The GOP's cheerful viciousness

Yet again, the GOP launches brutal personality and cultural attacks on the Democratic candidate. Yet again, Democrats seem determined to allow it to do so.

    @ Bungo Pony

    Judging by Different Yardsticks

    On the Left and in the Center, one wins an argument by introducing the most salient points and supporting those points with evidence. On the Right, one wins an argument by calling the opponent the most vile names and generally screaming louder.

    LoL. You certainly haven't found that here. In fact I'm copying commenters own brutal personality and cultural attacks as I go along, and will post theem shortly. I think. So far I'm still on the first page and have four quotes. Stand by for a lot more.
