That's exactly how I feel about Olby and Maddow when they meld minds on air...

[sketchbook1]

Not once did that man say anything that was "anti-intellectual, ignorant bigotry", and for you to say that his thought should be annihilated is beyond the pale.

Fascists used to say that...

Laura Ingram caters to the nationalistic, ant-intellectual, ignorant bigotry that deserves to be annihilated beyond the power of memory in this country.

[Lotus4115]

Very convenient that he is unseen and unknowable maybe because he is not there. Why is it the Pat Robertson can see and feel him? Come on people grow up. And on the issue of respect, the faithful have shown no respect for the ones who dont believe or share the same belief. These poor souls l have gone by the way of the flame or the gallowses.

What a lovely cosy little chat, no disent, no coflict, "I'm right and your right, even though we are talking utter rubbish."
