Reply #20: These guys aren't used to being challenged without screaming

It actually feels awkward because it is so much different. I'm glad she didn't back down. When you think about it, it is astoundingly outrageous. He did, without any doubt, assert that her sarcasm was equivalent to calling a person a terrorist or calling for one's assassination.

I guess she won't get many visitors from the right. But that's OK. Just keep telling the truth and building the ratings. There will come a time when the cowards on the right will find they have to come out from their cozy little enclave at Faux.

Maybe the most extreme will never give up their fortress, but as time passes, there will be more and more moderate voices on the conservative end that they must engage Rachael on her terms -- which aren't really unfair. The only rule is that you can't talk nonsense and expect to get away without a challenge.
