You’ve Used Moderate In A Sentence. Now Try Using It Appropriately

I like this Daily Show segment because it gets at a media tendency that’s really been getting on my nerves. This thing where anyone on the Republican side who isn’t completely out of his fucking mind is a moderate. No. Stop. Being less insane than the most insane option does not make you not insane. Packaging doesn’t determine your moderateness. Your policies and positions do. Quit trying to make people like Nikki Haley into something they aren’t and in her case, something she says herself that she doesn’t even want to be. It’s extremely dangerous. You should all know this by now.
