“Eliminationist? What’s that? Who are they? I’ve not seen that word before and don’t understand. “
These are common reactions when people see the real work being done to define the violent rhetoric today. There is a movement of people who are radical and think seriously of how to demonize then eliminate their opposition. The language [...]

Sarah Palin said she had a “higher calling” that required her to resign 17 months before her term ended as governor of Alaska, and not to seek a second term.
I have no idea where this “higher calling” came from, but I suspect it could only have come from two sources. The first one is God. [...]

– McCain succeeded in ridiculing Obama’s “eloquence”? Seriously, what debate was she watching, and from the confines of what alternate un-reality?
