"The country has become divided into people who find Palin's question flesh-crawling creepy, and those who do not. "
~ Jeff Schweitzer, Huffington Post
Schweitzer of the Huffington Post has had it. That's it. No more Mr. Nice Guy towards Sarah Palin, whom he calls a staph infection.
Phew. I was wondering when the Huffington Post was going to stop being so hopey-changey towards Ms. Palin.
"Just as in 1861 we can no longer solve our differences by meeting half way. One side must prevail, and the only way to precipitate that victory or defeat is to engage in the battle. So let's rumble. Bring it on, and let's give the American people a clear, stark, unambiguous choice for what this country will become."
Ten hut! Hopey-changey is over. Fort Sumter has been fired on.
I guess politics has been civil up to this point, but get ready. Exit civil. Enter civil war.
"I guess politics has been civil up to this point"
On what planet has /that/ been the case? The political discourse hasn't been civil in a very, very long time, at least not on the national media stage. In fact, Palin has been one of the worst examples of NON-civil discourse, leading off with her 2008 convention speech. (Maybe disparaging community organizers is "civil" in your lexicon, but it isn't in mine.)

I found it ironic that the Huffington Post is now declaring civil war. They think Fort Sumter has been fired on.
What they don't realize is that we have already been in a Civil War politically speaking. It is not Fort Sumter. It more like Gettysburg by now.
I was being facetious about things being civil up till now. I'll add a winkie face ;) next time.
