Wingnuts who attacked Sun Times columnist were wrong!

Because I'm actually familiar with the local political scene, I did some research to check out my suspicions and voila, a rational explanation appears.

Jim Ronco is a freakin' trial attorney. You know, the ones the GOP right-wingers try to cripple? It would certainly stand to reason he'd be giving money to the opponents of the people trying to put him out of business. I mean, in the real world, where normal people live, you don't mess with their paycheck.

The final piece of the puzzle? Ronco lives in Montgomery County <...> a bellwether county, renowned for its pronounced brand of liberal Republicanism.

The reason why the Fighting Keyboard Kommandos couldn't figure this out is, they assume all Republicans march in ideological lockstep. Well, they don't. Jim Ronco is a typical liberal Republican - and he can't stand Bush. Makes perfect sense to me!
