Juan Cole Is A Pathetic Fraud Who Copes With His Crushing Failures By Wallowing In Delusions Of Self-Importance
We really thought that Cole could plumb depths no lower than his "I'm not wrong I'm just deploying the technique of the hermeneutical circle" excuse for his asinine "jihad is obviously peaceful" claims. Admittedly his condescending and self-caricaturing attempts to explain Catholic dogma to the Pope was a close second because he was making amateurish mistakes while trying to sound sophisticated - still, it was only second.
But we were wrong:
The link goes to a hysterical Martin Kramer post that you should absolutely amuse yourself by reading. Admittedly, making fun of Cole is like smacking around a particularly slow-moving cow. Except you don't feel any guilt afterwards. Oh, and also except he deserves it because he's a total fraud (via: Solomonia).
UPDATE: We just read that Martin Kramer post again. Seriously. Hysterical:
Commander of the Air Force (dryly): Don't say can't. We haven't tried.
Seriously, go now.
