    a glimpse of the neverending battle...

    there are those who think that once the bushites are removed, that somehow the fever will break and this nation will return to an embrace of reason instead of lunacy, science instead of no-knowthinghood, tolerance instead of tribes.

    glenn reminds us here that the right wing hatemongers are always going to be here. indeed, they'd prefer a democrat in the white house, since it would give more credence to whatever conspiracy theory they have working on why their lives aren't working out.

    that's the true wingers, not the intellectually dishonest carny barkers who merely play that crowd for the willing saps they are. what is absolutely beyond belief is how any of these folks get the slightest toehold into what passes for the mainstream dialogue. and that's where the truly criminal aiding and abetting from the media comes in.

    keep fighting the fight, glenn. it's important.
