It’s come to this. The totalitarian Ministry of Newspeak er, I mean Media Matters for America has so much Soros money that they actually employ a guy to watch what we are saying on Twitter, even if it’s trash talk with buddies over a football game.  I’m not joking.  Even more outrageous, all of the thousand-plus contributors here at “The Bigs” are under this scrutiny.  And whenever any of us do something that the self-appointed thought-police at MMfA deem worthy of criticizing, we are all labeled with the same moniker:  “Andrew Breitbart Blogger.”  Here’s how they came after me, for sending a Tweet about an NFL game:

Let’s start at the beginning:  First of all, I am an American man.  Being an American man, I love the NFL.  I am also from Detroit.  Being an American man from Detroit who loves the NFL, it therefore goes to reason that I hate the Chicago Bears.  Everyone with me so far? (I’m trying to make this so simple that even the joyless, agoraphobic shut-ins like those staffing MMfA will understand.)

HBO host Bill Maher attempted again this week to starkly smear conservatives.  While that’s nothing new, Maher added a small little wrinkle into this profanity laced, factually ignorant diatribe, sports.

I personally love baseball and football above all other American sports.  So I found it interesting that Maher found a way to claim football is successful due to socialism, and that baseball is failing because of capitalism.

Forgetting that the NFL and MLB are private organizations and have complete authority to place rules on their sport, Maher says the NFL does something different.  They share TV revenue among the 32 teams equally, while baseball does not.  Plus, the NFL draft’s first draft pick is the worst team from the year before.  He also cites the fact that a small town like Green Bay can go to the Super Bowl, while the Pittsburg Pirates haven’t won the World Series in a long time.

Well, two can play that game Bill.  In the “socialist” sport known as football, can Maher explain why the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions have never been to a Super Bowl, ever?  And can he explain how that evil capitalist sport known as baseball can see a team like the Marlins, with the smallest payroll in baseball defeat the Yankees, who have the highest in 2003?  In fact, from 2000-2010, there was a new World Series winner every year (with the exception of the Red Sox, who hadn’t won in 80 plus years prior).

What could be more fun than watching the humorless nags of the Left consistently walk into the business end of the same half-open door time and time again and pick up a fresh shiner? Because they can’t help but project their own congenital guilt, rage and misery on everyone else, they’re absolutely sure of two things:

1) Everything is a conspiracy directed against them and the moral high horses they rode in on, and –

2) There’s always a hidden subtext, usually either racist, sexist or homophobic, lurking beneath the Right’s every thought, word and deed.

Which is why they went prematurely bananas over the Tim Tebow/Focus on the Family ads that played yesterday during the Super Bowl pre-game show and during the game itself.  In case you missed them, here they are:
