I'm referring to left-wing columnists. That the right-wingers are doing is no surprise.

11. Indeed!
I no longer read most of those already anyway. This is the sort of ridiculousness that makes me know for certain I was absolutely right in my assessment of these asshats.

9. No.
And here is the definition of bashing:

Bashing is a harsh, gratuitous, prejudicial attack on a person, group or subject. Literally, bashing is a term meaning to hit or assault, but when it is used as a suffix, or in conjunction with a noun indicating the subject being attacked, it is normally used to imply that the act is motivated by bigotry. The term is also used metaphorically, to describe verbal or critical assaults. Topics which attract bashing tend to be highly partisan and personally sensitive topics for the bashers, the victims or both. Common areas include religion, nationality, sexuality and politics.



Do you mean criticize?

10. Asking important questions is not bashing.
Asking where we go from here and what the future ramifications will be are important questions. They need to be asked, and they need to be asked today.

It is not bashing.

12. Looks like you'll need to draw a picture for a few...
Or just put them on ignore... this one is easy. It's not hard questions, it's bashing. Someone who can't tell the difference is too confused for discussion anyway.

16. It would also qualify as his best post.
he sucks with words, maybe pictures is his best chance to communicate.

Of course, the fact that yuo even think he has a point goes a long way in explaining the state of politics in America.
