[Cats Against Frist]

This might be the first time that I've ever said the above, to anyone, but I enjoy your posts and writing, a lot. I still think that there are no "cold grey suits" of the right-wing -- it's more like Lee Jeans, shaker-knit sweater vests, Cabello flannels, American Flag sweatshirts and ball-caps with mesh in the back. I will concede, however, that if someone has held onto their anti-hippie bias for 40 years, it is quite possible that they would never be decidedly anti-establishment, anyway -- and they probably eat war for breakfast.

I also agree with you about Howard Dean -- however, would you feel that the public would accept a tie-dyed Howard Dean in a Cat-in-the-Hat top hat -- even with the exact same message? I know it's not the same -- official v. protester -- but unfortunately, appearances do have ramifications -- and your argument can be turned around, too. The right wing will attack, no matter what, so Al Gore's shirts are just another opportunity -- the same as the tie dye.

I suppose we have to stop listening to the right-wing attack dogs, at some point, but this seems like something easily dealt with. And, for the record -- I don't agree with a ban, either. I just wish that some would reel in their "flair."
