That's some pretty purple stuff to be putting out there for all eternity

I don't normally preoccupy this blog with matters of vile ad hominem attacks.  It's kind of like focusing on race-charged stories.  I just get embarrassed for our species for not being able to rise above such a juvenile level.  Nonetheless, descent into that level is clear evidence that someone with whom you're debating has run out of intellectual gas.

That's clearly the case with Allan Brauer, the chair for the Sacramento FHer party, who went off the rails in a Twitter exchange with Ted Cruz aide Amanda Carpenter pretty early in the unfolding of the comment thread.

Maybe he'll back up what he's on record as saying with a substantive argument that factually justifies his vehemence, but I'm not holding my breath.
