hopefully we can start to shape a more civil discourse in our country ... passion = good, slander, fear-mongering, grossly mischaracterizing opponents as "demons" = bad and HAS to go!

The groups and people he maligns should be watching for instances where they can sue that petty little monster for slander. Keep hitting him in the pocketbook, where it hurts.
