I discover I am a simpleton and a coward

Hearing this came as quite a shock to me, since I have always enjoyed engaging in complex thought, I often go against the assumptions made by "my" side of the political schism, and I am not afraid to reject any standard, no matter how popular, in favor of my own values.

But according to Bill O'Reilly, since I am a blogger, I am a simpleton and a coward. I wonder whether I have always been one, or whether these defects came to me only in the past three years, the period during which I have kept a weblog. In March, I learned from O'Reilly that I am a terrorist. Who knows what I will learn from him next?

Of course, a lot of bloggers are simpletons; perhaps some are cowards (I know a lot of commenters are). But what word do we use for someone who threatens to kill a guest on his show--a guest who has recently suffered the violent death of his own father? Simpleton? Not really. Coward? Doesn't quite get it. How about uncivilized monster? And what word do we use to describe someone who--upset over what his guest says--tells him to "Shut up! Shut up! Shut Up!" I think that would be...ill-mannered butthole.

But what about the accusations that people who question the government are traitors? Or the assertion that all of the prisoners at Guantanamo should be executed? Or that any American can get a job earning $30,000 a year? Or that homosexuals are responsible for AIDS? Or that a loofah resembles a falafel?

Simpleton? Coward? How about ignorant imbecilic bigot?
