From An Angry Reader:<\/h3>\n
Dear Daniel Longo<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Mr Hanson, we can only thank you for the correct verbosity and non overuse of the word anemic, as any student of creative writing or freshman English would appreciate the lesson in your overly wordy presentation; problem is, and this seems frequently to escape your need to be correct, whereas my Colbert may be vulgar in his choice of words, your vulgarity resides in your heart. I’ll choose the profanity every time; so, go f–k yourself and your filthy ideals.

Victor Davis Hanson’s Reply:<\/h3>\n
D<\/a>ear Angry Reader Daniel Longo,<\/div>\n

Your first sentence is incoherent. Your argument is that while Colbert is explicitly obscene and crude, I am implicitly vulgar in my heart. But whereas I quoted Colbert\u2019s vulgarity as proof, you provided no examples to support your unhinged assertion. You, like Colbert, are repetitive: after exclaiming that you prefer profanity, there was no \u00a0need to elaborate with profanity. \u00a0I have no idea what \u201cfilthy ideals\u201d means nor do I imagine you do either.<\/div>\n
