What struck me most about last week’s editorial, “Children are harmed most in right-wing culture crusades,” was not the message itself, which may or may not have merit, but the insults, name- calling and stereotyping that it stooped to in attempting to make its point. As any consumer of mainstream media — on the left or the right — knows, this type of ad hominem attack writ large is an unfortunate and increasing byproduct of the devolving discourse among fellow citizens in this state and country.
