Ladies and Gentlemen: The "Regressive Left"

[Ford_Prefect]

38. Duty, obligation, right, desire, need, compulsion: isn't that a matter of taste as much as truth?

I mean if you feel compelled to answer an outright falsehood as opposed to a merely objectionable opinion who am I to tell you no?

However when you join in name calling the left as a whole I feel moved to disagree beyond mere rebuttal to recall the TOS on this very point.

Name calling is inappropriate and I find often somewhat inaccurate. In one fell swoop you associate the entire left as engaged in practices I feel certain most would deny as extreme. If you have something specific to say why not use that accuracy to make your point? Why invite argument off focus and go for the easy smear?

At this point in an already very long year when mud has been slung enough to dredge another Erie Canal I for one am tired of the smearing of the left in general.

I don't question your desire for the truth nor doubt your intention to make things clearly understood.

I would however respectfully prefer you did it with a more precise if somewhat smaller brush.
