Corrente Boldly shrill ... http://www.correntewire.com/node/12414/atom/feed 2008-07-22T19:58:21-04:00 Not Such a Subtle Resemblance? http://www.correntewire.com/not_such_a_subtle_resemblance 2008-07-22T00:24:18-04:00 2008-07-22T19:58:21-04:00 Sarah The picture below is from a NYT Magazine article extolling "Purity Balls." (See Digby's comment here for why, in and of themselves, these things are so far from needing to be extolled!)So far as I know, none of the pictured persons are from the YFZ Ranch, or Short Creek, or are named Jessop or Jeffs. But the resemblance is unmistakable.

From the invaluable Digby, at the link above:

"It's that phony Village provincialism running amok again spreading patronizing, anti-intellectual drivel that allows these elites to wallow in salt of the earth moral superiority that they do not personally possess but take credit for by writing glowing paeans to primitivism and barbarity that nobody but a few fundamentalist weirdos actually believe in."

Digby, as usual, nails it. What disturbed me
