Hate so blinding, the left can't see straight. The last person they hated this bad, was Reagan. But I recall a response from Ayn Rand when confronted in an interview by the fact that she was among the mosty hated people in the world. She responded that in the world as it exists today, I take that as a profound compliment. We can judge ourselves effectively by looking at the reactions from those for which we have no repsect. If they agreed with us or liked us, we must be doing something wrong.

Why don't ya just let Geoff know what you think his opinion.

Spitting, spluttering blind hatred with an emotional rationale. Come to think of it, that's a pretty good description of the left. It's so good to see this guy developing ulcers!

[Drango]

Good thing NPR teamed up with Slate to co-produce its new show. Now we can have at least these two groups of Liberals in one bunch.

Does anyone remember the spider-character from "the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" who had been reincarnated many times, only to be killed by the same man over and over? The man walks into the spider's cave and beholds a shrine of Hatred (of him).

This reminds me of that.

"...And it pains me, it grieves me, it WOUNDS me..."

...better put some ice on that....

[tbpiper]

this puts me ....in the "whacko fringe."

I'd have to say his self-assessment is right on the mark.

[isthisnickcool]

A Christian hater I'd bet....

I'm thrilled to see the Advocates for the Left in the media go embrace the fringes of extremism, simply because that's a sure fire way to **lose** the popularity contests that give Power to those who run Republics and Democracies.

Call me when the "Intelligensia" figures out that they need to **appear** moderate. Until then, it's just Dukakis in a tank all over again.

"...I see a lying, psychopathic narcissist."

Just what I used to see whenever Bill C. was on.

[Monty22]

What unbelievable projection. Wow!

[witnesstothefall]

This guy would have had an aneurism during WWII, when the killing of Japs was the popular national pastime.

[PointRight]

I hope he's got some wet-naps to wipe all that spittle off his face.

Y'know, we aren't Clinton fans here (duh), but I don't think I've ever read such vitriolic hatred of this level ever written about him here; certainly not on Slate ;) Am I mistaken?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Damn - you got enemies.

[Brett66]

Interesting, he's led to hatred because he doesn't like someone that advocates killing terrorists. Traitor.

[SoKatt]

When I look at Bill Clinton, I don't see a patriot. I see a lying, psychopathic narcissist.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

"let's put it this way: they are no longer a problem to the United States and our friends and allies." The barely-suppressed, no not really suppressed at all, look of GLEE at the thought of the death America has inflicted upon it's enemies.">>

Boo effin' hoo. We're talking about people who want to kill my children. Yours, too, buster.

[SunStar]

HATE IS NOT A FAMILY VALUE, RIGHT?

[Steely Tom]

I think this article is essentially a mirror-image of a posting I read here on FreeRepublic back during the Clinton years; say in 1999 or 2000. It may have been in the days immediately following the Elian Gonzales incident. I wish I could remember enough about it to find it in the archives. As I recall, the writer made some remark to the effect that "I know that my feelings may put me in the wacko fringe, but so be it."

(steely)

When I look at George W. Bush, I don't see a patriot. I see a lying, psychopathic narcissist. And it pains me, it grieves me, it WOUNDS me to realize that this puts me not only in the minority… but in the "whacko fringe."

Well, at least he got that right...

[1rudeboy]

Whew. I thought this was an actual editorial by Slate, and not a vanity-post by someone on Slate's discussion-board. I can ignore it now.

[LdSentinal]

This is the typical mindset of a Howard Dean supporter.
