Just read THIS. Why, it sure is funny — a skit characterizing Mitt Romney’s supporters as people who’d commit mass killings. But when you read the stuff on the link, it isn’t Romney’s supporters or Republicans who seem a bit unhinged…
Oh, we’re sure we’ll get comments defending it but…sorry. It’s as unwanted, unnecessary and poisonous when it comes from the left as well from the right. A little less demonization on both sides in Campaign 2008 would do the political world a whole lot of good.
Yours truly is not a Romney supporter or a Republican, so spare us the characterizations in comments. But we do have a question:
Is there something in the water talk show hosts are drinking this week? Or smoking?
You have snarling conservative talkers turning their programs into virtual 3 hour Romney For President commercials and demonizing McCain nonstop, and you have this “satire” on a leading liberal talk show host’s show that wouldn’t have made it past the initial idea conference on Saturday Night Live during the frequently lame show’s lamest week.
