[Vision2020] NYTimes: The Big Hate

[Saundra Lund]

That's just plain silly - that's not what the article said at all.  Leave it
to Mr. Crabtree to be completely disingenuous in the hope that folks won't
take the time to read the op-ed piece and will instead have his inane
remarks stuck in their heads as accurate. 

 

The op-ed piece is actually quite good because it talks about <gasp>
responsibility.  Mr. Crabtree is all for responsibility except when it means
holding himself accountable.  On a much smaller scale, of course, Mr.
Crabtree is a prime example of the point of the op-ed piece:  legitimizing
wackos & fringe freaks -- be they the radical right or the radical left --
is dangerous.

 

Sadly, the currently leaderless Party of No seems to have forgotten this
factoid, which perhaps is a significant factor for why they are currently
leaderless.  Certainly, my respectable conservative friends for the most
part have bailed from the GOP in large part because of the current politics
of desperation of "embracing the fringe freaks" while abandoning the ideals
the party has stood for.   Some are still hanging in there hoping & working
for change, and for the sake of this nation, I hope they are successful and
that it happens soon.  The hate- and fear-mongering path the party has sold
out to is disgraceful and dangerous.

Okey Dokey, you and Krugman believe that people who watch FOX news,
occasionally listen to Limbaugh, Beck, or Hannity, are a recently returned
vet, a conservative or a RNC member are murderous terrorists. Whats your
plan for dealing with this calamity? Lets hear about how you and all of the
forces of truth and light plan on dealing with this unfortunate turn of
events. This ought to be a hoot!
