This guy is a nut

This just goes to show how irresponsible op-ed writers can be. I guess this guy didn't see the earlier video of the crazy woman attacking Karl Rove. There are little pockets of crazy people all over the place, including what the press calls "terrorist cells". I see the desire to tie conservatives to the crazies, like the Republic of Texas people and those of that ilk, but people writing these columns need to resist the urge to engage in this type of slander, just as conservative columnists need to resist the same urge.
I am always more interested in facts than cliches, platitudes, and rhetoric. Unfortunately, the average person has to be motivated to dig for the facts since all we get are cliches, platitudes, and rhetoric from the mainstream press, which includes sound bytes from Obama.
This is why I am reading the Health Insurance Bill. As much as I listen, no one actually talks about the languange of the bill. They all seem to want to discuss absurd extremes.
"Just the facts..." as Joe Friday used to say.
