I sometimes wonder: Does the democrat party and its myriad media mouthpieces ever contemplate that (1) whenever you liken republic partisan or tea partier disagreement or opposition to being a racist, a fascist, a terrorist, a lyncher, a nazi, Jim Crow's grandson, satan himself, an individual who needs to "go to hell," or a person who wishes to have a race of human beings hung from trees, (2) then you necessarily sweep into those vile descriptions anyone and everyone who disagrees with some or much of the leftist 20 percenter democrat party agenda -- such as many Independents?
It's always struck me as rather dumb politics. I doubt the perceived benefit of riling up the leftist base to want to vote, make noise and contribute dough comes close to outweighing the fair amount of offense that many of us Independents (the people who decide your elections) take to such romper room rhetoric.
Exhibit 1: November 2, 2010. Might we see Exhibit 2 introduced into evidence here in about 14 months? Only time will tell.
But this Independent, for one, does tend to have a very, very long memory. Or you just can just tell me to go to hell. Whatever floats your boat, leftist 20 percenters.
