My Hill oped, “Do Trump’s liberal critics seem increasingly unhinged?,” has spurred more than 3000 comments on the Hill website, where it was the most popular article mid-morning. Here are some of the thoughtful feedback from readers, along with some humorous ones at the bottom.
[…] My USA Today oped yesterday, “Thanksgiving travel: Trump’s holiday gift is more invasive airport security,” enraged many Trump supporters and got me tagged as part of the “HATE Trump agenda,” libtard, moron, brain dead, clown, left wing bigot, dopey liberal, and leader of the idiots. It is surprising to see how many people’s devotion to the president leads them to whitewash the abuses of an agency that has long abused Americans. Tuesday’s article in The Hill (“Do Trump’s liberal critics seem increasingly unhinged?”) got me denounced – mostly by liberals and leftists – as a Nazi light ding dong, crypto-fascist, Russian agent, moron, and “Trump cluck.” […]

Tom, I am crestfallen at the foregone opportunity for thoughtful exchanges with these commenters.

That’s a hoot! In the early 1990s, I spent time helping a TV newsmagazine on an expose on USDA boondoggles. Shortly before it aired, the producer called & told me they would not be using any of my interview footage because his boss said, “That guy looks like Leon Trotsky!”
So…..”Russian Trolltsky?” Be careful around the ice axe section of REI…..
How dare you notice their unhinged ravings! Now they’ll need to retreat to a safe space to crayon up the walls and eat some Play-doh, while watching cat videos.
If we continue to act like tyranny is imminent, we will miss what needs fixing most in our society.
