I don't take to throwing drinks in peoples faces, Bob, but otherwise I'm 
with you.  Unlike you, I've been on this list a long time and these 
things occur once in a while and I've never been ticked off enough to 
reply.  This time, however, it got to me and I've been stewing about it 
all morning wondering if I was going to do a useless thing and reply. 
You beat me to it.

Walt's comments about the Fox network didn't particularly set me off but 
Earl Dunbar's follow-on was a kick in the pants and John Hermanson (as 
usual) couldn't help joining in to show his anti-conservative colors.

It has become quite popular amongst the Democrats (egged on by Howard 
Dean) to equate being conservative and Republican with being stupid and 
illiterate.  I rarely watch the Fox network but I am a McCain Republican 
and I resent the implications that I am a moron or that someone thinks 
it's OK to be "ROTFLMAO!!!!" after I have been personally insulted.

I really believe apologies are in order.
