I used to think you wore rose colored glasses but now I see they are actually just blinders.

I know that you thought that sentence was so cool when you read it that you've been dying to use it on someone, but you should have saved it for a more appropriate target. Anyone who has read more than a few posts of mine here knows that re politics, I'm about the most cynical person you'll ever meet. If I'm wearing rose-colored glasses, we should all suicide immediately.

Oh - and why not expose my blindness for all to see by recounting all of the well-publicized deranged acts of leftists in the last 10 years?

It is easy to say that this guy is obviously a deranged nutjob that does not reflect on the rest of the political persuasion.

I wish we could recognize the exact same phenomenon with muslims. The average muslim looks at muslim terrorists the same way.

I don't think it's caused by ideology, but I think it's related. I'm having a lot of trouble thinking of something really disturbed done by someone on the left in the last decades. I can think of at least a few from the right.

I still think that any use of this sick person to draw conclusions about others of any political persuasion is unjustified.

That makes sense, thanks. I have a pretty shaggy orange cat, so marker on the fur wouldn't have any legible effect.

And, I agree, which is why I have tried to steer the conversation away from the "politics" of the situation, and towards the absurdity of cat-writing.

agree with you Takoma. While I find some of what I read on ThinkProgress interesting and relevant, I find the overall paranoid tone of the website to be off-putting. I prefer dailykos.

I'm not going to embed this picture because it is disgusting, but click this link for a picture of the cat:

Well I'm not going to click it! Noooo thank you. Just explain to me the methodology. My mother says she once tried to put racing stripes on a cat using hydrogen peroxide, but it didn't work.

Right wing extremists who dominate the GOP - sick bastards. Terrorism.

It's someone sick whose political slant is not all that relevant.

It was probably relevant to the cat.
