Not to run this into the ground, but stuff like this always interests me, being a social psychological type and all. It's the simple "I like Person X and he/she is doing stuff I approve of so he/she is clearly a member of a group of which I am a member and thinks like me" and "I don't like Person Y and he/she is doing stuff I don't approve of so he/she is clearly a member of a group that opposes the one of which I am a member and thinks like them."
My first real memory of this was in 2008 or so seeing a video of a woman going ballistic at a McDonald's drive in because she didn't get her nuggets or something like that. She's trying to break the window, she's trying to grab the person working at the window, and she's just acting like a right maniacal ass. That was entertaining, but the comment sections of the post were the most interesting part.
I read the comments on a liberal site and the woman was clearly an uneducated "fight as a first resort" redneck moron who couldn't wait to vote for McCain/Palin. I then looked it up on a conservative site and comments were about how she was an entitled welfare hag who was eager to get Obama in office so she can sit on her ass and get more handout money to buy more nuggets.
I even saw it posted on a football team forum of which I was a member and the woman was deemed to be the perfect example of a hardcore fan of our team's biggest rival. How convenient! This clip had nothing political, nothing sports-related, nothing even normal people can relate to but the woman was being a total loser bitch so she just so happened to be acting EXACTLY like everyone's rivals...wacky.
So Lorne is a dumbass loser sex offender grifter joke of a mental and emotional midget, that's pretty awful but let's not seriously fall into the trap of assuming any of that makes him a 100% proud card-carrying member of any belief systems or clubs that run opposite of our own. It's easy to have little faith in people or our voters, but to label 70+ million of 'em as being very similar to Lorne is a bit much.
TL-DR - I AM JACK OFF
