Both of us tend to get these kind of taunting posts. Goes with the turf. Juvenile behavior and all that. But I'm more curious about the Washington Post. That's dated as a February 7th item from the Post. From which I infer it's an op ed piece schedule for Sunday's Washington Post. Fair enough if a bit screwy. But you would expect it to be balanced with some sort of similar nonsense about some rather obvious caricature of right wingers. Of course "condescending" is hardly the adjective to pops to mind when reaching for something to describe the Dems congressional behavior right now. So the piece is just way off base.

So while we all COULD post articles (stupid ones, at that) calling the other side names, I really don't see much point in it, unless you are lonely, and need group bonding to make you feel better. I've been of the same thought. But seeing how the Republicans have been successfully using insults as a tool to stop progress and belittle Democrats and their ideas, I've been reconsidering. It may be time to dump on them regularly several times a day by naming names and using "talking points" to point out stupidity at every turn. I think those are the only messages that many people understand, so the Democrats should "talk" loudly to them, to the media, and call out the right wing pundits for what they are.
