Monica Showalter wrote an article that seems to serve more than one purpose.
The article came under the
title: “Georgia's Senate candidates campaign with Farrakhan's man in Atlanta,”
and was published on December 20, 2020 in the American Thinker.
Showalter's first paragraph is
a single sentence that goes like this: “When people tell you who they are,
believe them.” So, you go through the article to see who she’s talking about
that she wants you to believe. You find not just one, but two people. They are
Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, both of whom are running to fill the State of
Georgia's vacant seats in the Federal Senate.
So, you have these two
gentlemen who, in her words, are talking about themselves. And so, the question
that comes to mind is this: What does Monica Showalter say they are saying
about themselves? In fact, she answered that question as follows: “[They] claim
to be Democrat Party 'moderates.'” Okay, we take Showalter's earlier directive
seriously, and believe the two men saying that they are moderates. But because
we do this, Showalter is forcing us to believe that she too is telling the
truth.
Great! We're
having such a harmonious time with everyone agreeing with everyone else, is it
time to throw a party and celebrate? No, not yet because we seem to have hit a
snag. A snag, you say? What kind of a snag? It is that Monica Showalter is
talking about herself throughout the article. But why is that a snag? It's a
long story but it has to do with the Zeno paradox. Zeno paradox? What the hell
are you talking about?
Do you know about
the fellow that says he is a liar? I heard of him. Well, if you believe he
lied, then it must be that you believe he told the truth about having told a
lie … which is absurd because he cannot be telling both the truth and a lie at
the same time. But if you do not believe he lied, then it must be that you
believe he told a lie about having told the truth … which is also absurd because
he cannot be telling both a lie and the truth at the same time. Okay, okay, I
get the paradox. But what has that got to do with Monica Showalter?
It has a great
deal to do with her because she now seems to be saying she is a liar, just like
the fellow in the Zeno example. And she causes us to wonder if we should
believe her or not. But whatever we believe, we hit an absurdity, which is the
snag I told you about earlier. Come now, you're going over my head. Explain
this to me in plain English because I'm getting confused.
As you wish. Here
is the thing. Monica Showalter says that Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are bad
people because they are campaigning with a guy named Marion who is Louis
Farrakhan's man in Atlanta. And she says that Louis Farrakhan is bad because he
says bad things about other people. These people happen to be Jewish but that's
beside the point because what matters is that Farrakhan is badmouthing people.
So then, do we
take it that in her philosophy of life, badmouthing people is considered to be
a bad thing? That's exactly what it means. Well, you said that she is talking
about herself excessively in the article. What is she saying? She says she is
disgusted, and she finds it repugnant that Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff will
participate in a forum with Derrick Johnson who is CEO of the NAACP and Dr.
David A. Marion who, as chairman of the Howard University's National
Pan-Hellenic Council of Presidents, initiated Louis Farrakhan, into his
fraternity; Farrakhan being the bad guy that's badmouthing people.
Does that mean she
badmouthed Derrick Johnson and Dr. David Marion, both of whom happen to be
Black and non-Jewish? That's exactly what it means. But did she not say she was
disgusted, and she finds it repugnant that some people are badmouthing other
people? Yes, she did. Well then, does that not mean she is saying she lied
about her being believable? That's exactly what it means. Yes, of course. Now I
see how the Zeno paradox factors into the equation. But is there not another
explanation that might solve the paradox instead of accusing her of being
paradoxical?
The only other possibility is to think that Monica Showalter is a mental case. What? Are you saying she might be a psycho? That's exactly what I'm saying. Well then tell me this: You've been referring to David Marion as a Doctor. Is he not the one that's interested in mental health issues? Yes, he is. Well then, do you think he might want to help her with some good advice? If asked, he probably will, but I would not advise it. Why not? Because she might get cured. You're against that? You see, my friend, she is such an embarrassment to her kind the way she is, I want her to remain that way because she reflects the true nature of her kinfolks, and that's a good thing for the survival of the human species. What's needed is that everyone on Earth be aware of what these people are like so as to keep humanity in a constant state of safety and security.
