See, while I'm willing to believe that some Republicans aren't evil individually, I have issues with the party they support.

Believe me, I do too. I won't address your other points, because I don't want to get into a political debate, but I will say that my disagreement with the article goes deeper than individual points. It goes into the foundation of respect that I believe every person, regardless of beliefs, should be accorded. It's that whole 'demonizing' thing that I mentioned to nilchance above.

The truth is that I sorta hate BOTH parties. They collude together to keep other voices out - I'd love to see more parties. Green Party, Independents, even those insanoids the Libertarians.
When you really analyze the actions of Democratic and Republican presidents, there isn't all that much that separates them.

Anyhow, thanks for your thoughtful response. You could have just said STFU, lol.
