"Reality: can any of us be objective enough to say that someone else is out of touch with it?"
Yes.
If I told you that truth was relative, and that gravity did not exist because I said it doesn't, you could then say that I was out of touch.
Alternately, the folks over at DemUn are out of touch with reality as they see conspiracies under every rock, specifically aimed at THEM.
They cannot believe the election was honest, why do you ask?
Because, they say, Kerry didn't win -THAT is proof in their minds that the election was 'stolen'!
They cannot fathom that people would reject their views.
Yes, one CAN say objectively whether someone is out of touch.
