I'm deeply offended by this.

Mostly because no one can argue their damn case w/out resorting to invective and issues that don't enter into the case.

Had one lady on facebook literally ask "I didn't know socialism earned one a nobel prize. what's wrong w/ folks?"

As if.. you know.. somehow.. a political stripe qualified or disqualified someone for humanitarian efforts.

Bleargh. I love arguments built on meaningless castigation, we all know that. But.. seriously. Learn to argue before trying to argue w/out facts. Walk before you can run.
