  For those who don't "GET" why we wrote to complain

  We're complaining because CP is part of what's wrong in our country now. She's an apologist for the right-wing, yet claims to be a liberal. She constantly trashes gay people, particularly gay men, and yet she's a lesbian. THAT gets her far too much airtime, just like it does for Andrew Sullivan. So, the so-called left is constantly being undercut by fools like CP, and the causes even most of her fans seem to be for are being undercut by her. She gets airtime because the media, and apparently Salon, who many of us pay to read, think she's just precious, or whatever mindless accolade they want to assign.

  She's not a contrarian, whatever that's really supposed to mean, she's just a professional offensivist. She only exists to offend, not to enlighten, she does not make one think, she just offends with her malevolent tripe, she does not have original thoughts, she just looks for a view and spouts whatever the opposite of it is, often while saying she's part of that view!

  Having your position damaged over and over by people like CP, the media that's still full of "he said/she said" equivalencies for every position, and a pundit class that is largely made up of fools is a reason to be angry, because that's one of the main reasons we're in the place we're in today.

  Like it's been said many times before, if you're not angry, you're not paying attention. And that's putting it overly nice.
