Kind of dream the dream as we are all Americans and from that rather fantastical place, it was very moving.

Unfortunately promulgating lies cannot be excused. We cannot just make nice when the right wing viewpoints are based on complete falsehoods and half truths. It would be more effective if it were simply two opposing viewpoints that could be rationally discussed in their individual merits.

Sigh.
