I don't take to throwing drinks in peoples faces, Bob, but otherwise I'm
with you. Unlike you, I've been on this list a long time and these
things occur once in a while and I've never been ticked off enough to
reply. This time, however, it got to me and I've been stewing about it
all morning wondering if I was going to do a useless thing and reply.
You beat me to it.
Walt's comments about the Fox network didn't particularly set me off but
Earl Dunbar's follow-on was a kick in the pants and John Hermanson (as
usual) couldn't help joining in to show his anti-conservative colors.
It has become quite popular amongst the Democrats (egged on by Howard
Dean) to equate being conservative and Republican with being stupid and
illiterate. I rarely watch the Fox network but I am a McCain Republican
and I resent the implications that I am a moron or that someone thinks
it's OK to be "ROTFLMAO!!!!" after I have been personally insulted.
I really believe apologies are in order.
