Amos,

I find your comment

" I take exception to her hatefulness and her use of vicious rhetorical devices, because these are cast on the premise that genuine dialogue and a respectful exchange of ideas should be subordinated to shouting and slurring."

I have failed to see where, in the political discussions HERE you have made ANY copmments about those ( who I presume support your viewpoint) who act in the same manner, with "hatefulness and ... use of vicious rhetorical devices, because these are cast on the premise that genuine dialogue and a respectful exchange of ideas should be subordinated to shouting and slurring."




In addition, you seem to have no problem with "hatefulness" when you decide to use it.

"Seeing her barbecued would be very satisfying; I would enjoy it more than anything since Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, or the time the pigs ate my baby sister."

"So...she's a woman? Hmmm... Not very well developed, is she? Kinda bony, physically, and kinda rock-like mentally. Her smile sticks out like some cheap sci-fi creature. I am glad she found an alternative path to her first career choice as a beauty-contest winner. She'll be much more successful as an institutional "Psycho Harpy", fouling the dinner plates while she flies through the banquet hall screaming. "





It seems hypocritical to complain about her using the methods that you seem to approve of when they are used to support YOUR particular set of biases.
