The person Ms Lerner was conversing with then mentioned listening to right-wing radio and the persons calling in to these radio shows. That some of them were "whackos". To which Ms Lerner responded that these "crazies" were a threat to the United States.

Unless your argument is that none of the people who call into right-wing radio shows to rant show evidence of mental illness, then you really can't take issue with this particular email exchange.
Just listen to they things elected democrats are saying publicly and you will have plenty of "evidence of mental illness."

Lovely.

Now please tell me that NONE of the callers into right-wing radio could be considered "whackos".

Surprised this hoi paloi comment isnt being talked about more.

I've long believed the Democrats in DC use the poor and common folk as victims to keep them in power and what not. They won't often say it, but I have no doubt that many feel the same way about the common folk as Lerner does. They look down upon them and want them kept away from them. But its clear if you look at how they talk and legislate, that they put aside how they despise them to use them for their own political gains.
These very folks, the poor and middle class, continue to vote the very people that despise them into office. Then, these very folks defend people like Lerner to the point of mindless lunacy.

I'll never understand why all the core Democrat constituencies continue to vote against their own best interests by voting for more Democrats. It's mind-boggling.

They have a belief that they are owed something. As if, they were cheated out of a birthright. When they see people that have worked hard for what they have or even those who were born with a silver spoon they get angry. Liberal politicians feed that hunger. In turn they vote for them and they line their pockets. A simple example that drives the point home is watching liberals salivate when Pelosi states she's going to tax the rich to death. Sadly, it doesn't occur to liberals if they bust their hump, do whatever it takes and work hard they can have a decent life because it's easier to play the victim. Don't believe me? Just wait until you read the replies.. I bet I'm spot on. a thousand excuses and not a single solution. What's lacking is a clear view of their part in their situation. I know, I used to think this way.

I know! They just found an Email Lerner sent to Hillary that told her to keep soldiers from going to the "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi" outpost aid... I mean, how can that ignore that "fact", huh?

Typical, I'm referring to your elected democrats, and in order to sound relevant you have to dumb it down to whacked out radio talk show callers?

Since the specific posts I'm addressing are talking about the emails that Ms Lerner exchanged while on vacation in London, where the actual emails talked about "whacked out radio talk show callers", I AM actually keeping it relevant. None of those emails talked about conservatives, or members of the Tea Party. And your reference to "elected democrats" is off-topic and a blatant attempt at misdirection.
