The idea that people have to see any opinion differing from their own as "hateful" is just plain sad.
Tell that to Bush, then stick it in your pipe and smoke it!
Isn't that just another piece of paper Bush would rather forget?
OH, and he's very careful to not get caught saying things himself, but whenever there are battles of THE PEOPLE v. THE ELITES (Harriet Myers, Dubai Ports, amnesty for criminals), Bush sends out his jack booted thugs to call us names like bigots, sexists, xenophobes. Then he can stand there looking befuddled and tell us we are incapable of understanding what is good for the country.
Take a pill.
