageous things, then claim that Christians believe in fairytales.

Goldberg was talking about nutball Rosie O'Donnell, who distinguished herself last week by saying, Sept. 11, 2001, was a most significant date because it was "the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel." She was, of course, implying that 9/11 was an inside job, not one done by 19 crazy Muslims.

I suppose Rosie knows nothing about blacksmithing or how pesky things like cars, airplanes, and buildings are made. If she knew anything about those things, she'd know tht fire does, indeed, melt steel. If it didn't, steel wouldn't be very useful to us.

Goldberg points out that the show O'Donnell is suffocating (she sucks up all the air in the room), The View, isn't exactly 60 Minutes. Indeed, it's hard to take any of it seriously, mashed as it is between Joy Behar's jokes, which are so old they have beards, and Elizabeth Hasselbeck's tepid attempts to bring sanity to the conversation. With that crowd, Rosie's "the British are responsible for the Iranians capturing their soldiers" seems sane.

No, Goldberg's right. We shouldn't have to argue with crazy people. The trouble is, there are lots of crazy people out there and a lot of them inhabit television. We have Rosie in the morning, CNN all day, and Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert at night. The tinfoil hat crowd whines about Rush Limbaugh, but he's only on 3 hours a day. With all the crazy lefties on TV, we can't afford not to argue with them.
