Some years ago, I put an essay on my Web site titled Progressive Voice. It was a call for progressives to speak up and counteract the shrill volume of the right wing. I also said that progressives are the real Americans, and we have to make that clear to the country.
I’ve had the occasional supportive e-mail in response. Today I got one from the other side. It demonstrates just how dangerous the right wing really is:
David,
I glanced over your manifesto with complete shock.
Al I can say is Are you fucking kidding me?. You and any that think the way you do MUST be hunted down and permanently removed from Society.
Progressives are a cancer that has infected our great nation and MUST be eradicated. YOU are the Enemy, YOU are the traitors YOU MUST be eliminated.

Ugh. This dude is full of seething anger, but it's been so obviously instilled in him and carefully nurtured by the Reich Wing, who then instruct him who to direct his anger to. Note how he never says WHY he wants to kill progressives. These people are begging to be serfs. But am I crazy to feel sorry for them, just a little bit? I suppose that's why they call us bleeding-hearts liberals... (sigh)
Hah. I guess that's our fatal weakness -- our ability to see the other side as human beings. They don't suffer from that.
I'll be happy to do the not-seeing-him-as-a-human-being for you in this case.
I assume this nutcase does not know that such an e-mailed threat is a crime....
Yes, a Federal crime.
Moreover, he sent the e-mail from his work address. Not very smart.
There's something wrong with that guy. Even if he said it as a joke - which I don't think he did
