jazzfish: an evil-looking man in a purple hood (Lord Fomax)
I was all set to write a mocking post about the liberals in [livejournal.com profile] laughin's head who aren't being Tolerant (a slur which, when used against a liberal, means "you can't tell me I'm wrong because that's mean"), but then [livejournal.com profile] silmaril went and said everything I could have, and more. For if people are hated, they will hate back. After a certain point it is called self-defense. There is a reason saints are exceptional.

Rick Perlstein came through admirably with specifics, and Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron Dunsany has an apropos anecdote as well.

"Jazz Fish, a saxophone playing wanderer, finds himself in Mamboland at a critical phase in his life." --Howie Green, on his book Jazz Fish Zen

Yeah. That sounds about right.
