Did you turn into a shrinking violet when I wasn't looking? If "asshole" gives you the vapours, I don't know how you'd even function. (It's even meant, in this context, to mean a stubborn political scrapper rather than a compromiser - he refers to himself in the next paragraph as an asshole.) Political operatives call each other far worse, every day, and always have.
As for boycotting Glenn Beck, it can't come a moment too soon. That man has been completely off the handle, calling his opponents Nazis, Communists, Racists, and even not-so-subtly advocating treasonous insurrection for *absolutely no fracking reason* except that the president is a black guy he disagrees with. Should his opponents not try to organize a boycott? It's perfectly within their rights.
And just a nit, you perennially misspell "Barack".
Regardless, not that this thread really has a lot of focus to begin with, but could we keep it from becoming the kitchen sink thread of random political stuff?
