And I think it is beyond Cosmic and me why you would call an accused rapist the equivalent of a serial killer, which is, if you WILL recall, the way this whole thing started. Even if Bill Clinton is giving a speech in your area I don't see logically how it follows that that should annoy you to the point where you have to call him names that do not apply. Would it bother you less if he was speaking in Portland? And if so, why? Is it his location that bothers you? This seems to be what you are saying. Logically I would have thought that the accused rapist would be offensive no matter where he was speaking. I would not have thought proximity to a speaking engagement would be relevant.

This has been said, but I'll go ahead and have you read slowly. Compare him to a rapist if you must, for whatever good it will do you. He hasn't had a conviction of much of anything (maybe he should have), but to compare him to a convicted and executed serial-killer is valid why exactly? Never mind, save the explanation.

Perhaps I'll join you in mindless comparisons:

Reagan is Idi Amin (a brain problem)
Lincoln is Castro (beards)
Dubya is Koresh(believed in God while in Texas)

Hey, this is fun (and mindless).
