The dogmatic propagandist
“The dogmatic propagandist must therefore be consistently dogmatic. All his statements are made without qualification. There are no grays in his picture of the world; everything is either diabolically black or celestially white... He must never admit that he might be wrong or that people with a different point of view might be even partially right. Opponents should not be argued with; they should be attacked, shouted down…”

-- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited

2. That's a very eerie description of many of the rights ideologues
Particularly Coulter or Prager or Limbaugh. And also, that is why I find it troubling when some suggest we adopt similar tactics.
