Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:
My first vote was Reagan's second term. So I'm not that old but I'm no spring chicken either. I've never in my life seen the type of vitriol in American public debate like we see now. It actually scary that we as a country can't have a functional debate without some jerkoff berating (You lie!) the President from the peanut gallery...or without signs from the teabagers that say "Bury Obama with Kennedy," or using terms like fascist, socialist, Marxist to describe the health care debate. It's really unbelievable.
Com'on Doc, I know we're on the opposite side of these issues, but you've "Never" seen the type of vitriol we have now? Were you asleep from Nov. 2000 to Jan 20 2008? The kill Bush rant went from election night 2000 to the day he left office.
I'll agree it's bad, but it damn sure ain't any worse.
