Your #50 says you didn't mean it as an ad hominem, but it is so obviously an ad hominem that your comment isn't believable. Besides, that's not the only violation of your homepage creed that is in that first post.
Maybe someday you can look back on what you've written and see the truth of what I'm telling you about it.
It appears you are an unrepentent hypocrite, Terry.
You might want to be sure you know who you're talking to first.
Let's parse what I wrote and see if it's really an ad hominem like you keep claiming.
[Racicot is] being called on the carpet by the hyper-paranoid, self-appointed guardians of the troglodyte wing of the Republican Party.
Hyper-paranoid: This group that met with Racicot is by any measure very reactionary and quite a bit more sensitive to any issue concerning homosexuals than your average Joe. The majority of people don't seem to be nearly as troubled by peaceful homosexuals living their life and minding their own business as these guys. So, hyper-paranoid, check.
self-appointed guardians: Has someone appointed them? No? Then they are self-appointed. Check.
...the troglodyte wing of the Republican Party: My dictionary gives as one of the definitions of troglodyte: A person considered to be reclusive, reactionary, out of date, or brutish. I believe this is a fairly apt description of this collection of neo-Puritans.
Perhaps if you don't like what I said about this ad hoc group of finger waggers, it's because the description is all too fitting, and it reveals what a sad bunch they are.
