OH YEAH, I LEFT OUT HATRED & STUPIDITY

Another consequence of having conservatives in power is that the role the stupid, the ignorant, the angry, the hateful and the afraid grows in our public discourse. Consider two comments from brain-dead "Buzz" Patterson at the pro-war rally in DC:

"Congress, quit playing games with our troops. Terrorists, we will find you and kill you," he said. "And to our troops, we're here for you, and we support you." (USA Today)

The people playing games with the troops are war whores like Hannity and Melanie Morgan. They pretend to support the troops when all they really support is war.

"I've seen how leftist politicians hate the military. It's disgusting. We're fighting a war not in Iraq but with them," said Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, a retired Air Force pilot. (WaPo)

This is the same hateful line Hannity and Levin take 5 days a week and only hurts America. Patterson is not part of the conservative fringe, he represents mainsteam conservative thinking, just as Hinderaker does:

Anti-war, anti-troop and anti-American protesters turned out in Washington today
