For the past year it never occurred to me to say something nasty about people who hold your positions, because everyone is entitled to their opinion- even if it's misguided. If you have something substantive to say, then say it! Otherwise don't waste the electrons.

As American citizens, we are still entitled to our opinion. I know that Mr Schulman longs for Obama as king, but while we are still a democracy, we can speak against an outright Jew hater who cannot identify the enemies of the US. I personally would rather have an alcoholic as Sec Def than a crazed pacifist who doesn't like Jews.
