how utterly void of anything like evidence, back up, logic or facts this piece has. The only thing this piece has is rhetoric. It appears the author feels that he alone can speak for an entire group of Americans, independents, without giving the slightest bit of evidence that anything he says about them is correct. What's truly amazing is that Salon would pay someone to write something this amateurish. A fifth grader could write an article in which they smear an opponent using nothing but overheated rhetoric. It's really easy to demonize someone when the only proof you have that what you are saying is accurate is your own rhetoric. This is the sort of article worthy of a high school commentary piece and yet it finds its way into a for profit entity. I congratulate the powers that be at Salon for paying someone to do the work that a high schooler would just as willingly do for free.
