/p> p> After reading about the hatchet jobs and ad hominem attacks perpetrated by Huffington et al. at the Huffington Post, I finally find myself to be at a loss for words. Since I can't think of anything myself, I will have to depend on an elder statesman. Yes, the Boy President got it exactly right: "Scumbag!" br> -- Ira M. Kessel br> Rochester, New York /p>

It doesn't matter which prominent liberal -- Arianna, Keith O., Howard D., Nancy, Harry, and now Barack Obama -- their political message begins and ends by trying to persuade people that:

1. All conservatives are corrupt and inferior. They're evil and dumb! They're full of hatred, they're dishonest, selfish, violent, hypocrites. Conservatives lack intelligence and proper education. They're racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted, intolerant, blah, blah, blah....

2. Liberals are superior in every way.

For liberals, this invalidates the need to discuss any issues.

p>The liberal message is nearly impossible in our society to avoid. It permeates media, news, entertainment, advertising and education. One has to work to get the conservative message. And yet, conservatives are proud to be called "conservative" and liberals don't want to be called "liberal." Can someone explain why only certain people believe and follow liberals like Arianna? br> -- Paul Hoffmann br> San Antonio, Texas /p>
