During the Iraq war they called us terrorists for expressing our democratic right to protest the violence. During the Obama era they said we were doing nothing less than destroying the very fabric of America in our advocacy of expanded health care. Now the right calls us cucks, snowflakes and libtards. Recently, the so called alt right has aligned with white nationalism and brought racism and misogny to the forefront of American politics again. So no, get off your moral high horse. The right engages in the politics of demonization of opponents. You can't claim to "only attack ideas, not people." One trip to Breitbart will belie that for you.
I am glad the recall effort failed. It was a blatant attempt to subvert the last election through abuse of the recall process and the voters saw through that. Homer is and always was great.
