Let me answer your first two questions ...Octobia, <br /><br />Let me answer your first two questions here (Your Plague year/Partisan question gets it's own post).<br /><br />1) Regarding Sullivan. Ever read a "A Dream Deferred?" What happens when you spend 3 years trying to contact a guy telling him to cool it? <br /><br />Did no one on the Left say "Trig Trutherism is wrong," No one stood up. I used to be the guy who puished for comity. But what happens when comity is not returned by the folks attcking your beliefs? <br /><br />No one on the Left stood up to Andrew Sullivan. No one. If my radical comment can get him to think twice, great. I have an email and a Blog, he hasn't contacted me that what I said was wrong. If he wants to, I'm still here. <br /><br />But remeber Octobia, there were books, plays and writings (without shame) about assasinating the former president. That opened the door to this type of rhetoric. <br /><br />Again, no one on the Left stood up and said "writing about assasinating presidents you don't like is wrong," <br /><br />Since that rhetoric was used to help gin up the Liberal base for campaigning in 06 and 08, why should the Right be excluded from using it?<br /><br />2) Something we Bloggers on the Right have to deal with are Mobys and trolls. And here is good example of who is inciting whom:<br /><br />http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/07/daily-kos-racist-nutjob-caught-in.html<br /><br />I have yet to see voices of both sides show up in Steve Benan's Blog or the Daily Kos. From the looks of it, they come to our side and play the role of Dick Tuck and expect us to smile. <br /><br />No more.JSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112671583392607007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-59241904624133278992009-08-13T07:41:50.583-07:002009-08-13T07:41:50.583-07:00This Octobia's second Comment:

If a sick fool acts on your suggestion will you just wash your hands? Hasn't the world had enough violence for you yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-69094881464919363802009-07-12T09:35:59.942-07:002009-07-12T09:35:59.942-07:00Octobia,

Here in America, voters care way too much about personal things that have nothing to do with their abilities as politicians.<br /><br />Obama's daughters and puppy? not important<br /><br />Palin spending tons of government money on herself and getting someone out of his job for disagreeing with her? Pretty important.<br /><br />Palin also said that we need more children like Trig right? Was she serious?<br /><br />http://wormed7600.wordpress.comAdamhttp://wormed7600.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-39401336198548459062009-07-09T09:58:21.403-07:002009-07-09T09:58:21.403-07:00I think this is an interesting post, as always.

Second of all, I think you have made some good points not only about Palin but about left/right relations in general. It's pretty sad, but it is true.Malcot Israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888577370141938667noreply@blogger.com
