(492 posts)And I agree with you: the son of a bitch took a picture of an old woman who was clearly, obviously in distress -- and used the photo to mock her and illustrate why he -- a moist pile of dung -- is sooooo angry he could just spit.
However, I know Republicans who would have reacted exactly the way I would have, or you would have, or any of the rest of us in this thread would have. I don't want to paint all Republicans with the same brush. This heartless mofo is a Randite, a lover of Paul Ryan, a greedy, callow, heartless pig. (Yes, he is. And I actually felt good writing that about him.) But my Republican friends are not like him at all. Sure, they are benighted followers of a lame philosophy. But they are actually nice, generous people.
It's damned hard not to stereotype, but it's really worth the effort.
