"Let’s review: One person sent a broken-souled e-mail. In response, Digby used the most powerful word in the language: “They.”

One person sent Digby an e-mail—but to Digby, it was the doing of “them” (of “the right-wingers”). Used in this way, “they” is a powerful, ugly word—a shorter form of “those people.”

In reality, “those people” are now getting phone calls from Rep. West. Two weeks ago, they fell in love with Herman Cain at that first GOP debate—in South Carolina, no less! Cain is black, of course, like West. And yet, “those people” are known to be racists.

Are you sure they hate Obama because he’s black? Could it be because he’s a Democrat?

Our haters insist that “they’re” full of hate! Can it be good for progressive interests when we train ourselves to hate in this way? In a way which is so pre-historic?"
