The GOP has both: Limbaugh and Alex Jones through guys like Lindsay Graham and Frum.

Democrats don't like to go low. Progressives could use a few more blunt truth tellers.

Perez speaks the way many do when PO'ed. A few blue words here and there can show the angst that exists. Taking the high road is often nothing more than avoiding confrontation. Many times confrontation, challenging, is necessary.
