Dennis Claxton: "So he's not a scholar."

But *he's* the one who did the scholar thing; he said "Read this book" rather than describe his own experiences.

"Why would/should critical info like he's providing be dismissed out of hand?"

Who's dismissing him out of hand? Not me. I want him to show me what he's talking about because it might be interesting. Democrats are frightened, as in feeling physically threatened, intimidated, ultimately afraid of violence of some sort from the Republican Party (which is certainly what is implied by him, if it is to have any meaning)? Show me. I want to know. Otherwise, claims of "Democrat Party cowardice" are meaningless; if he's just referring to the cowardice of careerists, who gives a shit? Who would think otherwise?
