I understand your disgust, in principle. However, you are making WAY WAY more of the comment than what was intended. NO ONE IS HAPPY AN AMERICAN OF ANY STRIPE WAS SENT ANTHRAX!!!!! This anthrax thing has effected all of us. You are being unfair to act like only liberals were targets. It is not like any of them open their own mail anyway.
I get that you don't like conservatives. We are not a bunch of felons. (In fact, if you check the prisons I bet you'd find most felons are liberals.)
I suspect that Austim is secretly delighted at the opportunity to express disgust at conservatives.
The guy made the comment 'good targets.' Now far be it for me to defend liberals, but if John Ashcroft and Bob Barr were sent these letters, and someone said 'good targets,' most people here would take offense, and rightly so. I don't know if the guy was happy that anyone was sent anthrax, but it was a comment that was in very poor taste, to say the least...
