I found it amazing that he had no problem buying into the idea that the commentary was "sick & vile", and that he dutifully repeated the canard about the left being filled with hate. It was as though the last 12 years of right wing blogs, Matt Drudge, Rush Gasbag, O'Reilly never happened, and that they and their ilk have not spilled gallons of vitriol into the public discourse. Quoting the Asian Ann Coulter is especially ironic, since the next time she allows that her ideological opponents have a reasoned though different view of public policy will be the first time.
And why is there NO mention of the ongoing hateful drivel that flows from the yaps of Hannity, Coulter and the rest? Writing for an mainstream "liberal" paper must be killing him slowly. While we can agree that wishing the VP dead is a bit much, how many similar offhand remarks are overlooked when they are spewed by the right wing noise chamber about any & all liberal politicians, and their ultimate bete-noir, Bill Clinton?
