Giuliani, and Salon
Let's see...
Giuliani is a former U.S. Attorney... (that's the new idenitity politics group of choice now, right?)
He favors a woman's right to privacy in abortion law...
He is a lifelong New Yorker, who did much to make the city what it is now, in terms of stable finances and reduced crime...
He is something more than a mere moderate on gay rights...
He's been humorous and self-effacing on SNL...
And so the reason that he comes in for special, unusual, extreme hatred and hate-speech at Salon is -- what? The fact that he could be President? Or is this all not really any unusual level of hate-speech for the Salonistas? Is it their standard way of addressing Republicans? Should we understand that Republicans are to Salonistas as blacks are to Klansmen and Jews are to the Nazis (and now, Hamas...)?
