19. Dear BT. The fact that I loathe the pudits he speaks of does not require me to become a lout.

And you are being dishonest. Nowhere did I stand up for those writers in any way. That is you manufacturing content that is not there in my post. Others can read. Can you? Show me this defense of those jerks?
No, the thing is that the pundits being idiots does not offer anyone excuses for using hurtful, crude, name calling based on medical conditions that cause suffering. Milbank being an ahole does not mean you get to call him rude names.
You know this is nasty verbiage. But you endorse it because the targets are people you don't care for. Do you use that same slippery standard for racial slurs, or anti gay slurs?
The fact that you have to make specious claims about my post to defend this verbiage shows that you have no rational, reality based reason to support such language. What a rude, nasty thing to do.
I can speak for myself, and I said what I said. You, of course, did not respond to a bit of what I said, instead you made up some stuff and ascribed it to me and made a stink about your own rewrite,sort of like what ABC did with that email about Libya. Same tactic.
