Bit of Background first: I live in a small town which is 70% liberal and about 15% further left of that. We are as outnumbered as Custer at Little Big Horn. The town paper publishes a column from three local contributors from the right side, including my periodic offerings. One day I am at the local sandwich place, which I frequent on a regular basis. The owner then tells me:
A few weeks ago you had a column in the paper that caused a bit of a ruckus. It seems a guy by himself was reading the column when he went "ape-sh**", started cursing, yelling at you, waving his arms. I was getting ready to call the police when he threw the paper on the floor and stormed out.
LOL. I love it when we get through to them!
Back when W was first running, one contributor to the local rag was a fast food owner. He wrote an outrageously horrible hit piece on W that angered many of his customers so we not only expressed our displeasure with letters to the editor but vowed to never buy another burger from him. This house hasn't seen one of his burgers in 12 years and I laugh every time I pass one of his now closed joints.
Another funny is the vocal demwit down the road who took down his huge Obama signs and bumper stickers 3 years ago. Maybe that's one who has seen the writing on the wall.
