46. I didn't think I was being kind

I just accepted that you can find a liberal on TV annoying and I don't think you're automatically an evil right winger for that. Honestly, I love Rachel Maddow but I detest her accent. It's like nails on a chalkboard and my devotion to her program for me is a testament to how much I love her despite how much those hard "L" sounds she pronounces deep in her throat drive me up the wall.

I think there might be a little hypersensitivity here lately because of the invasion of trolls. I have seen absolutely disgusting racist cartoons and posts lately by trolls who have been coming out of the woodwork over this terrible Ferguson matter. To me there was nothing whatsoever in your post that registered on my troll meter, but just a fellow liberal who doesn't like the style of a liberal TV journalist I happen to like. Hey, we're individualists with different tastes and we're not in lockstep because we're liberals.
