Mike:

What's your point? That some democratic supporters are vile? No contest 
there, but the same is true of Republican supporters. Just go to Google 
and type in "special olympics" plus "john kerry" and you'll get lots of 
pro-bush sites saying equally vile things. Should we get equally mad 
about those vile bush voters, or should we just dismiss them as nasty 
wackos that have nothing to do with Bush's campaign?

best, patrick
