What I'm saying here is it sanctimonious for people to claim "We're all Americans here, we all want the same thing" while at the same time going on a search destroy mission alleging that what other Americans want is the destruction of the world. That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying that she's evil. I'm saying that her actions do not match her words. She's written plenty about Bill Sali and plenty about Bryan Fischer, and at least one post Brandi Swindell, so she's been part of the machine, not to the hateful degree to which 43rd State Blues has been. She certainly hasn't tried to destroy by destroying their families, but I think the "Can't we all get along" game from Idaho liberal bloggers is silly because you guys don't treat your opponents in any sense like real human beings. But the point here is if you are going to take the, "We ought to all be nice" and realize we're all Americans stance, you better walk the walk. And she has never called out the left for not acting like we're all Americans. 43rd State Blues has acted like Sali, Fischer, and Swindell are subhuman. They've even viscerally attacked Mrs. Fischer and there's some pretension that they are a legitimate blog. As for your Zeb efforts, this is only a matter of silencing someone's voice with which you disagree, and making yourself feel good about it, massaging your ego when all you're doing is painting a broad picture of your opponents that re-affirms your worldview.

But then your paranoia is only exceeded by your inability to read and comprehend and <strong>that</strong> is only exceeded by your myopic view of the world. You lump everyone who doesn't believe in your same narrow world view into one group of evil, conspiring, haters out to "destroy good people" and then project that view onto those whom you've just labeled. Is it easier to hate them if you believe they all hate you? Is it easier to overlook the inherent worth in all people when you believe them to have evil intentions? You characterize the efforts by Tara and myself to eliminate bigotry and racism in this state as an attempt to shut down conservative talk radio when the two of us have repeatedly said that we don't care if Zeb Bell expresses a conservative viewpoint, just that he not use hateful, offensive and bigoted language to do so. Either you didn't read and comprehend these posts or you've intentionally mischaracterized them. You target Tara with your angry venom as if she's to blame for all the supposed "ills" perpetrated on Bryan Fischer, Brandi Swindell and Bill Sali. She hasn't done anything to the three (all who have chosen to be in the public eye, btw) and, of all the progressive bloggers, has written next to nothing about <strong>any</strong> of them in the four plus years she's been blogging. <strong>Nothing</strong> could be more unfair or undeserved than making her your scapegoat. You're appalled? I'm appalled. And this acerbic anger doesn't flatter you. Good lord, Adam… paranoia much?
