I am starting to feel sad for them
Until this morning I had hatred for the RW that was growing. But now, I look at them and I know that they somehow believe that:

We are obstructionist (even though we only blocked 4% of Bush's Judicial Nominees and they used the filibuster to a greater degree then us when Clinton was President)
That we are Anti-Religion (even though the 'christian' Rightists are the ones who are using religion as a tool)
Fox News is actually News (For some reason, I don't think that using Astrologers makes you a News Company)

I feel sad for them and I feel sad for America. I can't hate the RW'ers anymore, I pity them.

2. That's the key
I think they know their place on the stage of history is not going to last too much longer, so they are raging.

4. I think I'd rather have someone be mad at me than pity me.
I know what you mean. I find self-delusion to be incredibly sad and pitiful.

5. No! Don't.....that's when they really stab you in the back!
Seriously..they want you to be the better angel. They want you to feel sorry for them. That way your compassion for their sickness trumps your anger at what they have done to America.

Be angry! Stay angry! Just make it productive anger and fight them fuckers!

6. Whatever.

They hate you, and me, and anyone else who doesn't subscribe to their world view, twisted as it has become. Empathy will be met with increased hatred.

7. just because someone's delusional and pathetic doesn't
make them any less dangerous. It's a great survival tactic to hate whatever's trying to kill you - don't give it up just yet.

8. Astrologers? Really?
Amazing. Their devotion to objective, accurate reporting is truly inspring.
