    @ porco

    The headline is an indicator of just how infantile leftist society has become.

    Mommy, he's sayin' ugly things!

    Now that's just plain hurtful.

    Yes, "infantile". Like shouting out "Kill him!" at the Palin gathering.

    Palin sure is firing up the crowds, I'll say. I haven't seen such enthusiasm since Kristallnacht....

    Cheers,
