Listen to facts, not liberal media's spin

In response to Bob Wynhausen’s rant “Irresponsible behavior must stop immediately”” 

Mr. Wynhausen’s comparison of the Republican base with Nazis because of what he says they are “capable” of doing was insulting and uninformed. Of course, actual violence committed by the left has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media, so maybe Mr. Wynhausen is only guilty of ignorance rather than of hysteria. As a person of Jewish heritage, and a Republican, I do suggest Mr. Wynhausen calm down and stop “stirring the pot” himself with false associations.

And having just returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., and having spoken with actual Senate Republicans (rather than listen to diatribes on MSNBC) , I can assure Mr. Wynhausen that acts of terrorism and racism, such as he referred to in his letter, are entirely abhorrent to them and by no means are being encouraged as part of the bipartisan resistance to the current U.S. health system takeover.

However, if Mr. Wynhausen would like to point to someone who actually has befriended actual terrorists and racists, he need only look to his own party leadership.
