Dave Burris called me out on his blog. I guess it would be discourteous of me not to respond, so here is my response.
The secessionist rhetoric, the revolt talk, and the violent imagery framed as patriotism that right-wing bloggers, pundits, and politicians like Dave Burris use for effect is being taken seriously by unstable people. That is a fact. There are three dead cops in Pittsburgh who testify to the veracity of my observation.
Dave can bluster and level uniformed ad hominem attacks at me all he wants, but no amount of pretend outrage can alter the simple fact. Words have impact.
