Our theory is that the tortured writing by rightwingers happens because they are just really not very sharp. They employ lazy reading skills; then, using lazy thinking, they incorrectly digest what they read. To further complicate matters, they then lazily post their ill-conceived and illogical thoughts using sloppy writing skills.
Then, combine that with the fact that they get their news from such unreliable sources as Fox and Limbaugh. Hell, it's a recipe for disaster.
It's a form of intellectual laziness. They don't read avidly; and when they do read, they miscomprehend what they read. Then, because they lack practice in the sort of critical thinking good reading requires, they employ sloppy thinking in evaluating what they thought they read. Add to these impairments their proclivity toward dishonesty and just plain meanness, and - well, you get the drift.
Here are a few of the characters:
We're constantly in search of new rightwingers because Natchez and I have worn out the old ones.
