    @jsquared (in Joan's defense, a bit)

    I really do see your point, I think. To be fair, Joan always is very clear that her criticism is for those Obama supporters who are awfully sexist or just plain mean.

    But that is part of my problem. On these comment boards, there are lots of us who disagree with Walsh or who want to ask her questions and she hasn't really spoken of or to us....I wish she would use us as examples of his support. I think we are more accurate reflections than taking the worst Obama supporters. In this way, I think you have a good point. Sometimes I have to remind myself that Joan isn't talking about me or the other Obama supporters who don't agree with her.

    Anyway, I keep holding out hope that Joan will cultivate dialogs based on reason and respect. Her tendency is to come back to the comment sections and say a few nice words but only really respond to real idiot statements.
