"There is this disturbing quality of intimidation on the right now."

Wuss.

If you don't like the "quality" of response you are receiving from the targets of your decidedly un-funny ripostes, Mr. Lewis, I suggest you refrain from taking the opening shot(s).

The days of the "rednecks" and "rubes" just sitting there, mouths agape, while the snotty, effete, smug phuks on the East Coast insult them is long, long past. The people in fly-over country have found their voice and they are using it to express their disgust and offense when "professors" deign to commentate on them and their society.

If you're so smart, why haven't you figured that out until now, Mr. Lewis?

If you want to write smart-ass columns long on "witty" insults and short on fair comment, don't expect polite responses in return from those you attack. Don't you just love free speech, Mr. Lewis?

I do.

I suggest you send your comments directly to Lewis.

You should send him those comments. They cut right to the meat of the matter.
