Perhaps you are failing to make disclaimers, or the level of vitriol you spout overwhelms any cursory disclaimers you might make.
Or, perhaps, you really do believe that Democrats are stupid, and not worthy of having an intellectual discussion with because, after all, well, Byrd. (Similar to Ann Coulter's view -- why talk to a liberal, unless you really have to?) I haven't met you in person, but frmo your comments here, I think this paragraph more accurately reflects what you really feel, and I regard your claims that "it's only about the party leadership" to be utter bullshit.
If I were thin-skinned, I would have the same feelings about the comments by Slave, Club, etc. Yet I don't. I can have rational discussions with them. I can have vitriolic discussions with them. Yet I've never come to the conclusion that either of them actually holds all Democrats in disgust and disdain. That is exactly the conclusion that I've reached about you.
But I'm sure it's just my fault. And Wonk's. And SS's. Right?

Apparently yes.
While, I do think the DNC and its political philoshopy is empty, anachronistic and detrimental to the country, but that doesn't mean that I think that they should be denied their first amendment rights or otherwise outlawed. And some of my best friends are dimwit......democrats. Obviously, or not, if you want to be intentionally dense, if I had such a visceral hatred of people who are registered democrats or socialists or greens etc. then I wouldn't live in a place where they outnumber me 6 to 1. I would move to Utah or someone in the south or Texas, no offence. to commune with my kind. I do have a visceral dislike of some of the parties leaders. I did recently bid on an auctioned lunch with Communist congressman Baghdad Jim McDermott, in order, if I had won, to air my grievances with his traitorous ways, yet otoh, I have friends who know him, love him, can't live without him and I respect and discourse with them, in spite of their misguided ways. What is so hard for you to understand about this?
