I'm just surprised no one's blamed the "liberal media" yet, honestly.

My 'dumbass' comments were really about the two 'sides' in public discourse, not the two main ends of the spectrum on this board.
It wasn't coming from a 'left' perspective, but from the notion that neither side on the far ends is willing to engage with one another. Hence, my sentence indicating that there will likely be a faction that thinks the far right is full of dumbasses and an equally likely faction that thinks the far left is full of dumbasses.
If I suspected it was going to stick in anyone's craw, I wouldn't have used it. It's a pity you took those words as representative of politics as usual in this forum, in my opinion.
