Does anyone know how this happened?</I><BR/><BR/>Wait a minute, wait a minute - you're comparing bile based on idiocy and disinformation (hatred of Obama) to bile based on observation and rational thought (hatred of Palin/McCain).<BR/><BR/>There is not a political divide in this country, there is a divide between people who have sense and those slack-jawed sheep who ascribe to the universal truth of "it's-on-TV/radio/internet-it-must-be-true."<BR/><BR/>I'll refrain from saying a divide between idiots and non-idiots, since this isn't my blog and I don't want to insult anyone. <BR/><BR/>Oops!
