re: #277 Charles

I have no clue what has happened to the right-wing blogosphere, or why anyone has turned on you.

I will admit to a period of utter bewilderment for a couple of months as to what was going on. It took me some reading, some thought, some reflection about what I think is important, to come to the conclusion that the “right-wing” blogosphere and indeed, the GOP, was undergoing a complete meltdown.

For some of us, this conclusion was not easily made. There was the feeling that one was being somehow disloyal. Well - perhaps we are being “disloyal” to the GOP, but if loyalty to the GOP means we must leave our good sense and our values at the door, then so be it, as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t know how the thread turned to Ayers - I came in late, did not go through the whole thing; just responded to something that caught my eye.

I agree 100%. It scares me to no end that the wacko right wing fringe groups are beginning to become mainstream on the right side of the aisle. The optimist in me believes that eventually people like Charles will make a difference and these elements will be cast into outer darkness where they belong. The pessimist in me really thinks that there are more of them then there are of Charles and we’re screwed.
