Your reading comprehension skills could use a little work, too

I never labelled "ALL Republicans" any which way. I simply made the factual observation that it was written by a Republican. Further, I was very clear in blaming it on an individual, for example by writing "whoever wrote it should be ashamed of himself" and "this lying sack of [excrement]", singular.

If you're feeling a little bit of collective guilt, go ahead and project "all Republicans" on to what I wrote. That'd be a healthy attitude to take.

Don't blame me for the widely-understood term "winger". I've noticed that Conservatives and Republicans understand what it means without any explanation. You did, didn't you? The word's already passed into common usage, and I wouldn't be surprised if the editors at Merriam-Webster include it in an upcoming dictionary. It's a useful neologism.

Another useful neologism is "wingnut". I'll bet you know what that one means too, don't you? Have you been watching your party self-destruct with hatred of John McCain? A bit of self-examination would be a good thing for Republicans right now. You're standing at the precipice, and if y'all decide to jump over the edge, you won't be able to blame it on me or anyone else.

I hope you're not really a teacher, Cynthia. 'Fess up, you're an intern working for the RNC roving the Net trying to do some damage control, aren't you?
