In some ways, it is probably difficult to separate ideology from the action, though I suspect the action predominates your response. Let's take the other end of the spectrum and imagine that a story came out tomorrow that Rachel Maddow's book, Drift, had actually been written by someone else, and she just swept in, bought the rights and put her name on the cover as author. Would you find it intellectually disgusting? It would seem likely.Interbane wrote:I see this as intellectually disgusting, but it could be due to the fact that I disagree with the ideas.
I'd also guess that the outrage on the far right would be more than that which we're seeing towards Agenda 21. In fairness, some of that might be because, whatever conservatives think of Rachel Maddow, they accept that she has a PhD and is a Rhodes Scholar, whereas liberals probably aren't terribly shocked by the story about Mr. Beck and Harriet Parke's novel.
