  Excuse me, patteb

  With that monumental chip on your shoulder and the visceral anger, I am not sure why you are here posting at this site. Not that it isn't a free country and all, but I have been reading the site for at least as long as Glenn Greenwald has been posting, so, somehow I missed those 3 other posts of yours in the last year.

  Did anything I wrote justify your concluding that I think my friends and relatives are dumber than I? Perhaps you are internalizing again. I think their opinions are wrong, as are yours. But I don't resort to scathing invective to point that out.

  Your posts document clearly what has happened to the political dialogue in this country. To understand that, look no further back in history than the Reagan Administration and the demise of the Fairness Doctrine which enabled the rise and dominance of the free speech of conservative talk radio, which feeds hate and intolerance in great doses to its listeners, who mostly happen to be Republicans. Thus, we have a Republican party campaigning with lies, hate, and innuendo as their preferred weapons of choice. Turning the word "liberal" into a dirty word. Have you heard that McCain ad in which the word liberal is breathily spoken so as to invoke EVIL?

  Please, get some help. Someone filled with this much anger needs it. Hope I got the name right this time. Sorry about the misspelling before.
