As you probably know, Rep. Cohen responded to the President’s call for civility by calling the Republican party a bunch of Nazis. Because that’s what he does; and I don’t really expect bigots like him to change. Cohen is precisely the sort of person who can’t feel big until he’s made everybody around him small; and since people like that rarely have the ability to | Read More »

What makes this particularly sad, of course, is that Representative Cohen is an early Obama super-delegate… and one who has been assaulted for months, in some of the vilest ways possible.
