John, Ditto, but what about that assertation is so over the top iyo. Mike, I'm assuming you mean this as a friendly question. My first instinct is to say if you don't get it, you don't get it. But I can do a bit better. It's an over the top classic bit in which one has a disagreement with some other group, so, rather than address the point of the disagreement, you simply call the group names. Anti-American seems to be the name of choice these days. But, child style of I'm going to hold my breath until you do what I want, the author of that post finds a bag full of things he considers objectionable. Anti-capitalist, anti-semitic. And then you can feel the writer saying some thing like, "there, that out to get them. Used all my bullets." But in the meantime, back in the argument, he has still not seriously addressed the argument. Just tried to defame it. It's yet another way the political culture of our time debases serious conversation.
