Frank give him a break - he's reaching out to Sonia and you.
He is not reaching out to anyone except for his loyal fans who will get on their knees and worship him for his wonderful insight. Those who he is supposedly reaching out to will see him as nothing but patronising snob.
His comments are nothing but a long drawn-out way of saying '
We should pity the fool'. He says he could "
sit here and pull apart Sonia Kruger’s statement" as if nothing she said has any value. The genius pretends to have everything all figured out and he just has to explain it A-B-C like to the poor scared fool. Look at this shlt:
"The truth is, what motivates them, is fear. And fear is one thing we all share." No, it's not fear that motivates people criticising Islam. It's a combination of knowledge, common sense, and a pair of fuking eyes to see what's happening in other places around the world and what's already starting to happen here.
The fuking hide of this clown to always assume that his worldview is the correct one and that everyone with a different view is looking through a pair of fearful, bigoted, uneducated eyes, just waiting for correction by him.
That's a good summation. Karnal has a similar method here - start with a kernel of bullshit (in this case, that he knows the singular motivation of every last one of his opponents) then wrap it in so much waffle, that few can be bothered filtering the rubbish out and addressing the core.
I would not trust a leftwad to summarise the argument of a rightie, because:
Quote:Jonathan Haidt and colleagues propose that human beings have six different areas of moral concern: care, fairness, liberty, loyalty, authority, and purity. They argue that individuals and cultures differ in how they define and value these six areas, which they call “Foundations.” For instance, secular Westerners are unusual in giving very heavy weight to the first three. Within the USA, conservatives care about all six and realize that liberals are only concerned about the first three; but liberals fail to grasp conservatives’ concerns for loyalty, authority, and purity. Therefore, conservatives can predict liberals’ answers to specific questions quite accurately, but liberals do not understand conservatives–with consequences for elections and public debates.
