TODAY'S SECOND BIG NUGGET: Irrational Tribal Politics Over ...Everything

The Duggars, Duck Dynasty, And The Irrational Tribalism Of Conservatives (Amanda Marcotte) from Talking Points Memo
Kudos to whatever trickster thought it wise to poll Romney voters, asking them to rate how they feel about the Duggar family from TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting and how they feel about President Obama. The result—67 percent of Romney voters like the Duggars better than they like Obama—perfectly encapsulates one of the most troubling aspects of modern conservatism: the way that it’s ultimately about irrational tribal politics over everything else."
