This guy’s right about one thing: stupidity explains more of the world’s problems than evil; specifically the stupidity of MSM idiots like himself and the stupidity of the public for trusting him. Keep chopping away Luke, here’s to the day when we can all shout “Timber!!”

If evil is an antiquated notion that evolution (unproven theory) has helped us jettison, on what basis did this clown spend 4-8 years decrying the Bush Administration? If right and wrong do not exist, why did he spend all that time complaining about the wrongness of the Bush Administration?
And MSNBC wonders why their ratings are floating close to bottom.
Has Lawrence ever taken a class in criminology? There’s a whole portion of that discipline that explores elite deviancy, including (gasp!) criminal conspiracies.
And while we’re talking about stupidity, why doesn’t Lawrence tell his pal Chris Hayes to buy a pair of adult glasses.

I’m glad I can’t get MSNBC on cable anymore. Ditto for Fox News.

Neither Fox nor MSNBC or news channels. If I presented reports like the ones that appear on those two channels to my managing editor, she’d replace me…and justifiably so.
They just don’t know the difference between reporting and opining. They’ve done this crap for so long that the two have merged in their minds. Wager Lawrence if he can get through a segment, present a story, and not shoot his loud mouth off about it, providing a useless opinion no one ever asked for. You’d walk away from that bet with money in your pocket.
O’Riley is a little better. But even he feels it necessary to color everything with his “talking points memos.” His constant interruption of guests during “interviews” is absolutely insufferable.

So Ol’ Twisty Joe is saying that, back in the day, evil explained a lot about the the world, but, since we’ve evolved, now it’s STUPIDITY that’s running the show? That today we’re too stupid to have effective conspiracies? Everything out of this guy’s mouth is deceptive.

As Paul previously mentioned, this man spent a sizable portion of his career denouncing the Bush administration. Yet, as G.K. Chesterton correctly observed, all denunciation implies a moral doctrine. By rejecting the reality of evil, the man is undercutting his own denunciations. As Ravi Zacharias rightly declared, without fact as a referent, normative claims become a matter of preference. However, I think most rational people would denounce the atrocities perpetrated under the Bush administration on the grounds that it did not conform to their preferences. No, at the end of the day, they must acknowledge evil as a fact. By denying the reality of evil, this ignoramus has reduced all his previous denunciations to mere preferential objections, which are no more compelling than the subjective tastes according to which one makes a selection from a restaurant menu. Try telling a rape victim that you objected to what her assailant did on the grounds that you don’t prefer coerced intercourse. Hardly compelling.
Moreover, he implies that evil cannot offer explanatory unity concerning the misdeeds of men. Then, he ascribes explanatory unity to stupidity, which explains even less than evil. The concept of crime presupposes a certain degree on premeditation and planning. If all crimes were inspired by simple stupidity, then every criminal would be caught. Yet, as history has brutally demonstrated in the past, sometimes the bad guys get away. Stupidity did not engineer the Holocaust and stupidity did not allow several of the Nazis responsible to evade justice.
This is why the liberal outlook is fundamentally flawed. It is premised upon relativism, which is self-refuting. It is not a logically sustainable outlook and is reason enough to dismiss almost every opinion that liberals might offer

Ooops. Typo! Let me correct one of my previous statements.
I do NOT think that would denounce the atrocities perpetrated under the Bush administration on the grounds that they did not conform to their preferences.
Hope I cleared that up. Everyone makes mistakes. I just post mine.

It looks like playing dumb and willful ignorance to me. These people think they are smarter than the rest of us, and that what their doing is for good (but it is for them only) and that makes it all right to keep their true plans secret.
