<<If you want to combat ideas, go right ahead- but please don't bring the posts of nasty people here, because I am pretty sure it's a badge of honor for them. Your thread and I will respect your wishes, but I think you are wrong. I have spent a lot of time on the right wing theads and they are more venal, disorganized, angry and dangerous, than looking for notoriety. They are a dangerous mob. The number one lesson history taught us about Hitler was that people did not speak up or recognize the threat until it was too late. Look at how far right we have gone in the last 12 years. IN the last 3 years. Drawing an analogy to the rise of a dangerous right wing pluocracy is not imaginary today. Look at how the right wing is demagoguing Obama and right wing power is accelerating and consolidating with the ctiizens united decision. We could well end up with all three branches of government under right wing control in 12 months. Look at how one man changed the South Carolina election under tthe citizens United. Look at what the super packs are doing in florida right now. What is the sense in political discussions, if the major threat is made off limits? All we end up doing then is counting beads.
