Politics in the hobby shop

Tinfoil hats are worn on both ends of the political spectrum. IMHO, James Carville is as bad as any of the people on the far right, maybe worse. At least they have the decency to not shout down those with whom they are debating, unlike Mr. Carville.

Well our far-right friend,O'Rielly is pretty good at shouting down those that disagree with him

I've not observed him, but will take your word on it.

I don't watch either of them. Shields and Brooks on The News Hour with Jim Lehrer is one of the few lib-con discussions that IS a discussion, is civil, and is not a shouting match aimed at a National Enquirer mentality. Granted, Brooks might not represent the far right well, but then Shields is pretty centrist for a liberal (me, I'm of the Wellstone persuasion).

With Fox Spews you're more likely to get the likes of Tom DeLay or Ted Stevens, and Zell Miller as the tokens. Or maybe Norm Mineta as the token "Democrat".

How's about we stop this before it escalates any further?

The hobby shop is where we discuss trains and related matters, not crackpots from the extremes on both sides of the political spectrum.

There are jerks at both ends of the spectrum as well as a generous scattering of them though the intervening space. Carville and O'Rielly are both good examples of that. They should both have their tails tied together and be hung over the clothesline to fight it out like a pair of tomcats. People need to learn the difference between supporting an agenda and being a cheerleader.

And Franken, and Soros, and Streisand and...

Do we really need to keep this going?

Well, I can see that Al Franken would get your goat, but George Soros has only spent his money, not yelled an hollered. I don't know what Streisand has done that merits inclusion with the likes of Carville and O'Really and Hannity, et al., but then I don't really follow news of her, as I do not find either her appearance of her singing schlocky songs attractive. Nothing against gay folks, but I can't take much of Barbara, and not a whole lot more of Bette Midler. Then, again, I find Chuck Norris and Silvester Stallone unbearably stupid and schlocky, too.
