Ron Davis - what is your problem? Why on earth are you turning on me instead of trying disagree with my points? Why are you acting like such a bigoted hypocrite when supposedly you are a "progressive". You are far from it. If instead of debating my points you choose to attact me, it merely shows that you lack a point.   

If you really read what I was saying, you would notice that I did not say that Franken and Coulter are "similar", but they work the same jobs and use the same tactics. A fry cook at MacDonalds and a chef at the Four Seasons are both in the restaurant business and follow similar procedures when preparing food. The difference stops there. What I was saying about Franken and Coulter is that they are entertainers who use similar styles to get their points across. Sure there are differences, and I don't think Franken would ever use the derogatory terms that Coulter uses, but he can be brutal in his own style - with the same effect.

I'm sorry if you can't understand that distinction. In your black and white world, there may be no place for "moral relativism" - but understand that is not something to ashamed of. Also understand that peoples philosophies do not fit neatly in the boxes that YOU choose to put them in. If all you are seeing is surface traits and you find a need to label people, then you are far from the liberal that you profess to be.   Use your head.
