If you disagree with someone, the best thing to do is demonstrate, rhetorically, why they&#8217;re wrong and you&#8217;re right.  When you are a One True Way sort of individual, though, like most command-and-control talking heads on the Right, disagreement isn&#8217;t disagreement, it&#8217;s both a sin and a personal attack, and so deserves whatever one might do to punish it.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/Three-starDavesSharedItemsInGoogleReader\/~3\/GULyOBMk9dk\/wapos-ruth-marcus-it-would-be-insane\">WaPo&#8217;s Ruth Marcus: It Would Be &#8216;Insane&#8217; To Restore Tax Rates For The Rich To Previous Levels<\/a> &#8211; What&#8217;s amazing is that Marcus pretty much agrees with every point Trumka makes &#8212; and then dismisses them to wail that the rich pay too much in taxes and it&#8217;s time for everyone else to sacrifice.
