It's not about agreement, it's about discussion. Attacking people ad hominem (i.e. calling people stupid/idiots) makes you unapproachable. In other words, why would I have a converation with you about politics if you are unwilling to acknowledge that this guy represents the ideas and opinions a large portion of the political opposition? He articulates the differences in a way I and millions of others understand, can you? I say again, It's not about agreement, it's about discussion. You simply fail to acknowledge the balance he provides, and that excludes you from the bigger conversation. Good luck! abg Ever hear of Rush Derangement Syndrome?

I need to listen to his inanity every day to reconfirm and reconfirm his stupidity? Isn't it enough that I've listened before, got a reasonable sample, and have decided he's a complete douche? How?
