From twitter:<br /><br />asymmetricinfoMegan McArdle<br />Dear Ron Paul supporters: I am not DEAF or BLIND, so you do not NEED to use ALL CAPS in order to ENSURE that I can APPREHEND YOUR COMMENT!!!<br /><br />cereallybroAsh<br />@asymmetricinfo It's COMPREHEND, darling. Deaf or blind u maybe not. But u sure are an idiot! Stop using words that are too big for you!<br /><br />asymmetricinfoMegan McArdle<br />@cereallybro Suggest you consult a dictionary before you start with the nastygrams.<br /><br />cereallybroAsh<br />@asymmetricinfo As it happens, I have. Effective 'authors' need not have to advise their readers to consult one though. Nasty begets nasty.<br /><br />asymmetricinfoMegan McArdle<br />@cereallybro If you consulted a dictionary, why did you incorrectly tell me that I had misused apprehend? I am confused.<br /><br />cereallybroAsh<br />@asymmetricinfo Because the 'arrest' meaning will always take precedence above all else. There are words that are far more accessible.<br /><br />McArdle's vocabulary is not nearly as good as it should be. (And Nancy French does not choose her words with care at all--she pays no attention to the impact of her words.) I am very envious that mediocre or bad writers can make a living by writing just because they are serving the needs of the rich.

I bet there are many people out there going through the same process. I don't listen to NPR anymore, don't watch PBS or cable news, cancelled my subscriptions to the Washington Post, Economist, and the Atlantic, seldom click on HuffPost. Instead I follow the press in India, Russia, Latin America, China which allows me to compare the coverage and see for myself that Canadians and Americans are kept on a diet of filtered, pro-Israel propaganda. A prominent part of that propaganda is to discredit Ron Paul, the only candidate not beholden to the Israel lobby. </i><br /><br />OMG.Substance McGravitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118764163822188800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-83708535836593185942012-01-27T17:43:27.419-06:002012-01-27T17:43:27.419-06:00I'm far from Ron Pauls biggest fan, but are yo...<i>I'm far from Ron Pauls biggest fan, but are you saying that race-bating should disqualify one from office?</i><br /><br />That is awesome.Substance McGravitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118764163822188800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-20556213432446887542012-01-27T16:16:55.376-06:002012-01-27T16:16:55.376-06:00Put 'em in a round room and tell 'em the g...Put 'em in a round room and tell 'em the glibbertarian state of their dreams is in the corner.<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.com
