"Is Zizek's audience too busy laughing at him to hear him? I hope so, because the idea that they can hear him without recoiling from him is too dismal, and frightening, to contemplate."
This from a writer apparently too busy recoiling from him to actually read (i.e. and understand) him. Seriously, I'd go through and fisk this thing line-by-line, but EVERY SINGLE line misunderstands the point being made. It's surreal in an incredibly strange, ugly way with the ultimate conclusion (seriosuly) that Zizek is a Nazi.
*slow hand clap*
The problem is, it reads how a lot of the 'decents' seem to understand (e.g. Cohen's moronic interpretation of the notion that the "Iraq war never happened" or Wheen's squeal at Lacan about "using his penis in an equation"). This is head-slamming-against-desk stupidity here.
I hate 'Liberals' of this sort.

Not line by line (it isn't worth it) but something here Dirig... eeer I mean Rob Myers.
