Sorry if you take offense, pdq, but I sincerely believe that the lion's share of rudeness and mean-spiritedness is coming from the right, and has been doing so for quite a while.

The current nasty and salacious characterization of Obama as a perverted child-molester is just one example.

Of course I'm pissed off! How can people get away with this crap??!?!?

As for the mis-distribution of wealth, maybe the 98-to-ratio is less than accurate. Maybe it's more like 95-to-5. Either way, I know which end of the stick most of us are holding, dispite the fact that so many citizens are in denial about it.
