This Prove’s It! Obama Is After The Right!

By

After the spat Napolitano got for the memo on far-right extremism to the violent degree, the FBI is adding a domestic terrorist to its most-wanted list.  

So, is it an abortion clinic bomber?  A anti-gay rights supporter?  Ron White?  One could only hope it’s Ron White.

But nope.  It’s an animal rights activist

Good thing Rush flipped out over this.

    • Salience bias: We are hardwired to filter sensory information based on the saliency of the stimuli in the following order:
    • loud sounds
    • bright lights
    • motion
    • spatial position

    This means people are biased toward salient information even if salient cues contain less information.

    • Because I hate this kind of Psych 101-ization of politics.

      p>But, to keep with your, ahem, framing of this issue, one hopes that the non-crazy conservatives grow a bit more salient and a bit less silent.

      • I’m wondering whether there’s any polling on such matters yet.
