Wingnuts Gone Wild: "Psychiatrist" says liberals are mentally ill
WingNutDaily.com is promoting a book by an alleged psychiatrist, Dr. Lyle Rossiter, titled "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness". He compares liberals to spoiled, angry children who rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.
Rossiter also says the kind of liberalism being displayed by both Barack Obama and his Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton can only be understood as a psychological disorder:
"The roots of liberalism - and its associated madness - can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."
I guess the good doctor implies that liberals are the ones who defend "imaginary victims" such as embryonic stem cells, American families, pregnant teenagers, gun owners, wealthy taxpayers and big corporations from "imaginary villains" like Planned Parenthood, homosexuals, godless atheists, secular humanism, the mainstream media, Hollywood producers, unionized workers, welfare queens, the National Education Association and Sarah Brady.
