6. That's really great news. I'm so sick of Republicans calling us un-American with impunity.

This kind of rebuke is bound to send a message to the jackasses on the right who think that questioning our patriotism is a valid form of political dialog.

They are dangerous to democracy, and need to be thoroughly and completely repudiated.

8. All We Need To Do Is Give More Airtime To Republicans

It's impressive how they can finish themselves off when given a public audience.
