Propriety and Paranoia in the Empire

After appearing on FOX News this weekend to defend Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s speech at the United Nations, I got the usual assortment of fair-and-balanced emails from viewers, many of whom were critical of my support of “this Satanic barbarian,” as one of my critics put it.

That email in response to my appearance on “Heartland with John Kasich” ended with an invitation (reproduced here exactly): “You can KISS MY A** you faggot piece of sh**.”

My focus here is not on the juvenile and hostile nature of the message; anyone who writes or speaks about controversial subjects can expect these kinds of angry responses, especially in the age of email when people’s emotional reactions can be dispatched in a matter of seconds, without adequate time for reflection.

1. You don't really think the person that sent that email,

has ever had "adequate time for reflection" do you?
