Anyone else find this amusing?...
Ethicsdaily.com wants us to understand the phenomenon of scapegoating. How do we know if someone is scapegoating? Well, "They readily accuse others of being liars, liberals, socialists, environmentalists and Nazis, all enemies of their America." That's what they do. So what the scapegoaters do is call people names and blame our problems on them.
Ethicsdaily.com then goes on to call people names and blame groups for our problems:
Ethicsdaily.com calls out "Glenn Beck, Congressman Joe Wilson, the Birthers, the global warming deniers, the anti-reformers of health care and the anti-tax protesters..." as scapegoaters.
Amazing how with that nimble slight of hand we now know who is really to blame. When you use the technique that you decry you run the risk of hypocrisy. One last thing, the title of their article is "Unhinged society..." I'm glad that Ethicsdaily.com knows who is really to blame.
Recommendation to EthicsDaily.com: Read Rene Girard.
