Mark Nickolas of BlueGrassReports.org seems to have a penchant for name-calling, but he has really outdone himself with his comments today on Rep. Stan Lee, whom he calls, in a recent post, a "racist and a bigot." He is probably one of those "open-minded" liberals who opposes hate speech too, only to couch his close-mindedness in the most virulent forms of rhetoric.
His comments came in response to news that Rep. Lee had been elected by the House Republican Caucus to the position of Minority Whip.
And exactly how does Nickolas justify this characterization of Lee (whose only fault seems to be that he is a political conservative)? He doesn't say.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
