I think attempts to make me out to be the bad guy for asking to see where this has happened really won't stick.

I just find it so hard to believe that someone would say something the exact way you phrased it, and I'd like to know if they really did or if I feel you're putting words in their mouth. That's pretty fair of me to request... skepticism is a good default position.

Don't mistake this for denying that nastiness in the debate exists, or trivializing the seriousness of the issue. Further more, I couldn't agree more with your rejection of such a ridiculous talking point as the "its a choice" one.

But that doesn't mean I check a critical eye at the door... you said you've personally witnessed DUers making very specific statements and I'd like to see them, or I remain skeptical that they haven't been filtered heavily through an interpretive lens.
