this or some variation is not who he is.

It's a difficult pill for me to swallow, but I have to say that if the choice is to

(a) demean the right as being dumb, stupid, ignorant worthless pieces of reich-wing garbage, or
(b) attempt to find some common ground, to view them as partially human, and they viewing us as such,

the best way to move a higher percentage of them to our side is (b) vs. (a).

But let's face it, it takes time, and it's not nearly as much fun!
