[MD] political harmony

Right. The left liked McCain. But their attacks on Palin reached a new low.

[Arlo]
Perhaps. But this "new low" for the left comes nowhere close to the 
abyss-like depths right-wing radio has made its norm. And most 
certainly they never reached the depths of the attacks on Obama. One 
would hope in your condemnation of "their attacks on Palin" you'd 
have the self-reflective insight to witness your own lowness in 
discourse, but this is just another "when we do it, it's okay, when 
they do it, it's condemnable". Coming from anyone else, concerns over 
the treatment of Palin may provoke empathy, but coming from the 
schoolyard bully, its nothing but hypocritic and sad.

[Platt]
Palin, however, was hung in effigy.

[Arlo]
There are idiots and wing-nuts on both sides of the fence, for sure. 
Since you're condemning this act, take a look at this 
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV_8-Wqoa_I) I'm sure you'll want to 
be as vocally condemning this "hanging in effigy" as you are of the 
other. (For those who don't want to bother with the video link, its a 
new story about Obama being hung in effigy).
