Chait and Tanden are no more amendable to socialism than Cernovich or Alex Jones.

I'd say "bend the knee" rhetoric is likely to turn off many more people than just the Chait/Tanden set.

Who says you're supposed to agree with me? Point is "bend the knee" likely to offend most who want egalitarian politics, not just me.

Quote appeared not just in magazine but on Chapo! I quoted at length & provided link to segment it appeared on.

He didn't even transcribe the quote he read it in a different article.

Nope -- I did my own transcription (because Maclean's article was slightly off).
