Is there no room here for a frivolous break...
for example, about candidates' favorite movies? Amid so many deadly serious posts? Must so many posts be met with attacks on their MSM sources, even if that source is often the source of important information? And must so many responses address only the source's past sins, when they are publishing something of value now?

Frankly, it gets disheartening for a poster who posts a great deal here.

Sorry -- must be "off my meds" this morning. Will take a break -- maybe even a frivolous one.

1. Obviously not.
If you're not flaming a candidate you loathe or defending a candidate that you'd follow over a cliff, you're an asshole.

2. Maybe General Discussion would've been a better place to post.

You didn't have to delete your post here though. People were just giving their opinions on the CNN "story".

On edit: Maybe I didn't care about it because they didn't have Obama's favorite movie listed. :evilgrin:

4. I agree with you.
Isn't there enough hate already in this world?
