Two points and then I'm done with this discussion:
1) Brad did give a tendentious misreading to what you wrote. I don't think that's evidence enough that he's an illiterate piece of excrement that doesn't deserve tenure from a decent school.
2) One of the things I've observed in my relatively short (about a decade long) politically aware life is that, oddly enough, it almost always seems to be one's political opponents (and not one's allies) that engage in all the shady practices you outlined.
