Here is another example of the paranoia that is coming so often from the political right these days.  This is a great illustration of how we can assign meaning to things that seems to resonate on a visceral level, and yet we can miss the mark completely.

[disclaimer: I realize political paranoia is not the exclusive domain of the right.  But with a Democratic president, it just appears to be the right's particular forte at this time]

[another disclaimer: I do not endorse every single thing about the clip below.  But I wholeheartedly endorse its general point about the paranoia]

[final disclaimer: comment if you wish, but I will only post comments that are about this clip.  I will not post comments that simply want to show how the other side is just as absurd.  Until each side takes responsibility for its own absurdity, there can be no progress.]
