• And what do Democrats stand for, if they are so ready to defame concerned citizens as the 'mob' - a word betraying a Marie Antoinette delusion of superiority to ordinary mortals.

And as a product of the 1960s, I thought the Democratic party was passionately committed to freedom of thought and speech.
