    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Mr. Hansen, <br>
      <br>
      More name calling please - give me the full treatment.<br>
      <br>
      Ahh, I'm alive and definitely smiling.<br>
      <br>
      And you quickly retort to name calling  - infantile indeed. 
      Whatever makes you feel good Dude<br>
      <br>
      So, you acknowledge that the platform was adopted by a majority of
      the members of the GOP.  Or did the platform simply appear by
      divine intervention?<br>
      <br>
      No, not interested in a dialogue on the 2012 platform. <br>
      <br>
      So, you are not the creator of the DERIVATION OF HATE "cartoon" ? 
      The full citation is important.  You are asking me for an apology
      for pointing out that you provided no citation for a cartoon that
      leaves the impression that you created the cartoon.<br>
      <br>
      In your seemingly favorite retort  GEEZZZ (embellished by
      additional ZZ.)<br>
      <br>
      Have a nice day  ;-0<br>
