I just saw a little of the Bill Maher show and there was a conservative woman (and by conservative I actually mean crazy person on board with the extreme crazy that has taken over the party) who said something about how the Republicans are the party who respond to rational arguments and facts instead of fuzzy emotions.

The response was priceless. Because it wasn't even everybody booing or disagreement. You could *feel* everyone in the room (and see the others on the panel) trying to figure out why she'd just made this obviously sarcastic joke without sounding at all ironic--and isn't she supposed to be conservative?

I mention it because the disconnect seems just so strong in the same way. These are people who will viciously attack anyone who disagrees with them or is not in their party, but then will claim their feelings were hurt and those Dems are so partisan with a totally straight face and not seem to get how strange they sound.
