energy expended in trying to talk to idiots, and you're probably right, but still, I got in over my head, let my anger take over, and got into it on this web site where I am apparently the only liberal. I was working on researching and trying to write unimpeachably fact-based rebuttals to the RW "rebuttals" of my earlier sloppy and over emotional rants and, on the advice of my doctor, eventually decided just drop it due to the stress it was causing me. (I have a hard time dealing with these things calmly.)
However, a newly posted (and unfortunately emailed to me, or I wouldn't have seen it) attack on me has got my ire up again and makes me want to respond to it and the previous stuff I had given up on.
I know these jerk-offs are wrong (denying Cheney's secret Energy Commission, for example), however I have a very poor retention of the details. I'm hoping a few DUers, especially any from in or around Huntington, Long Island, will either summarize some specific pertinent facts I can use to rebut the RW BS, or sign up and post themselves in response. I can't believe that every other poster on the site seems to be a freakin' teabagger, so their lies are predominating the comments on not just these two, bur every political issue on the site.

Also, while I didn't get involved in this one, some of you may be interested in this *all Hispanics are evil illegal immigrants" screed:

http://huntington.patch.com/articles/nicholas-wieland-funding-the-day-laborer-hiring-site-is-illegal#commentsThe site is growing, and really needs some liberal representation, so even if no one wants to help untie me from the railroad tracks, I hope more liberals will become involved in expressing opinions on Patch, in Huntington an in the growing number of other local versions across the country. It's a shame to see Huntington represented as little East Coast Arizona!
