Reply #112: I haven't seen to many of these attacks

[DFW]

So I'm not too much in the loop.

One reason for that might be that attacks on Democratic candidates
get increasingly ignored by me as their shrillness increases.
I'm just not interested, and if the OP was in response in this
vein, then I can well understand. I was discussing this fervent
hostility on the DU with someone who is probably our (DU) favorite
Washington journalist last Sunday, and she was dismayed at it, too.

Any vicious attacks need to be directed toward the rightist nut cases
in the Republican Party (which means just about all of them these days).
Disagree with policies if you want, but leave spouses, haircuts, or
financial statements out of it. The enemy is not to be found in our
ranks. Some will disagree with that, but it's my take. Why this urge
to slit Democratic throats is to be found here is beyond me unless it
is the work of Freepers looking to stir what should have been a very united pot.
