LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Were you aware that Republicans aren't human beings? Neither was I! You learn something new every day, don't you? And, not being human beings, they're naturally fit for extermination. You warm up the cattle cars, I'll see if I can get a good deal on pre-owned poison gas on eBay.

Am I overeacting? Of course. Feingold's just a Village Voice theater reviewer, for goodness' sake. I just have an aversion to the rhetorical dehumanization of one's opponents. Drama critics aren't dangerous, but they can help legitimate a kind of discourse that, down the road, can empower the genuinely dangerous. That's all.
