	I would personally take the label as a smear (because I am not a leftist) but the intent was 
not a smear but an accurate categorization of the target of my claim of hypocrisy - which was, in 
fact, the actual "smear" as it were. However one supported by irrefutable evidence as we find in 
the remainder of your email...

	Thus the hypocrisy appears once again! Damned if you guys don't go 100% by the 
playbook. "Talk radio drivel" is both a smear and presumptuous! And you then demand that I prove 
a negative assertion (logically impossible) with you have clearly taken for granted (by providing no 
evidence that "talk radio" is to be equated with "drivel") and further demand that we do the same. 
Therefore an entirely unjustifiable demand on others (myself and the rest of this list) rationalized by 
the need for fairness and tolerance (of your views) - which you have just denied of others (me)! 
Step 4 in record time! So please consider yourself "painted", "smeared", or otherwise marked by 
your own actions and words, sir/madam/indifferent. You must really be, what the "king of talk radio 
drivel" as you would likely claim, calls a "seminar caller". Therefore I will not waste the effort 
destroying the rest of your inane message because it cannot possibly be honestly written...
