re: #240 Honorary Yooper

Very true. As it happened for the past eight years as well. (I’m not letting anyone get away unscathed here.) There was a ton of wingnut crap about Clinton, a ton of moonbat shit about Bush, and another ton of wingnut crap again here about Obama. All had or have legitimate criticisms that are being swallowed up by the nonsense.

Civil political discourse has been dead for a very long time if it even existed as more than a figment of the imagination in the first place.

the stuff going on now is different and uglier. It’s bled into the mainstream and is being pushed by elected GOP officials and mainstream right pundits. Like ten congressmen co-sponsering a nirther bill to pander to the base. Like elected officials running away from the camera rather than state that they believe Obama is a citizen. It’s like the GOP just gave up on all the reasonable people on the right and decided that allcrazy allthetime was their new platform.
