One can NOT make a valid point when one out “Uncle’s” the person one is trying to deeride for Uncleing in the first place.

The issues were in regards to your fact free rant, not your dislike of Frank. Had YOU been civil, as you call others to be, you wouldn’t have been called out.

Stop blaming others and take personal responsibility for the words you wrote that earned you the responses by your readers.

He’s done a marvelous job on his own with his response to the murder of the ambassador to Libya but I would like to see a lot more nails in his political coffin.

Or else, he’s just a replicant…

The dude’s an asshole, pure and simple.

“A sociopath?
Oh good lord. And I have a thread full of people screaming at me for calling Barney Frank “Uncle Calumny”.
It must be election season.”

Is it indeed all about you? Inquiring minds would like to know. About that thread on your commentary which was ostensibly about Representative Franks’ intemperate call-out of the LCR for enabling homophobes: The full thread didn’t “scream” at you for calling him the kind of names a schoolyard bully employs, though some of us did mention that as well.

The full thread was on your case for outdoing Rep. Franks’ intemperate language in a juvenile, selectively prejudicial, and largely fact-free rant that made the retiring congressman look statesmanlike by comparison. As you have done before when faced with a 98% disapproval response in a comment thread, you’re blaming the receivers of your message’s undeniable defects for those defects in your message, by way of a gratituous blanket insult to our collective sanity based on the political time of year.

You began with a self-confessed inability to remember anything good, or accomplished or attempted in Rep. Franks’ career. You went downhill from there. The only “screaming” on that thread was done by you in your commentary, where you howled like a banshee throughout the thing. Now you’re doubling down here by insulting us meanies for failing to recognize your utter brilliance in applied adjectival asshattery.

Your writing that column can at least be explained (though not excused) as the passion induced by your self-admitted animus toward Barney Frank. Your insult here to all of us on that thread, for objecting to an embarrassingly juvenile election season rant from you about a retiring congressman, is neither excusable nor explainable.

Still, I’ll leave judging the list to you. I also want to point out that I never called Romney a sociopath. The only kind of retired health care professional who does that to unexamined persons is one who probably practiced Fristing while gainfully employed. I have no reason to suppose your crack was aimed at anything I wrote, though, since your comment’s positioning immediately following mine is probably an artifact of the timing of our comment postings.

Note to label assigners: There is a difference between exhibiting some of the charactistics of a recognized-definition pathology and actually being diagnosable, after clinical examination and evaluation, as having a personality that falls within that defined pathology.

I feel that Mitt Romney is completely unprincipled. His agenda is all about the pursuit of power and position.

When I was active in the fight to keep marriage legal in MA, I was with a group including the Goodridges on a subsequent visit to Romney. Romney was a no-show that day, unfortunately (fortunately?). We were protesting belittling public remarks Mitt had made about families headed by same-sex parents when addressing a conservative audience in the South. This is the same man who insisted he was a gay rights supporter when he was running against Ted Kennedy. Mitt Romney makes my skin crawl.
