Given the unfortunate politics of its owner, how was the “tart mustard-based barbeque” at Piggie Park?

Mr. Frazz, I was born and raised south of the Mason-Dixon line to parents also born and raised south of the Mason-Dixon line, and until a year ago, lived most of my adult life in the Old Dominion.

I think I know something about the South.

While Republicans do not have a monopoly on mendacity, they seem in recent years to have typified “bullshit” as defined by Harry G. Frankfurt in his book, On Bullshit. Worse than lying, “bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant.”

The name of the article is who is the liar? You make mention of mr wilson, belittle Southerners and republicans. Point a righteous finger at southern politicians fathering illegitimate children as if they were the only ones to do so in the history of the nation But you make no mention as to the real question why Mr Wilson called the president a liar? Why not just call the article I hate southerners and republicans?

I just tend to chalk it up to the latest in a long series of political outbursts from our friends, and fellow citizens, from S.C.. At least it did not turn into a Brooks v. Sumner caning on the floor of the House.

You offer fair observations about of the flavor of S.C. politics and demeanor of some. In no way do I excuse the inappropriate and unprofessional conduct of the Congressman last evening yet I am a bit troubled. I note a lot of finger pointing and scolding from the left this morning, online and on the Social Media tubes. A same level of intensity was not present previously when similar incidents occurred with W. Bush or with President Clinton.

A tempest in a tea pot perhaps?
